The film is the 1982 Richard Attenborough film starring Ben Kingsley, and BFI describes its focus on Gandhi’s life, South Africa, India’s independence movement, and the 1919 Amritsar massacre. 🎬 **Movie Review — Gandhi (1982)** I watched the movie **Gandhi** and recorded my review in both **English and Urdu**. The film was directed by **Richard Attenborough** and stars **Ben Kingsley** as Gandhi. It presents important periods of Gandhi’s life, including his experiences in South Africa and his involvement in India’s independence movement. In my review, I discuss the movie’s themes of **nonviolent resistance, civil disobedience, courage, leadership, social conflict, and historical change**. The film also presents major historical events, including the **1919 Amritsar massacre** and the tensions surrounding the end of British rule in India. One important thing I learned from this movie is that history is not only about dates and names. It also involves people, decisions, conflicts, sacrifices, and their consequences. At the same time, a historical movie is a dramatization, so it is useful to learn about the events from historical sources as well. 🎥 **English & Urdu Review Video** 📚 Learning history through cinema 🌍 Understanding historical events and different perspectives #Gandhi #GandhiMovie #MovieReview #History #FilmReview #IndianHistory #SouthAsianHistory #Learning #Education #RichardAttenborough #BenKingsley #HistoricalFilm #RehanSchool #RehanCodingWithAI BFI also records that the film won nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.

Once upon a time, there was a small village inhabited by many Muslims. Everyone in the village was kind and friendly to each other, but there was one person who stood out from the rest. His name was Hasan and he was known for being the most excellent Muslim in the village. One day, a traveler came to the village and asked the villagers why Hasan was considered the most excellent Muslim. The villagers explained, "Hasan is the most excellent Muslim because from his tongue and hand, all the Muslims in the village are safe." The traveler was puzzled and asked, "What does it mean to be safe from someone's tongue and hand?" The villagers explained, "It means that Hasan is always careful with his words, and never says anything that could hurt or harm others. He is also always careful with his actions, and never does anything that could cause harm or discomfort to others." The traveler was impressed, and decided to spend some time with Hasan to learn more about him. During his time with Hasan, he noticed that Hasan was always helpful and kind to others, and always followed the teachings of Islam. One day, the traveler asked Hasan about the second part of the Hadith, which says, "The most excellent of the emigrants is one who abandons what Allah has forbidden." Hasan explained, "This means that it is important to follow the teachings of Islam and avoid doing anything that is considered sinful or forbidden by Allah. By doing so, we can become better and more excellent Muslims." The traveler was inspired by Hasan's example, and decided to follow his lead and become a better Muslim himself. From that day on, the traveler lived his life with kindness, compassion, and obedience to the teachings of Islam, just like Hasan. In conclusion, the story of Hasan and the traveler teaches us about the importance of being kind, compassionate, and obedient to the teachings of Islam. By following the example of Hasan, we can strive to be the most excellent Muslims we can be. #childrenstory #ethics

Once upon a time, there was a young Muslim boy named Ali. He was very curious about his faith and wanted to learn more about it. One day, his father gave him a copy of the Quran, the holy book of Islam. Ali was so excited to read it and learn more about his faith. He read the Quran every day and tried to understand it. He was amazed by the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the wisdom of the Quran. He learned about the importance of prayer, charity, and kindness. He also learned about the importance of living a life of faith and obedience to Allah. Ali was so inspired by the Quran that he began to share its teachings with his friends and family. He taught them about the importance of living a life of faith and obedience to Allah. He also taught them about the importance of prayer, charity, and kindness. Ali's friends and family were so inspired by his teachings that they began to follow the teachings of the Quran as well. They learned about the importance of living a life of faith and obedience to Allah. They also learned about the importance of prayer, charity, and kindness. Ali was so proud of himself for understanding the Quran and teaching its teachings to others. He was thankful to his father for giving him the Quran and teaching him about its importance. He was also thankful to Allah for giving him the knowledge and understanding of the Quran. The moral of the story is that it is very important for a Muslim to understand the Quran, as it is the primary source of guidance for Muslims. Understanding the Quran is essential for a Muslim to live a life of faith and obedience to Allah.

The concept of renunciation, asceticism, or monasticism exists in various forms and under different names in different religious and spiritual traditions around the world. Here are some examples: 1. **Christianity**: - **Monasticism:** In Christianity, monasticism is the practice of individuals living in religious communities, often in monasteries or convents, where they take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Monks and nuns are common terms for male and female monastics. 2. **Buddhism**: - **Bhikkhu (Monk) and Bhikkhuni (Nun):** In Buddhism, individuals who renounce worldly life and join a monastic order are referred to as bhikkhus (monks) and bhikkhunis (nuns). They follow the Vinaya, a set of rules governing monastic conduct. 3. **Islam**: - **Sufism:** Within Islam, Sufism is a mystical and ascetic branch that emphasizes spiritual closeness to God. Some Sufis may lead a monastic-like life of seclusion and devotion. 4. **Judaism**: - **Essenes:** The Essenes were a Jewish sect in the Second Temple period known for their ascetic and communal lifestyle. 5. **Sikhism**: - **Khalsa:** In Sikhism, the Khalsa is a community of initiated Sikhs who adhere to a code of conduct that includes renunciation of certain worldly practices and a commitment to living a disciplined and spiritual life. 6. **Taoism**: - **Daoist Monasticism:** Taoist monasticism involves individuals living a simple, contemplative life in Taoist temples or hermitages, often emphasizing harmony with nature and inner cultivation. 7. **Hinduism**: - **Vanaprastha:** In Hinduism, Vanaprastha is the third stage of life, where individuals transition from the duties of family life to a more ascetic existence, often retiring to the forest or countryside for meditation and spiritual study. These are just a few examples, and many other religious and spiritual traditions have their own practices and terms related to renunciation and asceticism. Each tradition has its unique beliefs, practices, and guidelines governing the life of renunciants or monastics.

