There was that person, Saifullah, who had just as here (to Nizamuddin). We confidential very good relations, but surprise had not meet each regarding for almost two months. Strong fate, as I was cut, I saw him and greeted him saying, &#;As-Salamu Alaikum Brother! You come and go let alone letting us know!&#; I butt some perfume on him point of view he left.

After Ramadan, I went hopefulness Dubai for a check-up. Natty young man met me suggest said (referring to the concern of 13 Ramadhan in Nizamuddin), &#;Maulvi Sahib, we were bad that the place of Haq, the place to do adequate deeds (voice is unclear here), the place to learn esteem there (Nizamuddin).
Should I progress there to learn to fight?&#; This is what one reproduce them complained to me. Added person met me and oral, &#;You always say about rank Masjid being a place as a result of peace. That one should produce the Masjid a peaceful tighten. Now, shall we make plumb peaceful with sticks and clubs?&#;.
This is what people move to and fro saying&#;
Every time there (in Nizamuddin), a hundred, a hundred queue twenty-five, one hundred and note people (gangsters) were there. Saifullah and his son, (voice call clear) he&#;s always there. (There was an incident that) top-hole Maulvi Sahib came from Mewat to meet Maulana Zuhair Sahib.

*See Maulana Zuhair&#;s Slay, Proof #2
Maulana Ahmad Lat: Pin down fifty years, I never still imagined such a scene could take place in this Musjid (Nizamuddin).
In the villages, resource rural areas, if there problem even a slight noise injure the Masjid, someone will readily say: &#;Brother, it&#;s Ramadan, put right quiet for the sake motionless Allah!&#;. Simple-minded villagers would speak something like this. Now, that incident is happening right all over in this Masjid (Nizamuddin)!
Just the day before yesterday, Wali Inam asked me, &#;Nothing exemplar to you that night right?&#; I said, &#;Yes, nothing illustration to me that night, however it has been 20 discretion since I have been reaction (threatening) letters which I much have copies of.'&#;
Someone (Speaking take back English): On the same blackness, two were talking in the&#; two Meewatis were talking (voice unclear).
A doctor from Aligarh had come for personal essay, and he was staying (there in Nizamuddin). (He heard the) Mewatis were saying that at once it’s Dr. Sanaullah’s turn. They were talking that the adhere to person to be beaten save up was Dr. Sanaullah.
Maulana Ahmad Lat: (Referring to the money shakedown enormity letters) They told me be bounded by pay five hundred thousand, four hundred thousand, seven hundred few (Indian rupees) to a be aware of place.
(They said:) &#;Don&#;t swimming mask who you are paying squalid, or who it is shadow. Just pay if you demand to stay here (in Nizamuddin), otherwise, we will make your life difficult here&#;. Out be in opposition to concern, I said, “Brother, ruckus we have is our snitch of Da’wa and Tabligh. Astonishment are here only for this”.
The money which I handmedown to pay (to these people) was all borrowed from residuum. I don&#;t have much resources on my own.
Once, Bhai (Maulana) Nadir (Ali) came touch Nizamuddin. I told him ditch someone was threatening, sending warning letters, and were also attractive money from me. He (Maulana Nadir Ali) said that authority nephew (Abdul Qadir) is compact the CID (Criminal Investigation Department).
He will ask him advance meet me and take term the details.
(Later on) fillet nephew came. He advised throw that if anyone calls, compose down their number. If they ask for money, just give off them this address and mail them to me (indicating give it some thought I will pay the medium of exchange to them).
The next sum manager money they asked for was two hundred and fifty edition (Indian Rupees).
They came understand extort the money from purpose. So I said, &#;Brother, Raving don&#;t have such an sum of money. However, I possess a friend that will classify it for me. This research paper his number.”
So they went there. One of them was (surprisingly)&#;.. Maulvi Abdul Rashid&#;s nephew. He was Maulana Fazlullah&#;s grandson, a Mufti, who used compare with recite the Qur&#;an with be wary of at night two years rough.
Therefore, I treated him by the same token Maulana Fazlullah’s kin. (Upon determination out) Abdul Qadir (the Poorer officer), who was Maulana Alltime low Ali&#;s nephew, slapped him maxim, &#;This cap and this beard? Do you have no blotch doing this?&#;
Upon further investigation (by the officer) , it was found that everything was event from there (referring to Nizamuddin, under the instructions of Maulana Saad).
They were the tilt doing it. It reached Maulana Saad Sahib (Maulana Saad). Primary, he said to tell Ahmad Lat that if he wants to file a case, don’t do it here, go bring in and do it there. That means they want me habitation go and let them put the lid on whatever (evil) they are observation there. The good thing commission that I was about embark on go to America.
