The brief biography of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi (30 September 1207 – 17 December
1273), which means Our Master, is one of the Islamic world's greatest
poets. He is usually known in the English-speaking world simply
as Rumi. He is a Sufi mystic, philosopher and lover of humanity. His
followers began a school of mysticism to encourage and celebrate his
teachings—the Sufi branch known to many Westerners as the 'Whirling
Dervishes', but whose proper name is the Mevlevi order.
Background and early life.
Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi was born in 1207 in Balkh, Persia in
what is today Afghanistan. His father, Bahāʼ al-Dīn Valad, was a
famous religious teacher and mystic who received a position at the
university in Balkh. When Mongols invaded Persia, Rumi left Persia for
Konya, which was then under the Persian Empire. By the time he made
 40

it to Konya his mother had died, and he was married with one child, a
son.
Rumi had had his early spiritual education under the tutelage of his
father Bahauddin and later under his father’s close friend Sayyid
Burhaneddin of Balkh. Rumi grew both in knowledge and
consciousness of God over the years. Eventually Sayyid Burhaneddin
told Rumi that he was now ready and a mature Sufi and scholar and that
the 'next stage' of his spiritual development would soon occur. And so
Sayyid predicted the coming of Shams of Tabriz, the central event and
love of Rumi’s life.
At the age of 37, Rumi met the spiritual vagabond and holy-man,
Shams. It was his meeting with this dervish on 15 November, 1244 that
completely changed his life. Much has already been written about their
relationship. Prior to this encounter Rumi had been an eminent professor
of religion and a highly attained mystic; after this he became an inspired
poet and a great lover of humanity. Shams’ companionship with Rumi
was brief. Despite the fact that each was a perfect mirror for the other,
Shams disappeared, not once but twice. The first time, Rumi’s son
Sultan Veled searched for him and found him in Damascus.The second
disappearance, however, proved to be final, and it is believed that he
may have been murdered by certain orthodox Muslim theologians, and
other people of Konya who resented his influence over Rumi.
Later life and work
Shams convinced Rumi that at certain moments it was possible to
commune directly with God: Rather than believers simply being
interpreters of the word of God, they could in fact experience his
presence directly.
The effect on Rumi was immediate: abandoning his familial and
scholarly responsibilities he gave all his time to learning as much as
possible from Shams. However, the mystic came and went without
explanation, and vanished permanently in 1248. From then on, Rumi
devoted himself to poetry, and he primarily wrote about the topic of
 41

love. His verses, inspired by Shams—more than 30,000 in all—were

collected in a work that he called Diwan-i Shams-i-Tabriz ('The Divan
of Shams of Tabriz'). Stylistically, Rumi favoured the well
established, ghazal, a traditional Persian meter of up to twelve rhyming
lines; and to a lesser extent, the Rubai quartrain form.
Rumi seems to have been permanently engaged in a search of divine
inspiration and love. He saw and found his 'Muse'[10] in various human
and natural aspects of existence. After the Divan he completed his great
masterpiece or magnum opus, the Mathnavi-i Ma'navi ('The
Mathnavi/Treatise Devoted to the Intrinsic Meaning of All Things'),
which was dictated in its entirety to his student Hissam-ud-din Chelebi
over the course of many years.
Although there had been a substantial Islamic mystical tradition prior to
Rumi, it is fair to comment that his poetry transformed both thinking
and ritual in this regard. For example, the famous centripetal dance of
the dervishes - the sema ritual - is said to have its inspiration in Rumi's
own movements around a pole in his garden as he mourned for his
companion Shams. In time, these actions were adapted into Sufic
practise by Rumi and then handed down to his favoured disciples who
institutionalized them into the activities of the Mevlevi Order that they
founded in their Master's honour.
Rumi died on December 17, 1273 AD and his Urs (Spiritual
anniversary/festival) is held every year on 8th December at
his Turbe (shrine) in Konya.

Later life and death

 43

Tomb shrine of Rumi, Konya

Mewlana had been spontaneously composing ghazals (Persian poems),

and these had been collected in the Divan-i Kabir or Diwan Shams
Tabrizi. Rumi found another companion in Salaḥ ud-Din-e Zarkub, a
goldsmith. After Salah ud-Din's death, Rumi's scribe and favourite
student, Hussam-e Chalabi, assumed the role of Rumi's companion. One
day, the two of them were wandering through the Meram vineyards
outside Konya when Hussam described to Rumi an idea he had had: "If
you were to write a book like the Ilāhīnāma of Sanai or the Mantiq ut-
Tayr of 'Attar, it would become the companion of many troubadours.
They would fill their hearts from your work and compose music to
accompany it." Rumi smiled and took out a piece of paper on which
were written the opening eighteen lines of his Masnavi, beginning with:
Listen to the reed and the tale it tells,
How it sings of separation.
Hussam implored Rumi to write more. Rumi spent the next twelve years
of his life in Anatolia dictating the six volumes of this masterwork,
the Masnavi, to Hussam.
 44

In December 1273, Rumi fell ill; he predicted his own death and
composed the well-known ghazal, which begins with the verse:
How doest thou know what sort of king I have within me as companion?
Do not cast thy glance upon my golden face, for I have iron legs
Rumi died on 17 December 1273 in Konya. His death was mourned by
the diverse community of Konya, with local Christians and Jews joining
the crowd that converged to bid farewell as his body was carried
through the city. Rumi's body was interred beside that of his father, and
a splendid shrine, the Yeşil Türbe (Green Tomb today the Mevlâna
Museum), was erected over his place of burial. His epitaph reads:
When we are dead, seek not our tomb in the earth, but find it in the
hearts of men.
Georgian princess and Seljuq queen Gurju Khatun was a close friend of
Rumi. She was the one who sponsored the construction of his
tomb in Konya. The 13th century Mevlâna Mausoleum, with its
mosque, dance hall, schools and living quarters for dervishes, remains a
destination of pilgrimage to this day, and is probably the most popular
pilgrimage site to be regularly visited by adherents of every major
religion
Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rumi, known to the Western world simply as
Rumi, was a thirteenth century Sufi mystic and a great Persian poet,
whose works have transcended all barriers.
Born in today’s Afghanistan, he spent most of his adult years in
present-day Turkey, at that time known as Rumi and hence the nisba
Rumi. Educated at his father's madrassa, he acquired a thorough
knowledge in Islamic scriptures before being appointed a Molvi at the
age of 25, quickly acquiring a large following in cosmopolitan Konya.
But, he gave all these up when he met his mentor Shams-i (or Shams-e)
Tabrīzī and after his sudden disappearance began to pour out his grief
through poems, writing mystical verses, which had a universal appeal.
These poems, written in Persian, not only made him one of the most
 45

celebrated poets of his era, but also of this modern age. He had also
written numerous letters, out of which 147 have been saved, providing
an insights into his life and personality.

Preface

This is a book called "The Rumi Persian Story Book 9," which is a
very new book and will be published in 2024 in the English and Hindi
language.
This is a small book in which the stories from the book "The Persian
Stories of the Rumi" are added upon its translation from Urdu, and in
this book there are some great achievements of this great sheikh of
mysticism that are not yet known to the general public. These are
published in a very interesting style, so for this reason, the readers will
find great interest and attention in this matter.
In this book, story details from the Urdu book "Hikayat Rumi Part One"
are added by me upon its translation into English. And this is a well-
known and famous book that was written by Moulana Rumi in Persian,
and Mirza Nizam Shah Labib translated this Persian classic book into
Urdu. And I am presenting this book in the presence of the readers in
the English version for the first time.
From the above facts and details, if the readers start reading this book’s
first chapter and do not stop reading till they reach its last chapter, some
interesting events as well as other great miracles and endeavours of this
holy saint are added, and this holy saint passed away from the world
many centuries ago.
Even though this is a small book, due to its importance, it is so great due
to the coverage of many interesting events and positive information in it
that it is like an ocean of knowledge and information about the holy
saint who passed away from the world upon doing his great endeavours
and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation of Islam in
 48

foreign lands. So this book is a small one, but it will present an ocean of
knowledge and information for the guidance of people towards the right
path of Islam.
Writing about these great Sufi saints is not only difficult but also
extremely difficult, because they were not only great pious personalities
of their time in Iran and India but also great Sufi masters throughout the
world who struggled hard for the preaching and propagation of Islamic
ways centuries ago.
Rumi story books in Persian are well-known and famous books written
by Shaik Rumi. It is the enlightenment and wisdom of the treasure. This
book also revealed secrets and hinted at Sufism. And in this case, Shaik
Rumi was taken with the help of the stories.
Mirza Nizam Shah Sahib Labib has done his best translation from the
Persian book into the Urdu book and has given it the title ‘Hikayat
Rumi," part one, and which was published in the year 1939 by
Anjuman-e- Tarraqi Hind Delhi and the episodes from this book are
added by me upon its translation into English language. Shaik Rumi
added on each and every subject, and he was deemed to be completely
successful in this regard. As a result, this book has become an important
part of the Light's book series. We have confirmed our hope that you
will like this book with all your heart and soul and get favour in this
matter.

1: The story of the slave girl and the king

Dear friends, hear this story, which is according to our condition and
circumstances. If we check our condition, then we will be successful in
both worlds in this matter.
In the olden days, there was only one king. And who ruled both the
religion and the kingdom of the world? One day he went along with his
courtiers on his horse for hunting purposes. He was running in the
jungle on his horse, and he had suddenly become the victim of the love
there.
On the way, he has seen one slave girl, and upon seeing her, he has
become her slave with his heart and life. And by paying a high price, he
bought the slave girl from her owner. And he made her queen of the
kingdom.
See that by chance she became ill, and he has called experts and skilled
doctors for the queen's cure from his kingdom and other places, and he
has told them and all doctors that his life was dependent on her. But be
aware that I am also ill as a result of this matter. Unless and until she
becomes healthy, he will remain ill. And if he can find the cause of the
queen's illness and provide peace and comfort to her, he will be given a
huge reward and wealth from the royal treasury in this matter.
The doctors and those who were among boasters told the king, "Oh,
king, we are among us like Jesus of olden times." And there is no illness
for which we do not have medicine with us. We will spare our lives and
have not left any room for complaint to find the cause of the disease and
cure it in this matter."
They, in their pride and self-praising as well, who were like boasters,
did not say that if there was the favour of God, then the matter sure
 53

would be successful. The God before the endeavours of men has

increased their weakness in this matter. So for this reason, as they have
increased their endeavours, the illness has also increased very much. As
such, that queen has become as thin as a thorn. And on the other side,
there were blood rivers from the eyes of the king, who wept and cried in
this matter for the sake of his love and affection for the royal queen and
was an increase in bile due to nature's will after giving medicine like
Sanjatin (Lemoade : (noun) a sweetened beverage of diluted lemon
juice) and dryness was discovered from the oil of almonds. Then there
was an increase in constipation. In short, the properties of the medicine
were changed so that instead of a cure, there was a negative effect in
this matter, and for this reason, instead of comfort, there was increased
pain and trouble for the queen of the kingdom. And gradually, her heart
became weak. And sleepiness and burn in the eyes. And heart beating
was increased very much. As a result, all of the patient's supplies,
medications, and care items became obsolete and wasted. As a result,
the doctors' pride and show, as well as their boasting, turned to regret
and helplessness, with no outcome.
When the king saw the failure of the endeavors of the doctors very well,
one night he went to the mosque with naked feet, fell on the place of the
mosque in prostration, and wept and cried so much that the place of the
mosque was full of his tears in this matter. And after some time, there
was some peace to him, and he started praying in the court of Allah,
"Oh Allah, you give the kingdom to the people, which is your small
thing of power, so for this reason the wish of this lower person who
came in your presence and which has no value or position in this matter
All our hopes and cures from the doctors are dust against your mercy,
Oh, giver of salvation to the whole world!"
"Oh, master of the salvation of the world! We have taken the wrong
path in this matter. We couldn't get help but continued with our feeble
efforts. Oh, solvers of the world, you have announced that you have
known the uneasiness of all people in the world. But such salvation and
 54

reward will be sanctioned, and only one will become a beggar in my

court by spearing their hands for the request.
The king has prayed with such sincerity and humility that in the river of
mercy came passion and action. And there came sleepiness upon the
king. And he has seen one holy person in his dream who has informed
him that, "Oh King, your prayer has been accepted in the court of
Allah." Tomorrow, one of our travellers will come to your place. And
who is the wise doctor? And in his truth, there is no doubt. So you
should follow his every instruction in this matter. You will know the
miracle of his cure."
The king, upon seeing the dream, stood up suddenly. And the veils of
his care were kept away from him. The love of the slave girl made him a
slave, and now he is free from the slavery of love again. And he got the
kingdom again.
When it was daybreak, the king was sitting on the upper floor of a
building, and his eyes were on his way to watch the arrival of a
messenger. He was seen on a holy person like a shadow in the sunlight.
And when he was near him, he found him to have a light personality
from the top of his head to his toes. The king proceeded further to
welcome the guest of honor. And the king met with such guests as sugar
mixed with rose flowers. And like two souls joining like one. There was
such an example of them that one was water and the other was a thirsty
person. And wine drinker, and another was like wine for him, in short.
The king told himself in his heart, "Oh, person of God, you are my real
beloved person, but in the world, the work will be done by other
sources." So the source of the love was the love of the slave girl. Oh
Messenger of Allah, you have a position with me like the Last Prophet
of Allah, and now I am in your service and sincerity like Hazar Umar
Bin Qattab."
In short, the King, by leaving his power and dignity, went before his
guest like a sinecure person or like a beggar in this matter. So he was
 55

kissing his hands at times and his forehead at others. And some time he
will ask him about his native place and journey details. By asking such
details and questions, he was taken to the royal court. With happiness in
his heart, he told him, "I have gotten such wealth from an unthinkable
source after much patience. The taste of patience will be hard, but its
fruits will be sweet, as seen in this matter, so I hope that its result will be
successful."
After providing food to the guest and after some rest time, he was taken
to the seraglio (harem Sara) of the palace. And showed me the slave
girl. And he told him the condition of the patient in this matter. The holy
person sat near the patient. He has watched her face, checked her pulse,
checked her urine test, and asked about illness signs and reasons from
the beginning, and he told her that the prescriptions of the two doctors
were not right in this matter. The holy person was able to determine the
cause of the problem by seeing the condition and appearance of the
patient. But he could not give the king any information in this matter. In
reality, the illness was not the cause of the increase in bile and frenzy.
Every wood will be recognised according to its smoke. Then he was
asked to leave and separate from there, knowing and unknowing all
persons at the patient’s place. The king has been given command of the
loneliness. And he even left from there so that the holy person could get
information from the patient as per his will and requirements in this
matter.
When the palace was empty, the doctor and patient were the only ones
left in the palace.The doctor then started slowly questioning the patient.
Where is her city located? Because there is a different system of healing
in each and every place. And who are your relatives? And with whom
you have much love and affection, and by keeping his hand on the
pulse, he began hearing the harsh and good stories of time. With the
patience of a good doctor, she began telling him her every secret. She
gave details of the cities in which she was sold. And she gave all the
details clearly. The doctor heard the serial story of the slave girl. But he
was paying attention to her pulse beating towards each and every event.
 56

And he was keeping an eye on the discussion of the person and the rise
in her extraordinary beating in this matter.
In short, the slave girl told the names of all her friends and relatives in
each and every city. And after that, she told me about another city.
However, no changes in pulse rate occurred. Questioning made progress
in this way. She told about each and every city, event, house, accident,
and incident in detail. However, there was no noticeable difference in
her pulse rate or changes in her facial impression in this matter.
Then, gradually, there came discussion about Samarqand City. After this
discussion, she has taken a cold breath. And there was a startling fall of
tears from her eyes. She said there is one businessman who has taken
her to this city. And sold it to me for $1,000. The owner is a goldsmith
in this city. And who kept me with him for a period of six months. And
after that, he sold himself to another person. And her heart was on fire
with grief as she told this story. And her pulse beat at a higher level, and
her face colour changed to yellow. When the holy person was able to
know this secret, he was able to explain the prolongation of the illness
of the slave girl in this matter. He has asked in which locality and bazaar
the goldsmith lives in the city of Smaqarand city?.He said he is a
resident of the Gatfer neighbourhood near the bridge.
When the holy person was able to know all about it and get addresses,
he consoled her, saying that now your illness will go away as soon as
possible. And he told her that "as he was able to know the reality of
your illness, if Allah wills, there will be such fastness, like magic, in
your cure, so you will be healthy soon."
Then that holy person left the patient and went to see the king and told
him some illness details about the patient, and he convinced him. The
king asked why there was a delay. And what is the cure in this matter?
He told him the cure in this matter is "to call one goldsmith from
Samarqand, and he should be given reward and prizes in this respect. He
should be sent gold coins and a robe of honor so that, in his greed, he
 57

should come into his presence. And your beloved, by meeting with him,
will become so filled with happiness and joy that she should forget her
illness for this reason. When the goldsmith sees your reward and robe of
honor, he will leave his house and relatives and come to our place and
live with us as soon as possible, without any further delay.
The king has accepted the advice of the holy person with his whole
heart. And he told him that whatever he said, he would act upon it. Then
he was sent two courtiers who were wise, true, and confident. They have
reached Samarqand, and they have given the goldsmith good news.
They told him, "Oh master, there is fame and a name for you all over the
world for making gold ornaments, and our king wants to appoint you as
royal in charge of gold ornament works. So he has sent you gold coins
and a robe of honor in your presence. When you reach the capital, you
will become a special royal courtier of the king in his palace." As a
result, when the goldsmith saw the large wealth of gold coins and the
robe of honor, he became much happier and more joyful. So he has
decided to leave his native place and household members. He began his
journey with much happiness and joy. And he was unaware that the king
had taken the decision to kill him. The goldsmith rode on an Arabic
horse and reached the kingdom of the king very quickly. And he could
not think of his ransom amount as his reward or robe of honour. The
doctor has presented the goldsmith in the presence of the king with
much happiness and joy and with success, and he has said that the
traveller should light the lamp of love.
The king has given the order that, for the sake of the goldsmith, a huge
quantity of gold should be given for making collar bands, anklets, and
waist belts, as well as the decoration jewellery for the horses. All
utensils and showpiece vessels suitable for the royal palace of the king
And the goldsmith has collected gold, and he is engaged in the work of
making ornaments, utensils, and vessels for the order of the king.
The holy person told the king to hand over the slave to the goldsmith so
that by meeting with him, she could find peace and comfort. The king
 58

handed over the slave girl to the goldsmith. So there were so many
meetings between them. And for a period of six months, they lived with
much love and affection in both of them, like one soul in two bodies.
After six months, when the heart of the slave girl was satisfied and
content, the doctor prepared one syrup for the goldsmith, knowing that
by drinking it, he would become weaker day by day and that his
personality and beauty would be damaged several times. And so, for this
reason, the slave girl’s heart was kept away from him. He became a bad-
looking and bad-nosed person as soon as he became a body and a person
of bones. As well as being a very cold and older person.
As soon as there was an illness upon the goldsmith, he began melting
like gold, and he began saying that he was a deer of musk, but the
hunter had taken away all his blood from the navel of the body. And
who began telling me that one who has taken me for killing towards the
point of death should know that my blood will not leave afterward in the
sleeping condition? The difficulty that fell upon me will also fall upon
him afterwards. It is not right to waste a good-looking and beautiful
person’s blood in this matter. And these were the last words spoken by
Goldsmith before his death.
And the slave girl, in this way, was free and kept away from conditions
of pain and grief. As there is a system that says that the love of a person
for a deceased person will not be on a perpetual basis, people will not
come back into the world. The love of a living person, on the other
hand, is like watching flower buds live in the eyes because they are
always fresh and good. So you should love a living person. And who
will live forever? And who will always give you cups of wine? And
love is his option, and through love, all the prophets of Allah were
successful in the world.
This assertion that there is no way to reach the court of the Lord of the
World is incorrect. This is right: even bigger tasks are the work of the
right hand of the heart for some bountiful people.
 59

