Today's Friday sermon was based on writings and observations of Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) illustrating the blessed life of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace).
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) received an Arabic revelation which is written in Tadhkirah under 9 February 1908. The words of the revelation mean: Do not kill Zainab. (Tadhkirah. P. 995)
Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) writes that in early 1908 Hafiz Ahmad Sahib sought marriage proposals for his two daughter Zainab and Kalsoom. There were a few proposals for Zainab and among those the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) did not like a proposal from a Misri Sahib but as was his way he did not emphasise on the matter too much. It is during these days the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) received the revelation: Do not kill Zainab. Hafiz Sahib understood this revelation to mean that he should get his daughter married to Misri Sahib assuming the revelation had overridden earlier advice of the Promised Messiah. He had his daughter married to Misri Sahib. The revelation is dated 9 February whereas his daughter's nikah took place on 17 February. The date of the nikah was chronicled as it took place with a couple of other nikahs including that of Hazrat Nawab Mubaraka Begum Sahiba. God had clearly forewarned about Zainab's marriage, inferring that there would be trouble, but her father presumed it to mean the opposite. Proof exists that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) advised against this marriage because when Misri Sahib separated from the Jama'at someone said that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had indeed advised against this marriage to him. The narrator said he did not like it when the marriage went ahead and submitted to the Promised Messiah that he was commissioned by God and God commands to listen to those commissioned by him but Hafiz Sahib had not done so. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) replied that this was indeed so, but added that he did not interfere in such matters.
Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) writes that although he had no doubt about this tradition when it came before him but he thought of seeking a concreate proof. The very next day he received a letter in the post in which someone had written that when he was in Qadian he learned the Holy Qur'an from Hafiz Ahmad Sahib who once told him that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had asked him to marry his daughter elsewhere but he misunderstood his revelation and thought his earlier advice was not correct and married his daughter to Misri Sahib. He said Misri Sahib was very harsh with his daughter and he felt it was a consequence of him not abiding by what the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) had said. Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) writes that he remembers Misri Sahib beating up his father-in-law in the middle of town following which Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I (may Allah be pleased with him) was very displeased with him and Hazrat Musleh Maud had pleaded with him to forgive Misri Sahib.
Sheikh Abdul Rahman Misri Sahib is part of history of the Jama'at. He was an educated man who took bai'at in the lifetime of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) and Chaudhry Nasrullah Khan Sahib sponsored him to go to Egypt. It was owing to his trip to Egypt that he was given the title of 'Misri' (Misr being the Arabic name for Egypt). A time came that he highly opposed Hazrat Musleh Maud and said much against him and tried to create discord in the Jama'at. God protected the Jama'at against his ploys and some people were shown dreams exposing his ploys. He had so much respect and standing in the Jama'at that when he left someone wrote to Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) from Africa that Misri Sahib's separation from the Jama'at was highly worrisome because if such important and significant people lost their faith what was to be said of the faith of ordinary people like the letter-writer. Hazrat Musleh Maud wrote back saying it was for God to decide who was important and significant and not for the letter-writer, adding that God had made Misri Sahib lose his way which proved that the letter-writer was important and significant and not Misri Sahib. After his disagreement and leaving the Jama'at Misri Sahib tried to show his importance by associating himself with the revelation but after Hazrat Musleh Maud exposed the reality behind it all, he complained why was his wife dragged into it all.
Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) remarked at the tremendous prophecy 'Do not kill Zainab' and said Misri Sahib himself drew attention to it at the latter stage. He said this was like Arabs cite a story about a man who took out a knife to slaughter a goat but then forgot about it. In their play his children someone push the knife in the dust on the ground. While he looked for the 'lost' knife the goat dragged its feet on the dust and exposed the knife. When someone causes their own ruination Arabs say he has exposed the knife like the goat did. Had he abided by what the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) advised him his faith would not have been wasted. Believers should listen to those sent by God.
Maulawi Muhammad Ahsan Sahib had a hasty nature. Once out for a walk with the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) he misheard the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) when he said there is a difference between word of God and word of man and said this is a revelation of mine compared to revelation of Hariri (an academic). Ahsan Sahib remarked how frivolous it was but as soon as he realised his mistake he instantly said what fine words they were.
Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that a Sikh came to see him and spoke about Hazrat Musleh Maud's elders. He said his father had asked the father of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) about his 'other son' and his father had replied that he spent all his time in the mosque reading the Qur'an. He said he worried about his livelihood and suggested to his acquaintance to talk to his son. He said he wanted his son to get an employment but he refused. When the person spoke to the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) he replied his father worried unnecessarily. He told him to tell his father that he was employed to Whom he wished to and he was not interested to be employed by men. This affected the person who much that he welled up each time he narrated this. Once he sobbed bitterly because he had gone to the graveside of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) and out of devotion wanted to prostrate before it but the Ahmadi attendant stopped him and this aggrieved him as he said it was OK for him to prostrate at the grave in accordance with his religion.
Maulawi Muhammad Hussain Batalwi used to be a friend of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) who said after the Promised Messiah's claim that it was him who had brought him to prominence and he was now going to cause his decline. However, God erased his name and spread the name of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said a son of Maulawi Muhammad Hussain had turned Hindu whom Hazrat Musleh Maud contacted and had him revert to Islam. Maulawi Muhammad Hussain wrote a letter of thanks to Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him).
Hazrat Musleh Maud said that opposition of Jama'at has been going on since the time of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) but the Jama'at continues to advance. The Jama'at has traversed a very thorny path to reach success and this tells us that God's grace has been with it. In order to make this grace everlasting the Jama'at should be ever engaged in prayers.
