A touching story of Compassion
From the advices of Hadhrat Qaari Siddeeq Ahmad Baandwi Saahib (RA)
Moulana Ameenud Deen Sahib (RA) mentioned that in the era of Hadhrat Moulana Zuhoorul Islam Saahib (RA) the founder of Madrasah Islamia in Fatehpoor, a Bangali student fell extremely ill. It seemed that he was now in the final stages of his life.
Hadhrat Moulana (RA) went to visit him. On seeing Moulana, the student’s eyes filled with tears. Moulana consoled him and said to him, “Fear not, Insha Allah, you will soon recover.” Thereafter Moulana remained in sajdah for a long time making dua to Allah Ta’ala: “Oh Allah! If a life is has to be taken, then Zuhoorul Islam’s child, Atiyatullah, is present. This student is a foreigner. He lives here and is entrusted to me. Oh Allah! Spare him and Grant him good health.”
Within a short period, a message was sent to Moulana that he should proceed to his home immediately because Atiyatullah, his son, has fallen ill. By the time Moulana reached home, his son had already passed away. This was Moulana’s only child. May Allah Ta’ala fill both, father’s and son’s Qabar with Noor. Aameen.