The killing of the goldsmith by the trick of the holy person is not the
cause of any title or any fear of punishment in this matter. The matter is
that until and unless there is a signal from the side of Allah, the holy
person has not done this work for the willingness and happiness of the
king of the country. As well, even the king did not kill one slave of
Allah for the fulfilment of his sensual desires.
That doctor was also free from sensual desires and wishes. And
whatever he has done was based solely on good deeds. But that good
deed was hidden behind the veil of a bad deed.
If you kill a Muslim based on his or her condition and events, or based
on the condition and events of holy people, the right result is that you
have strayed far from the issue. So you should not hasten in your way of
objection and refusal.
You will see that I would like to tell you one more story in this matter.
So that your fortune will shine. So that you can get good advice in this
matter

2.Thinking of the parrot and one beggar

At one green grocery store, there was one parrot who was perfect at
telling the different kinds of dialects, and that parrot used to watch the
store as well as talk to people in different languages in a fantastic way.
One day, by chance, the owner went to his house, and the parrot was
 60

watching his shop. At that time, one cat ran into the shop to catch the
mouse. So to save his life, the parrot ran to one side, and for this reason,
there was a collision of almond oil bottles in the shop, and oil was
spread on the floor of the whole shop area.
When the owner came back to the shop, he saw a spread of oil
everywhere in the whole shop, and all areas were oily in the shop
premises. The grocer, due to his anger, put one punch on the head of the
parrot, and due to the force of his strike, he became a bald bird for this
reason. And for many days, the parrot has stopped talking in the shop,
and for this reason, the shopkeeper regrets his action in this matter. He
used to begin by touching his beard, saying, "It is very sad that if his
hand was broken before that time, he has struck on the head of the
parrot. So he began giving presents to the holy persons so that he could
pray for the parrot's talk.
Many days passed in this manner, and the grocer sat in his shop, worried
and concerned, and there was anger in his heart about whether the parrot
spoke or not. And at that time, one beggar passed over from there, and
four eyebrows were cleared on his face. And his head was like upside
down on the cup.
And at that time, the parrot immediately responded to the call of the
beggar and told him, "Oh, bald beggar, perhaps you have also fallen
down the oil bottles, and for this reason, you have also become a bald
person. All persons laughed upon hearing the parrot talk, and they said
the parrot was thinking of the beggar as bald like himself in this matter.
Explanation: You should not think the same of Allah's other pure slaves.
Even in the Persian writing of tiger, there is less difference between sher
(tiger) and shir (milk), but in its meaning, there is a difference between
sky and earth.
 61

But it was usually the case that the people did not recognise the pious
and holy persons of Allah, and in this matter, they used to lose the right
path of life.

3. The creation of difference among Christians by a Jewish

minister

There was one Jewish king who was very cruel and an enemy of Jesus
Christ, as well as all Christian people. The king was the killer of the
Christians. Even during the time of Jesus Christ's arrival, he was a lover
and madly in love with the prophet Moses. The unwise king on the way
of God has separated both lovers of the prophet Jesus and the prophet
Moses. He was a Jew who was opposed to the Christian religion, and he
began to think about the religion in the wrong way.
He has selected many Christian people and killed them all with cruelty,
so that the religion of the prophet Moses begins to shine in this matter.
Due to this fear and to save their lives, the Christians began hiding their
religion, even from the angels in this matter.
There was one minister of that king who was also a cruel person of
religion and faith and who, by his fraud, could tie up the water waves on
the surface. And he told that king, "Oh king, as you are engaged in the
work of searching for the hidden Christians for their killing, you will not
be successful in this work because religion is not found like the smell of
musk or oud, so it cannot be found easily without any trouble. So this
method is not good enough to destroy the whole nation. The religion of
Christian people has been hidden under 100 covers in this matter.
But now, by appearance, this nation seems to be your friend. But their
inner selves are different. So the king asked him to tell him any plan so
 62

that the religion of Christianity should not remain and, in a secret way,
the religion of Jesus Christ would not remain in any part of the world.
"Oh, king, cut my ears and hands. And arrange for my hanging in the
presence of Shepherds. At the time of my hanging, send one person
there who will come there with a request for my forgiveness and release
in this matter. If you will forgive me, then throw me into a faraway
jungle. All this act and arrangement should be done at a place where
there will be a large number of shepherds who will witness and carry
news to faraway places in the kingdom so that after the event has
happened, they can spread this news and the details of what happened in
the whole county so that I can create differences in the Christian
community. And it will be like that: I will cry out loud and say, "Oh,
knower of reality, oh God, you know well that I am a Christian person.
But the cruel king was able to learn about my Christian faith, and due to
discrimination, he is following me to kill me in this matter. I have tried
my best to hide my faith by showing myself as a Jew, but if there was
no support from the soul of Jesus Christ, that Jew King would have
killed and crucified me in this matter.
When the Christian community follows my advice, I will create such
problems and difficulties that even Satan will be surprised at my
cleverness. I will deceive them with such reasons and objects, as well as
involve them in such differences and problems that they will become
involved in fighting against each other, and at last, by the shed blood,
they will end the world in this matter.
When the minister told the king his master plan from a to z, the king
was satisfied, and he approved his master plan. Then the king has
disrespected him in front of the crowd in a public place so that the
public may be aware of his condition. Then he was given an order to be
thrashed at the side of the Christian habitation so that he could invite
them and catch all of them in his net of fraud and deceit.
When the Christian people saw his worse condition of pain and
difficulty, for whatever reason, they began weeping over his state of
 63

health. And gradually, thousands of Christians gathered around him.

Then he told them about the innermost realities of the Bible, worship,
and faith. He began to give them sermons about the sayings and actions
of Jesus Christ, and in appearance, he used to give sermons about the
relationship of the Christian faith, but he was using a whistle, which is
used to call and catch birds by hiding near the net by the hunters.
In short, blind practice will be followed by the public. So for this reason,
all of the Christian community loved and followed him very much. And
his love and affection found a firm place in their heart.As a result, they
began to accept him as a monk of the prophet Jesus Christ. And that
infidel minister became the religious leader of the Christian community
for this reason. And started adding the garlic to the sweet. The people of
taste who find in his sermons some kind of sourness because he will use
a hidden method to tell all of them about some matters, such as the
mixing of poison in candied roses. As a result, the people should not
accept the fraud of such pious preaching because there will be 100
needles in its depth. Those who are not persons of knowledge and
fondness who made his sermons the garlands on their heads
As such, after living in a state of separation from the king for a period of
six years, he passed away and became the religious monk of the
Christian community. And all mankind has placed the responsibility of
the work of reforming the world and religion upon him. And the entire
community began to save their lives based on his yes and no on all
matters concerning them. He has also established secret links with the
king of the country for his work on secret operations against the
Christian community.
At last, for the desire of his will, the king has written him one letter, as
follows: "Oh, patron of the Jewish community, there is still time for
your work. Complete my heart's desire, and I am eagerly awaiting your
implementation of the plan with my heart and soul. So you keep me free
of the problems of the Christian community. The minister has replied
 64

that he is breaking and joining in this respect because there will be

problems and difficulties in the religion of the Christians.
In the Christian community, there were 12 great and powerful tribe
leaders who were ruling over their tribes, and nobody was not involved
in the disobedience of the tribe leader in each tribe. And all these 12
tribesmen became slaves of the fraudulent minister of the Jewish king.
And all tribal leaders were used to attesting to his sayings and actions
and began following his sayings and actions. All were ready to sacrifice
their lives at the sign of the minister.
After that, the Jew has arranged to prepare final words of advice and
send them to each and every one of the 12 tribe leaders. And in each
word of advice, he has mentioned methods of worship and knowledge of
religion in different ways, as well as given details in the opposite way.
In some letters, he gives advice for mystical exercise and a hungry habit.
And he has written about the conditions of repentance and religion. And
in some other letter, he has written that there is no need for mystical
exercises, and without generosity, there is no solution to this problem.
He has written in one of the letters that your hunger and thirst are your
generosity, and all other things are infidelity, except trust and resigning
to the will of God, which are all traps of fraud and deceit. In other
words, it is appropriate for men to provide human services. The concept
of trust that only deceives In other places, he has written that these are
orders of command and prohibition in the religion, and they are for us to
act upon. But with it, our humility may be proven in this matter, and we
could not fulfil all of it. In this manner, there will be a need to prevail
upon the Lord of the Almighty's nature and horror upon us.
 In another letter, write that you do not see your meekness. And
seeking your own humility is equivalent to rejecting God's grace.
But I also believe that your power and choice as a child of God are
as real as reality in this matter.
 In some other letters, it is written that nature and grace do not
receive the attention they deserve except from God. Whatever is
 65

there before men is an idol. In another letter, he wrote about

meekness and nature, as well as your thinking about where it will
reach, so ignore all of these for now. People of every religion who
follow their own sensitivities are facing difficulties. In other places,
he has stated that deep consciousness and thinking for the
observation of reality will not be diminished in this matter.
 If you finish observation and revelation, then your lamp of meeting
with God will be diminished at midnight at our hands. In some
letters, he has written to diminish the lamp of meditation and
revelation and not to fear in this matter. And in the other world,
you will find a reward of one lakh to one.
 On the other hand, he has written whatever God has given to you
and which He has made easy for you. So take it with happiness and
joy. And do not put yourself through the examination. He has
written that the entire world is one. And one who looks at God and
people as separate and different is a person with squinty eyes. In
some other letters he has mentioned, there will not be one. Except
for the insane, it will be impossible for another person to imagine
such a thing.
 In short, he has written 12 words of advice that are the opposite of
each other in meaning and were written by the enemy of the
religion of Jesus Christ. But he did not have the colour and
fragrance of the Christian religion. And after this preparation of
advice letters, he stopped giving sermons and advice, and he played
the worst and most disgusting game that went into loneliness, and
he sat there.
 He has sat for Chilla Kashsi (a forty-day period of seclusion for
mystic communion), and there has been a general uneasiness. In
mankind for his sayings, conditions, fondness of his knowledge, as
well as for his look. And for this reason, everyone became mad
about this matter. And all requested him and wept very much, and
he became bent due to the severity of his mystical exercises. And
from inside the room, he has replied that "his soul and life are not
 66

far from his lovers. But there is no system to come out of the room
in this matter. All the leaders of mankind were gathered there to
make a recommendation in this matter. And the disciples began
weeping and crying. He said, "Oh jokers, being true to one’s word
and who accept his sermons by accepting them from their tongue,
so put cork in your apparent ears. And remove veils from your
eyes. This apparent ear is the cork of the innermost ear. And until
and unless the apparent ears do not become deaf, the innermost
ears will not be opened. So inconsistent, unhearing, and un-
understanding, so that you can hear from God's side. If you accept
me, then I will send my last message to all of you. If you have any
doubts about me, then why do you suffer hardships and also cause
me trouble in this matter? I will not come out of this loneliness
because I am engaged in observation and meditation. All of them
said, "Oh, minister, we do not have objections to your order. And
our saying is not for humility, but it is as per the condition that due
to your separation from our eyes, there is a discharge of tears. And
are coming smoke from the depths of our souls in this matter. The
little baby in the lap of his mother or nurse will weep without
knowing whether it is good or bad. And his weeping is not as per
his complaint. The minister, calling from inside the room, said,
"Oh, my disciples, you know that there is an order from the prophet
Jesus Christ that I should be kept away from my disciples and well-
wishers in this matter and sit alone in the direction and facing of
the wall. And should also be separate from my existence. So there
is no permission for me to say more than this in this matter, and I
do not continue with the speech. Oh, friends, now I am dead. And I
have reached the 4th grade sky.So that I cannot burn like dry wood
under the burning sky on the earth, and now my aim is that I should
always be present with the prophet Jesus Christ.
After that, he called every tribe leader in the loneliness and told him that
you are a true follower of the religion of Jesus Christ and my successor.
And all other tribe leaders will be your followers and remain under you.
 67

And this is the order of Jesus Christ. So if there is any leader who will
go against this order, then you can kill him or put him in prison and give
him punishment in this matter. And till I do not die, do not reveal this
secret in this matter.
So he has told each and every tribe leader that you will be my successor
in the religion of God, and all other tribe leaders will be your followers
and remain under you. He was given the order of the caliphate and took
an oath of confidence. And gave each leader his word of advice. And all
of the words of advice were different, not the same as per the alphabet,
as well as contradictory and opposite to each other.
Upon finishing this work the second day, he continued his chilla work
by closing the door of the room and sitting in the chilla. During this
period, he killed himself.
When mankind was able to know his death, there was a kind of day of
destruction as there was weeping, crying, and mourning among the poor
and rich at his grave site.
After one month, when all the disciples were gathered and they
addressed the leaders of the tribes, who would sit on the seat of the
minister as his successor, they caught the edge of his shirt and asked for
our help and intercession.
 At that time, one tribe leader came before the crowd of the
disciples and said that he is the successor of the minister, so he is
the caliph of the prophet Jesus Christ, and he showed his word of
advice, which is proof of his claim. And this succession is his right.
And after that second tribe leader came there, he also claimed his
right to claim and presented one word of advice from the hide of
his underarm. And in this way, 12 groups separated themselves
with swords in their hands. Each and every leader of the tribe,
taking a word of advice and a sword, entered the battle field in a
separate place. And like an intoxicated elephant, he proceeded to
fight against another tribe's leader. Each tribe's people entered the
 68

field battle for the succession war, siding with and supporting their
leader. As a result, a fierce battle between the tribes and other
tribes erupted. And many millions of Christians were killed until
such a heap of corpses were gathered on the battle field.
There were many problems among them, and there were always
disagreements about faith. And they had become enemies among
themselves. Because of this lack of unity, they did not meet again in this
matter or retain any value or power in their religion.
The only tribe that understood the prediction and respected the blessed
name of prophet Ahmed came under the shelter of this name; otherwise,
the orders of the religion of prophet Jesus Christ became crazy, and faith
became a puzzle and fell from the eyes of wise people.

4. The distribution of one dirham (dollar) among four persons

One person has distributed one dinar among four different people from
different cities. And all were unaware of the language of the other
person in this matter. The details of the nationalities of the four persons
are as follows:
1.Arab 2.Armani. 3.Irani 4.Turk.
Come on, the Iranian person said, let us buy grapes and finish this story.
The Arab person told me that he does not eat grapes, so you should
purchase Anab. And a Turk told me to buy Ozum instead of Angur and
Anab. And Armani told them not to purchase angur, anab, or ozum but
to purchase estafil.
But all of us rejected this opinion, too. As all were unaware of their
language, there was fighting among them. And upon exchanges of bad
words, they started punching each other in this matter.
 69

If there were any person who could know the four languages, he would
bring grapes before them, and there would be no difference between
them because all of them were fighting in their languages to demand the
grapes for themselves.
Oh, young man, what are you looking for in terms of the look?
To search the innermost and get the cause of the fault
Leave your name and look for attributes that point to Allah.
The difference in name was there, and peace was in the meaning.

Explanation: The difference about Allah is due to the difference among

castes, and its condition is also the same in this matter. As a result, the
castes use different words, methods, and addressing styles. All people’s
final destinations are the same and equal in this matter; they all have the
requirement of the same personality. And all the people who used to call
all mighty God by different names in this matter

The End.

1: The story of the rabbit’s killing a tiger

By reading this Kulia Daman ancient story and gaining your share of
advice in this matter, and in general, what you studied before is a very
brief story and lacking in details. Now we have the whole story in its
substance in this matter.
In the Green Valley, in the grazing areas, there will always be
encounters with tigers and other animals. The tiger will always be
 72

looking for prey. So for this reason, the Green Valley grazing area
became a place of danger for the animals.
At last, all of the animals thought of one trick and went to see the tiger.
They discussed with him their ration and requested that he not eat more
than it. So that these jungle animals may not be in a too tight position
for them in this matter.
The tiger told them to keep their promise and not deceive him in this
matter. As a result, I will maintain my policy. I have also been duped by
such animals on numerous occasions. I have faced the loss of many
animals like you because of your words and actions. And many snakes
and scorpions who have bit me. There was much disagreement among
the tigers and animals in this matter.
The animals told him, "Oh, our brave leader, when you get your
sustenance at your house, you will be thankful to Allah for this reason.
And do not face hardship and difficulty for more and more. Because no
matter what you try in this matter, you will not get more, which is
written in your fate. So for this reason, holy persons of Allah have given
teachings of trust in Allah in this matter. The tiger told them that
"Allah’s holy persons have always done hard work and suffered much
hardship." This world is a place of search and endeavour. The secret of
Allah's knowledge will be discovered through perseverance and hard
work.
Because the Tigers have given two reasons in this matter, the violent
group has become unanswerable. Fox, rabbit, deer, and vulture have
abandoned the method of violence, and they have told the tiger that they
will not break their pledge with his hands.
On a daily basis, the animal will be sent into the presence of the tiger
with his daily ration. And there is no need for demand in this matter.
Upon making this agreement, all animals have reached the grazing
place. And all were sitting together there and began discussion in this
matter.
 73