God blessed Hazrat Maulana Nur ud Din, Khalifatul Masih I (may Allah be pleased with him) with high ranking employment. Later he successfully practiced in his hometown where he had many aficionados. When he came to Qadian to see the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) and decided to return home the Promised Messiah told him that he had seen plenty of the world and should now stay at Qadian. He followed this to the letter and simply did not leave and had his belongings sent over from his hometown. He did not have much prospect of practising in Qadian, but he did not care about this.
Another companion of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) Maulawi Abdul Karim Sahib had an ardent love for the Promised Messiah which only those can appreciate who were around at the time. Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Maulawi Sahib passed away when he was sixteen or seventeen but he had appreciated his ardent love for the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) as a child of twelve or thirteen which left a deep mark on him. He could not forget two aspects of his personality; the way he drank water thanking God and his love for the Promised Messiah. The water of the well of Aqsa Mosque was very popular in those days and he would tell people to fetch him some water and earn spiritual reward. When he was in the company of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) it appeared as if his eyes consumed something from the physique of the Promised Messiah. Maulawi Sahib's entire being would be an image of delight at beholding the Promised Messiah and he enthused over everything he said paying tribute to him. It was the Promised Messiah's (on whom be peace) practice that he held an assembly after Maghrib Prayer. He stopped this routine after the death of Maulawi Sahib and when asked explained that it pained him to see Maulawi Sahib's empty spot.
Once someone made some unfair remarks about Maulawi Abdul Karim Sahib in Qadian and people started beating him up, but the man was quite obstinate and he kept repeating his words. The quarrel grew. Hazrat Musleh Maud says he was a child at the time, and for children this became a spectacle. A non-Ahmadi wrestler used to come to Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I (may Allah be pleased with him) for treatment, he foolishly thought it was meritorious to join the fray and thrashed the man about. But the man continued to say he would say what he wanted to say. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) was most displeased when he came of know of this incidence and said that this was against our teaching. He said people were abusive to us but it did not harm us in any way, so what if the man said a few words!
Another companion of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) Munshi Roora Khan Sahib was also ardently devoted to the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). He was from Kapoorthala. The Promised Messiah highly praised Kapoorthala Ahmadis for their sincerity and said that they showed so much sincerity that they would be with him in Paradise. Once the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) arrived at Kapoorthala unannounced. When he alighted at the train station an intense opponent saw him. Awed by his presence he ran to where Roora Sahib was and told him his Mirza Sahib had come. Hearing this Roora Sahib also rushed towards the station without any head gear on, a requisite for those times. After rushing for some distance he stopped and wondered if this was true at all, if the opponent had jested and if they could be so lucky in Kapoorthala to be graced by the Promised Messiah's presence. He told the man off for telling lies, but then changed his mind again and started walking to the station. He covered the distance stopping and starting off not quite believing his luck until he saw the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) walking towards him. Such was his ardent and passionate love.
After the passing away of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) Roora Sahib came to Qadian and gave a few gold coins to Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) and told him to give them to his blessed mother. He then started sobbing bitterly. At first Hazrat Musleh Maud thought his sobbing was due to missing the Promised Messiah. However, he cried for almost half an hour during which Hazrat Musleh Maud kept asking him what the matter was but due to being overcome by emotion he could not answer! Eventually he explained how since his time of bai'at he scrimped and saved to offer something to the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) and how when he earned more he desired to give more and wished to offer gold. But each time he saved up a good amount he felt restless to see the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) and offered him whatever he had saved and thus never got round to saving enough to offer gold. By the time he have saved enough for the three gold pieces, the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) passed away and thus he spent 30 years longing to offer gold to him could not do so as he passed away!
Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that some Arabic letters can only be pronounced correctly by Arabs. Once an Arab came to an assembly of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) who did Tabligh to him and quoted from the Holy Qur'an pronouncing certain words/letters in a non-Arabic accent. The Arab remarked that the Promised Messiah assumed to be a Prophet, but he did not even know how to pronounce the words how he could present its commentary! Companion of the Promised Messiah raised their hand to hit the man but the Promised Messiah grabbed his hand and stopped him. He explained that these people only have this as their weaponry how could they not use it! The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) also said that honesty and proper arguments should not be expected of them or else there would have been no need for his advent. He said his advent demonstrated that these people had no real arsenal. Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that when the Arabs themselves maintain that no one can pronounce the letters ق and ض like them, then why are they critical when someone 'mispronounces' them?
Huzoor explained that these accounts are both about the letters ق and ض and he was explaining this so that people do not write it to say the accounts they know are about the letter ض causing Huzoor's post to needlessly increase. Huzoor said the team which deals with post already worries about the bulk of the post received!
Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that enemies wrote extremely filthy letters to the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) and reading them made one's blood boil but the Promised Messiah was most patient in response. Hazrat Musleh Maud said these letters arrived in large numbers, perhaps two or three a week, while he received perhaps four or five such letters a year. These letters were foul and full of abuse. Once Hazrat Musleh Maud happened to read some of these letters which made his blood boil. When the Promised Messiah saw him reading the letters he took away the bag carrying the letters and said he should not read them. The Promised Messiah used to keep these letters in bags and these bags would be put away in a wooden chest. He often burnt them but soon more collected. It is about these bags that the Promised Messiah wrote I have bags full of abuse of enemies. These letters did not just contain abuse but had false accusations and wicked allegations. It is foolish to be perturbed by such things, they happen to straighten our righteousness. There is no need to be angry and get carried away. After all a vessel will only brim over with what it contains and only foulness will be evident from the enemy's heart. It is for us to keep our morals and civility in check.
Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that it is written in the newspaper Badr as well as he remembered it well that on one of his visits to Delhi the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) went to the shrines of various saints for prayer. These saints were: Khawaja Baqi Billa Sahib, Hazrat Qutb Sahib, Khawaja Nizam ud Din Sahib Aulia, Shah Wali Ullah Sahib, Hazrat Khawaja Mir Dard Sahib and Naseer ud Din Sahib Chiragh. Although it is not recorded in the diary of the time but what Hazrat Musleh Maud remembered well was that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) prayed: the hearts of people of Delhi have died. We wanted to go to the graves of the deceased saints to pray for them, for their progeny and also for the people of Delhi so that the spirits of these saints would be enthused to pray for their guidance. Hazrat Musleh Maud said the account recorded in the diary is only this much that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) prayed at the shrines of the saints for them, for himself and for a few other matters.
In his book The Narrative of Two Martyrdoms (Tadkiratush Shahadatain) the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) says: 'When I began to write this book, it was my intention to complete it and take it with me to Gurdaspur... But it so happened that I suffered a severe attack of pain in my kidney and I apprehended that my design would remain unfulfilled as the time was running short… God Almighty then directed my attention to prayer. It was three in the early morning and I told my wife that I was going to pray to Allah and she should say 'Amen' after me. In that terrible state and bearing in mind Sahibzada Abdul Latif I began to implore God and supplicated that I had desired to write this booklet in his memory…I was completely cured before six o'clock in the morning and I finished writing half the book that very day.' He wrote this account under the heading: A New Miracle of the late Maulawi Abdul Latif Sahib. It is proven that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) himself prayed many times in this manner.
What is forbidden is to assume about a deceased person that he can give us something. This is wrong and Islam deems it haram. Other than this going to such locations and praying generates tenderness and humility in heart or praying by remembering the promises God made to His Prophets and supplicating to have those promises fulfilled in our persons is a spiritual reality and it is obligatory on true believers to seek such blessed locations to avail of them. For example we can pray to God at the tomb of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) that this is the person with whom was Your promise to revive the faith of Islam. It was Your promise to take his name to the ends of the earth. Enable us to be part of that promise and fulfil our responsibilities for the completion of his mission.
May God enable us to experience the true illustration of Islam for ourselves and also to show it to the world!
Funeral Prayer in absentia was announced for Maulawi Muhammad Yusuf Sahib, dervish of Qadian who passed away on 22 July at the age of 94. Huzoor read out a brief tribute to him.
أَشْھَدُ أَنْ لَّا إِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللّٰہُ وَحْدَہٗ لَا شَرِیکَ لَہٗ وَأَشْھَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُہٗ وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ
أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَأَعُوْذُ بِاللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِیْمِ- بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِیْنَ۔ اَلرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ۔ مٰلِکِ یَوْمِ الدِّیْنِ۔ اِیَّا کَ نَعْبُدُ وَ اِیَّاکَ نَسْتَعِیْنُ۔
اِھْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِیْمَ۔ صِرَاطَ الَّذِیْنَ اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَیْھِمْ غَیْرِالْمَغْضُوْبِ عَلَیْھِمْ وَلَاالضَّآلِّیْنَ۔
At this time, I will narrate some incidents related to the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) and his Companions as stated by Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him).
In 'Tadhkirah,' under the date of February 9, 1908, a revelation is recorded. There are eight revelations of that day. One revelation is: "لَاتَقْتُلُوْا زَیْنَب" (Do not kill Zainab). (Tadhkirah, page 635, Fourth Edition, 2004)
The explanation of this revelation according to certain circumstances has been stated by Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) at one place as follows: "In the beginning of 1908, the marriage proposal of two daughters of the late Hafiz Ahmadullah Khan Sahib was considered, of whom the elder was named Zainab and the younger Kulthum. Regarding Zainab, some other people also had desires. (A proposal had also come for her from Sheikh Abdur Rahman Misri.) The Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) disapproved of her marriage to Misri Sahib (that Zainab should not be married to him). But it was not your habit to insist too much. You did not insist. In those very days, the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) received this revelation: لَاتَقْتُلُوْا زَیْنَب—Do not kill Zainab. The late Hafiz Ahmadullah Sahib disapproved of the other person for some reason and thought that the meaning of this revelation was that the Promised Messiah's (peace be upon him) advice was wrong; the marriage should not take place there but should be with Misri Sahib, and he thought that the revelation had rejected the Promised Messiah's (peace be upon him) opinion. (That is, this revelation لَاتَقْتُلُوْا زَیْنَب meant that the advice of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) was not pleasing to Allah, but rather the other proposal which was contrary to it was approved. In any case, he married his daughter to Misri Sahib.) Accordingly, this revelation came on February 9, 1908, and on February 17, 1908, Sheikh Misri Sahib's nikah with Zainab took place. (Hazrat Musleh Maud writes that) This date was preserved because Misri Sahib's nikah along with two other nikahs took place on the same day as our sister Mubaraka Begum's nikah, which was February 17. As if Allah the Almighty had clearly said: Accept the Promised Messiah's (peace be upon him) word and do not perform the nikah with Misri Sahib, otherwise this nikah will result in making her a hypocrite (or will result in destruction or will be a matter of killing). But the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) perhaps did not understand it regarding this Zainab, and the girl's father drew the opposite conclusion. Whereas Allah the Almighty's intent from this revelation was that a great fitna was going to arise from this person (because later a fitna did arise from Misri Sahib). Do not marry Zainab to him and accept the Promised Messiah's (peace be upon him) word. Then there is evidence that the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) had given this very advice to Hafiz Ahmadullah Sahib. Accordingly, when Misri Sahib separated from the Jama'at, (Hazrat Musleh Maud says that) Peer Manzoor Muhammad Sahib sent me a message that in my presence, the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) had told Hafiz Ahmadullah Sahib that the marriage should not take place with Sheikh Abdur Rahman Sahib. But when Hafiz Sahib did not accept this and married his daughter there, I became very angry. (This was stated by Peer Manzoor Muhammad Sahib) And I came to the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) and said: Huzoor is commissioned by Allah the Almighty, and it is Allah the Almighty's command that when a commissioned one says something, all believers should act upon it, but Hafiz Ahmadullah Sahib has disobeyed Huzoor. Upon this, the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) said: What you have said is correct, but I do not interfere in such matters. (Hazrat Musleh Maud says) When this narration reached me, although I could have no doubt about this narration, since it was a single narration, the concern arose that there should be another witness too. Due to the whole background of his leaving the Jama'at and this fitna, you wanted to obtain solid proof. So anyway, he says) By Allah the Almighty's power, in the next day's mail I received a letter from Munshi Qudratullah Sahib Sanori. In it, he had written that in 1915, when I came to Qadian, at that time I felt the need to learn the Quran from some friend. Accordingly, I started learning the Holy Quran from Hafiz Ahmadullah Sahib. One day, in conversation, he mentioned to me that the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) had told me to give my daughter Zainab's hand in marriage to some other person, but in those very days, this revelation was revealed to you: لَاتَقْتُلُوْا زَیْنَب. From this, I mistakenly understood that this meant the Promised Messiah's (peace be upon him) opinion was not correct, and I gave her in marriage to Sheikh Misri Sahib. But now Sheikh Misri troubles me greatly. (This was said by his father-in-law) And he has started causing me great difficulties, from which I understand that this is the result of not obeying the Promised Messiah's (peace be upon him) command. Accordingly, (Hazrat Musleh Maud says) I also remember that once during the time of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I, Sheikh Misri Sahib beat his father-in-law in the bazaar, upon which Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I became very angry with Misri Sahib, and after many days of pleading, I had him forgiven.
