The day before yesterday I received a letter on behalf of Ubqari, it was written that I read the strange blessings & hidden benefits of “Muhammad Ur Rasool Allah” in ‘Natal Friend of The Jinns’. I am amazed on your knowledge and experience. Mr. Allama, actually my maternal grandfather spent long time with hermits. My maternal grandmother whose age is more than 100 years and she is still alive tells that your grandfather had been disappeared from home for 21 years, after having three children. Actually he became a follower of a Hindu hermit.
HERMIT WHO USED TO SHOW STRANGE WONDERS:
It was the time when Hindustan (India) hadn’t been divided, that hermit used to show strange tricks and was so famous. Princess, Princesses, Kings, Queens and lords used to visit him and used to take advantages of his wonders and tricks. He had such type of wonders that he used to walk on flowing water without getting his feet wet, he used to crush iron by touching as if he had crushed a stone of clay and he used to crush two stones by rubbing them in his palms. If he used to gaze a bird for a while the bird used to fell down and used to start fluttering. If he used to look at animal, the animal used to start fluttering. Many times he said himself to slaughter that animal because the animal could not be survived as its heart had been torn by his eyes.
MY GRANDFATHER’S AFFECTION WITH HERMIT:
Whether those were his eyes or an arrow nobody could guess. Allah had given him excellence and magnificence. People had different views about him. Somebody used to say that he had magic of Somnath. Somebody said that Black Queen was kind to him, somebody said he had spent eleven years in a historic and deep cave etc. When people used to ask him, he didn’t use to reply properly and used to stay quite. As per my grandmother, grandfather had affection with his mysterious things. He started to serve that hermit; he used to live with him day and night to serve him. He used to clean his threshold and used to bring water and cook food for him; even he used to serve his guests. This service continued...
MY GRANDFATHER’S DEPARTURE WITH HERMIT:
Suddenly, one day the hermit said now I am bored of this country and want to move from here now, so let me go. My grandfather was young and hermit was old but his affection was too much with the hermit that he said that he would also go with him wherever the hermit would go. So, my grandfather came home and told my grandmother that he would come back after few days and went with hermit as his disciple and left grandmother and offspring weeping behind. Weeks passed, months passed, years passed but grandfather didn’t come back. My grandmother wept a lot and considered him as dead or murdered or kidnapped because there was no news about him.
ARRIVAL AFTER 21 YEARS:
After 21 years, grandmother’s door was knocked, she asked who was at the door, my grandfather told his name but my grandmother couldn’t believe and didn’t open the door lest a strange man should enter her home. When my grandfather knocked the door loudly some neighbors came and some people recognized him. In this way, the door was opened. Sulking babies had grown up, offspring was young. Offspring didn’t recognize their father but the young wife in the shadows of oldness, recognized him and welcomed him. The husband’s face was like this; his mustaches were long, beard was lengthy, hairs were long and dispersed, dressed like hermits and he had a stick and a bowl in his hands. My grandmother thought that my grandfather had turned to Hindu.
MORE POWERFUL MUSLIM THAN BEFORE:
When my grandfather arrived, there was time of Asar (Mid) Prayer after a while Azan’s (call for prayer) voice came from the Mosque. In those days loud speakers were not available. Moazan used to say Azan loudly. My grandfather turned to have ablution. My grandmother surprised and asked him gently, O father of my son! Are you Muslim? Grandfather surprised and said, “I am many times stronger Muslim than I was at the time when I left you behind. He Offered prayer in the Mosque and after that kept on reciting commendation on string of beads (Tasbih). When night came to its end he got up, had ablution, performed Tahajud Prayer and started to count beads on wooden beads string which used to be in his neck always. He kept on reciting till Fajar prayer and then performed Fajar Prayer.
HOW WILL DOMESTIC SYSTEM RUN?
At that time, grandmother got worried to think that man was not able to earn, how would be the circumstances in future, offspring was young and it was the time for their marriage. The grandmother nourished her children by adopting ordinary professions like; sewing blankets, clothes and waist coats (which were used in those times). One of her sons had a job and was helpful to run the domestic system. After few days, grandmother asked grandfather that it’s the time for the marriages of our sons and you remain busy in your worship day and night, think about this matter. Grandfather replied, “May God bless you! Don’t worry, everything will be fine.” Whenever grandmother used to talk on this matter his reply was the same.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF TWENTY ONE YEARS BY GRANDFATHER:
One day grandmother said, “Neither did I ask you the circumstances of 21 years, nor you told yourself, tell me what happened.” The grandfather sighed and started his story in gentle voice while looking at the sky.
Mr. Allama I am writing you the story in short. The story was;
“I got in love with that hermit. I was surprised by watching the excellences and wonders of that hermit. I had seen many other things but once I got surprised when I took the hermit to my father’s grave. I had been grown up in the hands of my father; he died when he was young. I had full understanding with my father and I remembered his habits, his temperament and voice.
MEETING WITH DEAD FATHER:
I asked him about my father, “Can I meet my father?” Hermit replied by smiling, “It’s not difficult.”He recited something on his beans string and after a while my father said salam (greeted) to me. I was amazed to listen the same accent, same voice (of my father).I asked him.” Father! How are you?” Father replied,” I was not in good condition, because I hadn’t worship a lot. I was lazy in doing good deeds and cleanliness, but your affection with hermit saved me.” I was amazed to listen that it was due to my affection with the hermit.
