Class 8 English Notes PTB (Unit-1) Tolerance of the Rasoolullah (خاتم انبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم) Key Book [New Edition]
Urdu Translation of the Lesson #1 “Tolerance of the Rasoolullah (خاتم انبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم)”
اللہ کے رسول (خاتم انبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم) کی بردباری / برداشت
رواداری کا مطلب ہے کہ مشکلات یا مصائب کو صبر و تحمل کے ساتھ برداشت کرنا۔ اس کا مطلب یہ بھی ہے کہ ان چیزوں کو برداشت کرنا جو آپ کو ناپسند ہوں۔ مثلاً، جب آپ انتقام لینے کی حالت میں ہوں مگر انتقام نہ لیں تو آپ رواداری کا مظاہرہ کر رہے ہوتے ہیں۔ سب سے بڑی رواداری ہمارے رسول اللہ خاتم النبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم نے دکھائی۔
رسول اللہ خاتم النبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم رواداری کی اعلیٰ ترین مثال ہیں۔ انہوں نے کبھی کسی کے لئے بدخواہی نہیں کی۔ حضرت عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا فرماتی ہیں کہ رسول اللہ خاتم النبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم نے کبھی کسی سے انتقام نہیں لیا۔ ابو سفیان اسلام کے سب سے بڑے دشمن تھے جب تک کہ وہ مسلمان نہ ہو گئے۔ فتح مکہ کے موقع پر، رسول اللہ خاتم النبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم نے نہ صرف انہیں معاف کیا بلکہ انہیں عزت بھی بخشی اور ان لوگوں کے لئے عام معافی کا اعلان کیا جو ان کے گھر میں پناہ لیں۔
جب رسول اللہ خاتم النبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم اسلام کی تبلیغ کے لئے طائف گئے تو وہاں کے لوگوں نے ان پر پتھر پھینکے۔ حضرت جبرائیل علیہ السلام نے اس موقع پر رسول اللہ خاتم النبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم سے عرض کیا، “اللہ نے آپ کی قوم کی باتیں سنی ہیں اور جو کچھ انہوں نے آپ کو کہا ہے وہ بھی سنا ہے۔ اللہ نے آپ کے پاس پہاڑوں کے فرشتے کو بھیجا ہے تاکہ آپ جو چاہیں ان لوگوں کے ساتھ کرنے کا حکم دیں۔” پہاڑوں کے فرشتے نے آ کر رسول اللہ خاتم النبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم کو سلام کیا اور کہا، “اے محمد (صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم)! جو چاہیں حکم دیں۔ اگر آپ چاہیں تو میں ان دو پہاڑوں کو ان پر گرا دوں۔” رسول اللہ خاتم النبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم نے فرمایا، “نہیں، بلکہ میں امید کرتا ہوں کہ اللہ ان کی نسل سے ایسے لوگ پیدا کرے گا جو اللہ کی عبادت کریں گے اور اس کے سوا کسی کی عبادت نہیں کریں گے۔” (صحیح بخاری: 3231) ہمیں اپنے رسول اللہ خاتم النبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم کی تعلیمات پر عمل کرنا چاہئے۔ ہم ان کی زندگی سے سیکھتے ہیں کہ انہوں نے کتنی زیادہ رواداری کا مظاہرہ کیا۔ رسول اللہ خاتم النبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم نے اپنی پوری زندگی میں بڑی رواداری کا مظاہرہ کیا۔ انہوں نے اپنے دشمنوں کے لئے بھی دعا کی اور ان لوگوں کے لئے بھی جنہوں نے انہیں تکلیف دی۔
اپنی آخری خطبہ میں، رسول اللہ خاتم النبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم نے فرمایا، “خون کے بدلے بدلہ لینا، جیسا کہ اسلام سے پہلے جاہلیت کے دنوں میں رواج تھا، حرام ہے۔ میں ان لوگوں کو معاف کرتا ہوں جنہوں نے میرے چچا زاد بھائی ابن ربیعہ کو قتل کیا۔” حضرت انس بن مالک رضی اللہ عنہ نے فرمایا، “میں نے رسول اللہ خاتم النبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم کی دس سال خدمت کی۔ اللہ کی قسم، انہوں نے کبھی بھی میری کسی بات یا عمل پر اعتراض نہیں کیا۔”
ہمیں، بطور مسلمان، اپنے رسول اللہ خاتم النبیین صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم کی رواداری کی اعلی مثال کو اپنانا چاہئے۔ معاشرے میں پھیلنے والی بدامنی اور تنازعات کی وجہ عدم رواداری ہے۔ اس مسئلے کا واحد حل یہ ہے کہ ہم اپنے محبوب رسول حضرت محمد صلی اللہ علیہ و علی آلہ و اصحابہ وسلم کے قائم کردہ اعلی مثالوں پر عمل کریں۔
