Mustaqil mizaji ka raaz

Ek pursukoon aur khoobsurat mohallay mein Abdullah aur Khalid naam ke do achay dost rehte thay. Dono ek hi jamaat mein parhte thay, lekin un ki aadatein ek doosre se bilkul mukhtalif thin.

Abdullah apni mustaqil mizaji ke liye mashhoor tha. Woh kabhi bhi apne kaam mein takheer nahi karta tha. Us ka mamool yeh tha ke woh school ke tamam assignments, homework aur rozmarra ke kaam waqt par mukammal karta, aur saath hi baqaidagi se pichlay asbaaq ki dohrai bhi karta tha. Woh har kaam ko us ke tay shuda waqt par karne ka aadi tha aur kisi bhi cheez ko kal par nahi taalta tha.

Is ke baraks, Khalid ke saath maamla alag tha. Woh aksar apne kaam bhool jata ya susti ki wajah se unhein kal par taal deta. Jab bhi usay koi naya kaam milta, woh sochta ke "yeh to main kal kar loon ga", aur is chakkar mein kaam jama hotay hotay ek pahar ki tarah ikathay ho jatay thay. Phir aakhri waqt mein usay shadeed pareshani aur ghabrahat ka saamna karna parta tha.

Ek din, jab Khalid apne bohat saare adhooray kaamon aur school ke dher saare homework ko dekh kar pareshan baitha tha, to Abdullah us ke paas aaya.

Khalid ne udaas ho kar poocha: "Abdullah! Tum itne mustaqil mizaj kaise ho? Tum kabhi bhi apna koi kaam nahi bhoolte aur har cheez waqt par kaise kar lete ho? Mujhe bhi apni is mustaqil mizaji ka raaz batao!"

Abdullah muskuraya aur pyaar se apne dost ke kandhay par haath rakh kar bola: "Khalid! Is ka sab se bara sabaq humein humare Rab ne rozana ki ibadat yaani namaz se sikhaya hai. Zara ghaur karo, Allah Ta'ala ne din mein paanch namazein farz ki hain aur har namaz ka ek khaas waqt muqarrar kiya hai. Agar hum Fajr ki namaz Zuhr ke waqt parhein, ya Asr ki namaz Maghrib ke baad parhein, to kya woh waqt par ada hui? Bilkul nahi. Allah Ta'ala ne humein yeh sikhaya hai ke har kaam apne waqt par hi acha lagta hai."

Abdullah ne mazeed samjhatay hue kaha: "Namaz humein yeh bohat bara dars deti hai ke ek Musalman ki zindagi mein har kaam ka ek waqt hona chahiye. Kaam ko bilawajah muakhkhar karna ek aisi bimari hai jo shuru mein to aaramdeh lagti hai, lekin aagay chal kar insaan ko shadeed zehni takleef aur pareshani deti hai."

Khalid ne ghaur se apne dost ki baat suni, phir ek lambi aah bhar kar bola: "Baat to tum ne bilkul sachi kahi Abdullah! Lekin kya karoon? Jab bhi kaam karne baithta hoon, to mujh par susti taari ho jati hai aur mera dil kaam karne ko nahi chahta. Is susti ka kya ilaaj karoon?"

Abdullah ne pur-aitmaad lehje mein jawab diya: "Bhai! Susti ka ilaaj sirf aur sirf chusti aur bedaari hai. Jab bhi dil kahe ke 'kaam kal kar lein ge', usi lamhe apne aap ko jhatko, uth kharay ho aur kaho ke 'nahi, mujhe yeh kaam abhi aur isi waqt karna hai!' Jaise hi tum susti ko hata kar chusti ka muzahira karo ge, tumhari yeh aadat hamesha ke liye badal jaye gi."

Khalid ko Abdullah ki yeh baat dil par lag gayi. Us ne apne dost se waada kiya ke ab woh waqt ki pabandi kare ga aur susti ko apne oopar haavi nahi hone de ga.
