محترم مبشرصاحب سلام مسنون
اللہ کرے کہ اس کے فضل وکرم سے آپ مع اہل خانہ خیریت سے ہوں۔آپ کی کتاب قرآن اوربائبل کے دیس میں پڑھی،پہلے میں نے کسی دوست کے پاس دیکھی چندصفحات دیکھنے کے بعد خود خریدنے کا فیصلہ کیااور کتاب پڑھی ،کیاخوب لکھا ہے ۔ایک خوبصورت سفرنامہ بھی ہے اور تاریخ بھی ہے اور بہترین گائیڈبھی ہے ۔ایک پاکیزہ اور دلنشین اور سادہ اورخوبصورت سفرنامہ اور کتاب ہے ۔باوجوداسکے کہ آپ شاید کوئی ادیب اورشاعرنہیں ہیں لیکن ایک مقدس ترین جگہ کے بارہ میں لکھا گیا ہے اور آپ کا دل بلکہ اپنے دل کی روشنائی سے قلم ڈبوکر لکھا گیا ہے اس لئے میں مسلسل کتاب کو نہیں پڑھ سکا،بارباررکناپڑتاتھا اس لئے نہیں کہ مضمون ٹوٹتا تھا یا تحریر کا کوئی سقم تھا بلکہ آپ نے ایسے ایمان افروز انداز میں لکھا ہوا تھا کہ میں تو خود آپ کے ساتھ ساتھ نہیں بلکہ آپ کے پیچھے پیچے ان جگہوں پر چلناشروع ہوگیا اور حسرت ومحبت کی وجہ سےانکھوں میں اآنسوہی آتے رہے کہ کاش میں بھی ان مقدس جگہوں کو دیکھ لوں کہ جو جنت سے بھی بڑھ کرمحبوب ہیں ۔
آپ کی ایک اوربہت پیاری ادالگی کہ آپ ان جگہوں کی بابت مبالغہ آمیزروایتوں کے رعب میں نہیں آئے اور توحید اور عشق ومحبت کے درمیان ایک باریک سا فرق جوہوتاہے اس کوخوب خوب سمجھااور قاری کی ایسے وقت میں بہت ہی پیارے رنگ میں رہنمائی کردی کہ ایویں بہک نہ جانا ۔بہت خوب بہت ہی خوب
اللہ آپ کواپنے بیوی بچوں سمیت سلامت رکھے اور اس دیارحبیب کی برکتوں سے خوب مالامال کرے آپ کی بچیوں کوبھی نیک نصیب والابنائے خاص طورپر جس نے نوٹس لئے ان کا بھی شکریہ اداکردیں۔۔بہت خوب مبشرصاحب بہت خوب۔

آپ کے محبت بھرے تاثرات کا بہت بہت شکریہ۔ آپ جیسے بھائیوں کی حوصلہ افزائی سے مزید محنت کرنے کو جی چاہتا ہے۔ آپ نے اپنا تعارف نہیں کروایا۔ آپ کہاں ہوتے ہیں؟
اس سفرنامے کا دوسرا حصہ بھی موجود ہے جو ابھی زیر طبع ہے۔ آپ اس کی سافٹ کاپی میری ویب سائٹ سے حاصل کر سکتے ہیں۔ میری دوسری تحریریں بھی یہاں موجود ہیں۔ لنک یہ ہے:

As Salam u Alaikum,
Dear Mubashir,
This is a long due email to thank you for providing such an informative website, especially your travelogues that helped me a lot. I wish I had stumbled upon them earlier before coming over to Saudi Arabia. That would have made my life much easier because if one knows what to expect than it is much easier to bear with it and one of the virtues that these people try their best to instill in anyone trying to come over to Saudi Arabia is patience 🙂
Anyway, I am new to KSA (I guess I should not say that because I have been here for the last 6months and more than half my tenure is already gone!) and during the Eid-al-Fitr holidays wanted to visit the Haramain Sharifan as well as the Islamic historical sites with my family so that it would be much easier for my kids to learn and remember the Islamic history and more importantly about the life of the best man that ever walked on the face of earth, Prophet Muhammad SAW. I was wondering where to get help from. As you have rightly mentioned that the ‘Desi’ people are just not fond of travel and adventure and it is very difficult to talk to Saudis if one does not know Arabic. So I was stuck to whatever information I could get on my own, primarily from the Internet.
While browsing the web for Arabic language I ended up at your wonderful site and the Arabic language learning contents that you have developed. Fortunately I was able to discover your travelogues and the “Quran aur Bible kay Dais Main” was a treasure found and my travel planning became much easier. I printed part one of it and took it along with me (That was a nice decision as I used it as a guide all along whenever I thought I was lost 🙂 ). For one week after Eid my family and I had a wonderful time in and around Makkah and Madina. Thanks to you we could visit some other places as well including Badar, Hada, Taif, and Shifa.
Since this was a last minute discovery I could not see all the pictures that included the map of Masjid-e-Adaas as well. I was wondering how could you miss putting a map of it while you have taken pains to describe the actual correct place. On our return I found the map among the pictures that I wished I had. But never the less we could visit the “other” purported Masjid-e-Adaas as described in the encyclopedia and we discussed the event and what we could learn from it, which I think was crux of the visit. I think that was good for the time being and perhaps I can visit the ‘original’ one in some future visits, Insha’Allah.
Also, we could not visit Abwa as it was late at night when we reached the exit 974 and I decided not to go for the adventure for the time being …
Anyhow, this email is to appreciate your efforts … Hopefully I shall be visiting Madain Salah, Khyber and the other places in winters, Insha’Allah… In this regard if you could provide some more information about the exact department and their contact information from whom one needs to take permission to visit Madain Salah, it shall be highly appreciated …
BTW taking additional aspiration from your Hajj experience I am planning to go for Hajj this time and with my family i.e. wife and kids, Insha’Allah, and on my own i.e. with our any tour operator … Any new thoughts on this from you or additional insights would be highly appreciated.
I am a teacher from the IBA, Karachi, Pakistan and currently on a one year assignment as a researcher at the Center of Excellence in Information Assurance (CoEIA), King Saud University, Riyadh.
If you happen to be in Riyadh, please do drop by. I guess it is going to be a privilige to be with you and perhaps we can learn some good from you, Insha’Allah.
Take care,
Jazak Allah ho khairn once again,
Ma As Salam

Dear Irfan
Wa alaikum us salam wa Rahmatullah
It is a great pleasure to have contact with a knowledgeable person like you. Many thanks for your kind comments. I’ll try to add the map of all the points that are mostly unknown. For permission of Madain Saleh, it is simple. Just search Arak Hotel / Madain Saleh Hotel and Al-O’laa. Get their numbers and reserve room for you. They’ll arrange the permission. You’ve to fax your Iqama.
Whenever you decide to go, let me know for further advice. If you come for Hajj / U’mrah, just give me a call. We can meet to learn from each other. If I come to Riyadh, we’ll meet there. Currently I’m living in Jeddah.
Which subject do you teach? What’s the topic of your research?
Remember in your supplications,
Wassalaam

Salam again
Dear i m grateful 2 u for ur prompt and satisfactory reply. I have gone through ur safarnama today and i found it very interesting, effective, informative and appealing. Most of the information u provided are really new to me especially the the historical perspective of the holy places. Further, the support of pictures makes it very reader-friendly.
As far as ur articles are concerned, they have the same appreciation as i mentioned above. On the negative aspect, I have a minor observation. Sometimes I feel lack of flow in ur articles as u maintained in ur safarnama. Let me clarify what I mean by the word “flow”. Ur safarnama appears to be spontaneous as u maintain the originality and u try not to indulge in visualizing ur reader. On the oter hand, ur articles appear to be a very serious talk and probably the reason is that u attempt to keep the reader in ur mind. However, this is my observation which may be wrong. Further, I feel I m junior to u in writing skills and I am attempting to say beyond my status.
I need the same harsh criticism from ur side and guidelines so that I can improve myself in writing skills.
I am also forwarding u my self-developed questionnaire which I prepared with the help Rehan and Mufti Tahir Abdullah. Rehan is against the marking system and he just want to make it just like a checklist. I need ur comments on it.
Be in touch

Aoa,
Hope u r good. I have read about 40 pages of the safarnama. It is maiden reading of any of your Urdu pieces of writing and I m enjoying going through. Your style is simple yet thought provoking, reader friendly, engages reader & punctuated with self-dialogue-type writing. Your “preaching” mentality has utilized / devised even safarnama. Emphasize Morality / character building is another prominent factor. You r rightly complainant of Muslims’ negligence / slumber but at the same time not hopeless. Historic and geographic references r appreciable as well. Hope to explore more with your exciting vision.

امید ہے آپ خیریت سے ہوں گے ۔۔۔آپ کا سفر نامہ عرب زیر مطالعہ ہے ۔۔ اور بہت اچھا لگ رہا پڑھ کر کہ بڑا معلوماتی سفر نامہ ہے ۔۔ میں خود اس وقت سعودی عرب ، ریاض میں مقیم ہوں ۔۔۔ اور شخصیت کی تعمیر کے حوالے سے کتاب محفوظ کر رہا ہوں ۔۔ امید ہے کہ آپ مزید ٓنے والی تحاریر سے مطلع فرمائیں گے ۔۔
علاوہ اس کے اجازت بھی چاہوں گا کہ آپ کی تحاریر کو کتابی شکل یعنی ایک یا دو فایلوں کی صورت میں دوسری ویب ساءٹس جیسے اردو فورمز پر بھی متعارف کرواوں ۔۔۔ تاہم اس میں یہ خصوصی خیال رکھوں گا کہ آپ کی ویب ساءٹ اور درست حوالے درج ہوں ۔۔۔ اور آپ کو بھی دعوت دیتا ہوں کہ اگر وقت ہو تو اردو فورمز میں شرکت کریں ۔۔۔ آج کل میں اردو محفل نامی فورم کا ممبر ہوں جہاں اردو ادب کے حوالے سے خاصے قابل لوگ موجود ہیں ۔۔۔۔
خوش رہیں