Each and every animal told his story and gave advice about their plans.
And each and every one of them wants to kill another by saving his life.
At last, it was decided to follow the draw system, and whoever's name is
found, those animals will go into the presence of the tiger for his food
without any objection or excuse.
All accepted this method for themselves and began going into the
presence of the tiger silently upon finding his name as per the draw
system. When it was turn of the rabbit, he was told about the system; he
said, "Oh Sahab, for how long will this method of cruelty be tolerated
by us?" And, according to the agreement, animals have been sacrificing
their lives for the tiger's food for a long time. The animals told him,
"Oh, our partner, do not blame us, so go fast in the presence of the tiger
so that the tiger may not be angry in this matter."
"Oh, brothers, give me some time so that he can think of some trick in
this matter to be free from the cruelty of the tiger," the rabbit said to the
animals. Allah has given one idea and the power of thought to these
weak animals. So the animals told him, "Oh, clever brother, tell us what
idea you have in your mind." So you are going to challenge the king of
the jungle, the tiger. Tell us clearly, because with the help of wise
consultation with each other, we will find more wisdom. As a result of
one wise issue, many others with wisdom will come to their aid.
The rabbit advised that "it is not a good idea to reveal every secret to
others. And because by continuing the good work, which will become
bad work, it will not be successful, he did not reveal his secret survival
plan to all of the animals, and he kept it with his soul and life. And after
this, he went before the cruel tiger of the jungle.
Due to the delay, the tiger became enraged and began digging in the
ground, and upon seeing him, he began asking whether I had not told
him that the low-class animals used to have very weak agreements. And
which is not successful in this matter. And by their soft and cold
conversation, they have made me lower than donkeys. Let's see how this
 74

kind of animal will deceive me. And the tiger, in anger, was roaring in
the jungle area. And he was saying these enemies had closed down his
eyes by way of his ear. These animals of the low category made me
helpless by way of their deceit, just as they cut his body into pieces with
the wooden sword. So for this reason, and next time I will not fall under
their soft speech and plans to be deceived in this matter, all they
mention is things like Satan's and witches' deception.
By that time, he had seen a rabbit who was coming by and ran very fast
in a bold and fearless manner, which he found revolting. As there is a
system, there will be doubt about sad or confusing walking. And on a
fearless walk, doubt will not be discovered.
When he proceeded further and reached the tiger, he was angry with
him and told him, "Oh, bad animal, I have torn off many bulls and given
puns to other tigers. Where will this half-rabbit go? Who will oppose
my order?" Oh donkey, leave your careless sleep and hear the roar of
the tiger."
The rabbit told him that "if there will be forgiveness in life, then he can
submit one excuse in this matter." The tiger told him, "Oh, foolish
fellow, deception and folly before the kings are not possible, as the
world is before him like a mirror. So, what will you use as an excuse in
this case? You are a cockroach who will make much noise, so it is good
to cut your head. Also, it is not good to hear even the excuse of the
unwise one."
The rabbit told the tiger, "Oh, king of the jungle, you should understand
each and every one of your lowest people in the kingdom. And accept
forgiveness from the person in trouble, which will be dignity and charity
for you in this matter. The tiger told him, "I give mercy on the proper
occasion. And I will give it in honor of whomever will be eligible."
"In the morning, when I was coming into the presence of the king of the
jungle with my friend," the rabbit explained. The animals have advised
me to take one rabbit more in the presence of the king. Your slaves
 75

spotted another tiger on the way. We have told him that we are slaves of
the such-and-such emperor of the jungle. The other tiger told us, "Who
would be the king?" So do not have shame in this matter. You do not
mention another tiger before us. If you mention something about the
honor of another tiger, then I will tear you and your friend as well as
your emperor apart." I told him to give me permission so that I could
inform the king about this news and come back into your presence. He
told me to keep your friend in my custody and go, and there is sacrifice
in our kingdom. We have requested in his presence, but he has not heard
our request, and he has taken my friend and left me there, and my friend
was left with him. And due to his fear, the friend's heart was greatly
affected. In terms of both freshness and weight, my friend is smarter
than me. And not only in his body but also in his ability and beauty, he
has more excellence.
In short, due to another tiger, that way is closed for us. So the problem
upon which it falls has been presented in your court of honor. So, king,
do not have hope of a supply of your ration in this matter. The true
matter will be the effect of the sourness. But I have told you the truth. If
you need your ration on time, then clear the way. Now accompany me
and finish that bold tiger on the way. The tiger said, "Yes, so proceed to
see where that tiger is." If you are true, then you walk before me. So, if
uch a tiger or such a hundred tigers are present, then I will punish them
all. And if you are false, then I will punish you also."
The rabbit went on an expedition like a standard bearer of the army
before the tiger to trap the tiger in the fraud's net of the fraud.He's
already chosen an old, decaying well, and both of them have arrived
there. But in reality, the water in the grass was Rabbit himself in this
matter. Water can remove grass and straw, but it's strange that it can
also remove mountains in this case. The net of the rabbit's deception,
which became a trap in favor of the tiger, The rabbit was made of
strange hearts and kidneys, and he was flown by the king of the jungle.
The tiger was angry with the rabbit. And he was burning in the fire of
revenge and punishment. The brave tiger was ahead of the other tiger in
 76

this encounter. And at that place, the rabbit stopped his foot to proceed
further. And he was putting his feet on the backside. And Tiger
explained, "Because he was going backward, be alert and not move to
the backward side. And move forward." The rabbit told him that "I do
not have the power to proceed further. My feet and hands are expanded
due to fear. And in my soul there is shivering, and my heart is not in the
control position. Do you not notice that my face is a golden yellow
color? And what is the condition of the heart? The tiger told him, "Why
are you hesitating? Oh, fool, you are giving me a trick. Tell me truly
why you are not going further". The rabbit told the king, "Oh, king, the
tiger is living in this well. The well is like a big fort. In which he lives
free of danger and difficulty. He has snatched my friend and gone inside
this well. The tiger said, "Yes, you proceed further and see whether he is
still there, and then he will be defeated by me in the fight." The rabbit
told him, "He is burning in the fire of fear due to the tiger in the well.
And if you can pull it out and put it in your armpit, then I can point him
out in the well. So that, oh brave king, thanks to your help and support, I
can open my eyes. And look in the well; I can only go near the well with
your help in this matter."
The tiger lifted him in his armpit, and the rabbit, under the protection of
the tiger, reached the mouth of the well. When both of them looked
inside the well, the tiger confirmed that there was another tiger in the
well, as well as the rabbit's friend. In reality, the tiger was only seen in
his reflection. And he has seen another tiger while standing inside the
well with a rabbit in his armpit. When he saw his enemy, he left the
rabbit on the earth due to his anger. And he was jumping in the water
well to fight with another tiger. And he was fallen into the pit he dug by
his cruelty for others, in which he himself was fallen.
When the rabbit was seen as a tiger without soul or life in the water and
in the position of drowning in the water, So then the rabbit left the well
in a state of happiness and joy and went towards the grazing areas of the
animals in the jungle area. And he said, "Oh, community people, you
are to be congratulated that the giver of good news came towards you.
 77

Oh, people, be happy that the dog of hell went back to hell, and who
except cruelty did not think any other thing? The sighs of oppressed
people touched him, and he was reduced to pieces in this matter. His
neck was broken, his head was shattered, and his brain was out. By
Allah's grace, the day of difficulty in our lives was over. And he was
destroyed, and from such a strong and powerful enemy, we have
achieved success in this matter.
All animals, by jumping and running, have gathered at a place. And they
have put a rabbit in between them and made prostrations before him.
And told him that "in reality you are an angel, a jinn, or the angel of
death of the tiger. Whatever you are, our lives have been given up for
you. There was such success, which was due to your power of arms
alone. Tell the story of this in detail so that our souls and hearts are
refreshed and fed."
"Oh, my elders, this is only a favor from Allah, and then what is my
capacity?" said the rabbit. Allah has given me light for my courage and
wisdom. And with the light of wisdom, power came to my hands and
feet. Oh, dear people, this is only Allah's favor. So graciously give
thanks in the court of Allah with soul and heart. And pray, "Oh, king of
kings, we have killed our apparent enemy. But our worst enemy is still
found inside our bodies, so killing it with wisdom and trickery is not
possible. This is not possible with the rabbit's power.
Explanation: Our soul is hell, and hell is such a fire place that upon
drinking of the seven seas, one will remain still thirsty, and the fire will
be in an ignited position always, and there will be no less at any time.

2. The story of Hud Hud (Hoopoe)

 78

When the drum of the kingdom of King Sulaiman was beaten, all birds
appeared in the court of honor of King Sulaiman. When they found him
confident of their secrets as well, they found him knowing their tongue
as well. So for this reason, all birds were present in his higher court of
the majestic with their body and soul in meekness and humility, as well
as in sincerity. All the birds left their dialects and were able to speak
human language in the court of King Sulaiman. And in the company of
King Sulaiman, the birds began speaking the tongue of the human
beings in a more eloquent way than the human beings in this matter.
All the birds were explaining their knowledge and wisdom. And this
was not due to boasting or self-praise but rather to the nature of their
creation. So that it will be helpful for King Sulaiman in the spread of
guidance and education among mankind. When it was Hud Hud's
(hoopoe's) turn, he said to the king, "Oh, king, I will have one lowest
skill that is lower than all others, which I will tell you in brief because
the matter in brief will be good." King Sulaiman told him, "Which skill
is that?" And Hud told him, "When he is in the high heights of the sky,
then he can see if there is water hidden there, with such details as where
it is and its depth. And what is its colour? Whether it is coming from the
earth or coming through the stone, Oh King Sulaim, keep me with you
as I am a knower of such knowledge and skill; keep me with your army.
King Sulaiman told him, "Yes, you can live with the army in dangerous
desert areas as well as barren places. You live with us and guide us in
this matter. So that you can search for water for us."
Crow was envious of Hud Hud's appointment to the army as a water
searcher when he heard about it. And he told King Sulaiman that Hud
Hud had spoken to him completely falsely. And he has used deception,
which is against the etiquette of making false claims at the king's court.
And for which its completion is not possible. If this is his vision, which
 79

will be razor-sharp, how can he miss the trap hidden in the handful of
soil? So why was he caught in the net and imprisoned in the cage?
The King Sulaiman has asked him, "Oh Hud Hud, is it the right claim
that you made before me.? Or whether it is a false one". "For the sake
of Allah, oh great king, this false report has been submitted by the
enemy, and who is involved against this poor fakir?" Hud Hud said If
my claim is proven to be wrong, then my head is presented in your court
of justice. You could still cut my head at that time. Death and arrest are
there by the order of Allah. And there is no cure for me in this matter. If
there is a will of Allah, with the help of the light of my wisdom, then I
can see traps and nets by flying easily. When there is an order from
Allah, then my wisdom will also sleep. And the moon became, by the
order of Allah, black in the sky. And the sun will pass in the condition
of the eclipse, and I do not have such power in my eyesight and wisdom
to face and go against the order of Allah in this matter.
3. The arrival of the Roman ambassador in the presence of
Hazrat Umar Bin Qattab

King Kaiser’s Roman ambassador, upon covering the long distance of

deseret areas, has reached Madina to meet Hazrat Umar bin Qattab. And
he has asked where the palace of Hazrat Umar Bin Qattab is so that I
can send my tent and luggage there.
The people have told him that there is no place for him. His bright
palace is his heart. There is well-known knowledge of his rule and
power in the whole world. But he will live in the hut of grass and straw
as a Darwesh person. Oh, brother, how you can see his palace as though
there are hairs in your eyes. First, remove hair from your eyes and heart.
Then you may wish to live in Hazrat Umar Bin Qattab's place. When the
ambassador heard this conversation, his fondness increased very much.
He has begun to search for the second caliph of the prophet of Allah,
Hazrat Umar Bin Qattab, on all sides by leaving his tent and luggage
 80

unprotected. It is rightly said that if there is the right search, then we can
find the required thing or person in this matter. One wife told him, "See,
Hazrat Umar is there under that tree. By leaving all mankind in the
shadow of Allah, he was sleeping under such a tree. The ambassador
went to that side. And from afar, he was surprised and stood there, and
upon seeing his hands and feet, he began shivering with fear. Even
Hazrat bin Qattab was still sleeping there, but the condition of horror
was prevailed upon by the foreign attaché of the Roman Empire. But
with this, there prevailed one kind of love in his soul, despite the fact
that love and horror are diametrically opposed. But these two opposing
things were found in the heart.
He began by saying that he had seen the dignity and power of many
kings. And I have obtained respect and honor from many courts of
kings. But there was no greater horror upon him than this man's, which
was greatly influenced. I have gone into the jungle areas where the
tigers live and have never been afraid in this matter. I have turned down
the rows of armies in big battles. I have suffered many big injuries on
the battlefield. And caused injuries to many army personnel. My heart
remained strong against all of us. But about this man, who is sleeping on
the earth without weapons and, by seeing each and every piece of his
body fleshing, is shivering, This is not the terror of the rag-doll beggar.
It is the horror of reality, not of humanity.
When he was talking about this matter in his heart, Hazrat Umar Bin
Qattab woke up from his sleep. And the ambassador proceeded before
him and said salam to him. And he has replied with his salam and asked
him to come before him. And by giving him satisfaction, he asked him
to sit near him. And he was habituated to his deserted heart. And he has
explained to him many matters of the knowledge of Allah. And like that,
a student who would be fond of knowledge got the perfect teacher.
The attaché inquired, "Oh, our ruler, the Muslim person, how many light
souls have passed from the higher world to the lower world?" And how
the 'bird from the unlimited world' was imprisoned in the metal cage
 81

"There is such taste and incitement in Allah's order that they ran towards
non-existence without counting in the condition of existence and
ecstasy," Hazrat told Hazrat Umar.
The attaché heard these points, then there was new light created in his
heart, and he asked what the benefit and wisdom were that the light soul
was imprisoned in the hard soil and, like clear water, was absorbed in
the mud, and the remaining part of the soul was imprisoned in the
mortal body, which is the same or similar matter.
Hazrat Umar told him, "Oh, dear, you want in every matter to be
attached to the meaning in it."
Imprisoning the free and light is equivalent to imprisoning the sounds of
the air.
You did this work for one reason: But this benefit could not see your
aim in the matter.
When we see our benefit in this act, it is that personality who created all
the benefits, so it is possible that he has kept many of these benefits in
his act.
Now there is no benefit to our conversation. So, close your tongue, and
if you want the real benefits, then leave your objection and offer thanks
to Allah in this matter.

4.A message from an imprisoned parrot to the parrots of India

A merchant has one beautiful parrot with him, which is a very beautiful
one. One time the traveller was planning to go to India, and at the time
of departure, he was asked by each and every servant about the details
of bringing a gift item to them. So each and every one told him the
 82

details of this matter. And the merchant promised to bring the requested
gift item to them.
He told him with the parrot that he was visiting the country of India for
some work, so tell me about your gift item to be brought to you from
there. The parrot told him, "When you see Indian parrots, tell them
about the conditions as follows: That such and such parrot of your
community has a desire to meet you all, and due to the movement of the
skies, the parrot is in our prison, and he has conveyed salam to you. And
he has requested advice on how to resolve such a problem in this
meeting, and I told them that it is possible that he will die in the
fondness of your desire for your meeting. And he will die in the worry
of your separation. There is some justification for his severe
confinement. And you are on the green grass, and some time on the
trees; you are busy and engaged in a happy and jolly condition. There
will be rules of friendship because I am in prison and you are all visiting
freely in the gardens of fragrance.
The merchant has promised the parrot that he will pass on his message
to his friends in India. When he reached the limits of India, he saw some
parrots there, so he stopped his horse and called the parrots, and he was
given the message of my parrots to them. And one of them, a parrot,
started shivering and fell to the ground. And his respiratory system was
badly affected.
The owner of the parrot was worried and embarrassed by the message
from his parrot him.He began thinking in his mind that he had taken the
life of the bird unnecessarily in this matter. Perhaps this parrot is related
to the bird. And I have killed the bird by telegraphing my conversation
out of time. In short, once the merchant's business was completed, he
returned to his home country. And he gave presents and gift items to
each of his servants and his maid girls. Then, at that time, the parrot
asked him
 83

"Whether he has filled his desire or not and what he has said and what
he has seen there and told in this matter
The merchant told me that "his heart is not allowing him to say anything
in this matter. I am ashmed in this matter and began chewing his hand as
well as biting his finger. And he used to say, "Why do you take useless
messages without understanding or by mistake? The parrot told him,
"Oh, my owner, what is shameful in this matter?" and what is worrying
and what caused such anger and grief in this matter?"
He told him, "I have met a group of this category of parrots in India, and
I have told your story to them. And one parrot among them may have
known you, and by hearing your story, his liver was broken, and he fell
to the earth, shivering and dying. I was shocked to learn that this is why
I have given my message to all the parrots in India. When the fact was
spoken, then what is shameful in this matter? When the parrot of the
merchant heard the story of the parrot in India, he began shivering and
fell down, and the parrot died instantly there.
When the owner discovered the parrot in this state, he was standing with
his cap off and his head down on the ground, and due to his sadness and
grief, he tore off the edge of his shirt. In a loud, murmuring voice, he
began saying, "Oh, my dear parrot, what happened to you?" And why it
happened to you. And what is the reason that it happened to you? And
you were such and such. When he was weeping and his mourning was
over, he threw his lovebird parrot out of the cage.
The parrot immediately flew from the ground to the roof of the building.
The parrot was flowing like the sun in an eastern direction. And the
owner of the bird was surprised upon seeing the parrot's action. He saw
the parrot in the garbage by flying to a higher altitude and sitting on the
edge of a building, and he asked, keeping his head up, "Oh, my bird,
give some portion of your condition to me. What Indian parrot has sent
you a message in the code in this matter? And for which you have
expressed understanding. And by your veil of deceit, which you put
 84

over our eyes. And by your actions, you have burned us and made
yourself bright. And the bird told him that by his action, he was advising
me to leave song, sound, and a good condition of heart because you
have been imprisoned due to your voice. And for the sake of advice, he
has made himself dead. Oh, bird, with which you delight general and
special persons, when you will become dead, then in this way you will
be free from imprisonment. Then the parrot said salam and said bye-
bye. Oh, my owner, God bless you. You have done me a good favor by
taking me out of the darkness of the prison. The merchant told the bird
to go under the protection of Allah. By leaving here, you have shown
me a new way to approach this matter.
5. An elderly person playing the harp in the cemetery

You have learned that during the rule period of Hazrat Umar Bin
Qattab, there was a player on a harp who was very famous and well
known in the playing of the harp. Even the nightingale will be greatly
affected by his music and his playing on a harp. 100 melodious voices
will be created by him from his band (of outdoor music players).
When he sings, the people who hear his songs will be greatly
influenced. And due to his sad voice, there will be such an event as the
day of the judgement. In this way, a long period of time passed.
And that person had grown old, and the melody in his sweet voice had
faded. And in his voice there was the sound of mosquitoes, and his back
was bent like the bottom of the vessel. And like the tail of the horse, the
size of his eyelashes was increased, and his melodious voice was
changed out of tune and worse, unable to be heard by the people. And
the sad song of the effective voice, for which the planet Venus was
jealous, has now been changed like the old donkey’s voice.
 85

So for the above reasons, there were no more of his lovers for his songs.
And gradually, he became poor and needy, and even he became
desperate for clothes and bread due to his poor condition.
In such a condition, one day he submitted his praise to the court of
Allah, and he said, "Oh Allah, you have done many favors to this mean
fellow. And even you have given him a longer period of life. And you
have given me time to correct my habits and manners. I have committed
sins for a period of 70 years. But any day you did not take back your
kind favor from my side, But today I do not have anything with me from
earning or from passing on my livelihood. I am your guest today, as I
belong to you. So for this reason, I play the harp in your presence. And
holding the harp in his hand in search of Allah, he went to the cemetery
of Madina. Today I need a reward from you only. And if he gives me
spurious coins, then I will accept them. He was very attentive to his
heart when he played the harp. And by weeping, he was sitting on one
of the graves, and in such a condition, he was sleeping there. So he was
freed from the worries of the world and the difficulties of his body. And
in the unlimited world, his soul is wandering in the desert.
At that time, Hazrat Umar Bin Qattab had prevailed over the power of
sleep. And he was surprised in this matter; there was no such habit of
his sleeping at that time. And this event is unseen, so there must be a
secret in it. He put his head on the pillow, and he was asleep. And in the
dream, there came a command from Allah, which was heard by his soul,
in which it was told, "Oh Umar, fulfil the need of one of our slaves."
And to him, give his reward. There is our special and respectable slave
person. So to have difficulty, go to the cemetery and take an amount of
700 dinars from the public treasury and give this amount to him and say,
"Oh, our slave, take this amount now and spend it, and when the amount
is over, then you come to this place again."
Due to the horror of the voice, Hazrat Umar Bin Qattab woke up from
the dream, and he stood to fulfil Allah's command. And he immediately
went towards the cemetery. And he was carrying his wallet in his
 86

armpit. And he went there and made many trips around the cemetery,
but he could not find anyone other than that old person near the grave.
On each and every trip, he was thinking about the old person. But he
was thinking that this may not be the person in his heart. until such time
that he was tired from going around the cemetery in his many trips there
to check on the person as per Allah's command. But he could not find
any other person than the old man in the cemetery. He thought in his
heart that Allah had told him that person was special and pure, the most
eligible and fortunate.
So, why would an elderly harpist be a special person to Allah? So he
again began roaming around the cemetery, like a hunter in the jungle.
When he was sure that the required person was none other than the old
man, he said in his heart that in the darkness there would be light hearts.
And he went near him and sat with respect there. When there was
salutation by Hazrat Umar, that old man stood from the earth, and he
was surprised to see Hazrat Umar there and wanted to go away from
there, and due to fear, his hands and feet began shivering. And he said in
his heart, "Oh Allah, I request you, but the punisher of the offenders has
come before the old harp player.
Hazrat Umar told him, "Do not be afraid in this matter, and do not run
from seeing me; I have come here by the command of Allah to give you
glad tidings." Allah has praised you as such that Umar has become your
lover, and Allah has said salam to you. And asked about your condition.
Take some coins, and these are your rewards. Spend this amount, and
then come back to this place."
Upon hearing this, the condition of the old person changed strangely.
And he bit his hands and began to fret and fume, and without any
control over him, he cried and said, "Oh, un-instanced Allah, this old
person without sources was ashamed and regretful in this matter. When
his condition worsened due to his weeping, he broke his harp and struck
it on the ground, breaking it into many pieces. "Oh Harp, you were a
 87

veil between me and my creator, Allah," he said. And you have turned
me away from the right path. Oh Allah, forgiver of mistakes and keeper
of hidden faults, forgive my sins and have mercy on my previous life.
He began weeping in this way by mentioning his past life's sins.
Upon seeing this way of describing the condition, Hazrat Umar Bin
Qattab told him, "Your intoxication is a sign of cleverness," and he
advised him to forget his past sadness and grief and place of repentance
and now to engage in the knowledge of Allah. And in this way, the old
man’s old way of life was ended, and a new one was commenced in this
matter.