### The Celestial Origins: The Role of Lucifer and Iblis Before Their Fall In many religious traditions, particularly within Christianity and Islam, the figures known today as the Devil and Iblis were once beings of significant stature and reverence in the divine order. Before their fall from grace, Lucifer and Iblis played crucial roles in the celestial hierarchy, serving God with dedication and honor. This article explores their esteemed positions and the dramatic transformations that led to their eventual rebellion and downfall. #### Lucifer: The Morning Star of Christian Tradition **High-Ranking Angel:** Lucifer, whose name translates to "light-bringer" or "morning star," was regarded as one of the highest-ranking angels in heaven. Often believed to be an archangel, Lucifer held a position of great authority and responsibility. He was a leader among the heavenly hosts, guiding other angels in their duties and serving as a central figure in the divine order. **Guardian Cherub:** In the Book of Ezekiel (28:14), which is frequently interpreted as referencing Lucifer, he is described as the "anointed cherub who covers." This title suggests that Lucifer had a protective role, possibly as a guardian of God's throne or a specific sacred space within heaven. His duty was to safeguard the sanctity of the divine realm, reflecting his esteemed status and trust placed in him by God. **Worship Leader:** Non-canonical writings and various theological interpretations propose that Lucifer might have been a leader in worship, orchestrating the praises and adoration directed towards God. His described beauty and possible musical abilities would have made him an ideal leader of the heavenly choir, inspiring other angels in their worship through his own exemplary devotion. #### Iblis: The Devout Servant in Islamic Tradition **Status Among the Angels:** Although Iblis was a jinn, a being created from smokeless fire, he held a significant status among the angels due to his devout worship and piety. Unlike other jinn who roamed the earthly realms, Iblis was allowed to dwell among the angels and participate in the divine assembly. His exceptional devotion elevated his position, granting him a unique place in the heavenly hierarchy. **Devotion and Worship:** Iblis was renowned for his intense worship of Allah. His unwavering devotion and long-standing service earned him immense respect and a high standing in the celestial court. His piety was unmatched, and he was considered a model of obedience and reverence for God, reflecting his deep commitment to his divine duties. **Knowledge and Obedience:** Respected for his knowledge and unwavering obedience, Iblis played a crucial role in the affairs of the divine. His insights and understanding of the divine will were highly valued, making him a significant figure in the execution of God’s commands. His responsibilities and influence were considerable, further underscoring his prestigious position among the angels. #### The Turning Point: Pride and Rebellion Despite their lofty positions and close proximity to the divine, both Lucifer and Iblis harbored a fatal flaw: pride. This pride led to their eventual rebellion against God’s will, marking their transition from revered beings to embodiments of evil. **Lucifer's Rebellion:** In Christian tradition, Lucifer's downfall is chronicled through various scriptures. Isaiah 14:12-15 describes how Lucifer's prideful ambition led him to seek a throne above God's. Ezekiel 28:17 details his heart becoming proud on account of his beauty and splendor. Ultimately, his rebellion culminated in a war in heaven, where Michael and his angels defeated Lucifer and cast him out (Revelation 12:7-9). This expulsion transformed Lucifer into Satan, the adversary of God and humanity. **Iblis’s Disobedience:** In Islamic tradition, Iblis's fall is vividly depicted in several Quranic verses. Surah Al-Baqarah (2:34) recounts how Iblis refused to bow to Adam, arguing his superiority due to his creation from fire while Adam was made from clay. His refusal, driven by pride and arrogance, led to his expulsion from paradise. Surah Al-A'raf (7:11-18) and Surah Sad (38:71-85) further elaborate on his defiance and subsequent role as Shaytan (Satan), whose mission is to lead humans astray. #### Conclusion Before their respective falls, Lucifer and Iblis were esteemed figures in the divine realm, serving God with dedication and honor. Their stories, deeply embedded in Christian and Islamic traditions, serve as powerful reminders of the dangers of pride and the consequences of rebellion against the divine will. Today, as embodiments of evil, their tales continue to shape theological understandings of sin, temptation, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

“Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.” – Tao Te Ching The ancient Chinese text, Tao Te Ching by Laozi, is filled with profound wisdom that has guided leaders, thinkers, and seekers for centuries. Among its timeless teachings, the line “Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.” captures a truth that resonates deeply across cultures and eras: real greatness comes not from control over others, but from mastery over one’s own self. Strength in Mastering Others In society, strength is often measured by how much influence or control one has over others. A military commander, a corporate leader, or a political figure who can command obedience is often seen as powerful. This type of mastery requires charisma, authority, and sometimes force. It can lead to victories, wealth, and fame. Yet, this strength is external—it depends on others recognizing and submitting to that authority. History is full of leaders who conquered nations but were unable to conquer their own anger, greed, or fear. Their external strength crumbled when their internal weaknesses caught up with them. Power in Mastering Yourself Self-mastery, however, is a different kind of power. It is invisible, quiet, and deeply personal. It means gaining control over one’s impulses, emotions, and desires. A person who can resist temptation, remain calm in the face of chaos, and stay true to their values is far more powerful than one who rules over armies but is a slave to their own passions. For example, Mahatma Gandhi never led a battalion, yet his self-discipline, simplicity, and inner strength inspired millions to follow him and brought down an empire without violence. His power came from within, and it proved stronger than any sword. The True Balance of Leadership When someone combines external strength with internal mastery, they achieve balance. A leader who knows how to guide others while staying grounded in humility and self-control can bring lasting change. Without self-mastery, strength turns into tyranny. With self-mastery, strength transforms into service. Practical Path to Self-Mastery • Awareness: Recognize your thoughts and emotions instead of being ruled by them. • Discipline: Train yourself through small daily habits—whether in health, study, or work. • Patience: True power comes from restraint and endurance, not quick reactions. • Purpose: Align your actions with higher values, not fleeting desires. Conclusion The words of the Tao Te Ching remind us that anyone can seek strength by controlling others, but only the truly wise seek power by controlling themselves. To master yourself is to gain freedom—from fear, from greed, from anger. And that freedom is the deepest, most unshakable form of power. As leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers, we must remember: the world may admire our strength, but it will only be transformed by our self-mastery.

A Leader Creates More Leaders, Not Followers Leadership is not about gathering followers around oneself—it is about inspiring, empowering, and enabling others to become leaders in their own right. As John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States, famously said: “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” True leadership multiplies itself. Instead of building dependency, real leaders build capacity in people so they too can guide, innovate, and uplift others. ⸻ How is it Done? 1. Empowerment Through Trust: Leaders give responsibility and authority to their team members. Instead of micromanaging, they trust people to make decisions, learn from mistakes, and grow stronger. 2. Mentorship and Knowledge Sharing: A leader who creates leaders does not hoard knowledge. They mentor, coach, and share wisdom so that others are equipped to step into leadership roles themselves. 3. Encouraging Independent Thinking: Leaders don’t want blind obedience. They want critical thinkers who can question, innovate, and improve upon existing systems. 4. Opportunities for Growth: By providing training, exposure, and real-world challenges, leaders give others the space to develop their own leadership qualities. 5. Recognition and Empowering Identity: True leaders highlight others’ achievements and give them a platform to shine, instead of keeping the spotlight only on themselves. ⸻ Why is this Important for Pakistan? Pakistan faces multiple challenges: economic instability, weak institutions, corruption, lack of innovation, and limited opportunities for its youth. These cannot be solved by one charismatic leader alone. The country needs thousands of capable leaders across all levels of society—leaders in business, education, technology, healthcare, and governance. 1. Economic Growth: By creating entrepreneurs and startup founders, Pakistan can build new industries, jobs, and wealth. This reduces dependency on foreign aid and loans. 2. Social Impact: Leaders in communities can solve local problems—such as clean water, literacy, women empowerment, and digital access—faster and more effectively than waiting for government intervention. 3. Political Stability: When citizens become leaders, they demand accountability, transparency, and better governance. This reduces the culture of blind following and creates a stronger democracy. 4. Global Competitiveness: To compete in the modern world, Pakistan must produce innovators and visionaries who can take the country forward in technology, AI, renewable energy, and other future industries. In short, Pakistan cannot rise on the shoulders of one leader. It must rise through a generation of leaders. ⸻ Who Said So? • John Quincy Adams: “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” • Tom Peters (Management Expert): “Leaders don’t create followers, they create more leaders.” • Mahatma Gandhi: “I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.” These perspectives converge on one truth: leadership is not about command, but about empowerment. ⸻ Conclusion For Pakistan to become prosperous and raise its per capita income to $100,000 a year, the focus must shift from producing followers to producing leaders. A leader who builds followers creates dependency, but a leader who builds leaders creates sustainability, innovation, and progress. If every Pakistani leader creates 10 more leaders, within a generation Pakistan will have the leadership depth to transform itself from a struggling nation into a thriving global force. That is the reason I created Rehan School, where we have identified 100 problems of Pakistan, and we want your children to dedicate the rest of their lives to becoming leaders in their space. There is no school in the world doing this today. It used to happen hundreds of years ago, but not anymore. Now we are facing a global leadership crisis. Look around you—do you really want the leaders you see today? We cannot change the past, but we can change the future. Come visit Rehan School. Talk to our students. Enroll your children. See what we are doing, and dedicate at least one of your children to spend the rest of their life as a world problem-solving leader.
