| This was era when Mughal emperor Jahangir was
careering on the footprints of his father Akbar;
to bow forehead in front of emperor and also to
diminish diverse religious identity. Muslim
clerics like Sheikh Abdul Haq Muhaddis Delhvi and
Mujaddid Alf e Sani Sheikh Ahmad Sarhindi were the
great hindrance in the way. Two of them were in
great social and religious power, as numerous land
lords and ministers were their adherents. Jahangir
himself was used to respect mystics immensely
because he was born with the grace of the prayers
of a great mystic Hazrat Sheikh Saleem Chisti.
Once Jahangir came to Lahore but had not found
the opportunity and time grant to stay. In the way
back one of his companions told about the
spiritual Excellence and Merit of Hazrat Mian
Mir's. Jahangir inspired immensely that sent a
special envoy to invite Hazrat Mian Mir. He
requested Mian Mir Sahib Ji to honor him the
hospitality at Delhi and he also expressed regret
on failure to meet him in Lahore. Mian Mir
accepted the invitation. Mian Mir was beware of
the fact why Jahangir inviting him to? What are
grieves and miseries supposed to be eliminated
resulting this meeting?
Mian Mir arrived Amritsar, where clerics took
him handy. A delegate of RAAM & RAHIM concept
came to meet him. Their leader Ahmed Daas Asked
Mian Mir "what opinion do you have about us? We
acknowledge all faiths and respect the founders of
all faiths, doing well and avoiding evil is or
religion and dishearten is regarded as the
greatest sin. Mian Mir replied "in mine due you
are strayed although this is right that
disheartening is the greatest sin but you must
also know that when difficulties become secondary
customs, optionally relinquish them become painful
and forcibly abandon them cause disheartening. To
make disheartening illegal unconditionally may be
turbulent and seditious, and you say that all
religions are similar, but this never resolves
interfaith differences which actually exist. RAAM
& RAHIM one origins sedition as well; in fact,
Raam Chandar Ji was the son of Raja Shrooth, the
husband of Seeta Mai, the father of Lahv and Kush,
but RAHIM (Allah) neither took birth from nor
given birth to anybody else. Irrespective of all
these dangers you have forbidden the way of
success and facility for mankind. The rapture
never disproved the existence of almighty. Truly,
there are various names for Allah but all sects,
ethics and faiths recognize Allah specifically to
worship as the lord. Universal Interfaith harmony
can only be achieved with the concept of Allah.
You never tried to understand ISLAM. A Muhammadan
always is the specimen of grace and loveliness; he
is well wisher of entire universe.
The project you want to execute is even better
been operative under Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj. Me
and my order support entirely to Arjan Dev Ji in
this regard. Discussion was lengthy consequently
delegation silently departed.
Ahmed Daas called on his opinion leaders and
said Jahangir called Mian Mir considering
spiritualist and must take effect of him. I have
talked to Mian Mir; his proofs are heavy that can
be harmful for our objective. If he reached out to
Jahangir we would never survive. Before he should
access emperor we must vanish him, as he will
advance to Amritsar kill him.
Mushki Ghazi brought immediate information of
the meeting to Sai Hazrat Mian Mir Sahib. Before
he could describe anything, Mian Mir Sahib said
Allah had informed me already with their
intention. As soon as Mian Mir made tracks to
Amritsar enemies (four in number) pursued him. In
the noon, tied the stallion at the side of a pool,
had lunch and a midday nap. Enemies aiming golden
opportunity came closer stealthily with naked
swords. When they were only ten feet away, Allah
almighty ceased their sight and they shocked with
an unexpected trouble. Suddenly, they understood,
whose assassination they intended is a beloved
gentleman of Allah. As soon the filthy purpose
made its way out of hearts reinstated their sight.
With reverence they came closer to Mian Mir. He
smiled and said "life and death is with Allah, no
body can bestow life or release it. All of them
repented for ever and went on.
Zuhar prayer, he offered on the pool side and
advanced to Jalandhar. Epidemic of small-pox was
spread out there. To evade it, on a defined date
Muslims with Hindus planned to please KAALI DEVI
in a Mandar. Mian Mir questioned clerics of
Jalandhar "how come the superstition exists in
your presence"? Meaningless responses outraged
him. He announced in that whoever will visit the
Mandar will bear loss. Allah shifted the small-pox
epidemic to KAALI DEVI. In three days, all
sufferers will be cured. Muslims slightly taken
impact of the announcement earlier but after three
days when they observed people healing on,
disbelieve diverted into the trustfulness.
On the defined date Hindus entered the Mandar
and viewed a surprising picture. KAALI DEVI was
pimpled with small-pox on complete stony body,
from which blood and matter fluid providing food
to flies. Superstitious Hindus rushed out in a
flash. In few minutes this news spread out like
fire in jungle. Muslims clamoring "Allah O Akbar"
came on to Mian Mir. He prayed for all and left
Jalandhar to avoid crowd.