THE END.

The Rumi Story Book Part III

Shaik Jalauddin Rumi’s Mausoleum in Konya, Turkiya

1: The gift of a Bedouin in the presence of the caliph of Baghdad

In the past, there was one caliph in Baghdad who improved Hatim’s
position as a beggar due to his generosity. He has destroyed the
foundations of generosity, general favor, meeting needs, and assisting
the poor. As a result, he became well known, and his name spread from
east to west. Dear friends, hear the story of such a generous king of the
time as follows:
 89

One night, the wife of one Bedouin told her husband that we were
facing and bearing all kinds of poor conditions and difficulties. All the
world is happy, but we are unhappy in this matter. There is not enough
bread for us to eat, and our sustenance is pain and tears. And our dress is
like the sun, and at the time of sleep, our bed is like the night. And our
blanket is moonlight. And by understanding the moon’s round circle as
bread, we then held our hands towards the sky. We will be ashamed of
the beggars due to our poverty and hunger. Our nights and days are
spent searching for and thinking about bread. Like magician Samari,
who has wilderness in the company of human beginnings and
habitations.
The husband told her, "Till such time, you will continue these
complaints as there is such a short period of our lives left. And most of
our lives had already passed away. The wise person does not worry
about poverty or wealth, as both of these conditions are like water
waves that come and go. The waves of the river will be powerful or
light, but they have no firmness.
So then there is no matter for discussion. One who lives in comfort and
peace and dies in a miserable condition You are my wife, and you have
the same thinking as your husband, so by our unity and cooperation, all
works should be good and successful. The pair of shoes should be the
same, equal, and appropriate. If the pair of shoes and socks are made for
human wear, then they will look ugly. I'm going to content myself with
a strong heart, and I'm not sure why you're going to envy and lust.
That person received her advice with sincerity and kindness. And the
wife was upset with her husband, and she became angry with him, and
she said, "Oh, you disrespectful follower of the religion, I will not
follow your conversation. So you should stop your empty claims,
useless advice, and sermons. And tell him when you have followed the
lamp of content. You have just heard the name "content". And you are
deceiving me by putting its name between us. So that if there is a claim,
you regard it as such, complain, and make me defame myself in this
 90

matter. Your advice did not leave me answerless. But yes, reality has
closed my mouth.
It is a shame that you have made your name as real as a bird catcher's
trap. The name of reality will take revenge on you. I have surrendered
my life and body in the name of reality. So the pain of my injury can
reach your veins and life, or could reality's power imprison you like
women take revenge on you. I have surrendered my life and body in the
name of reality. So the pain of my injury can reach your veins and life,
or could reality's power imprison you like women? The women made so
many compliments to his husband, and hearing the taunts and
compliments, the man was silent, and he did not say anything to his
wife. So, how will he respond to his wife now?
The man told his wife, "Oh, my wife, you are my wife, so leave
unnecessary fighting with me in this matter and stop saying bad things
to me; otherwise, leave me. Do not touch my place of worship, and do
not hurt my life. If you stop your tongue, then it is good; otherwise,
remember that I will leave the house just now. Because it is good to
walk without shoes while wearing tight shoes. It is good to bear the
difficulties of the journey by escaping the fights in the house that are
always with you.
When the woman saw that her husband was worried and upset, she
began weeping immediately. And weeping is a great activity for women.
Then, in her helpless condition, she said, "Oh, my husband, I am not
your wife, but she is like one of your slippers." I do not think like you.
But I have with me another hope from your side. My body is my life,
and whatever I am, you are the owner of all three. And I am your
subordinate to fulfil your orders. If, due to hunger and starvation, my
heart is away from the place of patience, this is not for my sake; it is all
for yours. As you have become cured of my difficulties and illness. So I
want you to not go without bread. By swearing, I will say that this
complaint and protest, weeping and crying, are not for me; they are for
 91

you only. But you are talking about matters of separation, which are not
right and proper. Whatever you can do, do not do this.
She began this type of conversation, and by weeping, she fell to the
earth. During this rain, there was shine, and there was fallen electricity
on the heart of the man. And the husband was ashamed due to his harsh
conversation with his dear wife. And he was regretful, to the point that
the dying police commissioner will remember the cruelty he committed
during his career. And he began to say in his heart that he was the
husband of his wife, so his feet struck his dear wife. "Oh, woman, I am
sorry for my action," he said. If he was an infidel, then now he's a
Muslim. I am your sinner. So please accept my forgiveness. Now I am
away from your opposition. Now you have the option of taking the
sword, and I will obey whatever you say to him. I will not consider the
outcome, whether good or bad. I will finish myself off in your existence
because I am your lover. As love will be blind and deaf. "Whether your
promise is by piety or trick, it is taken secretly from my heart in this
matter," the woman told him.
The man told by Allah's swearing, who knows all people's secrets and
raised Adam from the earth and gave birth to the last prophet from him,
If you have my application with some text, then you can test me in this
matter.
The woman said to him, "Look, the sun is shining, and all of the world
is enjoying it. Please hear that Allah’s caliph and Rahman’s deputy, and
from him, the city of Baghdad, have adopted a new manner or style.
And if you meet the king, then you will also become king. The fortune
of the people is determined by the event itself, which produces chemical
action. And even their small attention is more than chemical action.
What one looks at of the last prophet has fallen: Hazrat Abu Baker, who
by one of his certifications had become well known and famous as
Siddiq (true).
 92

 The man told her how he would come in light of the look of the
king of Baghdad. And without any reason, I could not move to his
place of rule and power. The woman told him, "In our small leather
bag for carrying water.There will be a vessel full of rainwater in it,
which is your property and yours alone, so take it and present it in
the presence of the king of Baghdad.”
He has taken his water leather bag as a present for the king, and he told
him that "except for this, there is no saving capital with him. In deserted
places, there is no better water than this rain brought by me as king of
the time. If anyone has a treasure chest full of pearls and jewels, but
there is no water in the chest, The person told her that yes, he could do
it. The woman told me to close the opening of the leather bag. And see
how this gift will work and bring benefits to us in this matter. And sew
it together by n, and so the king will open his fast with our gift. Such
water could not be found in the whole world, and it is like wine.
So the Bedouin man took the leather bag off his shoulder and began his
journey as fast as he could, making night as day and day as night.
During his journey through health and illness, he was given much care
in this matter. and with such care and attention, he has brought a leather
bag of water to the city from a desert place. On the other side, the
woman said, "By placing his prayer mat on the earth, he prays with
Allah," and by weeping and crying, she said, "Oh, protect the leather
water bag. And she has continued his
At last, due to the supplication of the woman and his endeavors and hard
work, the Bedouin person reached the city in safe condition from the
thieves and stones of the boys. When he saw a grand building. And it is
very wide. And people in need are there by spreading the traps of their
desires and wishes. And at each and every door, people are finding their
desires and wishes.
When the Bedouin arrived at the king's court from the desert, heralds
came to receive him and take him into the presence of the king. And
 93

spread the kindness and favor of roses on his face. The royal heralds
were able to know his needs and requirements without hearing anything
from him. And their work is to give the poor person present there what
they need to meet their needs before they ask questions. They inquired,
"Oh, gentle man from Arabia, from where you came. And what is your
condition due to problems and difficulties? The person told them that "if
you give me respect, then I am a gentle person, and if you turn your face
away from me, then I am a person without respect. Oh, rich people,
there will be a rich look upon your faces. Your skin color and water are
brighter than raw gold. I am a traveller from a desert place, and I came
here for hope and for the kindness of the king of the time. And his
abilities, as well as his fragrance, have reached the desert in this matter.
There was life among the particles of the desert. I originally came here
for the golden coins, but when I arrived, I became uneasy due to the
great man's personality. I came to his door to demand material things.
When he reached his d, he became s. Then, by giving this water bag, he
asked the herald to present this water bag in the presence of the king and
free the questioner from the requirement of a question and answer. And
tell them that this rainwater is collected and gathered in an earthen pot.
There was laughter among the herds, but they had to collect water like
important souls. Because of the king's good and kind ability, which has
an effect on the royal courtiers in this matter.
After hearing his story, the caliph filled the water bag with gold coins.
He was given him many rewards and was also given a robe of honor, so
the Bedouin forgot his hunger and thirst. The river mercy then directed
one of the heralds to place a water bag in the hands of a Bedouin and to
send him to his location via the Djla River, which was close by. As he
came to Baghdad by passing the longer distance. And he told her that
when he sits in the boat, he will forget his hunger and thirst. The heralds
have done so as per the order of the caliph of Baghdad. They have given
him a bag of golden coins and taken him to the port of the River Tigris.
When the Arab Bedouin sat in the boat and saw the river Tigris, his
head was down due to his shame in this matter. So, having fallen in
 94

prostration, he said, "There is a reward from the owner, which is very

strange, and it is also very strange that the river of generosity accepted
my sour water, and who has accepted my bad and faulty thing without
any hesitation?"

2.One syntactical person and the boat crew

One syntactical person boarded the boat, and in his proud way, he asked
the boat crew whether you had studied some of the Nahvi (one skilled in
syntax). The boat crew told him "no." So he told him, "It is a regret that
you have wasted half your life." The crew of the boat had become very
angry, but the captain controlled his anger and did not say anything to
him at that time.
The waves of the wind put the boat in the swimming pool, and at that
time the crew of the boat cried out in a loud voice, "Gentlemen, whether
you know swimming or not, the Navhi person said, "I could not swim in
the water."
The person on the boat crew told him, "Oh Nahvi person, you have
wasted your whole life because now the boat is in a vortex of calamity
and going to drown in the water."
Explanation: The lesson of this story is that if one person achieves
perfection in any skill or knowledge, he should not follow pride in this
matter.
 95

3. The engraving of a picture on the body parts of the Garzuni

person
There is a tradition among the Garuzini people that it is customary to
engrave pictures of animals like tigers and cheetahs on the human body.
One Garzuni person went to the shop of the barber, and he told the
barber to engrave pictures on his body so he could give him his asking
fee as per his demand.
The barber told him, "Oh wrestler, tell me what kind of picture I can
make for you." He asked him for a picture of a furious tiger. As my
lucky symbol is a tiger, So I made a very beautiful tiger drawing and
used a lot of blue in the design. The barber told him "where he could
engrave a picture of a tiger". He told him, "On the sides, so that in the
war field and in the meeting of singing and music with a picture of a
furious tiger, there would be an increase in his bravery and there would
be a firm intention on my part."
When the barber pricked the needle for the engraving of the picture of
the tiger on his body part, there was immediate pain in the shoulder of
the wrestler, so he began to shout and cry in this matter, and he told the
good man, "You have killed me. How you are engraving." The barber
told him you have asked for the engraving of the picture tiger. In his
worry, the wrestler asked from which part you had started this work, and
the barber told him from part of the tail of the tiger. The wrestler told
me to leave the tail part out. Due to the picture work of the engraving on
the tail, his respiration is coming up and down. Oh, marker of the
picture of the tiger, if the picture is without a tail, there will be no
problem. Because of the pricking of the needle, my heart is facing many
difficulties and problems.
Then the barber began pricking the needle at the other side to make a
picture of the part of the tiger, but again the wrestler made a loud cry for
his pain, and he asked which part he was making a picture of, and the
barber told him this was making an ear picture of the tiger. The Garzuni
 96

told him that there was not an ear required for our tiger picture. So you
abandon the tiger's ear engraving work.
The barber began pricking the needle for the third part of the tiger. And
because of the pain and difficulty, the wrestler began to cry again, and
he asked the barber which part of his body was inscribed, and the barber
told him he was making a picture of the tiger's abdomin. The wrestler
told him I do not need a picture of the abdomin of the tiger, as he
himself is suffering from the pain of the abdomin. If the picture of the
tiger is taken out, then there will be no problem in this matter.
Due to anger, the face of the barber became red, and for a long time he
bit his finger in his teeth due to his surprise condition. Then he threw his
needle on the ground and said, "Whether any person has seen any tiger
without its tail and head and without an abdomin. Such a tiger Allah did
not create in the world."

4. The combined effort of the hunting expedition by the tiger,

wolf, and fox

There was a combined effort of hunting by tiger, wolf, and fox in the
jungle, and they went on the mountain in search of the hunting wild
animals. Even the tiger was embarrassed to accompany them on their
hunting expedition. But his wide heart allowed him to go hunting. But
for such a king, organising and equipping armies will be a problem, but
when the army was with the king, it became a source of help for the
group in this matter. So that group went to the area of mountains with
the tiger and then found hunting of the jungle cow, jungle goat, and
rabbit, which were very fat and healthy. As a result, their courage was
greatly increased. The warrior, who will be accompanied by the tiger,
will find good dishes to eat day and night.
 97

In short, when they brought fat and healthy hunting animals from the
mountain to the ground area, there was suspicion among the fox and
wolf in this matter. And they began saying that there should be an equal
distribution of hunted animals among the group. And justice should be
served in this case. There was a reflection of their treachery in the tiger's
heart, and he knew what they were up to. But he did not disclose
anything in this matter. But he told himself in his heart, "Oh beggar, I
will punish you in this matter. You have no satisfaction with me. But
you're envious of my gender."
So the tiger told the wolf, "Oh, old wolf, you start the system of justice
about the distribution of the flesh of the hunted animals." For the
distribution of the flesh of the hunted animals, I appoint you, my deputy,
so that we can know about your abilities. The wolf replied, "Oh, king of
the jungle, the jungle cow is your share because you are also big." And
goat is share for me. And rabbits may be given without any objection to
the fox."
"Oh, wolf," the tiger said to the wolf, "why did you tell me before all as
you to me and to yourself you said as we?" The wolf is similar to a dog
who is proud of himself. He slew him like an unmatched tiger and asked
to come before him. He struck with his punch and tore him off him.And
told that there was not gone ego from him, so he should be killed at a
place where there will not be water."
The tiger has given orders to the fox to distribute the hunted flesh of the
animals for eating.
The fox, after paying respect, said, "The fat cow will be spared for your
highness’s breakfast, the goat will be kept for the lunch break, and this
rabit will be spared for sharing the evening dinner sharing. The tiger
was overjoyed with the fox's method of animal meat distribution. And
he told her, "You have given new life to the justice system." And he
asked her to truly say, "From where she had learned this kind of
distribution method?" The tiger said, "Oh, respected fox, tell me where
 98

you have copied this type of food distribution in the jungle area. "Oh,
honorable king of the jungle, I have learned this kind of distribution
from the condition of the wolf in this matter," the fox said. And I have
learned a lesson from the death of the wolf.
The tiger then told her, "You have ignored your personality for us, so
due to your sacrifice, take all these three hunted animals for your sake,
for your food, and also for your sustenance. Oh, fox, as dear as you have
become to us, for this reason we also belong to you. And all hunted
animals are for you. If you want to put your foot on the seventh sky,
which is accepted by us in this matter,

When you have learned a lesson from the death of the mean wolf, you
have not remained a fox, but you are my tiger.
The fox thanked Allah for calling her after the wolf for the distribution
of the hunted animals. If she were to be called before the wolf, then how
would his life be saved, and how could she find the great share of the
hunted animal’s share of the meat?
So there is great thanks to Allah that he has given us birth after others.
We have heard of the punishment meted out to the previous nations by
Allah, and like the result of the punishment meted out to the past nation
like a wolf, we have to consider our position and status like a fox.
 In the words of Allah's true Messenger (peace be upon him), who
referred to his people as Ummat-e-Marhuuma (the blessed people,
the Muslims) because "oh good people by wolf bones and
scratched hairs of previous times and have lesson in this
matter."Oh wise person, when you hear the result of the king of the
Pharoahs of Egypt and the result of the nation of Thamud and Ad,
then he will take out his pride and arrogance, and in spite of this, if
he will not take out his pride and arrogance from his mind, As a
 99

result, those who will be affected by such a person will learn from
him.