So the meaning of this revelation was: Do not marry Zainab to Sheikh Misri, otherwise his faith will also be ruined. And events proved that his faith was also lost due to this marriage." (Derived from 'Speech Regarding Misri Sahib's Deviation from Khilafat,' Anwar-ul-Uloom, Volume 14, pages 579-581)
Many may not know about Misri Sahib—who he was and what his story is. This is also a part of history, so I will provide a brief explanation. Sheikh Abdur Rahman Misri Sahib took bai'at at the hand of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), as is evident. He was educated. Then he went to Egypt, and the expense of sending him to Egypt was also borne by Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) and Chaudhry Nasrullah Khan Sahib. Going to Egypt, besides being a source of other benefits for him, also became the means of him being called Sheikh Misri. This is why he was called Sheikh Misri. (Derived from 'Speech Regarding Misri Sahib's Deviation from Khilafat,' Anwar-ul-Uloom, Volume 14, page 579)
Anyway, a time came, as I have mentioned before, when he developed differences with Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him), and because of those differences, he began saying a lot against him. He tried to create a situation of fitna in the Jama'at, but where Allah the Almighty protected the Jama'at from fitna on a large scale, He also informed some individuals about his condition through dreams. The status of Misri Sahib in the Jama'at can be gauged from the fact that Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) himself stated that a friend wrote me a letter from Africa saying that I am extremely worried about Misri Sahib's separation from the Jama'at. He writes that when the faith of such great people has been lost, what reality does our faith hold? Hazrat Musleh Maud says: Upon this, I wrote to him that deciding greatness is Allah the Almighty's work, not yours. When Allah the Almighty through His action has separated from the Jama'at those whom you considered great and has kept you in the Jama'at, it is proven that you are great, not them. (Derived from 'Speech Regarding Misri Sahib's Deviation from Khilafat,' Anwar-ul-Uloom, Volume 14, page 564)
Anyway, as long as Misri Sahib was in the Jama'at, he was considered very important, and today we see that he has no standing. During this disagreement or after leaving the Jama'at, Misri Sahib himself mentioned the revelation لَاتَقْتُلُوْا زَیْنَب, wanting to show his importance, that the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) had received this revelation regarding the marriage proposal, and its meaning was that it was about me. But when Hazrat Musleh Maud revealed the reality by connecting this revelation with other revelations, and members of the Jama'at also started explaining, then Misri Sahib himself started saying why is my wife Zainab being dragged into this matter? So this is the reason for explaining this revelation that Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) has stated—how that revelation was fulfilled.
Hazrat Musleh Maud further says: "Now see what a tremendous prophecy this is, to which Misri Sahib himself has drawn attention. It seems that his wife remembered that such a revelation had occurred, and (the wife says that) my father understood it to be about me. This is how his mind turned in that direction, and (Hazrat Musleh Maud says that) this is how his (Misri Sahib's) mind also turned in that direction, and perhaps the work that would have taken us longer to do, they themselves did. (Hazrat Musleh Maud gives an example that its example) is exactly like how the goat brought out the knife. It is said that there was a person who took out a knife to slaughter a goat but then placed it somewhere and forgot. Children playing threw dust over it and it got hidden under the dust. He searched hard for the knife but could not find it. He was standing bewildered when the goat started kicking with its feet, which resulted in the dust being removed and he saw the knife, with which he immediately slaughtered it. So from that time, this proverb became famous in Arabia that when a person prepares the means of his own destruction with his own hands, they say he did exactly as the goat brought out the knife." (Derived from 'Speech Regarding Misri Sahib's Deviation from Khilafat,' Anwar-ul-Uloom, Volume 14, page 581)
Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) also drew this conclusion, and this conclusion is very obvious: that if Hafiz Sahib had accepted the Promised Messiah's (peace be upon him) word and not given his daughter Zainab in marriage to Misri Sahib, his faith would not have been lost. So acting upon the words of the commissioned one is the duty of believers. And one should understand this, and instead of making one's own interpretations, if one acts literally, faith is not lost.
