Hebrews 4:9
“Pas Khuda ki ummat ke liay Sabbath ka aaram baqi hai.”
Imaandaar ki haalat aasman mein us ki maujooda haalat se kitni mukhtalif hogi; yahan woh mehnat o mashakkat ke liye paida hua hai, magar us la-faani sarzameen par thakan ka koi naam o nishan na hoga; apne Maalik ki khidmat ke liye be-chain hota hai, magar jab apni quwwat ko apne josh ke barabar nahin paata to be-ikhtiyar keh uthta hai, “Ae mere Khuda, mujhe apni khidmat ke laiq bana,” aur agar woh poori musta‘adi se kaam kare to use bohot kaam karna parta hai jo us ki marzi ke liye to zyada nahin magar us ki himmat se bohot barh kar hota hai, yahan tak ke woh pukar uthta hai, “Main kaam se uktaaya to nahin magar thak zaroor gaya hoon”; ae Masihi, thakan ka yeh garam din hamesha nahin rahega, sooraj ghuroob hone ke qareeb hai aur woh aik aise din ke saath dobara tulu‘ hoga jo tere har pichhle din se zyada roshan hoga; woh aisi sarzameen hogi jahan log din raat Khuda ki khidmat karte hain aur phir bhi apne kaamon se aaraam paate hain, yahan aaraam adhoora hai magar wahan kaamil, yahan Masihi hamesha be-qarar aur tahi-daaman rehta hai kyunke use mehsoos hota hai ke itni mehnat ke bawajood woh abhi manzil tak nahin pohncha, jabke wahan sab aaraam mein honge, woh pahaar ki choti tak pohnch chuke honge aur apne Khuda ki aaghosh mein daakhil ho chuke honge, is se buland woh ja hi nahin sakte; ae mehnat se choor mazdoor, zara soch ke jab tu hamesha ke aaraam mein daakhil hoga to woh manzar kaisa hoga, kya tu us ka tasawwur kar sakta hai, woh abadi aaraam hoga, aisa aaraam jo daaimi hai; yahan meri behtareen khushiyon par bhi fana ki mohar sabt hai, mere khoobsurat phool murjha jaate hain, mere sheereen jaam talchhat tak bhar jaate hain, mere sab se azeez parinday maut ke teeron se gir jaate hain, mere sab se khushgawar din raat mein badal jaate hain aur mere pur-masarrat faraaz gham ke nashebon mein badal jaate hain, magar wahan sab kuch la-faani hoga, barbat zang-aalood nahin hogi, taaj murjhaaye ga nahin, aankh dhundhlaayegi nahin, awaaz larkharaayegi nahin, dil uchaat nahin hoga aur tera la-faani wajood poori tarah be-payaan suroor mein dooba hoga; kaisa mubarak din, kitna mubarak samaan, jab fana ko baqa nigal jaayegi aur abadi sabt ka aaghaz hoga۔
Luke 24:27
“Sab nawishton mein jitni batain us ke haq mein likhi hui thin wo un ko samjha din.”
Emmaus ke raaste par chalne wale woh dono shagird nihayat babarkat safar mein thay. Un ka hum-safar zamanon ka behtareen ustaad tha. Woh hazaar mein aik aisa mufassir tha jismein hikmat aur ma‘rifat ke sab khazaanay posheeda hain. Khudawand Yesuʿ Masih ne farotni ke sath khud apni khushkhabri sunanay wale ka kirdar ikhtiyar kiya aur do bandon ke samne bhi khidmat karne se koi aar mehsoos na ki. Aaj bhi woh akelay shakhs ka ustaad banne se inkaar nahi karta. Humein aisay azeem ustaad ki rifaqat ke hamesha taalib rehna chahiye, kyun ke jab tak woh hamare liye ilahi hikmat ka sarchashma na bane, hum nijaat ki poori tafheem haasil nahi kar sakte. Is be-misal ustaad ne aik darsi kitaab ki tarah duniya ki behtareen kitaab ko apnaya. Agarche woh naye mukashafay aur bhed bhi zahir kar sakta tha, magar us ne purani baaton ki tashreeh ko tarjeeh di. Woh apni kaamil ilmiyat mein jaanta tha ke taleem dene ka sab se mufeed aur mo‘assar tareeqa kaun sa hai. Musa aur nabiyon ki taraf rujoo‘ karke us ne humein dikhaya ke hikmat ka sab se mehfooz raasta qiyaas araai, mehaz aql araai ya insani kitaabon ka mutalea nahi, balkay Khuda ke kalaam par ghour-o-fikr hai. Aasmani ilm mein roohani daulat haasil karne ka sab se aasaan tareeqa yehi hai ke heerey ki is kaan ko khoda jaye aur is aasmaani samandar se moti talaash kiye jayein. Jab khud Yesuʿ ne doosron ko mala-maal karna chaha to us ne muqaddas noshton ka hi rukh kiya. In dono shagirdon ko sab se aala mazmoon par ghour karne ki rehnumai di gayi, kyun ke Yesuʿ ne apne hi baare mein baat ki aur apne hi muta‘alliq bhed kholay. Yahan heera heere ko tarash raha tha, aur is se barh kar khoobsurat baat aur kya ho sakti hai. Ghar ke malik ne khud apne darwazay kholay, mehmanon ko apni mez tak le gaya aur apni hi ne‘matain un ke samne rakh dein. Jis ne khazana khet mein chhupaya tha, usi ne talaash karne walon ki rehnumai bhi ki. Hamare Khudawand ne fitri tor par sab se sheereen mauzoo‘ par guftagu ki, aur use apni zaat aur apne kaam se barh kar koi mauzoo‘ sheereen na mila. Humein bhi hamesha Kalaam-e-Muqaddas ko isi nazar se parhna chahiye. Kaash humein yeh fazl haasil ho ke hum Bible Muqaddas ka mutalea is tarah karein ke Yesuʿ hamara ustaad bhi ho aur hamara sabaq bhi.