5.The visit of a lover to his beloved’s house

One lover went to the house of his beloved and knocked on the door.
The beloved asked, "Who are you.? Then the person replied, "It is me."
The beloved told him, "Be away from her; there is no possibility of our
meeting at this time." As raw as you are, there is no place on the eating
table. So without the fire of separation and parting, how can the raw
grain be cooked? When you can make your manifest and inner selves
the same and equal. As your ego is not gone from your side. So for this
reason, you have to burn it in the fire of grief. Upon hearing this, the
lover returned from that place. And for a period of one year, there was a
burning effect from the fire of separation upon him.
When, by burning, he became perfect, he went to the house of the
beloved. And he began making rounds around the house of his beloved
so as to offer himself for alms for the sake of his beloved. Then,
terrified, he knocked on his beloved's door. So that there may not be any
word of disrespect from his mouth in favor of his beloved girl. The
beloved inquired from the inside, "Who is there on the door?" He has
replied, "He became perfect; he went to the house of the beloved. And
he began making rounds around the house of his beloved so as to offer
himself for alms for the sake of his beloved. Then, out of fear, he
knocked on the door of the beloved. So that there may not be found any
word of disrespect from his mouth in favor of his beloved girl. There
was a question asked from inside the door by the beloved, "Who is there
on the door.? He has replied, "Oh, my beloved, you are there." So
beloved has given the order, "When there, you can enter the door,"
because one personality does not require the remaining two people.
When there will be one and one, then there will be an end to the
 100

capacity of two persons. And there will be signs of one personality,

while for the other, there is no capacity in this matter.
6.The visit to the house of Hazrat Yousuf by his friend

One kind friend came from a foreign country and stayed in the house of
Hazrat Yousuf. They were childhood friends, so they had a lot in
common. So they sat on a pillow of friendship while taking support
from the wall in a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere.
The friend has discussed with Hazrat Yousuf the enmity and cruelty of
his brothers towards him in this matter. He has replied, "That event was
like a chain, and I was a tiger. And it shows that by putting the tiger in
the chain, there will be no disrespect for the tiger. If the tiger is left in
the chain, then in that position, the tiger will become the head of the
people who put him in the chain."
The friend has asked him about the condition of the prison as well as his
difficulties there with the water well. Hazrat Yousuf responded that he
was in the order of the lunar eclipsing and liked declining nights for the
moon conditions.
When the friend has finished the discussion with Hazrat Yousuf, he asks
his friend whether he has brought a gift for him or not?.Then he told
him that "it is like going to the flour mill without the wheat." Because of
the high demand for the gift, the friend was disappointed and expressed
regret, but when the demand increased, he asked to show me the gift he
had brought.
At last, the friend told him, "I have thought about your gift, but I could
not find any gift suitable for you." So why would I bring one piece of
jewellery in such a big box of jewels? And one drop of water may be
added to such a big river of water. If I will bring my heart and soul as
my present in your presence, it is like a piece of Zira to be brought to
 101

the country of Kirman, in which a large quantity of Zira (cumin seed, a

kind of spice) is cultivated and is well known and famous in the world.
But your beauty is your attribute, and you should not be an example in
this matter.
So I think it is appropriate for me to bring for you one mirror, like the
light of the chest, in your presence. And which is the lamp of the sky
and, like the sun, spreads light in the world.
I have brought one mirror for you so that you can see your beautiful face
in it. And when you see your face in it, you can remember your friend.
And by saying this, he was taken by a mirror from his armpit and
presented before Hazrat Yousuf.
As there is a method, when a beautiful personality is presented with a
mirror piece, they will be engaged in this matter.
The End.

Shaik Jalauddin Rumi’s Mausoleum in Konya , Turkiya

1.The competition of Chinese and Roman artists

There was much pride in the Chinese artists for the drawing work with
them. And as well as Roman artists were famous for their claim of skill
and art. The king of the country issued an order to investigate their
claim in this matter.The Chinese said they would spare their lives and
show the best results. The Romans also said that they would show their
best skills in the exhibition and competition. In short, there was a
drawing competition between Chinese and Roman artists.
 103

The Chinese people told the Romans to hire one house for them and also
for the Chinese. The two houses were allotted to them which were
opposite of each other. Many different colors of paint have been
requested by the Chinese artists. And which were provided from the side
of the king by opening the store for them in this matter, and each and
every day the Chinese people were given a ration of the paints.
 The Romans said that they did not make any drawings or use any
paint. But they will show their perfection as such that there will be
no rust in this matter. So they closed the door and began work on
the burnishing of the walls. They made an intoxicating infusion
with hemp, a wooden pestle, and polished the wall to make it as
simple and transparent as the sky.
On the other side, the Chinese, upon finishing the work of perfection in
the art, began beating the bands and drums of happiness and joy.
The king of the country has seen the art work of the Chinese people.
And he was surprised to see their drawings and art work.
Then the king visited the Roman art house, and they had removed the
curtain from their art work. So there was a reflection and replication of
the drawing work of the Chinese on the polished walls of the Romans.
And whatever Chinses work of drawing have done which was shown on
the polished wall of the Romans art gallery due to reflection mirror
image and which were such beautiful that eyes balls were coming out of
the circle.
Explanation: :Oh, my son! The example of the Roman persons is like
that of such Sufi persons who have not studied the books of Islamic
religion or do not have excellence in knowledge or skill.
They have cleared their chests of lust and greed, as well as miserliness
and mean nature, for which they have cleared their chests of rust in this
matter as such that they have become clear, and for this reason their
 104

hearts have become clean, in which there is shown a reflection of the

eternal beauty in this matter.
2. The claim of the slaves upon Hadrat Luqman
Hadart Luqman, who was a slave of one rich person, was found to be
weak and in bad shape among all his slaves.
That rich person sent all his slaves to the garden for the collection of
fruits from there. Hadrat Luqman also used to go to the garden along
with all other slave persons.
He was a personality of wisdom from head to toe, but his color was
very black, like a black night. The slave who used to collect the fruits
has the habit of eating the fruits in the garden.
There it was happened that once the rich person who was able to know
about this matter, and he has asked about it, and slaves have informed
him that Hadrat Luqman used to eat the fruits in the garden. So for this,
his owner was angry with Hadra Luqman, and he began to have a hard
and tough attitude with him. And he began taking much labour with him
in this matter.
At that time, Hadrat Luqman told him, "Oh my owner, there is no
solace for an unfaithful person with Allah. So for this, there is a required
trial in this matter. And in this matter, all slaves may be given hot water
to drink. And you run on the horse in the jungle, and we all slaves will
follow you and run behind you. And after this opener of secrets, Allah
will show the real thief in this matter for the prosecution.’
The rich person arranged the hot water, and all slaves have to drink hot
water due to fear of the owner. And after this, there was an order to run
in the jungle and farmland areas. And by running, we were all
experiencing vomiting symptom.And at last, whatever they had eaten
came out of their mouths through vomiting. In the vomiting of Hadrat
 105

Luqman, it was very clear and clean, and only water came out of his
stomach.
Explanation: When there will be effective wisdom of Hadrat Luqman
in this case, then there will be the wisdom of Allah, which can do
everything to find out what is true and what is false in this matter.
3. The seeing of the new moon of Ramdan in the rule of Hadrat
Usman bin Affan

When your heart is clear and clean, you will be able to see not only the
gardens and flowers of the world, but also the drawings in other worlds
and drawers in this matter.And which you can see both of them. If there
is an obstruction of one hair on the eye sight, then it will become
difficult to tell the difference by the eye sight between something like a
small glass bead and a pearl. If that person abandons his own thoughts
in this matter, he will be able to tell the difference between a glass bead
and a pearl.Oh, one who checks the pearl, he should know by the story
mentioned as follows and know in this matter that the difference
between reality and thinking.
During the rule period of Hadrat Usman bin Affan, there came the
month of Ramadan, so for seeing the new moon, the people have
reached the top of the mountain. So that they can see the new moon and
start keeping fasts for the new month of Ramadan.
One person told Hadrat Umar, "Oh Umar, see there is a moon. Hadrat
saw the moon in the sky, but he could not find it there. And he told him
that the moon, which was created in the sky, is by your own thinking.
Otherwise, I can see the skies better than you. Which I could not see the
moon predicted by you in this matter.” Then he told him to "wet his
hand and spread it on the eye brows. And seen again in the sky. Check
to see if you can see the moon now.When that person, by wetting his
eye brows, saw the moon in the sky but it could not find the moon. Then
 106

he said, "Oh Hadrat, there is no moon in the sky. And it vanished from
there." Hadrat Umar told him that it was the bend of the hair on your
eyebrows that put you in this doubt. It means one of the hairs on his
eyebrow was not in an upright position and was in a bent position. And
from that hair, which was bent, was born this doubt in your heart in this
matter."
Explanation:Now consider this: if one of your brow hairs bends and
becomes in front of your eye, there will be a veil between your eye and
the sky.
When all your parts of nature are bent, then how much will you be
deceived in this matter? Oh, seeker of the right way, correct your parts
with true people, and they can rectify your scale in this matter, and your
scale will be in the wrong way working with misleading people. So for
this reason, the weight on that scale will be shown as wrong. And there
will be a loss of wisdom.
4. One fire accident during the rule period of Hadrt Umar bin
Qattab
During the rule period Hadrt Umar bin Qattab there was fire broke out
in one city. That fire was very server and dangerous that even it used
burn out stone like dry woods. By burning the house and localities and
it was reached to the nestles of the birds and even at last it burnt down
their p.
the fire flames was burnt down half city and as such that even the water
resources could not bear fire flames and its hard and high temperature
in this matter.
The people of the edeavors were engage to put water and spread
vinegar water guns on it. And it was seen that water and vinegar were
helping in the spreading and inflaming fire.
 107

At last the mankind ran in the presence of Hadrt Umar bin Qattab . And
told him that our fire is not diminishing our any kind of water. He told
them that “ The fire is sign of anger of Allah. This is only one flame of
our b. so leave water and distribute breads. If you are under my control
then leave b in this matter.
The mankind told that we have already have opened the door in this
matter. and we are following always sr. and as well as followed
generositity.
Hadrt Umar bin Qatta said that “ You have followed this policy as
customs and your habit. You have not opened the door on the way of
Allah. Whatever you have given for show and to show your richness
and for sake of name and fame. And not given due to fear and humility.
Explanation : So such generosity and alms giving for the show which
will not bring any result in this matter.
5.The spitting of infidel on Hadrat Ali and not killing by him
By act of Hadrat Ali Ibn Taleb to learn method of sincerity from it. He
was tiger of Allah. And his act was free one’s own self .In one battle
when there was his encounter with enemy then he has ready to attack
with his sword in his hand. So that person spit on the face of light of
Hadrat Ali Ibn Taleb. And he was pride of each and every prophet and
holy persons of Allah. The enemy who has spit on such face if the moon
will be before him then the moon will prostorate before him. But hadrat
showed his patience at that time. And by throwing his sowrd left away
from the infidel wrestler. The wrestler was surprised and astonished due
to his act at that time. As there was not time to show kindness and
forgiveness in this matter. He told him that you taken your sword for me
for killing but soon you have thrown your sword. And what is its
reason.? And in my fighting what you seen defect with me and have
become successful. And after that you were kept away from this fight
with me.
 108

He told him that he use his sword for sake of Allah as he is slave of
Allah. I am not a slave of my soul. I am tiger of Allah. This my action is
witness upon my religion. The anger and fury for the kings and rulers
and it is our slave. So for this reason on anger and fury I have made
brdal and rein in this matter. My sword of patience which was killed
neck of my anger and fury. And anger of reality is there over me like
mercy.
The prophet told my servant in his ear that “ One day he will cut your
neck from your body.” That servant used to say to me that you first kill
him so that he would not do such a grave mistake by him.” But I used to
reply him that “When there will be going to happen my death at your
hand so against the will of Allah why I should involve means in this
matter and in this way I used to see my killer before my eyes day and
night. But I do not anger upon this matter.Because like men who keep
life as dear and in the say I like my death. Because such death is having
hand in hand with other life in this matter and to die without death is
legal for us and to live without things is grace for us.
Then ruler of the Muslims said to that wrestler “Oh young man in the
battle when you spit upon my face. There was movement with soul. And
intention of battle was changed in this matter and it was become for
killing on the way of Allah and half for the soul. As a matter of fact in
the work of Allah there is not possible sharing work by another person.
You face are made by creator and who is your owner. And you are not
belongs to me.to break drawing of the friend by his order only. To throw
stone on the mirror of the friend and which belongs to him.
When the infidel wrestler heard the sermon then there was created light
in his heart and he has broken his sacred thread worn crosswise round
the body by infidels. And he told “ Oh it is regret that still he was
sowing the seeds of the cruelty. I used to think about you something
other. You are not only scale to reach Allah but you are d of each and
every scale in this matter.
 109

I am the slave of such person who is having habits of light and from him
his lamp got light. And I am slave of such wave of the river of light.
And which bring such pearls from out side. So teach me phrase of
witness your religion because I found you more higher than me.
In short near the wrestler the relatives and people of his nation who
were present there at that time were accepted Islamic religion like moth
of the light.
Explantion : Hazrat Ali Ibn Taleb due to his sword of brilliance made to
enter to large number of mankind and saved their brilliance from sword
. So sword of brilliance is more sharp than the sword of steel but in the
success and victory it is more powerful than 100 armies.

6.The theft of snake

One thief who has stolen snake belongs to the snake player. And by his
foolish thinking thought the snake is not piousness and unharm. The
snake player was safe from the poison of the snake. But thief was
bitten by the poisonous snake. When the snake player has seen the snake
then he was able to know his snake and was also able to know that the
thief has taken much care of the snake more than his soul so he has lost
his soul in this matter. But soul was praying in this matter that oh Allah
I can caught the thief and get my snake. Thanks of Allah that my that
prayer was not accepted and the matter which was against of me and
which was become in favor of me.
The man use to make many supplications and if all were accepted then
there will be gathered many problems and difficulties like death and
losses. But Allah due to his kindness ignore such supplication in this
matter.The maker of the supplication also complaint and be mistrustful
with Allah because in this matter there is good for him for not accepting
 110

his supplications. And he could not understand that he was making

supplication for problems for him. And Allah due to his favour of
kindness and mercy did not such supplication in this matter.

7. The insisting of the burning bones by the companion of the

prophet Jesus
One foolish fellow who was companion of the prophet Jesus during his
journey who, upon seeing the bones in the pit, told him what is the pure
name with which you used to give life to the dead persons? So you also
teach me that name. So that he can put life in these old bones. The
prophet Jesus sold him by saying, "You shut up." Your dare not in this
and your tongue are not eligible for this work. He told him that " Well,
that he could not reveal his secrets in this matter. You then only recite
something on these bones. "Oh Allah," the prophet Jesus said in his
heart, "There is a secret in this matter."And why there is so much
insistent support for this foolish fellow. Why there is no worry about
illness for this person himself. This man is not caring about him in this
matter. He has left his corpse and is showing interest in the corpse of
another unknown person.
Allah revealed to him that "Unlucky person who will be in need of bad
luck."The cropping of the thorn is the cause and result of the sowing of
the thorn only.”
When the prophet Jesus saw that foolish fellow companion’s useless
conversation and talking could not move forward any further. And due
to his lack of wisdom, he was not able to understand any advice. And
due to his ignorance and misguidance, he thinks that not showing a
miracle is as miserliness. The prophet Jesus, as per his request, has
recited the name of Allah, and for this reason, the dead person has
become alive as per the order of Allah. Immediately he has seen that
was a black tiger. And he was jumped towards the companion, and by
striking on his body, he tore him into pieces. And he had broken his face
 111

and mind into many pieces. And in its body part of the mind, it was seen
that nothing had remained there before.
Hadrat Jesus has asked did you torn the man so fast in this matter? and
the tiger told him, "You are angry with him." Then the prophet Jesus
asked him "Why do you drink his blood". And the tiger told him that
"there was no sustenance in his fate in this matter. If there is sustenance
in the world for me, then why was he included in the dead animals?"
This is such a punishment for such clear water coming from a donkey
whose kicking makes clean water dirty. If the donkey knows the value
of canal, then he will put his head instead of his leg.
8.The handing over of mule by the Sufi person to Sufi hermet
One Sufi by tour and travel was reached to shrine building in the night
time. And tied his mule in the stable and he went inside of the building
and reached at the main area and sat there.On the shrine people there
was prevailed condition of ecstasy. And that they have brought a tray of
food to the guest. And at that time Sufi was remembers about his mule
and he was asked servant of the shrine to go to stable and provide grass
and barley to his mule. The servant told “ Lahul waquvata there is no
need to say in this matter I am doing this work since long time.” And
Sufi told him to put some water on the barley as that mule has become
older and his teeth has become week. The servant told “Lahul waquvata
oh Hadrat what you teach me. As people learn from him many tricks
and leave the shrine building. The Sufi told him first remove bridle of
the mule. then put onitment on his wound on his backside. The servant
told him“Lahul waquvata oh hadrat keep close your wisdom. I know as
such work well in perfect way. All guest go in happy condition from the
shrine building. We treat the guest as relative and like our life. And give
the water to mule to some hot. “Lahul waquvata oh Hadrat due to your
small matters there is regret for me.”
Then Sufi told him to mix barley with grass and give to mule. “Lahul
waquvata oh hadrat you keep quiet all things will be done for mule. The
 112

Sufi told “ To clean mule from stones small pieces and garbage from
him. And if there is water then put dry grass there. “Lahul waquvata oh
Hadrat there is no benefit to say all these to perfect attender.The Sufi
told oh gentleman to spread cover on mule as there is winter nights so
put on the backside of the mule. “Lahul waquvata oh Hadrat do not say
to me all arrangement as my work is clear as white milk. And free from
doubt and suspects. You do not search mistrust and doubt and suspense.
I am perfect in my work than you in this matter. Because I will face
always good and bad visitors of our shrine. I will do my service
according to the requirement of the visitors.
After saying this the servant by tightening his waist he told I am going
and left the place.
First he will do arrangement of grass and barley. He went from there. At
other side there was prevailed deep sleep upon the Sufi person that he
forget the stable. The servant went in the company of his bad friends
and began laughing at the instruction of the Sufi person. The Sufi who
was tired of his journey. And he was slept and he began watching
dreams in his half sleep conditions.
One dream he has seen that the wolf has attacked on his mule and he
was eating loafs of the flesh of the back side and leg. And he was up and
said Lahul waquvata what is this un-easiness and where that kind
servant went. And he may be near of the mule.
Then he has seen another dream in which he was watched that mule was
falling sometime in the well and sometime falling in the pit. He was
watching such dangerous events in his dream. So he was reciting some
time verse Fataha and some time verse Al-Qaria. At last in uneasy
condition he told what he can do this time. As people of the shrine are
sleeping and all servants were left out by locking the door. The Sufi was
engage in such work of recitals. There was fallen difficulty on the mule
that may Allah keep safe even our enemies.
 113

The bridle of the mule by touching stones and earth it was bend. And
rope was broken. The donkey which was tired in the day journey and
without food in the night was facing such condition like weakness and
sometime like death ailment. And by his condition of tongue he was
saying that “Oh holy persons have mercy upon me. I am upset with this
raw and un-mature Sufi person.”
In short the mule which suffered such difficulties and problems that like
water falling on the birds living on land. And he was spent whole night
on side of his body position due to starvation till the morning time. And
in the separation of grass and barley he was cried through out the night
time.
At the time of day break the servant came and he has moved bridle and
put on the back of the mule.like hard hearted donkey seller he has made
2 or 3 wounds. Due pressing of the nail the mule began loud and cry.
The poor animal do not have tongue to say his difficulty and problem in
this matter.
When the Sufi road on the mule and began his journey then he began
falling on the way due to his weakness.Where-ever the mule will fall the
people used to lift and they thought the mule in ill condition.Some one
will twist is ears. And some see his mouth by opening it.Other will
check in between of his hoofs and shoes to find out any small pieces of
stones.And some will check by opening the eyes and see the color of the
eye balls. And will say oh shaik your mule is falling many times and
what is reason in this matter.? And shaik will reply by grace of Allah
my mule is strong but this mule which was eaten Lahul wala quwa
throughout the night so for this reason he could not pass the way of the
journey. So his movement is reasonable in this matter.When the food of
the mule was Lahul wala quwata for night out then he was engaged in
the recital. So for this reason he will be all day prostration in this matter.
Explanation : When there will be no interest by other person in your
work then you should have to do your work by himself. Many of the
 114

people are having nature of mistrust so from their formal relation up to

saying salam so do not expect from such people good or welfare of the
things.
The person who ate Lahul wal quwata from of Satan who will fall in
the battle field by head side. So you should your hunting like tiger. Do
not come in to trap of unknown person. There will be such service of
useless person like the servant has done in this matter.
So by coming in the trap of such ineligible person it is better to live
without servant in this matter.
The meaning of this phrase, La hawla wa la quwwata illa Billah, there
is no power and no strength except with Allah, is a person's admission
that he is unable .