Hazrat Musleh Maud then narrates another incident and says that Maulvi Muhammad Ahsan Sahib had such a temperament that he was very hasty. Once, the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) went for a walk towards Basrawan, and during the walk, he said that there is a great difference between Allah the Almighty's Word and a human's word. You (peace be upon him) recited one of your revelations and said: See, this is also a revelation, and in comparison to it, there is also the writing of Hariri. (He was a writer.) Maulvi Muhammad Ahsan Sahib did not listen carefully to the last part and thought regarding the revelation that this is Hariri's writing. And he said: It is completely absurd. But when the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) said that this is Allah the Almighty's revelation, Maulvi Sahib immediately said: Subhan Allah! What excellent speech it is." (Derived from Al-Fazl, May 30, 1959, page 4, number 127, Volume 48/13)
So when forming an opinion about anything, one should not be hasty.
Then, mentioning that the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) is known today in every corner of the world and in every country, he narrates an incident: A Sikh came to me and said that your paternal uncle Mirza Ghulam Qadir Sahib was very famous and held a high position, but Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib was unknown; no one knew him. That Sikh said that my father once went to Mirza Ghulam Murtaza Sahib. (That is, to the father of the Promised Messiah, peace be upon him.) And said: I have heard you have another son; where is he? He said: He remains in the mosque all day and keeps reading the Quran. I am very worried about him; where will he eat from? Go to him and tell him to also think about the world. I want him to take some employment. But when I arrange some employment for him, he refuses. So my father went (the Sikh's father went) and conveyed the elder Mirza Sahib's words to him. He said (that is, the Promised Messiah, peace be upon him, said): My father is worried for nothing. What do I have to do with worldly employment? Go to them (my father) and tell him that I have become the servant of the One whose servant I was meant to be. I do not need employment from humans. (Hazrat Musleh Maud says that) This statement had such an impact on that Sikh that whenever he mentioned him, tears would flow from his eyes. (Hazrat Musleh Maud says that) Once he came to me in the small mosque and began crying out loudly. I asked: What has happened? He said: Today a great injustice has been done to me. I went to Bahishti Maqbara today. When I was about to prostrate at Mirza Sahib's tomb, an Ahmadi stopped me, even though his religion is different and my religion is different. If Ahmadis do not prostrate at graves, they shouldn't. I am a Sikh; we do prostrate. Then why did that Ahmadi stop me? Upon this, Hazrat Musleh Maud says: In short, you (the Promised Messiah, peace be upon him) were completely secluded, and those who knew you were so impressed by your worship and asceticism that despite being non-Muslims, these people used to come to your tomb even after your demise. (Derived from Al-Fazl, May 30, 1959, page 4, number 127, Volume 48/13)
Hazrat Musleh Maud says that Maulvi Muhammad Hussain Batalvi Sahib was a friend of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him). After your claim, he said: I am the one who raised this person, and now I will bring him down. But Allah the Almighty erased his—that is, Maulvi Muhammad Hussain's—name and spread the name of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) throughout the world. Hazrat Musleh Maud says that Maulvi Sahib, Maulvi Muhammad Hussain Sahib's, one son became an Arya, and Hazrat Musleh Maud says that I called him to Qadian and made him Muslim again. Maulvi Muhammad Hussain Sahib also wrote me a letter of thanks for this.
Then Hazrat Musleh Maud, mentioning the internal and external oppositions during the era of Khilafat-e-Thaniya, said that opposition has continued since the time of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), but the Jama'at is progressing. Even today we see that various conspiracies and oppositions continue, but by the grace of Allah, the Jama'at is progressing. Hazrat Musleh Maud said that the Jama'at has reached its position while passing through thorns, and this shows that Allah the Almighty's grace has always been with the Jama'at. But to make this grace permanent, the Jama'at should always remain engaged in prayers. (Derived from Al-Fazl, May 30, 1959, page 4, number 127, Volume 48/13)
If we continue to fulfill the right of prayers, then God willing, all current and future oppositions will die their own death.
On one occasion, mentioning the unparalleled sacrifice of Hazrat Maulvi Abdul Karim Sahib (may Allah be pleased with him), Hazrat Musleh Maud says that Allah the Almighty had granted Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I (may Allah be pleased with him) a high-level employment. When it ended, you started practice in your hometown. There you had great fame. Your hometown Bhera is in the district of Sargodha, where there are great landlords, and most of them were your great devotees. So there was every possibility of work running there. But you came to Qadian to meet the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him). A few days later, when you intended to return, the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) said: You have seen much of the world; now come and settle here. You acted upon this instruction in such a way that you did not even go back to get your belongings yourself but had them brought through another person. At that time, there was no hope of practice running here; rather, there was no one here with even a penny to give. But you did not care about anything. Still, your fame was such that patients from outside would reach you, and thus some source of income would be created. But the sacrifice of Hazrat Maulvi Abdul Karim Sahib was of such a nature that there was no possibility of any income. There was no hope of any fee from anywhere, no salary, and no stipend. There was no source of income from anywhere. But he worked as the secretary of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him). (Hazrat Musleh Maud says that) At this time, all the work that all the departments (Jama'at institutions) are doing, he alone (did) all of it, although there was no means of livelihood, and this too is about sacrificing one's life in a barren valley." (Derived from Khutbat Mahmood, Volume 2, pages 260-261)
So these are the examples of our elders that we life-devotees should also reflect upon from time to time.
