In his Ta’leemaat, Hadhrat Masihullah always stressed on Khidmat-e-Khalq (service to mankind). One day, as was his normal practice, he went for a walk in the field after Fajr accompanied by a small group of Mureeds. On the way, the group passed by a big truck. The Hindu driver was having starting problems and there was none present to assist him.
Hadhrat immediately realized the problem and without hesitation started to push the truck. The mureeds quickly followed suit and the truck started.
The Hindu truck driver alighted from the truck and tried to offer his thanks by bowing down in front of Hadhrat. But, Hadhrat prevented him by holding his hand, saying: “Only Allah is entitled for bowing”.
Then he commented: “If one person cannot assist another person (i.e. when he has the means and ability of providing assistance), then of what use is his existence on this earth?”
