I recently bought a book I would recommend all youth to read. Its 'Itlas e Futuhaat e Islamiyya' (Atlas of Islamic Conquests). Its in Urdu, and the publisher (Darussalam) says the first of its kind in the language.The first page of the book starts with Iqbal's 'Kabhi aye naujawaan Muslim...'; a thought provoking poem by Allama; but it is a single Urdu sentence at the top of the page above the beautiful poem, that drives the message home in the real sense. Couldn't have been better:
"Those who forget their history, have their borders altered."
Sounds more powerful in Urdu. A truth in any language. Applies to us in every decade of our existence.
Remember, remember.
Dhaka and Kargil. And many more days of night.