Then, regarding the love that Hazrat Maulvi Abdul Karim Sahib had for him (peace be upon him), Hazrat Musleh Maud says that Maulvi Abdul Karim Sahib had special love for the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), and such love that only those can understand who witnessed that era. Others cannot even imagine it. (Hazrat Musleh Maud says that) He passed away at a time when my age was sixteen or seventeen, and the time when I recognized his love, my age would have been twelve or thirteen. That is, it was childhood, but despite that, such a deep impression is upon me that two things about Maulvi Sahib I can never forget. One is his drinking water, and one is his love for the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him). You were very fond of cold water and would drink it with great relish, and while drinking, there would be such a gulping sound as if Allah the Almighty had gathered and sent all the blessings of Paradise for him. (Derived from Khutbat Mahmood, Volume 14, pages 121-122)
After taking a few sips, he would say Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah. (Derived from Khutbat Mahmood, Volume 24, page 158) (Hazrat Musleh Maud says that) In those days, the water of this Masjid Aqsa's well was very famous. Now I don't know why people don't mention it. Your method was that you would say: Brother, earn some reward and bring water. When the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) himself was present in the gathering, it was different, otherwise you would come and stand waiting on the stairs and take the pitcher from the one bringing water and put it to your mouth. The second thing was that when you would be sitting in the company of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), it seemed as if your eyes were taking something from Huzoor's body and eating it. At that time, a garden of joy and delight seemed to be swaying on your face, and every particle of your face seemed to be throwing waves of happiness. The way you would listen to the Promised Messiah's (peace be upon him) words with a smile and the way you would change sides while expressing appreciation was a sight worth seeing. If I have seen a slight glimpse of this in anyone else, it was the late Hafiz Roshan Ali Sahib. In short, the late Maulvi Abdul Karim Sahib had special love for the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), and the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) also had similar love for you. The Promised Messiah's (peace be upon him) habit was that after Maghrib prayer, he would always sit and talk. But after Maulvi Sahib's death, you stopped doing so. Someone asked: Huzoor, you don't sit now? He said: Seeing Maulvi Abdul Karim Sahib's place empty causes pain. Although who is there who believes more than the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) that Allah the Almighty is Living and gives life again? So this was not one-sided love. (Derived from Khutbat Mahmood, Volume 14, page 122)
You (peace be upon him) had great love for your Companions.
Mentioning an incident, Hazrat Musleh Maud says: I remember that once in Qadian, a person said some inappropriate words about the late Maulvi Abdul Karim Sahib. People started beating him. That person was stubborn. People kept beating him, but he kept saying: I will say the same thing. People would start beating him again, and this quarrel escalated. (Hazrat Musleh Maud says) We were young at that time. It became a spectacle for us. He kept getting beaten and kept saying: I will say the same thing. People beat him until they got tired of beating him. In those days, a non-Ahmadi wrestler had come to Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I for treatment. (Before Khilafat, during the time of the Promised Messiah.) When he heard this commotion, (he thought this was also some act of virtue. He) thought: Why should I be deprived of this virtue? I should also participate. So he also went, and that person did not know what the matter was. He picked him up and spun him like a top and threw him to the ground. But he too was a very stubborn person. After falling, he would still say: I will say the same thing. So Hazrat Musleh Maud says it became a spectacle for us. When the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) learned of this, he became very displeased and said: Is this our teaching? He said: Look, people abuse us, but what harm does it do to us? If he used some inappropriate words about Maulvi Abdul Karim Sahib, what happened? Hazrat Musleh Maud says: What's more, when our maternal grandfather Mir Nasir Nawab Sahib saw this, he went there and told the people: What nonsense are you doing? Why have you started beating this person? But he was just advising the people when that person repeated the same words about Maulvi Abdul Karim Sahib, upon which Mir Sahib himself also slapped him a few times. (Hazrat Musleh Maud says) Sometimes a person also does such things that are absurd. Actually, it takes just a moment for a wave to start flowing. When the wave starts flowing, people automatically turn towards it. (Derived from Al-Fazl, June 5, 1948, page 6, number 127, Volume 2)
But still, we should have the habit of controlling our emotions.
Then, mentioning the love that another Companion of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), Hazrat Munshi Arura Khan Sahib, had for him, Hazrat Musleh Maud says: "Munshi Arura Khan Sahib had love for the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him). He lived in Kapurthala, and the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) would praise the sincerity of the Kapurthala Jama'at so much that you had also written them a document, which they (the Jama'at) have preserved, that this Jama'at has shown such sincerity that they will be with me in Paradise. He would repeatedly request the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) that Huzoor should sometime come to Kapurthala. You had also promised that when there is an opportunity, I will come. Once when there was free time, there was no time to inform, so the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) set out without notice and when he alighted at Kapurthala station, a severe opponent who recognized him saw him. Although he was an opponent, great people have an influence. Munshi Arura Sahib narrates: We were sitting at a shop talking when he came running and said: Your Mirza Sahib has come. Hearing this, my shoes and turban remained there, and I ran barefoot and bareheaded towards the station. But then after going a short distance, the thought came that where is our fortune that the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) would come to our place? The one who informed is an opponent; he must have made fun. It must be a joke. Upon this, I stood and started scolding him. Munshi Sahib says: I started scolding that person, saying: You are lying, making fun. But then the thought came that perhaps he has indeed come, so I ran again. Then the thought came that this cannot be our fortune, and I started cursing him again. He says: Don't speak ill of me; I will come with you. Upon this, I started walking again. In short, I would sometimes run and sometimes stop; I was going in this state when I looked ahead and what do I see—the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) is coming. So this is the love that was about to become madness, and the thought of being his beloved would come, and the heart would say: How can he come to us? When the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) passed away, some time later Munshi Arura Khan Sahib came to Qadian. Once, he sent me a message that he wanted to meet. When I came out to meet him, I saw that in his hands were two or three gold coins, which he gave to me saying: Give them to Amman Jan. I do not remember what he used to say—Amman Jan or Ammi Ji—but anyway, it was certainly a word meaning mother. After that, he started crying and began crying with such intensity, screaming, that his whole body was trembling. Although I thought that the memory of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) was making him cry, he was crying with such lack of control that I understood there was something else involved as well. In short, he kept crying for a long time, fifteen to twenty minutes, rather half an hour. I kept asking what the matter was. He wanted to answer but could not due to emotion. Finally, when his composure was restored, he said: When I took bai'at, my salary was seven rupees, and by tightening my expenses in every way, I would save something so that I could go to Qadian myself and present it in Huzoor's service, and I would cover much of the journey on foot so that I could reach Qadian with minimum expense. Then I got a promotion, and with it, this desire also grew—that is, of giving. Finally, a desire arose in my heart to present gold to Huzoor. From the small salary, besides the chanda, I wanted to present it, but when I would accumulate something little by little, then anxiety would arise that so much time has passed since I saw the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), so before the money could accumulate for gold, I would come to Qadian and present whatever I had to Huzoor. Finally, I had accumulated these three pounds and intended to present them in person when your demise occurred. As if thirty years of his passed in this longing. He also worked hard for it, but by the time he got the ability, the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) had passed away. (Derived from Khutbat Mahmood, Volume 14, pages 178-180)
This was the sincerity, loyalty, and sacrifice of those people.