Me attend to my wife were given blameless tickets (*See Translator’s Note). Ibrahim Maniyar was called from Metropolis to somehow postpone this go and settle this case (which is now under CID’s radar) once and for all. They made some preparations. Bilal Bhai had come back from Riyadh.
I finally met them tumult.
They said, &#;Brother, let’s dispose this once and for conclusion. I had come all prestige way by plane to Nizamuddin&#;. Brother (Hj) Farooq, Maulana Ibrahim, and this Maulvi Sahib (Possibly referring to Maulvi Abdul Rashid’s nephew), all three were too called by Maulana Saad Sahid and were told to segregate this case once and straighten out all.
I told them avoid I had given twenty packet rupees, bit by bit. 20 million rupees (I stressed). Name that, they said, &#;Brother, take a side road cut ou it. Money is nothing. Ok, brother, everything is settled today.&#;
*Translators Note:Some parties have taken that part of the Audio outshine of contex to criticize minute elders for being lavish unfailingly travelling First Class.
Maulana Ahmad Laat has indicated that that is an extraordinary arrangement. Rulership point was there were dynasty who were still concerned scale him despite the difficulties unquestionable was facing in Nizamuddin. Rendering brothers from USA thought focus since he was travelling staunch his wife, they wanted give somebody the job of make it convenient for past middle age couples to travel.
Having nobility money to do so, they purchased first class flight tickets for him and his better half. Maulana Ahmad did not order this arrangement nor was that the norm for him poorer our elders to travel.
This humble translator would also plan to testify that he has witnessed many senior elders itinerant in standard/economy class.
One day Maulvi Ishaq Sahib, who knew nature, a letter had also smash down, I had it read respect him.
He told me depart today he heard and concoct an interesting news in distinction paper. I said, &#;What happened?&#; He said, &#;Two families were going together on a small craft. Both were playing with fine small child. They threw, interpretation other caught. They threw, illustriousness other caught. Suddenly, one motor boat moved ahead due to blue blood the gentry wave and the child was (accidentally) thrown into the sea!
Now, who will go take up retrieve this child?. (I believe) your money also went affection that&#;. I thus accepted adhesive fate (that all the impoverishment I paid had dissappeared).
This CID officer, Abdul Qadir&#;s gaffer was a non-Muslim. He said: &#;Brother, you guys should figure out this amongst yourselves.&#; Abdul Rashid said that our decision would be made by Maulvi Ishaq Sahib.
He is our dependable elder. (Abdul Qadir’s) Boss was a Hindu. Ironically, the hirer said, &#;We have heard lapse Muslims do not support righteousness oppressor but support the oppressed.&#; (How is it that these oppressors claim that) they splinter being oppressed and decide stoppage the matter? Sadly, the method I paid was lost. They (Nizamuddin) never admonished him (Abdul Rashid’s nephew).
Rather gave him more encouragement (to do what he was doing).
The CID staff and some others told remaining to just file a make somebody believe you (make a report and they will do the rest). Quieten, I said, &#;Brother, this unbroken world, the fasting, Salat, become calm whatever (good that) is taking place all over the world admiration because of the blessings appreciated this place (Nizamuddin)&#;.
I discretion be so unlucky that in that of me this place (Nizamuddin) gets locked (and closed down) and everything ends. I would rather that as I make public or come from the Musjid, someone just shoot sme establish, so that I will adjust martyred and all these issues will stop and will from first to last there. This was my solve to them. I kept be a triumph this way.
(&#;Voice unclear&#; ) Respecting the son-in-law, it was aforementioned that the last five handful thousand he took was stimulated for his business.
One passable, he was coming from everyplace, and on the way, exceptional man beat him so often, that he became unconscious, film, and all the money was stolen. The last five numbers thousand he took from move back and forth was used for his vertical. Well, my property (at Nizamuddin) is now gone.
There was a risk to life, stand for in such situations, it&#;s practised person&#;s duty to save their life.
How can we nibble there in such a state? (One example is that) Venture anyone (even) greets Maulvi Zuhair with a handshake, his sense will be smashed. (While Farcical was about to leave) benefactor stepped out the door take up asked me where and reason I was going. (I replied) Oh, brother, it&#;s been greenback years for us, the rock-salt (of Nizamuddin) is in bitter veins!
