- White Cemetery
- There used to be an Ishrat Dada in our neighborhood. Everyone, big or small, used to call him Ishrat Dada. He had reached over a hundred, but he still had a lot of strength in his hands and feet.
- Once in a while he mentioned that I remember a very old incident. This incident has reached us heart to heart. I had heard it from my grandfather while my grandfather was also narrated by his elders. Was.
- This incident took place when the East India Company took over the new Odh. The British commissioner appointed in Lucknow was very strict. One of the principles of this method was to get the people to live as soon as possible. Speak, learn to read and write so that you can blend in with the people.
- He also had a young girl with the commissioner. His wife had either died or remained in London. However, the commissioner lived in Lucknow with his daughter.
- One day the daughter expressed to the father that she wanted to learn Indian language .. The father was very happy to know this .. He thought that if "Mary" learned the Indian language well, he would give her a good job. Will set to ...
- The commissioner arranged tuition for the daughter. In those days Persian was the official language of India. The commissioner called Qari Imam Bakhsh, a Persian scholar, to teach his daughter Persian.
- The only condition of Qari Sahib was that there should be a barrier between him and the girl .. Only then he would teach the girl .. Qari Sahib started teaching the girl .. During the tuition, if the time for prayer came, Qari Sahib While praying there or when the girl was memorizing her lesson, Qari Sahib would start reciting instead of sitting in silence. Allah Almighty had given such an effect in Qari Sahib's voice that the heart of the listeners was towards him. Goes stretched.
- Qari Sahib says that one day a girl asked me, Qari Sahib, what do you recite while praying and sitting like this ??
- I said .. I recite Qur'an .. this is our religious book .. but why are you asking ..
- Mary said, "When you read, my heart is drawn to it. I don't understand a single word of it, but my heart does. You keep reading and I keep listening."
- Qari Sahib said, "It is not the charisma of my voice but the effect of the word that goes down to the heart."
- A few days have passed, so one day I was very hesitant to ask Qari Sahib to say one thing if you don't mind .. show me what you read ..
- I said that you did such a thing ... if the commissioner finds out then he will kill me that i am ruining his daughter's religion..this is our religious book .. if he finds out that If you read the Qur'an to me, they will accuse me of seducing their daughter to convert to Islam.
- Marie said that but this matter is not so serious ... I am also reading Fadsi from you ... When there is no defect in learning Persian .. then what is wrong with learning Arabic.
- I said ... your argument is correct but the Qur'an is our holy book. Teaching it and explaining it to you is a matter of religion.
- She became silent. I thought that she had taken the idea out of her heart. But she turned out to be stubborn. Several days later, she said the same thing again.
- He said ... Qari Sahib, I promise you that no one but me and you will know about this and no one will ever get angry with you.
- I explained it a lot .. when I got tired of explaining it in every way .. then I had to surrender ... I said in my heart .. now Allah is the owner. What is approved will happen
- Now she started reading Arabic along with Persian. On the one hand, she was very intelligent. On the other hand, she had passion and passion. So, in a very short time, she started reading fluently.
- A few days later he said another thing to me .. he said .... Qari Sahib ,,, please introduce me to your religion ..
- The ground came out from under my feet. I said, "What are you saying to me?"
- He said .. what I am saying ,,, I am saying very thoughtfully .. from the heart I have become a Muslim a long time ago but now I want to become a Muslim by reciting the word regularly ..
- I said, "You know the end of it." When the commissioner found out, he would feed the eagles by weeding them and the life of ordinary Muslims would become indigestible here. You forgive me. I can't do this.
- When he saw that I was not agreeing, he said, "If you do not do this, I will go to the city's mosque and become a Muslim, and I will tell you that under the guidance of Qari Imam Bakhsh, I Islam is accepted.
- I was very upset ... I said, "For God's sake, don't be so angry, Muslims all over India will be punished by the British. Massacre will start."
- Marie said .. then do it yourself no one will know ... I promise you will never get angry
- ..I had no other choice .. If I had tried to run away from here this girl could have taken a step ..
- .. I said that it is a matter of happiness for me that you are a Muslim at my hands. If you are stubborn, I will recite the word, but I only request you to keep pace with a lot of breath.
- I said, "Rest assured, I will not reveal my being a Muslim to anyone. I will not endanger myself or let you endanger me."
- I said ... take a shower and wear clean clothes before I come tomorrow.
- "All right," he said
