دنیا گزرگاہ ہے، قرار گاہ نہیں۔ اور اس میں لوگ دو قسم کے ہیں: ایک وہ جس نے اس میں اپنے نفس کو بیچ ڈالا اور اسے ہلاک کر دیا، اور دوسرا وہ جس نے اپنے نفس کو خرید لیا اور اسے آزاد کر دیا۔
English Translation • انگریزی ترجمہ
“The world is a place of passage, not a place of stay. People in it are of two kinds: one who sells his soul and destroys it, and one who buys his soul and frees it.”
Reflections: Imam Ali ؑ offers a powerful metaphor for **Spiritual Autonomy**. He explains that every action we take in this world is a transaction. We either “sell” our soul to worldly desires and ego, which leads to spiritual destruction ($Oubaqa$), or we “buy back” our soul from these distractions through discipline and devotion, leading to ultimate freedom. This wisdom reminds us that true liberty is found in self-mastery, not in following every impulse.
Hazrat Ali A.S Saying
“
الدُّنْيَا دَارُ مَمَرٍّ لَا دَارُ مَقَرٍّ۔
دنیا ایک گزرگاہ ہے، رہنے کی جگہ نہیں ہے۔
“The world is a place of transit, not a place of rest.”