1. The buying of the sweet by Shaik Ahmed Khizorvia for loan

givers

One person was a great loan taker, and in this matter, his daring became
well known and famous. He used to take large amounts of loans from
rich people. And lack of concern and care he used to spend upon the
beggars. He spent his wealth and all of his resources to construct one
shrine building. And the name of that Shaik is Ahmed Khizervia, and
his work was to serve the people of love in this matter. Allah used to
provide him loans from each and every side, like when Allah made him
sand like flour. The compiler of the book mentioned the simile of sand,
which is not eatable, but Allah made it desirable for his dear person in
this matter.
The loan taker, Shaik, has spent many years in this way. He used to take
on one side and give the amount of the loan to the needy persons on the
other side in this matter for helping them.
When the age of the Shaik began to fade and there appeared the effect of
the illness of death, at that time all loan givers were gathered around
him. Shaik's lamp of life was melting, and the decoration was falling
apart at the time.
The hearts of the loan-giving individuals had become sad and hopeless.
As a result, they became enraged and began scolding.
The Shaik told them, "Let us see whether Allah has not given him 400
gold coins. During this time, one of the sweet-selling boys has made a
call about his sales. And Shaik was given orders for the servant to go
and buy all the sweet dishes. And he also thinks that if the loan givers
will eat sweets, then for some time they will leave harsh conversation
behind. Immediately the slaver left from the door, and he has asked the
price of the sweet dish . And the boy told him half a dinar and some
dirhams. The slave advised him not to expect more from Sufi people.
 118

And give the full dish of sweet for the price of a half dinar. He has put
the full dish of sweets before the shaykh.
Now see the miracle of Shaik's farsightedness. And he was asked by the
loan givers to eat sweet by sign as this is the blessing of fakir persons,
so eat it with satisfaction. As per order, all sat in the circle and ate the
all-sweet dish by clearing it. The boy took his dish from where it had
been cleared. And he demanded the price of the sweet dish. Shaik said,
"Oh boy, from where should he bring the amount? And I am already
under debt for a large amount, and I am now in the condition of death by
illness." The boy, out of anger, threw the dish there, and he began
weeping.
The boy began to cry loudly and used to say that "It was good that
both of his feet would have broken. It would be good for me if he would
go on to see and sell to lepers, and he did visit the door of the shrine for
selling. Upon hearing the loud cries, some good and bad boys gathered
there. At last, that boy came to see Shaik, and he said to him, “Oh, cruel
old man, I will be killed by my master in this matter. Whether you agree
that I will go before him with empty hands and he would kill me." The
loan givers were also said to have done much cursing and swearing to
the Shaik.
They asked Shaik by them why you have cheated on us. And you have
taken our money, taking with you the bag of cruelty in this matter into
another world. And upon this, you have the crest of a turban of cruelty.
At the time of afternoon prayer, the sweet-selling boy was weeping
there. The Shaik has closed his eyes and does not see him.
The heart of the Shaik was free from fighting and violence. He was
sleeping on his cot, like the moon in the cloudiness, by covering his face
with a blanket.
For seeing the boy spectators gathered there, each person has collected
one dirham and wishes to pay the price of the sweet. So the courage of
the Shaik did not like this. And he has stopped collection work. And
 119

prohibited it. And not paid anything to the boy. The God-fearing people
have much more than this.
When the people had performed afternoon prayer, they saw that one
slave was coming there, putting a tray on his head. One person who was
God-fearing and a devotee of the Shaik was sent this present, and in it
there are kept 400 dinars on one side, and one dinar is kept in a separate
packet on the other side.
The slave came into the presence of Shaik, put the tray there, and he
said salam to him that his master has sent this present for him. When he
lifted the cover off the tray then they all seen miracle of the Shaik of
time. And at they were crying themselves, and they said salam to him
that his master has sent this present for him. When he lifted the cover
off the tray, the people saw the miracle of the Shaik of time. And at that
time they were crying among themselves, and they said, " Oh pious
person among holy persons, what is this? Oh king of the innermost
people, we do not know your position in this matter. For God's sake,
forgive all of us. And we told you absurd matters. We burn down
wooden sticks due to our blindness, and as it is must that the lights have
broken. We deaf persons did not heard the conversation of the our
addressee and talked in uncivilized way, and we have given you
replies in this matter by our thinking.”
The Shaik told them, "I have forgiven your absurd conversation. In this
secret matter, I have kept you here for such a long time that I have
requested Allah's guidance, and Allah has created it by his source. Even
though the price of half dinar is less and there was uneasiness in the
boy, and unless and until the sweet boy seller did not weep, there was no
passion in the river of the mercy of Allah.”
Explanation: Oh brothers, that boy is your weeping. And upon it there is
a related aim with weeping. So aim is related to weeping of the heart.
Until and unless there is no weeping, there is no success in this matter.

2.The tiger's be itched by a villager in the dark

In the cattle house, one villager tied his cow with rope.One tiger came
there, killed the cow, and ate there. The tiger, upon eating the cow, sat
there in the cattle house. The villager came into the darkness by
searching his cow. And he thought tiger as his cow began touching his
hands and feet as well as on the back and on the sides. The tiger began
thinking in his heart that if there would be some morning light, then his
gall bladder would be broken by fear. And there will be blood in his
heart. The rudness irritates me, and the reason is that he only sees me as
his cow.
Explanation: The reality that is also in this saying is that, Oh, deceived
blind person, you do not know that by hearing my name, the mountain
of Sinai has become shattered.
You have heard my name by follow especially the old ways and
traditions way from your parents. And if you know by research in this
matter, then you also become nameless as the mountain of the Sinai.

3. The selling of a Sufi traveller’s donkey by Sufi persons

For taking a lesson, hear this story so that you will be free from the
difficulty of conformity.
 One Sufi person in the travelling party was reached in the shrine.
And he tied his donkey in the stable and brought water in the
bucket for the donkey. And put grass before the donkey with his
hand. This Sufi was not such a careless Sufi person as was
mentioned in the previous pages of this book. He did not show
negligence in caring for the donkey. But if there is an order from
Allah, then there will be no benefit from the care in this matter.
Due to poverty, all the Sufi members of that shrine were poor. And
 121

as per mentioned in the hadith, "Sometimes poverty will be taken

as an act of infidelity." Oh, rich person, your stomach is full, so do
not make fun of the poor beggar’s perversity or irregular motion.”

In short, those Sufi individuals decided to sell the donkey of the

traveller. And they have given expiation for their sin in this matter. At
the time of need, even unclean things will be desirable. They have
brought tasty dishes and lit the shrine. There was much noise about the
arrangements in the shrine because tonight there is dinner as well.
Sama (Turkish: Sema; Persian, Urdu, and Arabic: samn) is a Sufi
ceremony performed as part of the meditation and prayer practise dhikr.
(Sama means "listening", while dhikr means "remembrance") meeting.
Finally, after many days of struggle.And fasting for the three days. And
how many days to beg with bowls? As we are also slaves of Allah. And
we have souls with us.
That Sufi traveller, without knowing the real story, was watching music
and merriment, and by that time all the people had turned towards him
and began pressing his hands and feet. Some people will ask him from
where he has come. And another person will dust his bed spread. And
others will kiss his hands and forehead.
The Sufi traveller explained in his heart why the shrine Sufi people paid
such close attention to him and why he did not share in their joy.In
short, when all of them had eaten all the fine food, then Sama meeting
was started. And the entire shrine had darkened from floor to ceiling due
to dirt, smoke, the smoke coming from the kitchen, and dust from the
touching of the feet in the state of ecstasy.And sometimes they start
clapping. And after that, they strike the earth with their feet, and some
time later, due to prostration, they will remove dirt from the main hall.
When the Sama was ended, the chroesters sang in a loud voice, "The
donkey was departed, the donkey was departed," and this, as the best
couplet of the poem, indicated that there was increased heat among
 122

Sama-hearing persons. And due to this condition, the Sufi traveller also
began hitting the floor with his feet in the heat of passion until the
morning time. And he was singing this couplet with all the others as the
donkey was departing. The donkey was gone. When Sama's meeting
was over and there was decreased passion and urge, he saw that
daybreak was there, and all persons left by saying God bless." And all
the shrines had become empty.
And only the Sufi traveller was left alone there. So he dusted his bed,
packed it, and left the room. So that he can leave the shrine soon along
with the travellers by putting his baggage on the donkey’s back. When
he searched the stable for his donkey, he couldn't find it, so he told
himself that shrine servant was taken to the well to drink water.As
yesterday, the donkey drank less water. When the servant came there,
the Sufi traveller asked, Where is the donkey? The servant told him, "To
see in your beard," and by saying this, there was fighting among both of
them.
Sufi told him, "I have surrendered and made caretaker of the donkey.
You are responsible for this dealing, and you have to give me the
donkey in this matter. If there are many arguments, then we will see the
judge who will give judgement in our case.”
Then the servant was worried, and he was regretful in this matter, and
he said he was in a helpless condition. All the Sufi people attacked me
with mutual advice, rendered me helpless, and beat me until I died.So
you think in this matter that if you put liver among the orphons and
expect that it will be safe and secure, then it is not possible.

The Suif told him, "Yes, they have taken the donkey by force from you,
but they have created problem for this poor person. Whether it was not
possible by you that you came to see me and inform in this matter. But
it was not possible with you that you might not be told by me and
informed in this matter and this indigent person, that they have taken
 123

the donkey. Until they were here, there were possibly even 100
endeavours in this matter. But now all have gone from here. So who
should I apprehend and bring to trial?
The servant told him “ Yes they have taken from donkey by force from
you For God's sake, I came there to tell you many times, and there
came a thought in mind to tell the story of their work in this matter. But
you also engage in singing with fondness and joy that “The donkey was
departed, the donkey was departed." When I heard this song on your
tongue, I thought this was the content of the Darwesh, and he was
agreeing to the going away of the donkey. So I went away from you.”

Explation :The Sufi told the servant of the shrine that when all people
were singing in good voice, there came to me fondness and joy to sing
this phrase in this matter.
It is regret that I have destroyed by following those people, and there
will be a curse on such following. Especially following for those useless
persons who have lost their respect for the bread.

3.The story of the poor person

One poor and houseless person was put in the prison.He was most food
eater as such that he used to eat away food of the all prisoners.So for
this reason nobody did not able to get food full of the stomach in the
prison of the bread. And he was so clever and used to snatch away
breads as such that nobody did not know in this matter.When there came
agent of judge to prison to inquire into in this matter. Then prisoners
have told him that “Upon saying to the judge salam to judge and inform
the problems faced by such person all of prisoners.That the problems of
the mean person, and his cleverness of hand, overeating, causing
 124

trouble-some. And for this reason no prison could not able to eat a loaf
of the bread in the prison. And when there will be make 100 excuse then
he will present there then that over eater of food will come there. And
he will give argument in this matter that Allah told to have ate. And the
cruel person like sound of the bee will come there on each and every
food of the dish like bee there. And against him the food of the 60
persons is nothing.If you say something then he will become deaf in this
matter. May Allah possible to available shadow of the learned person
and to take out this bafellow from the prison or from Wakf
(endowment) fund sanction of his daily ration.Dear sir due to your
justice all men and women are happy and satisfied.Kindly settle our
problem in this matter. The kind advocate went to see the judge and was
mentioned to him all compilaints separately and precisely. The judge
has called the prisoner into his office. And enquired into the case by
help of his subordinates in this matter. And he was found compalints of
the prisoners as correct. The Qazi (judge) told that poor prisoner to
vacate the prison and live in your house. The prisoner told that “Due to
your kindness my house is prison and like infidels’s heaven is your
prison house. If you take out from prison by declaring as curse then in
that case I will die due to hunger and thirstiness and poverty.”
The judge has given order that to make round of the person in the city
and announce that this is poor person and disrespect person and no
person should not give him loan even by his forgetfulness .And next
time if any person will claim with proof then he will not put the person
in the jail. And his condition of poverty is proved. And he did not have
any kind of cash and grains stock with him.
At that time servants of the judge brought the camel of the wood cutter
in the office of the judge. The helpless Kurd person was made much
loud and cry and was given one Wang (one dollar) to the policeman as
bribe. But there was not benefit to him. And he has to sit on the back of
the camel. And the camel owner was running behind of the camel.In
this way there was round of the prisoner in each street and locality of the
city. And till as such that all people of the city was able to know and
 125

identify of the prisoner well and clearly. The people of each bazaar and
public bath rooms were able to him well in this matter.On the beat of the
tom tom there were found people of Kurd, Shami and Tazi people. And
all these people used to make announcement in loud voice that this
person has no shelter and thief of the breads and much shamless, and
he is very poor and he did not have anything with him. And no body
did not give even Dang also. And his manifest and innermost is empty.
He is poor and deceitful person, and he is like faulty and defective.
After long publicity of the person when Kurd was got down from
camel and then the camel owner said that his place is far from here and
it will take much time to reach there.Since the morning time you was
sitting on the camel. And there is more tiredness of digging of the grass
upon me. The poor told him that “Whether you have understood why
there was round about me in the city and what was happen in the day
time. Are having sense or not,? Whether you do not have in your mind
light thing.You have heard clearly in this matter. And even till the 7th
sky there was done publicity of my poor condition, it is known that due
to your greed you did not heard in this matter. As greed will make a man
deaf. Even d and stones were heard that this man is poor and with
disrespect. The people were busy from morning to evening in this matter
but owner of the camel as he was involved in the greed so he was still
thinking that from this poor person perhaps he will get rent of his camel
from him in this matter.

4.The killing of mother for sake of disrespect

One person for sake of disrespect was killed his mother by his fights and
daggers. Some person told him that “Oh unfortunate person you have
killed your mother and forget your right toward mother.it is sad oh
unfortunate whether any person will his mother. Why you did not say in
this matter.at last what was reality in this matter. And what she has
done. He told that she has done in which there was his disrespect. So I
 126

have killed her for this reason.so that dust can save her respect in this
matter.
She was attached with one person. So do I have killed her for this
reason. The person of complaint told him that “ Oh unbashful person
why did not killed that sinner person.” he told that then he has to kill
every day one person. So by killing her he was save from killing each
and every day. The thorn of her mouth is better than thorn of the mouth
of the mankind.
Explanation : Oh dear your soul is such center of bad habits and his
problem is find at all sides. So kill it in this matter. For such mean dog
you have intention to fight some or other person at all times. And for
this the green world has become tighten for me. And the god and
mankind is not condition with you in agreeable condition.If you kill
your soul then you will be free from sins and bad deeds in this matter.
Then there will be not remain your enemy in the whole country.

5.The testing of two newly purchased servants by the king

One king who has purchased two cheap servants and by talking with
one servant and he was found him as wise and sweet voice talking
person. If the lips which are sweet will then the persons will find juice
from them only. The man’s humanity is hidden in his tongue. And this
tongue is incarnate of the veil of the courts of the life.
 The king when he has tested wisdom of the first servant then he has
called another servant for his test. And he has seen his black teeth. And
mouth is not clean. Even though the king upon his seeing his appearance
was unhappy than he began checking his ability and good habits. For
the first the king was allotted his duty. And told go and have bath.And
he told another person to tell about his details. And he said he is equal of
100 slaves. And the king told him that you are seen as per saying of
another person. And our heart has become cold due to your habits. He
 127

told him what that thief, bad person told about me and he is , a eunuch
and not man and what he has told about him.The slave told that “ He
was found always true persons. He has not seen such a true person than
him.In his nature there was find truth.So for this whatever he has told
about me is not correct and if I will say about him will be blame for
him.I will not mention his defects. And instead of it I will kept as
suspect for himself. Oh king it is possible that the defects which you see
in me perhaps in me I do not see in yourself.
The king told him to mention his defects as he told his defects as it is in
this matter.So that I can know that you are my well-wisher. You are
helper and support of my rule and my kingdom.
The slave told him that in him there is faithfulness and m. as
well as in there is truth and m. the most important thing in him is
that he has having bravery and generosity. As such that he could
sacrifice his life. The fourth defect is that he is not person who life
is praise. But he is defect of him. Even though to say defect and to
search defect is bad thing but he is bad for himself and pious for
other persons. The king told him not exceed in the praise of his
friend. In the concern of praise of other do not present your own
praise because if in trail he will be present against of him so there
will be regret for you in this matter.
The slave told that “For God sake there are good attribute and
habit in my friend and associate three times more than my saying to
you. What ever I know about my friend which you do not trust so
what I can do in this matter.”
In this way by talking many matters with the slave the was
successful his trail work. And when the first slave came from bath
room then the king has called him. And he was asked to go the bad
shape slave from there. The king by praising his good look and
good attribute he told him that “It is not know what happen to your
friend that he has told many things about you in your absence in
this matter.
 128

The slave told the king oh great king tell me some hints of his
saying in my favour by the infidel person. The king told him about
two type of attributes that in appearance in his medicine and in
innemrost his is pain.When he was heard this by the king then came
anger upon like river water. And due to anger his face was become
right and bright. So then he has about his friend whatever came on
his tongue.When he began saying bad words to his friends then the
king put his hands on his mouth and told him there was no limit of
it. The king told him now you listen I have done recognation in
both of you well. Your soul is like odur. And his tongue is like
odur. So person of soul of odur you sit away from him and he your
officer and you are under his subordinate.
So for this holy person of Allah have said that “Caring of the
tongue is safety of the human being.” There is mentioned in the
hadith that the recital of manifest is like grass on the rubbish and
have think with good and attractive face with bad attributes is not
having its value. If the face is bad and wicked and if there are good
manners then it is good to die in his feet for this reason.
Explanation “ Oh person till how long you like apparent design on
the water cup so by leaving the design on the water cup check how
is its water quality. So you how long like beauty of the face so you
should demand of the meaning and searching of the meaning in this
matter.

6. The breaking of a wall brick by a thirsty person

There was one higher wall at the side of one river. And on this wall
water, so there was sitting one thirsty person there.And who, due to the
heat, was become extremely thirsty. And who was in bad condition for
his thirst for water and he was in condition that was not possible for
control by him due to this reason.And he lacked resources. And that
wall was making it difficult for the thirsty person to get to the water to
 129

person. Due to his condition of the experiencing he was in uneasiness.