YOUR THESE WORDS GOT ME FORGIVEN:
I asked my father that how did my affection with hermit save you? He replied, “It was due to the commendation that hermit had asked you to recite, as you kept on reciting the words, I was given peace and when you crossed the count of millions, Allah almighty forgave me. The paradise (Heaven) is in front of me and Allah has blessed me with his bounties. Every time, I have grapes, pomegranate, Honey, beer, sweet water, cold and hot waterfalls.”
I was talking to my father as if he was in front of me, I was feeling his body movement, the voice of his clothes flapping; even I was listening the voice of his breathes. I asked my father that I am feeling your presence but I can’t see you. My father replied by smiling, “Son, I have left the world where I could be seen.” After a while, I said salaam (greeted) to my father. I raised my hand for shaking; I felt the rustling of his hands. As both hands of my father came in my hand, tears came out from my eyes. Those were the tears of the memories of father, tears of separation of father and the tears of that surprising place. I was amazed and stunned. When all this was over, I saw the smiling face of hermit. He asked, “Are you happy?” I replied, “Yes, Very happy....!”
HIDDEN PRAYERS AND FASTS OF HINDU HERMIT:
This event made me the follower, lover and slave of that hermit. I kept on serving him madly. When he left this place (means Nankana Sahb), I also went with him. We travelled street by street and people used to be amazed by seeing the wonders of hermit. Hermit used to offer prayers hidden, he used to keep complete (30) fasts, even he used to keep extra (supererogatory) fasts, he used to perform Tahajud prayer. I used to follow him. He used to take a lot care of neatness and cleanliness. He used to avoid himself from sins and forbidden things and also used to keep me away from these things. Apparently, he was a Hindu hermit but internally he was a great saint, even he was on higher position than saints.
KINGS & LORDS USED TO SERVE & RESPECT US:
I travelled with him for many years, the commendation which he had told me, I used to recite that all the day, used to serve him. By the blessing of that commendation I used to get good food, good accommodation and peaceful sleep. Even I didn’t get a thought about home. Kings used to serve us and lords used to respect us, every man used to serve us.
HERMIT’S EVERLASTING ADVICE:
Hermit advised me only one thing, “Don’t steal anything, don’t save anything, use the thing which is available, we will get tomorrow by the blessing of this commendation which we do.” And the same used to happen, we used to recite and think about the thing and used to get the things by just thinking which perhaps nobody could have.
HERMIT’S LAST TIME, STRANGE SCENE, STRANGE FUNERAL:
By travelling we reached the forests situated at the last corner of Bihar Province (India). There were huge mountains mixed with clay and stones. We stayed there in caves. Many years passed, one morning at the time of Tahajud, hermit said to me, “Son, now it’s my last time, I will pass away after Maghrib prayer today. Listen! Gather the Muslims from near locality, and if you won’t do so people will come themselves. Then you should bury me here, after giving me bath and offering my funeral. Don’t be worried about my coffin, somebody would bring it. Don’t be worried about digging of grave, people will come for it. I was astonished that how would they come? He said, “The commendation which I had taught you, just recite those words, everything would be done. I started weeping and clinched his feet. The hermit didn’t eat or drink anything whole day, just kept on advising me and telling me about that commendation. He spent the remaining time in supererogatory prayers, took bath and cleaned his body.
HERMIT’S LAST ADVICE TO ME:
And he told me one thing that after burying me you would not live here, go back to your homeland (Nankana Sahb). Your offspring is young now; your wife has stopped looking for you in her last age. Don’t be worried about your offspring; this commendation will help you at the every difficult step of life. Save your life from worries.
HERMIT’S LAST PRAYER AND LONG PRAYS:
Baba ji (Hermit) performed Maghrib prayer and he kept on performing supererogatory cycles, after that he prayed for long time. What did he prayed, I don’t know, I just kept on saying amen. After that he hugged me and tears came in his eyes. He continuously kept on reciting Kalama, recited Astaghfar and then he started his personal commendation and left this world leaving me wept and sobbed. I tied his thumbs, straighten his hands. I didn’t have to close his eyes and tie his face as they automatically came to their original and good position. His face turned towards right side itself.
After a while people started to come there, I had started my commendation after his death, I also used to recite that every time, so his grave was dug. He was given bath; there was a crowd of people on his funeral. Some people brought food for me, some brought money and some brought clothes and gave me a beautiful horse. After burying the hermit I sat on his grave and kept on weeping for hours. I also kept on reciting the commendation. When I took my head up there wasn’t anybody but the horse and luggage were there.
HERMIT’S GRAVE AND MY MISERABLE CONDITION AFTER SEPARATION:
I didn’t feel like to leave but it was the order, what could I do? I stood up from the grave gloomy but clinched with his grave and wept. A voice was coming from my heart that obey our order and go to your family but I used to fell down and clinch the grave. This happened many times, but every time that voice used to come saying, “Go, now your other duty is going to be started.” By weeping, sobbing and sighing I took my luggage and rode on the horse and now I have reached home after the travel of many days. Just this was my story of 21 years and I have shortened my story in this short period of time.
COMMENDATION AND INSTANT MARRIAGES OF CHILDREN:
O the slave of Allah, don’t worry; children will be got married. You should also recite these commendations with me day and night and my grandmother also stated to recite those words and the same things happened, after three or four weeks of my grandfather arrival, the resources for marriage were created and all of three children got married in a jiffy in which my mother was also included.