آپ کے تاثرات کا بہت بہت شکریہ۔ یقینی طور پر قارئین کے تاثرات سے مصنف کے جذبے میں اضافہ ہوتا ہے۔ آپ جس فورم پر چاہیں، میری کتب کو رکھ سکتے ہیں۔ لنک ضرور پیسٹ کر دیجیے گا۔
میں خود بھی اردو محفل فورم کا ایک خاموش ممبر ہوں اور وقتا فوقتا اس فورم میں کی جانے والی انٹریز کا مطالعہ کرتا رہتا ہوں۔ حال ہی میں علوم الحدیث: ایک مطالعہ کے عنوان سے ایک کتاب شائع کی ہے۔ جلد ہی اسلام میں جسمانی و ذہنی غلامی کے انسداد کی تاریخ کے عنوان سے ایک اور کتاب شائع کر رہا ہوں۔
آپ کے مشوروں اور دعاؤں کا طالب رہوں گا۔

Asalam u Alikum
Main apka safar namah arh rahi hoon ajkal. MashaAllah boht hi achi koshish hai apki…jis terha app ne sath sath aqeedah ko darust karne ki koshish ki hai aur jaise apni islamic info ko bayan kiya hai its really cool.Wahan maza ata hi tub hai jab app ko pehly see sari info maloom hoon.Like Uhad k maidan main wo manzar soch kar insan ki ankhein ansoo see bhar jati hain k Yahin 70 sahaba R.A shahhed huay.jaggah itni sakhat k khodi nahin jati.Garmi see bura haal.wasael itne kam k kuffan mayasar nahin.Hazart Hamza RA ki na’ash mubarak ka muslah kar diya gaya……..Nabi SAW k dant mubarak shaheed hoo gay……….Kitni mushkalat deen k liye un logon ne uthien aur ajj hum ne deen ki kiya halat kar di
Har har qadam per koe na koe tareekhi baat wa basta hai……mere khayal main jane se pehly in sab batoon ka ilm hoo tou insan zaidayah kuch seekh sakta hai.but tragic sceen is of pakistanis there.
Mujhy Allah ne apna ghar dekhaya hai aur mujhy bohut Maza aya.Meri zindgi ka pehla safar tha aur wo b boht khoobsurat jegha ka.
mera apko mail karne ka maqsad yeh hai k tareeq e Madinah k rasty main jahan app ne monkey ka sign daikha wahan per aik basti hai usko bandroon ki basti kaha jata hai.wahan bander sadiyon see abad hain.aur boht cute harkatein karty hain…..loog unko daikhne jaty hain unk liye khana lay kar jaty hain.wo koe aik doo nahin bulk boht sainkroon bander hain wahan…….
yeh info mere abbu ne mujhy di hai kiun k unhoon ne us jagha ko daikha hua hai.mujhy boht shooq tha k main daikhoon.abbu ne wada b kiya tha k dikhaoon ga magar driver ne na jaty huay humari suni na madina see wapisi per.u know better k unk moods kaise hoty hain…
I request k app us place ka pata kar k ussy zaroor visit karin.
Madinah main aurtoon k sath hone wala salook daikh kar dil boht kharab hua.yahan see hum kiya kiya soch kar jaty hain aur wahan itne rush main zehni sakoon milna hi dushwar ho jata hai……….Apki wife ne bilkul sahi kaha.u know wahan sirf aik suf rayaz ul jannah ki di jati hai aurtoon ko.aur namaz k douraan hi wo apko utha k bahir bhaigna suru kar deti hain.halat kuch yoon hoo jati hain k niyat kahin bhandi,sajdah kahin aur aur salam kahin aur……..
Jazak Allah for entertaining me through ur safar namah…..
Aik request agar ho sake tou mujhy duaon main yad kar lein jab wahan jain k Allah mujhy isteqamat fi deen ata kar day aur mujhy Allah us usk Rasool SAW ki sachi mouhabbat Naseeb hoo jaye.
Fi aman Allah

Hi Mubashir,
Many thanks for your email through which you introduced me to your website. I just finished your safarnama and liked it immensely. I liked the personal touch you gave it by comparing various location with those in Pakistan. Your comments about the food of various countires were hilarious. It shows you deep interest in history and geography and sociology.