So he was taken off brick of the wall and was thrown on the water, and
the water sound heard was from water which as sweet as the voice of
the beloved. And threre a created condition of intoxication and joy in
him for this reason. The person in trouble found much attraction in the
sound of the water as so that he began breaking down the wall bricks
and throwing in the river water. The water on his tongue was saying,
"Oh good gentleman, what is your benefit in this matter by throwing the
bricks at me?" The thirsty person was also giving a reply in this matter,
saying, "He has two benefits in it, so he will not stop his work of
throwing the wall bricks in the water. The first is to hear the sound of
the water from a thirsty person, which is better than the sound of the
music of a Rabab (a kind of stringed musical instrument). The second
benefit is that the number of bricks that I will break off the wall will put
me near clean and pure water. Because when there is a breaking of the
tall wall, then it will become lower level in this matter. As a result,
lowering the level of the wall will bring me closer to the water. As a
result, there was a need for a meeting in this matter.
What is prostration and which is the removing of the bricks set in the
wall and cause of nearness as per the argument of the Quran? The
prostration which says "Wasjudu Waqtarab" and its meaning is
nearness, and unless and until the neck of the wall be higher then it will
not allow it for prostration. So unless there will be no salvation of the
body of earth until the man can't get prostration before the water of
immortality in this matter,
Explanation: Oh, my son, think of the youth period as an important
thing. And have prostration. And break clod and brick from your wall
in this matter before coming of age; your neck may be tied in the tight
rope. And if there are strong roots of bad habits, you do not have the
power to remove them in this matter.

The Rumi story book part six

1.The plantation of the thorns by one person on the way

One person who was sweet tune of talking with hard heart has planted
thron by him on the public way. The persons who on that way used to
scold and curse him and ask him to removed the plantation but he did
not removed thorns on the way. The position of plantation of thorns was
as such that day by day it will grow more and more in this matter. And
for this reason by c of the thorns in the foot of the people there was
discharge of the blood day and night. When the ruler of the area was
heard this unmannerliness act of the person then he was given him order
to remove of the thorns soon from the way. Upon this also the person
was not taken any action in this matter.And he was given reply that yes
he will do this work in his any of the spare time.
In this way he began postponing this work on the next day and by
passing of the time thorn planation was grown very much on the
strong basis.
One day the king told him oh breaker of the promise fulfil your
promise. So now do not touch your e in this matter. You said for
tomorrow so you should know that as the time will pass more and
more then for this reason the tree of the bad deed will also grow
more and more fresh and strong in this matter. And remover of the
plantation will become older and older for this reason. So do not
neglect and do not miss this opportunity in this matter.

Explanation : Oh my friend your each and every bad deed is like

thorn plantation. So you should regret in this matter and seek
salvation and number of time people are facing suffering due to bad
deed and people are in tight position due to your bad habit.But still
your eyes are not opening in this matter. So the suffering of other
 36

person is due to your bad habbit. So let it this but whether you
don’t know feel your wound of your hurt in this matter.

2. The illness by Hazrat Zanoon Masri

Hazrat Zanoon Masri made pretend himself as patient and his
friends came to visit him at his house. And upon this event he was
become mad due to passion in this matter. So for this reason people
could not bear his condition and he was imprisoned in the prison.
As the rule of country was in hands of g person so for this reason
Hazrat was undergone imprisonment. There is rule that when the
pen will be in hands of g then holy such person as Mansour will be
hanged.When there will be rule and power in unwise hands so for
this there will be happened events of killings of the prophets of
Allah.
In short Zannoon was reached to the prison by wear h in his hands
and b in his feet. The devotee persons from all four sides came to
the prison to visit him and ask his condition there. And they have
given their opinions about his madness and treatment of the prison
persons with him. That he has become mad by his intention and or
there may be his wisdom in this matter. He is leader of the lovers
on the way of love. And he is sign of them in this matter. May
Allah protect from such wisdom which thinks about his love and a
as madness.

When the friends came to visit near him so by hearing their

conversations he told by seeing them that who are there and they
should not move further? The person told him with respect that we
are his devotees and came to see him to asking his health condition.
Oh person of perfection and river of wisdom what is your
condition.? How there was lable of the madness on your wisdom.
Do not keep hidden this event with us and explain to us in the
detail. We all are your well wishers. And do not keep this secret
with your friends. So tell us clearly and precisely in this matter.
 37

And do not have q of your life. When Zannoon has heard such
conversation then he thought except trial there is no way in this
matter. So he began saying bad words and vowls g to them. And
like mad person he has started saying this and that words without
meaning and sense. And immediately he has taken from there
wooden stick, stones and whatever other things he can get in his
hands and began throwing upon them. Upon seeing this situation all
persons due to fear fled from there.
Hazrat Zannoon then laughted and shaked his head and he said to
one darwesh that “See these devotee persons and they are not
friends as the friends treat the difficulty of the other friend as most
important and caring as per their soul. And there will be not find
difficulty of the friend as hard and tough but difficulty will be like
m and fridenship will be as p of it.
Explanation : Un happiness on the trail and difficulty and problem
is sign of the friendship.The example of the friend is like gold and
trail is like fire. And pure gold by burning in the fire will become
good color and will become wihout fault as well as in good shape
as well as good design of the attraction and magnetism.

3.The trial of Khaja Luqman

Even though Khaja Luqman was slave and as well as he was also son
of slave. He was a pious and free from lust and greed of the world. His
owner who was in appearance who was holder of him but in reality was
able to know his position and status. And who was become his slave by
heart for this reason.He want to make free him from his possession but
 38

Luqman want to keep his secret in this matter.The owner does not want
to do any work against the will Luqman. He has such love and devotion
with Luqman that when servant used to send him meals then he
immediately send to Luqman for his eating. And so that he can eat the
remaining left over food by him.
That owner used to eat food left over by Luqman and be happy and
joyful in this matter.Whatever food Luqman does not used to eat then
owner used to throw away.If he would eat food then halfheartedly and
without hunger.The situation has become as such that once when
Luqman out of the house then at that time by chance one watermelon
was sent by some body in the presence of the owner. He told one of his
servant to call his son Luqman. When came and sat before him.Then the
owner has taken knife in his hand and began cutting the watermelon and
was given him one piece of it. He has ate the piece of watermelon with
fondness and interest. So the owner has given him second piece and till
as such he ate the 17th piece by his fondness and interest in this matter.
When the 18th piece left then owner has told that he will ate it so that he
can able to know how sweet and tasty it is.He has ate with such
fondness and taste that in the mouth of other person there came water.
So they want to ate it.
When the owner ate it then there he found watermelon in it and for this
reason there was created in his throat the taste of watermelon. There was
created sourness on the tongue. And for a period one hour he was in the
taste of sourness of the watermelon. Then by surprise he was with
Luqman oh my dear why you have ate this poison.? And why you have
accepted this sour watermelon as taste of sugar.Is this any standard of
patience.? And why this patience in this matter.? Perhaps you are
enemy of your life.You have not ignore by making any excuse. You
would said that you have some excuse in eating of this fruit.
Hazrat luqman said please wait for some time. That I have ate much
things by your hand of grace as such that I would become regret in this
 39

matter and I would become double. So oh person of knowledge of Allah

I would be regret not ate one thing of sour by your hand. All of my
parts of the body were grown due to your kind favour.And are in
inprison of your grains. And if make loud and cry for sourness of one
fruit then there will be fall soil of 100 ways upon me all body parts due
to my ungreatfullness by Allah in this matter.
Explanation : Your hands of giving sugar does not left any sourness in
this watermelon. so that I can make complain in this respect.
3.Moses and shepherd story

One day, Hazrat Musa was passing on the way, and he heard the
supplication of one shepherd, who was saying, ‘O God, where are You,
that I may become Your servant and sew Your shoes and comb Your
hair? That I may wash Your clothes, kill your lice, and bring milk to
you, O worshipful one; that I may kiss Your little hand and rub your
little foot, and when bedtime comes, I may sweep your little room.
If you become ill, then I can serve more than just relatives. And to kiss
your hands and rub your feet. When you go to sleep, I will clean your
bedroom.

And if I see your house, then supply ghee and milk in the morning and
dinner without a gap. Butter and oily bread, as well as tasty curd and
buttermilk, are all things I will prepare and supply to you on time in the
morning and evening. In short, my work is to supply you, and your work
is to eat my presents. All my goats are sacrificed upon you. In your
memory, my uneasiness was increased very much."
The shepherd was saying such matters, and Musa asked the person to
whom he was saying all these things in this matter. He told that person
who created us and made the earth, moon, and stars. Hazrat Musa told
 40

him, "Oh, worse person, you have become an infidel instead of

becoming a believer." What is this absurd talk and language of the
infidel? And what useless talking you are engaging in in this matter! So
you put cotton in your mouth. Your infidelity has spread throughout the
world. And your infidelity has made a hole in the brocade of the religion
of God. And socks are good for you. So why are these required by the
suns of the world? If you do not stop this kind of conversation, then the
fire of humility will kill all mankind in the world. If you knew Allah as
a judge and empowerer, you would not have followed such an absurd
style. As you stated, Allah is exempt from such service. Oh, fool, who
else are you saying these things to? Whether you are telling your uncle
and other relatives. There is no requirement of body or need among the
attributes of Pure Allah. The milk should be drunk by the person whose
age and body will increase and decrease. And socks will be required by
such a person, who will have feet."
"Oh Musa, you have shut my mouth," the sheriff said with regret, my
soul is burning. And upon this, he tore his clothes. And he has taken a
deep sigh and vanished away into the jungle.
On the other side, there was a revelation from Allah, in which it was
said, ‘You have parted My servant from Me. Did you come (as a
prophet) to unite, or did you come to separate? Oh Moses, you have
separated one of our slaves from us. Be careful not to put your foot in
the separation. We gave each and every person a distinct inner nature.
And we have given a different language to each and every person. The
matter that is good for him is not bad for you. And that matter will be
beneficial to him, similar to the effect of honey. And which will have
the effect of poison in your favour. The light is in his favour, and it will
be like fire in your favour. The rose will bloom in his favour, but it will
be as sharp as a thorn in yours. We made purity and impurity, hardness
and softness, all separate.
I have not made this mankind for my benefit in this matter. And the aim
in this matter is to provide the benefits of my perfection. The Indians
 41

like their language like people from Sindh like their own language. I
will not become pure by the recital of mankind, but from the mouths of
men will come pearls, and it is from these that they will become pure in
this matter. We do not see anybody’s statement or manifest. We see
only a man's innermost self and his condition. Oh Musa, there are
different rules among the wise people. And the rules for those who are
disappointed and discouraged and their lives are also different."
When Hazrat Musa heard this warning from Allah, he went into the
jungle to search for the shepherd in an uneasy condition. By recognizing
his footprints, he has searched very much in the whole jungle place. It is
a method by which the footprints of insane people differ from those of
other people. At last, he was able to find him. And he told him
congratulations were due to you, and you got permission. You do not
require any rule or regulation in this matter. You can say whatever you
find in your heart. And your infidelity is the relationship. Your religion
is the light of your soul. So you have total forgiveness. Even for your
sake, the world is safe in this matter. Allah has granted you forgiveness
in this matter, oh person. So you can say whatever comes to your tongue
without hesitation. The shepherd told him, "Oh, Musa, now I have
ignored such conversation. Now I am in the blood of my heart. And now
I've gone even further away from a lote tree in Paradise, the heavenly
mansion of the angel Gabriel, which is called sidratul-muntahaa,
covering a distance of many lakhs of miles. When you have struck my
horse with the whip, he is turned, and in one jump he is covered from all
sides. And my condition is too serious to mention. And whatever I am
telling you is not my condition in this matter."
Translation: Oh person, it should know that the person who praises
Allah and your condition are not better than that sheep. You are
defective and affected by the defective life of the body. Your condition
and actions are all defective and wrong. This is only through the
kindness and mercy of Allah that he may accept your defective presence
in this matter.

4.The snake enters the mouth of the sleeping person.

One Turkish person was travelling on his horse, and he saw a snake
enter the mouth of the sleeping person. When the traveller saw it from a
faraway place, he ran very fast. So that he can save the life of the
sleeping person. But he could not find any chance to save the sleeping
person there. He couldn't possibly know what to do in this situation. So
for this reason, he strikes some punches at the sleeping person. So the
sleeping person jumped from his sleeping position and saw one person
punching him in an unstoppable manner. So for bearing his strike, the
sleeping person ran from there and the Turk was running behind him, so
in this way, the sleeping person was ahead of him and the Turk was
behind him. And at last both of them reached under an apple tree there.
There were many apples falling from the tree here and there.
The Turkish person told him to eat apples as much as possible and to be
careful in this matter. The Turkish person ate as many apples as
possible, which caused vomiting in that person, and as a result,
everything eaten by that person began to come up in vomit. That person
cried aloud and said to him, "Oh Turk person, what have I done wrong
to you that you have become an enemy of mine?" If you want to take
my life, strike me down with your sword. What was that bad time that
you have seen me? In this way, he began to cry and say bad things to the
Turkish traveller in this matter. Turk then started beating him with
punches to his body. And in the body of the sleeping person there was
pain, and he was tired from this beating by the Turkish person. He used
to catch the truk person in the evening and start punching him all over
his body.Until such time as he is affected by it. And all things were
eaten by him, and water came out of his mouth. And a snake also came
out of the food particles and water. When he was seen coming out of the
snake's stomach, he began shaking due to fear and astonishment. All the
 43

pain caused by punching was gone from his body immediately. He was
fallen at the feet of the Turkish person, and he began saying to him that
"You are an angel of mercy or a friend of grace from the side of Allah."
I would have died, but you have given me new, fresh life. Oh, my
master, oh, my king! And, rich person, if you had said something in this
matter, I would not have abstained from you, but your silence made me
angry with you. And you began striking your fingers against my head
without saying anything to me. Oh, pious person, forgive me. Whatever
was told by my mouth without knowing facts in this matter may be
ignored."
The Turk told him that "If I had told you in this matter, then, due to fear,
your gallbladder will be shattered due to fear. And due to fear, there will
be left half your life with you. And at that time, you will not have the
energy to eat apples with you, nor will you have the condition of
vomiting. So for this reason, I have learned to tolerate your absurd
talking and have patience. It was not proper to tell you why I was
striking and punching your body. As well as the fact that it was not
possible for me to leave you in the jungle alone in this matter,
Explanation: Oh, dears, this will be such kind of the enmity of wise
persons. And the poison given by them will give nourishment to life in
this matter. In the friendship of unwise people, there will be sadness as
well as misguidance in this matter. For example, hear the story below.

5.The unwise persons’trust in bear

One snake was pulling one bear toward himself.One dilawar wrestler
was passing from there and he has seen this and he was become ready to
help the bear in the difficulty. When the bear cried with hard grip of
snake then at that time Dilawar came there he was able to free him the
bear. Dilwar was know stake and screw as well as power with him. So
he was killed snake. He made snake helpless with his stake-screw as
such that the bear was safe from death of his body. There will be found
 44

much power and strength with snake but he did not know stake and
screw. In short bear was freed from the grip snake in this matter. The
bear thanked the powerful wrestler Dilawar. And then he was attacked
with him like dog of the people of Kahaf. That person was tired so for
this reason at one place he was slept for taking rest there. And the bear
for sake of his love started taking care and guarding him during his rest
and sleeping time there. When one person saw him then he was asked
“Oh brother who is this bear.” So he told him all the story of snake in
this matter.

The traveler told him “Oh unwise person do not have trust on the bear
as the friendship of unwise person’s friendship is worse than his
enmity. So remove him from your side by any trick which is possible in
this matter. He was replied the travler that “By God’s swear you are
saying this due to jealsy and you are not seeing his love in this matter.
The man told him love of unwise person will be affected soft talking.
But my jealsy will be better than his love. The wrestler told him that “
Oh good person I am not less powerful than bear.So leave this matter as
I am your friend. The person told him that “ His heart is in fear so do not
go with bear in the jungle area. As my heart is having fear and shaking
which is not doubt in this matter. But it is light of Allah.It is not false
claim and it is not pride of the useless thing. I am believer person and
I will see by the light of Allah. So see in this matter and be alert in this
matter and go away from place of fire. He told him “Yes” but the
unwise did not heard anything and acted upon his advice in this matter.
A mistrust will become a big lizard of the wall. The traveler told him
that “When you did not accept advice of friendship then I will say God
bye to you and leave your place.” He told him to follow your way and
 45

go from here. And from where you came here and taking care of him.
While leaving the place the person told him again that “ I am not your
enemy”. There is your good in this matter that you accompany with me.
He told him that “There is coming sleep for him so you leave me there
and go on your way.”

That person was unwise and and reckless. And due to his foolishness
he was blamed the wise person’s advice and he thought the bear is a
puppet of love and faithflllness. At last the Muslim person left from
place of unwise person. And by reciting in his heart Lahulwala Quwat
( give up) and followed his journey on his way. And he told in heart
that when there will be insist and force of advice so there will be
increase mistrust in this matter.So there will be stopped the way of
teaching and lesson then it will right to keep away from such persons in
this matter.

At the side that person was slept there and bear began keeping away
the bees from side of the sleeping person and the bear began keeping
away from that person for many times. And bear began coming away
bees for many times. The bear kept away coming of the bees on the
mouth of the person and the bees were coming back and sitting on the
mouth of the person and at last due to tiresome work he went at one
place. And he was brought one big stone from the mountain. He has
seen that there came many group of bees and were sitting on the mouth
of the person and attached with the mouth of the person. So he has
thrown big stone with his intention that the bees group should not fly
and should not come on sit on the mouth of the person. So he thrown
stone on the mouth of the sleeping person. So for the reason the mouth
of sleeping was become like granul of poppu and made the proverb for
 46

the whole world that unwise person’s friendship is equal of the love of
the bear. So his malice is equal of kindness and his kindness is exactly
malice.

