Utha Saqiya Parda Iss Raaz Se

Utha Saqiya Parda Iss Raaz Se
Lara De Mamoole Ko Shahbaz Se

Come lift the veil off mysteries,
And make a mere wagtail take eagles on.


The couplet is from Allama Iqbal, emphasizing the idea of the weak challenging the mighty through faith, wisdom, and courage. 

In the same spirit, here are more historical and religious examples where a seemingly weaker individual or force stood against a powerful oppressor or adversary:

Examples in the Same Context:

Prophet Dawood (AS) vs. Jaloot (Goliath) – A young shepherd, with faith and courage, defeated a mighty warrior.

Prophet Ibraheem (AS) vs. Namrud (Nimrod) – A single man stood against a tyrannical king who claimed divinity.

Prophet Musa (AS) vs. Firaun (Pharaoh) – A humble prophet confronted the most powerful ruler of his time and led his people to freedom.

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) vs. The Quraysh – A single man, supported by a small group, stood firm against the most powerful tribe of Arabia and transformed history.

Imam Hussain (AS) vs. Yazid – Though greatly outnumbered, Imam Hussain (AS) stood for truth against the tyranny of Yazid at Karbala.

Talut (King Saul) vs. Jaloot (Goliath’s army) – A small army of believers, led by Talut, faced and defeated a much larger force.

Asiya (RA) vs. Firaun – The wife of Pharaoh rejected his false claims and embraced faith, despite his cruelty.

Bilal (RA) vs. Umayyah ibn Khalaf – A powerless slave endured brutal torture but remained steadfast in his faith, ultimately outliving his oppressor.

The Boy and the King (Surah Al-Burooj 85:4-9) – A young boy exposed a tyrant’s weakness and led his people to the truth.

Each of these examples reflects the same theme of a weaker but righteous individual triumphing over a seemingly invincible force through faith, courage, and divine support.

The story of Dawood (David) and Jaloot (Goliath) is found in Islamic tradition, particularly in the Quran (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:249-251). In this account, Dawood (AS) was indeed a prophet and later became a king.

At the time of the battle, Dawood (AS) was a young man, not yet a prophet, but he was later chosen by Allah as both a prophet and a king (Surah Sad 38:26). He is known for defeating Jaloot (Goliath), who was a powerful warrior and the leader of an oppressive army.

This is the same Dawood (David) as in the Bible, recognized in all Abrahamic religions. In Islam, he is honored as a prophet (Nabi) and a righteous king who was given the Zabur (Psalms) by Allah.

Mobile phone robbed from food delivery person, then climbed on a tall building, and hanged himself https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Tr4MU7f-Xqk Surah Al-An'am (6:17) وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُۥۤ إِلَّا هُوَۖ وَإِن يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلَا رَآدَّ لِفَضْلِهِۦۚ يُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ اور اگر اللہ تمہیں کوئی تکلیف پہنچائے تو اس کے سوا کوئی اسے دور کرنے والا نہیں، اور اگر وہ تمہارے ساتھ بھلائی کا ارادہ کرے تو اس کے فضل کو کوئی روکنے والا نہیں۔ وہ اپنے بندوں میں سے جسے چاہے (اپنی رحمت سے) نوازتا ہے، اور وہ بڑا بخشنے والا، نہایت مہربان ہے۔ And if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him. And if He intends for you good, then there is no repeller of His bounty. He causes it to reach whom He wills of His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful. Al-An'am (The Cattle) 6:59 وَعِندَهُ ۥ مَفَاتِحُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ لَا يَعۡلَمُهَآ إِلَّا هُوَ‌ۚ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلۡبَرِّ وَٱلۡبَحۡرِ‌ۚ...

پھوپھی اور ماموں کے کردار کا موازنہ Comparison of the Roles of Paternal Aunt (Phuphi) and Maternal Uncle (Mamu)

Image
Comparison of the Roles of Paternal Aunt (Phuphi) and Maternal Uncle (Mamu) A phuphi (paternal aunt) is a woman who has forgiven your father for millions of rupees that were rightfully hers, yet she is considered a cruel woman. On the other hand, a mamoo (maternal uncle) is someone who has taken away your mother’s rightful share, yet he is still affectionately called "Chanda Mamoo" (beloved uncle). Why is this so? This is a result of societal attitudes and traditional thinking that have been passed down through generations. In our society, the roles of paternal aunts (Phuphi) and maternal uncles (Mamoo) are often viewed through a biased lens, which is usually unfair. 1. The Role of Phuphi (Paternal Aunt): A phuphi often gives up her share of inheritance or is pressured to do so. However, since she is married into another family and cannot interfere much in her brother’s household, nieces and nephews usually do not feel very close to her. In some cases, she is even perceived a...
