A Fearful Episode

The following episode is sufficient as a warning to those who support and promote Kuffar ideologies.

Hazrat Thanwi (Rahmatullahi alaih) narrated the following episode, which he heard from Moulana Muhammad Ya’qub (Rahmatullah alaih):

“It happened prior to the 1875 mutiny (i.e. the Muslims uprising against the British). A wealthy Pathaan resident of the town of Jalaalabad, dist. Muzaffarnagar, had supported the Hindus in the construction of their shrine.

The wealthy Pathaan after sometime became very ill. Molvi Ghulaam Husain Saheb who was a Hakeem in Thanabovan, and also among the Auliya, went to Jalaalabad to attend to another patient. The wealthy man’s relatives called the Hakeem to attend to him. After feeling his pulse, the Hakeem said that there was no longer any hope for the sick man (i.e. the wealthy Pathaan). So saying, he stood up to leave, but the sick man grabbed his hand and implored: ‘For Allah’s sake don’t leave me. Just now two men with a cage of fire appeared in front of me, telling me that they will be taking me away locked in that cage. When you appeared, they moved off saying that they would soon return to take me. If you go they will come.’”

Thereafter the man died. Several people in their dreams were instructed to abstain from all acts of Isaal-e- Thawaab for this man because he had died a Kaafir. Na-uthubillah!

Hazrat Thanwi (Rahmatullahi alaih) added: “The Barkat of the Ahlullah (Auliya) is such that the Angels of Punishment withdrew. Some sins while thought to be insignificant are exceptionally grave in the ultimate end. Participation in the customs and festivals of the kuffaar is of this kind.”