Some Arabic letters have a special pronunciation that non-Arabs cannot pronounce correctly. Once, an Arab made this objection to the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) during a conversation, that you cannot pronounce correctly. Mentioning this, Hazrat Musleh Maud says that once a person came to the Promised Messiah's (peace be upon him) gathering. You started preaching to him, and in conversation, you said: The Quran says thus. Since in the Punjabi accent, 'ق' (Qaf) cannot be pronounced well, and generally people while saying Quran do not produce the sound of Qaf from the throat like Qaris, but rather it is a sound that is between "Qaf" and "Kaf." You also pronounced the word Quran ordinarily at that time. Upon this, that person said: You go around claiming to be a Prophet. You don't even know how to say the word Quran; what commentary of it are you going to do? As soon as he said this, Hazrat Sahibzada Abdul Latif Shaheed was also sitting in that gathering. He raised his hand to slap him. The Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) immediately caught his hand, and on the other side sat the late Maulvi Abdul Karim Sahib. His other hand was also caught. After this, the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) started preaching to him again. Then the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) said to Sahibzada Sahib: These people have only this weapon; if they don't even use these weapons, then tell me what else can they do? If you expect that they should also speak with arguments and words of truth should come from their mouths, then what was the need for Allah the Almighty to send me? His sending me itself shows (that is, Allah the Almighty's sending me itself shows) that these people have no truth left. These are the lowly weapons they have, and (he said to Sahibzada Sahib that) you want them not to use even these weapons. (Al-Fazl, March 9, 1938, page 7, number 55, Volume 26)
At one place, mention of the pronunciation of "ض" (Daad) is also found, and this too has been stated by Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him), and at another place as well. It is possible that on the same occasion, he commented on the pronunciation of both "ق" and "ض" because at both places the references are almost similar. Hazrat Musleh Maud, while narrating the incident regarding "ض," himself wrote that Arabs say that no one can pronounce "ض" like us. When it is known that no one else can do it, then what is the objection?
Hazrat Musleh Maud says: Among Punjabis, I think I pronounce "ض" closest to correct, but he said that my pronunciation is also not correct. (Derived from Al-Fazl, October 11, 1961, page 3, number 235, Volume 50/15)
So I have given this clarification about both things because incidents of both "ق" and "ض" are found, and "ض" is perhaps more commonly known in the Jama'at. Therefore, people will start writing to me that this was not an incident about "ق" but about "ض." So I have given the clarification because otherwise the mail will increase unnecessarily, and the mail team is already worried that it has increased too much.
Then, mentioning patience, Hazrat Musleh Maud says: What was the state of your patience? You say: I have read such filthy letters from the enemies of Ahmadiyyat addressed to the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) that reading them makes one's blood boil. But the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) had kept them; he would exercise patience. And he says: Then these letters would reach you in such abundance that I think even I do not receive that many. Only four or five such letters come to me in a year, besides those that come without stamps and are returned. But to the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), two or three such letters would certainly arrive every week, and they were so filthy and full of abuse that one is astonished upon seeing them. You say: I happened to start reading those letters once, and I had read only one or two letters when my blood began to boil. The Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) saw and immediately came and took that bag of letters from my hand and said: Don't read them. Several bags of such letters were collected at the Promised Messiah's (peace be upon him) place. There was a wooden box in which you would keep putting all these letters. Several times you also burned these letters, but then many would accumulate again. The Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) wrote in his books about these same bags that I have several bags of enemies' abuses collected with me. Then not only were there abuses in them, but as incidents, there would be mention of false accusations and improper relationships. So it is great foolishness to be alarmed by such things. These things appear to perfect our taqwa. What is there in them to be angry and agitated about? After all, whatever is inside a vessel drips from it. Since there is filth in the enemy's heart, filth appears from him. But we should keep establishing ourselves more and more on virtue and taqwa and keep our morals correct. If the enemy behaves with mockery and ridicule in some gathering, then get up from that gathering and leave. This is Allah's command. (Derived from Al-Fazl, March 9, 1938, page 7, number 55, Volume 26)
At one place, Hazrat Musleh Maud says: Allah the Almighty places blessing in everything related to Prophets for the purpose of showing signs, and it is the duty of people to obtain those blessings. So these blessings cannot be denied. This is a proven fact. It is also confirmed by the practice of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him). It is also published in the newspaper Badr, and I also remember well that once the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) went to Delhi and he went to the graves of various saints to pray. Accordingly, you also prayed at the shrines of Khwaja Baqi Billah Sahib, Hazrat Qutb Sahib, Khwaja Nizamuddin Sahib Auliya, Shah Waliullah Sahib, Hazrat Khwaja Mir Dard Sahib, and Nasiruddin Sahib Chirag. At that time, what you said—as far as I remember, although the diary is not published as such—is that the hearts of the people of Delhi have become dead. We wanted to go to the graves of these deceased saints and pray for them, their offspring, and for the people of Delhi themselves, so that passion may arise in their souls and they may also pray for the guidance of these people. In the diary, only this much is published: that the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) said: We prayed at the graves for them and also prayed for ourselves and also prayed for certain matters. (Badr, November 8, 1905)