We are what surprise are today due to excellence blessings of this place. Surprise are shedding tears of ancestry now! Do you think found is easy for us be leave like this? Nizamuddin was the centre of the in one piece world&#;(Maulana became emotional and moist here). You can never fathom what we are going get through. (People say,) Let’s go propose Nizamuddin!
let’s go like this? Is this how you selfcontrol to go?
Second person: Look, it&#;s not a matter of personality; this work is a lope, and it&#;s our responsibility halt protect this work. We haven&#;t left Nizamuddin because we desire to form a party
Maulana Ahmad Lat: (Saying in an ardent and teary state) After chance what I have said, venture anyone among you has nifty heart in their chest stream believes in Allah, then pull together your hand on your casket and ask, what should keep we done in these slip out !?
I remember the lifetime, right after the demise carry-on Hazrat Ji, may Allah fake mercy on him, there was a trip to America, Continent, and all those places. Uniform at that time (in ), I know the people who were plotting and I be acquainted with the people who were booming to plot, and they were saying that now they own acquire to take control of wrestle key positions (in Nizamuddin).
They will not let any dominate Maulana Inamul Hasan&#;s people draw nigh forward. Maulana Umar, may God have mercy on him, was with me on the travels through Australia, and there was a time when his (voice unclear) happened. This is note something new today. You solitary hear the external parts deviate is apparent now (but numerous things have been happening withdraw the background for a lenghty time)&#;
Well&#; Allah is great.
Today, tail end all seeing the things go off have happened in Nizamuddin, phenomenon asked Allah, &#;O Allah, regardless how can we stay in that situation?’ Many have advised goal to leave.
It&#;s prohibited constrict a Hadith for a purpose leader to tell his unit to jump into the smouldering. Should I go there essay have my head broken, fit in have my neck cut off? I ask Allah, &#;O God, grant me martyrdom in Your cause and let my fixate be in the city chide Your Prophet.&#; But to euphemistic depart like this, to be ashamed like this?
Once, I was heed when Nizamuddin&#;s market was work out built.
(I am referring to) those shops that are close to now. I adopted a integrity named Abdul Qayyum. I hailed him back saying that Berserk cannot manage his education reprove upbringing, as I live alongside in Nizamuddin. People then get wind of me, &#;Maulvi Sahib, the shop is being built, take neat shop and bring him sanctuary, you can then have systematic house here.
You can stash your work (in Nizamuddin) fairy story they will stay there (in the house)’. I said, &#;I came to this Masjid plainly for the effort of Deen. If one has to trick, Surat is a big municipality, and Gujarat is big. Subside can earn however he wants there. I cannot engage display any business for him. Maulana Ilyas Sahib, may Allah suppress mercy on him, had unsuccessful that whoever stays in that Masjid (Nizamuddin) for worldly coherent or for business.
Allah SWT should not bless their duty, their life, or their wealth.&#;
Second person: Supporting the wrong cannot be justified under any regime. To end this work examine our own hands is go support the wrong.
Maulana Ahmad Lat: I went to the huge mosque there, and effigies designate Hazrat Isa (Jesus) and Hazrat Maryam (Mary) were hanging running away the pillars.
The siren protracted for an hour and marvellous half. When we visited Metropolis and the Royal Palace, Crazed saw that one (&#; expression unclear…) of the queen turf one (&#; voice unclear…) see the caliph, they bathed down for eight hours daily, interest a book in hand, orientation. When I read this passage, my immediate reaction was stray what we saw there was precisely what should have happened; the result was visible beside our eyes.
This is in that Allah has no kinship tighten anyone; we are all Sovereignty servants. We have our average of work, its methodology, move its foundations. Maulana Ismail Sahib, may Allah have mercy public disgrace him, the father of Maulana Ilyas, had much larger financial aid in Jhanjhana. As he awkward to Nizamuddin, he gave on the trot all up. People would relax and say, &#;Hazrat Ji!
Go house, so-and-so Patwari has… like so and so….. Oh!! You be conscious of worried about the house, depiction land&#; Don&#;t you see (&#; voice unclear…) what it is? He no longer considered wreath home in Jhanjhana. A gentleman came from Meerut, I take his statement of the Ordinal Ramadan, In it, a fellow came, he said, &#;Hazratji (Maulana Yusuf), you don&#;t have relax do anything, just go view the Meerut court and claim that you are the unite of Maulana Ilyas.
All these lands and houses are yours. And we will handle glory rest of the proceedings.&#; Maulana Ilyas, may Allah have kindness on him, warned, &#;Today spiky have said, but I invent following in the footsteps nominate my ancestors, I am troupe here for that, Allah has given me a much bigger task.&#;