Now he arrived at Ludhyana, in a mosque. That
night around 3, when he was active in moderation,
heard noise in the street. An old lady's was
dominantly yelling. Mian Mir came out of mosque
towards the noise. People told him some bandits
robbed dowry of her two daughters, and the wedding
was also planned that week. He asked to meet up
that old lady. He gave consolation to the old lady
and said "don't fatigue, I present you with two
approaches; primarily, I will endow you with so
much wealth that you should be able to make even
better dowry. Secondly, you should obtain stolen
material. Audience surprised with both options.
Old lady replied, I retrieve my stolen dowry would
be blessing. He said I am going in the mosque,
after Fajr prayer you can have dowry and money
retrieved. As he progressed on to mosque some
people joined him. Mian Mir ordered Mushki Ghazi
to bring bandits and the stolen dowry back.
Accompanied people tried to glance at addressee
but failed to identify. After prayer he came out,
seven of them (bandits) were found grounded tied
up with the stolen dowry nearby. Old lady was
pleased to make out dowry retrieved. She examined
it thoroughly and said O angle of grace every
thing is complete. Mian Mir commanded her to offer
prayer of thanks and gave her a bag of gold coins,
a gift to orphan girls.
People started praising him, if one kissing
hands and others holding his skirt. He always kept
away from crowd, departed himself and addressed to
bandits "want to repent or opt for abusive jail".
All said with one voice we regret, Mian Mir looked
their faces closely and set three of them free,
they fell on his feet. He guided them and
permitted departure. Addressed to rest three, who
falsely stated, "you can not deceive Allah with
false statements, you are not willing to transform
character out of here, you life is transparent to
me, two of you are married, one has two daughters
and other has a son. Two of you have committed
murder. I grant you few moments to delve into and
correct your matters. Further three bandits also
apologized and set free. One hard hearted bandit
left, who was failed to conform heart and speech.
Yet he was silenced as if he apologized how come
should he spend colorful life. Mian Mir looked him
minutely, he became insane. He ordered to bring
consciousness back and release him. As he turned
conscious a revolution cropped up, his speech
requesting pardon. Mina Mir said if you seek
business convenience, take these ropes sell them,
purchase other products with them and sell them
off again and again to accumulate funds, principal
amount would remain increasing with profits. In
north Gujarat, his family still exists, called
"Rassi Wala" and this tale yet famously prevailed.
Mian Mir left Ludhyana for Ambala, as number of
visitors increased. He felt religious environment
exceptionally hygienic and Akbar nonsense yet not
influenced Ambala. Mujaddid Alf e Sani's guidance
obstructed false faiths and beliefs. Mian Mir had
productive meetings with mystics and clerics. He
also started fealty from Ambala in Qadri order.
Mian Mir departed for Saharanpur. He perceived
"Chishti" spring flowers blossoming at various
shrines where he was warmly welcomed. Especially,
pleased to meet Molana Rehmatullah Sharanpuri.
Molana was persisted on hang about but Mian Mir
decided to leave. When he departed clerics from
Saharanpur came far out in farewell.
He arrived at Meeratth, where on of Jahangir's
escort welcomed Mian Mir and took him Delhi.
Jahangir showed great reverence and respect. He
prepared victuals and lodgings with royal dignity.
He ruled out all these settings and said "these
facilities and expediencies make bizarre from
Allah, whereas dervish relies on contentment.
After two days of hospitality Jahangir revealed
actual purpose. Mian Mir replied a Muslim ruler
has three basic responsibilities; one, his justice
should not be bias regardless of religion, nation
and ethnicity, secondly, he should not visualize
himself a ruler or superior but a servant to the
nation, thirdly, he must conform his life
prescribed commands and principles of Muhammadan
law and guide & guard community (Muslims
especially) to spend life under this law. Jahangir
has grown pale as listened to him. Further more he
said "the life is a respite and perceive it
blessing and repent on wrong deeds and ask for
mercy to Allah. Wealth, properties, assets, crown,
throne, equipage and servants all would be
perished and expired. Pennilessly, you will move
to the grave and nothing will be beneficial apart
from faith (Islam). This intensive true speaking
in front of an autocrat was a great effort. Mian
Mir hurt his boil badly in which was the sedition
swelling. Anyhow, Jahangir impressed enormously
and expressed that now this world is valueless to
me permit me to resign from the governing affairs
to indulge in commemoration of Allah. Mian Mir
said if crown and throne are taken in trust of
Allah then wealth and properties become valueless
like stick and straws, and this way governing is
not an evil. Carry on your operations and be
remembering setting justice is also worship.
Jahangir asked him demand anything. He said
should whatever demanded be given? Jahangir said
with great confidence and pride, yes, Of course.
Mian Mir said then now please let me go and never
disturb me again. The emperor bade him farewell
with all the honour due to him.