Now see, the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) did not pray only for those people. Those who think that when going to a grave, one should only pray for the deceased—this is refuted by this diary, because the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) says: We prayed for them and also prayed for ourselves that Allah the Almighty may grant us success in our purposes, and for several other matters as well. This is the diary of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), which is published in Badr. Similarly, the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) writes in Tadhkirat-ush-Shahadatain: My intention was to complete this book (Tadhkirat-ush-Shahadatain) before going to Gurdaspur for a case and take it with me, but I got severe kidney pain and I thought this work would not be done. At that time, I told my family members, that is, Hazrat Umm-ul-Momineen, that I will pray and you should keep saying Ameen. Accordingly, at that time, keeping the soul of Sahibzada Maulvi Abdul Latif Shaheed before me, I prayed: O Allah, this person sacrificed for You, and I want to write this book for his honor; grant me health by Your grace. Accordingly, you say: "I swear by that Being in Whose hand is my life that it was not yet six o'clock in the morning when I became completely healthy, and on that very day, I wrote nearly half the book." (Tadhkirat-ush-Shahadatain, Ruhani Khazain, Volume 20, pages 74-75)
Now see, the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) was going to a case. You wanted the book to be completed before that, but you became severely ill. Upon this, keeping before you the soul of the late Shaheed, who was one of your servants, you prayed: O Allah, seeing his service and sacrifice, I wanted to write this book. Grant me health by Your grace. And then Allah accepted your prayer. Accordingly, you gave this incident the heading: "A New Miracle of the Late Maulvi Abdul Latif Sahib." It is proven from the method of the righteous and pious that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself prayed in this manner several times. What is forbidden is the belief that the dead will give us something. This is clearly impermissible, and Islam declares it forbidden. As for the part that going to such places creates emotion, or the part that a person, reminding of the promises Allah the Almighty made to His Prophet, prays: O Allah, now fulfill those promises in our existence—this is not only not impermissible but is a spiritual reality, and it is the duty of a believer to benefit from such places of blessing. For example, when we go to the tomb of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) for prayer, we can, addressing Allah the Almighty, say: O Allah, this is the person with whom You had the promise that I will revive Islam through him. Your promise was that I will spread his name to the ends of the earth. So fulfill this. (Derived from Al-Fazl, March 14, 1944, page 7, Volume 32, number 61)
May Allah the Almighty also grant us the ability that, becoming part of Allah the Almighty's promise, we may fulfill our responsibilities in completing his (peace be upon him) mission, and may we be those who show and also witness the true form and dominance of Islam. After the prayer, I will lead a funeral prayer in absentia, which is of Maulvi Muhammad Yusuf Sahib, Dervish (Qadian). He passed away on July 22, 2015, at the age of 94. اِنَّا لِلّٰہِ وَاِنَّا اِلَیْہِ رَاجِعُوْنَ (Surely to Allah we belong and to Him shall we return). He was the only Ahmadi in his family. He had the opportunity to teach the Holy Quran and Hadith at Madrasa Ahmadiyya for a long time. He was a very simple, humble, sincere, and loyal person who served with a sense of responsibility. He belonged to the town of Mokal, Tehsil Chunian, District Lahore, and present District Kasur. He received his childhood education in his own village. After that, in 1939, he had the opportunity to study the basic books of Hadith from an Ahl-e-Hadith institution in Lahore. There he met an Ahmadi through whom he learned about Ahmadiyyat. Later, he kept coming to Qadian several times for the search of truth. He kept studying books. Finally, in 1944, he was blessed with the opportunity to take bai'at at the hand of Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him). Then he came to Qadian to acquire religious education, and in April 1947, he was admitted to the Missionaries' Class. During his studies, the partition of the country and the tragedy of migration from Qadian occurred, but he preferred to remain in Qadian under all circumstances and adopted the life of a Dervish. In 1949, upon Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II's (may Allah be pleased with him) instruction that some from the Missionaries' Class should be selected and given further education to fill the shortage of scholars in Qadian, he was also selected for further education, which was for a period of four years. Upon completion of this education, in May 1955, he was appointed as a teacher in Madrasa Ahmadiyya Qadian. In November 1958, he passed the Maulvi Fazil examination from Punjab University. He continued serving as a teacher in Madrasa Ahmadiyya for a long time. Then he retired after attaining the Senior Shahid grade, but even after that, he continued serving in Madrasa Ahmadiyya for a long time. He was a practicing scholar, regular in fasting and prayer. He loved his students like a father. For years in Madrasa Ahmadiyya, he continued to familiarize students with the science of Hadith. He had deep study of the books of Hadith, and his eloquence was such that the lesson would become ingrained in the students' minds. In the list of Dervishes published in History of Ahmadiyyat, Volume 11, his number is 153. He spent the long period of Dervishi with extreme patience and gratitude despite difficulties. The deceased was a Musi. Among his survivors, he left three daughters, one stepson, and one son. His son, respected Jameel Ahmad Sahib Nasir Advocate, is Legal Advisor and Nazim Assessment of Property of Musian, and his stepson, respected Badruddin Mahtab Sahib, is working as Assistant Manager in Fazl Umar Press. His daughter Ayesha Begum Sahiba is the wife of Dr. Naseer Ahmad Sahib Hafizabadi and is currently serving as Principal of Nusrat Women's College. May Allah the Almighty elevate the deceased's status and grant his offspring the ability to remain steadfast on his virtues.