6.The paying of the attention of mad person to Galen

The Galen asked his disciple to give him such and such medicine to
him. One told him that is medicine is given for the cure of the mad
persons. So it should be kept away from your life and whether you eat
this medicine. He told him yes because toward him one mad person has
paid attention. He was gazed at him for some time. And after some time
he was strike on his eyes. And after that he torn my sleeves. If he could
not find in me signs of same sex then he would not have pay attention
toward me in this matter. When ever two persons met then it should be
considered that there is some common thing is found among both of
them. Any bird will not fly in the other group of the birds. In this
explanation of its example one person said that I have seen on crow and
k both were sitting at one place in good atmosphere and in fondness in
nearness.upon seeing I have drown in thinking that what common
relation which brought both of them togetherness and nearness in
friendliness. In such surprise when I was reached near them then I saw
that both were lame birds.
7.The illness of companion and visit of the prophet
Among the companion of the prophet one prophet was become ill and
he will become s and was turned into like dry thorn. The prophet was s
of kindness and mercy. So for this reason he went to visit his
companion. Due to visit of the prophet that companion was got life.
 47

Like Allah was given him life at that time. He began saying that this
illness was increased my fate that in early morning the king of time
visited me. So oh this illness and this difficulty and fever was such
become lucky for me and this pain and waking of the nights how m for
me.
The prophet has asked the patient where you have prayed any unsuitable
supplication for you in this matter. And by mistake you ate poison. So
remember about your supplication and in which deceive of the soul you
have involved. The patient told him that I could not remember about it
but due to your courage I could remember about my supplication. At
last due to light of the prophet he was able to know about his
supplication in this matter. the light which will separate from reality to
false which shine from that r and which passed from one heart to
another heart. He told him hear I was able to know the supplication.
Which was said by me without thinking in this matter. I was in the
coverage of the sins and drowned in it and trying my endeavours by
hands and foot. You used to warn the criminals against severe
punishments. And you are telling them about fear of the punishment of
the sins. And from this I was become uneasy. There was no patience
upon my condition. And there was no way of salvation. As well as there
was no hope to free from sins. And there was no chance of fighting in
this matter. And there was no helper except Allah .My doubts of the
hearts were increased very much. I used to say oh Allah give me
punishment of my sins soon in this world.So that I will be from
punishment in another world. I was insisted on this supplication so soon
there started my illness and my life was began diminishing and there
was stared discomfort to me.Now daily recital and remembrance of
Allah was no more with me. So I was gone away from good and bad as
well as relatives and unrelatives.If I will see your face then I would
have killed in this matter. You have paid royal help and assistance, the
prophet told him be waran against you do not make supplication and do
not rooted life of your tree in this matter.
 48

Oh ill c where you have power to bear illness of big mountain upon
you. The companion told him that “Oh Sultan I have promised that next
time I will say any thing without thinking.Oh guide of all guides show
us guidance in the desert. And due to your kindness advice us in this
matter. The prophet advice the patient to made supplication with Allah
to decrease your problems. Oh Allah in this world and in other world
provide comfort and goodness at the both places. Our aim is you self.
Like garden and orchard make the way comfortable for us.

1. The revelation of Allah to the prophet Musa for visiting his

friend

Allah revealed to the prophet Musa the reason for his failure to visit his
lover (Allah) in this matter. There was rebuke for the prophet Musa, and
in it it was said to him, "Oh person, you have seen the sun rise from
your pocket. And we have made you our light of the east, and in spite of
that, I became ill, but you did not visit me at that time." The prophet
said, Oh, pure master, you are free from loss and downfall. And in your
complaint, I could not understand what the point was. Then there was a
given order that I was becoming ill, but for the sake of love, you did not
ask me about this matter. Then Musa told them, "Oh, my Lord, there is
no decrease in you. And due to your question, I have lost my wisdom.
So solve this problem in this matter". There was a given order that my
accepted slave is ill, and look carefully into this matter; his illness is my
illness. And his helplessness is my weakness."
The person who wants to sit with Allah has to sit with holy persons of
Allah. And if you are away from the company of holy persons, then
think in this matter that you are killed. Know in this matter that you are
part and not whole. When Satan keeps a person away from a holy
person’s group, he puts him in a helpless condition so that he will break
his head and eat his mind.
Explanation: It is not good to separate for some time from the group of
holy persons of Allah because it is deceiving the Satan.
2.The eviction of three people from the garden
One gardener has seen that three people have entered in to his garden
like thieves. One of them is a Fakhia (alearned person of Islamic
 35

jurisprudence) another is a Syed (a Muslim claiming descent from

Mohammed's grandson Husain) and the last is a Sufi( mystic person)
and each one is arrogant and headstrong as well as disobedient and
obstinate person. He thought in his heart to punish them all in reality in
this matter. But all are united and this group is strong. And I cannot
fight with all of them in a single way. And there is a trick that must be
applied in this matter to separate all of them.
Upon thinking this first, he called the Sufi person and told him to go to
his house and bring blankets for your other two friends. When the Sufi
person went from there and covered some distance, he called his friends
and told them, Oh sir, your f and this other is a Syed person, and
continued his conversation that, as per your fatwa, we ate bread. And we
fly on the wings of your wisdom. And the other prince is our king.
Because he is Syed and belongs to the noble family of the last prophet,
Hazrat Mohammed (peace be upon him). But what is there p of s on the
sufi person so he can live with you as kings?When he will come back in
the garden, treat him like cotton. You both can stay in my garden in
Szechuan. Dear Sir, what is garden for you and I have given it for your
charity, and even my soul is present in your service in this matter? and
even you are my right eye. And in this way, he made them happy. The
gardener then went at the approaching person with a stick in hand. and
caught him and told him, "Oh Sufi person, like a dog, you are entering
the garden of another person in a disrespectful way with much diress."
Whether you have learned this method from Hazrat Ibn Juniad or Ba
Yazid, we advise you. Tell me from which shaykh and which peer you
learned about this matter. As previously stated, this gardener was
severely beaten to the point of death and broken his head.
The Sufi told himself in his heart that the problem that came upon him
had passed away, so now, my friends, take care of yourself in this
matter. You have treated an unrelated person. But I was not unrelated to
that guy. Whatever I have suffered, and I am sure you have also faced
such problems, There is no doubt that this bad person should be
punished.
 36

When the gardener gave punishment to the Sufi person, he followed

another trick and asked the Syed person and told him, "Oh, syed sahab,
you go to my house, bring a sweet dish and a roasted dish of goose for
your lunch. So you call on him, and my servant girl will hand over
sweet and roasted goulash to you. When he has sent a Syed person, then
he says to a Fakhi, Oh, person of religion, you are in reality, and I have
belief in that Fakhi person. But your friend, who is claiming to be an
undocumented immigrant without a legal identity, And nobody knows
what his mother has done. In short, he has scorned this person very
much. The Fakhi person was sitting there silently. And gardener went at
the back side of the slain person. and he has stopped him on the way. Oh
donkey, who called you in the garden? whether this message was
delivered to you by Allah's prophet.The kid of the tiger will be a kid.
And tell me what you have against the prophet of Allah. Then that bad-
natured Gardner has done such misbehaviour with that syed person that
it could not be done with sons of the prophet of Allah by Khariji
persons. When that Syed person became ill and weak, he told Fakhia,
through tears in his eyes, "Oh friend, you are now alone."Now there will
be beating on your t-shirt such that it will become a drum. If I am not a
Syed person and am not able to earn your friendship, then I am also not
worse than such a cruel person in this matter.
The gardener, upon handling a Syed person, then turns his attention
towards a Fakhia person and tells him, "Oh, Fakhia person, you are the
leader of all bad persons. Oh Allah, make him lame, and whether there
is your legal opinion that to enter the garden of any person without
permission And there is no need for coming or leaving permission.Oh,
bad nature person, whether you got this legal opinion from Imam Abu
Hanifa or Imam Shafi. Was the permission you heard in the book of
jurisprudence?And/or you have read this issue in the book Muhit, and
by saying such matters, he began beating strongly to the Fakhia person
as such that he was cleared of his anger in this matter. and Fakhia told
him, There is no doubt you have rights, so do not apologise for beating
me. This is a punishment for someone who will be separated from his
 37

friends. This punishment is not enough for him, as he deserves 100

percent more punishment than this. For my own safety, I have separated
from my friends.
Explanation: The person who will be separated from his friends will
suffer such problems and difficulties in this matter.

4. The construction of the house by the disciple

The disciple was build his house and his spiritual master came to house.
For examination the spiritual master he has questioned him “Oh friend,
you why have ventilation in your house? And he told him that there
come air in the house. The spiritual master told that it is there for it, but
there should be real purpose in this matter that comes from the sound of
the prayer call. There will be light inside automatically, but you have an
intention like that there should come prayer call, which is eligible for
you.
Explanation: This is the point for which there is a teaching in the hadith
saying of the prophet of Allah that the actions of a man depend upon his
intention.
4.The finding of the secret of Bahlul by the questioner
person was saying that he is in need of one wise person so that he can
take advice with him in the time of difficulty.some body told him that in
our city except that made shape person there is not find any other
person.See that person who is sitting on s and he is running and playing
in the group of the boys day and night. But in the innermost he is hidden
treasure in this matter. The questioner by trick has asked question with
Bahlul oh trooper you turn your horse toward this side for some
time.bahlul by turning his horse toward him and told that to say in hurry
as his horse is in speed and fast running. So say soon so that it may
 38

strike you by his foot. Whatever want to ask so ask soon.When he did
not find situation to say his heart secret then he began joking with
him.And started to find the secret of bahlul. He began saying that I want
to marry a woman so for such person like which type of women will be
suitable for me. He told that in the world there are three kinds of women
are there.two are k and one like currency of time sr. so if you marry with
her then she will be live your wife in complete way. And the other will
be live half wife for you and half will be separate with you. And last
kind woman be remember that she will not be bl yours. Have you
heard.so keep away. I am going with my horse may not kick you as such
that you may fall. And you may not stood till a.
Hazrat Bahlul by running his s horse went from there.But the young
man called him oh Hazrat where you have gone.? Come on here. As you
have told three kinds of women so tell sign and identification of these
women in this matter. He has stopped his horse. And he said if the
women is unmarried then she will become whole for you. And you will
be no worry in this matter. The woman whom I told half wife is widow
woman. And about her I told you that she is out of category of wife duty
is widow woman of children and who has children from previous
husband. And for this reason her love and interest will be toward them
in this matter. so go away from there so that may my horse may not kick
you here. And there will be left sign of shoes of my horse on your body.
Shaik made slogans of ha ha ho ho and by turning his horse he went
toward the boys.
The questioner called and he said that oh my king one question is left
so tell and go from here. He turned his horse and told him what is that
question ask soon. See that boy was taken my ball. The man told him
oh king in spite of such sharp wisdom and intelligence what kind of
net of deceive you have spread in this matter. You are ahead even of
wisdom. And in your conversation you are far away from sun of the
world. And why it was hid in the madness.
 39

He told him that these np have taken decision in this matter I should
become judge of the city. When I have done excuse in this matter
they insist and told me that there is no person knowledge in the city
like me.Then they told me that against of it that some other person
less knowledge implement order of Islamic law and which is illegal
and ns. They continued that while your living the Islamic law not
given permission to us to made judge and our judge any other person.
and due to this helpless condition I was become mad and began wt.
and due to this reason this group due to their helplessness left my
edge of the shirt in this matter.
Even I seems to disturbance of my mind in apparent way but I am in
same condition which was in the previous time. And wisdom is like
treasure and deserted place.If I will show my treasure to the general
public which will be madness in this matter. So I am of mine of
sweet and field of sugar cane. And crop of sweetness which is
cultivated for which I used to eat it.
Explantion ; Some time it will happen that it seems good for wise
persons to hidden their wisdom in this matter.

5. The police commissioner's order to the wine drinker

One night, one police commissioner, by his round of visiting the city,
reached one place. And he has seen that one person was sleeping by the
wall. He told him that “It seems that he is a wine drinker. And told him
to tell what he has drunk.? He told him he had drunk whatever was in
the jar. The police commissioner has asked to clearly explain what was
in the jar. He told that which he has drunken. So he told him that you are
telling the matter in a hidden way. He told him again, What have you
 40

drunk.? And answer it. That wine drinker told him once more what was
in the jar.There was questioning and answering with both of them. And
the police commissioner was stuck in this matter in the mud like a
donkey. The officer told him to open his mouth and say ah," and the
wine drinker opened his mouth and began saying ho ho. The officer told
him that he had asked him to say oh, and he was saying ho,ho. So the
officer told him again, ah, I have asked you to say it, and you are saying.
ho, ho. The wine drinker explained that ah is said in times of pain and
agony, and ho,ho is said in times of happiness.
The officer told him, "I do not know what all this stands for, and do not
say too much. The wine drinker told him, "Oh, go out from here; I do
not know who you are and I am whom.? The police commissioner told
you that “You were a wine drinker and to come to jail. "Oh officer, go
away from here whether anything is kept with mortaged with person
without money," the wine drinker said.If I have energy with me, then I
should have to go home and this event will not happen then. If I had
consciousness and wisdom with me like a foot, I would have arranged
any shop; then why was I found in this place?

6. The awaking of Satan to Hazrat Mavia for prayer

There is a tradition that Hazrat Mavia sleeps in his room on one side. He
was tired from meeting with the people. And he was closing his room
from the inside, and suddenly one person woke him up and vanished
from there. He told himself in his heart that no one could enter his room,
so he searched the entire space to find out who it was and who had done
such mischief and bravery in this matter.And made rounds in it. And at
last he found the person who had been whisked away from there and
who woke him up. He noticed a person standing behind the door with a
curtain covering his face.He told him who are you? And what is your
name?" And he told them his names were Almashrah and Iblis. "Why
was he waking him up?" he inquired.Say the truth and avoid giving false
 41

reasons.He told him that "There is time for prayer, so you have to reach
the mosque. Even the prophet himself has a string of the pearl of
oneness advice like this, and it means "To perform prayer as soon as the
time for the prayer has lapsed." He told him that there would never be a
reason for you to guide me in pious work.Is it proper to enter a house
while disguised as someone else and claim to be there to guard it?Why
should I believe the thief's words?And the thief was unaware of the
advantages of manual labor.You are a big robber and thief. And you are
showing kindness towards me. Iblis told me that I lived like an angel
and was passed on the way of worship, and I was passed on the way of
the heart and soul in this matter. I was acquainted with the secrets of
mystic persons and friends of the persons living on Empyrean. So old
habits cannot be changed soon in this way. The habit of loving will fade
quickly from the heart.During the journey period, I have seen Rome and
central Asian countries, but how it will go is with the love of the native
country's culture and its impression on the heart. I was an intoxicated
person after of this wine. And a lover of the great shrine of Allah. Amir
Mavia told him that all these matters are the truth but are not in your
share. You have misled many millions of people. You have entered the
Treasury through housebreaking. And you have a fiery personality. And
without burning, there is no another option in this matter. There is
nobody whose edge of the shirt was not torn by you. Do not have
unnecessary matters, and upon me there is not possible your control.
You are the thief, and I am the businessman on the journey. If you bring
doubtful things by deceit, how can I purchase such things from your
side in this matter? Oh, fraud personality, tell me what your aim in this
matter was—to wake me up from my sleep? And your tricks in this
matter are no longer possible with me.So tell me your aim clearly. Iblis
stated that if a person is mistrustful by nature, he will not accept truth
even if presented in a 100 percent systematic manner.In every heart
there will be thinking, and for this there will be an argument, so that
matter will become strong and firm with him. Oh, pious person, what is
your complaint with Allah? And weep about the mischief of your soul.
You are eating sweets, and due to a defect of blood, there will be
 42

inflammation, you will have a fever, and your health will suffer. As you
are not looking at what you have done and so cursing Iblis, who is not at
fault.
Amir Mavia told him that unless and until you will not tell the truth, I
will not leave you. And if you say so, then you will get salvation from
my possession. "Oh thinking person, you have full doubts about your
ability to distinguish between truth and false," Iblis said.Amir Mavia
said that the prophet has given its identification. And he was shown the
touchstone of truth and falsehood. He stated that telling the truth would
result in a heart defect.And with truth, there will be satisfaction. And
from false matter there will be no satisfaction in the heart. Like the
mixing of water and oil, there will be no light. As with true matter, there
will be satisfaction of the heart. As truth is grain for the arrest of the
heart's cock.I have cleared my habits and manners of lust. And I have
left a loaf of lust, and now my conscience is so clear that I can separate
truth from falsehood. Oh dog of curse, reply to my question. And do not
play tricks on truth or falsehood. And tell me why you have woken me
up. As a matter of fact, you are my enemy. You, like Poppy, have a
sleeping pill habit.But you are like wine, and your wisdom vanishes. See
that I have caught you by four nails.
Now tell me clearly, and do not make excuses in to matter. I know truth.
I want to hear conversation by that person as per his natur habit. As the
Satan is unrelated have not have hope that he wake wil up me for the
sake of pious wrok. In short, Satan said many things about deception
and fraud, but Amir Mavia did not hear them.And he had done much
harassment on him, so he told him by pressing his teeth and saying, "Oh
person listen, I have woken you up.So you,at you by followng of your
prophet to participate congregational prayer and if the prayer lapsed
then you will make much loud and cry due to pain and grief of the
lapsed prayer and there will be passed tears full of bags from your two
eyes in this matter. Every person has one kind of passion fondness of
worship. And with out it he will not have not patience and peace. And
that pain and grief will be equal of reward of the 200 prayers. So in the
 43

prayer and in the light, excuse what is related in this matter. So if your
prayer will be lapsed, then you will weep for the sake of regret and
excuse and make much noise and cry in this matter. Then for that regret,
excuse, and apology, there will be an excess of the reward of 100
recitals of Allah and prayers in this matter. I am having enmity, and for
this animosity, I have to wake you up.
Amir Mavia told him that
"Now you have said the truth, and this is your work, and for this work
you are suitable. You are a hunter of spiders and bees; oh, dog, I am not
a bee. So do not have trouble with my hunting. And I am a white falcon,
and for me only the king can hunt. So how can a spider spin a web
around me?Your intention in waking me up was to keep me asleep.And
you have shown me a boat that was in the whirlpool. You were calling
me towards that good deed for me, which was to keep me away from the
best of the good deeds compared to the first one in this matter.

THE END.

The Rumi Story book part 8

Shaik Jalauddin Rumi’s Mausoleum in Konya , Turkiya

1. The regret of one person for missing the prayer in the mosque

One person was entered into the mosque, and he has seen that people
are going out of the mosque, and he has asked whether congrational
prayer is over. And one person told him that the prophet had performed
the congrational prayer. Oh, fool, where have you gone? The prophet
has performed the prayer after saying Assalam Alaikum. When he heard
 45

this, he said, Oh, so, and then smoke passed out of his body. And due to
his regret, there was a smell of burning of blood in his body. Upon
seeing this, one person in the mosque told him that “ Oh, person who
lost the prayer, give me your regret to me. And I will give you the
reward of my prayer for you.” He said, I have given you my regret and
accepted your prayer in this matter. Another person who has accepted
regret with much respect and honoured that person with humility and
tenderness was returned to his house. He was only a falcon before, but
due to his search, he became the noblest species of falcon, and in the
night, he heard an invisible call in his dream it was told him that you
had purchased the nector, and due to the honour of your purchase and
exchange, Allah accepted the prayers of all mankind in this matter.
2. The running of the thief by custody of the house owner
One person has seen one thief in his house, and he ran behind him as he
was tired and had perspiration all over his body. When chasing the
house owner, he reached near one thief, and another thief told him`, "Oh
gentleman, come on here. And see here a sign of dangerous thing here
by turning soon, and when the house owner heard this voice, he was
feared in this matter, and he told in his heart that perhaps another thief
was killed there. Or he will attack him from behind.And it is possible
that the thief will catch his family members. So then what will be the
benefit of catching this thief? Upon thinking this, he left the chase of the
first thief. And he came by again to see the second thief and told him,
Oh, kind person, why are you crying? The thief told him, "See the
impression of the feet on the thief here, and it is sure the thief was gone
on this side. And its search details are there. So by following the
impression, you go to this side. The house owner told him, "Oh foolish
fellow, what you show me is an impression of the foot of the thief, as I
had already caught the edge of the shirt of the thief with my hands. And
left the thief due to your loud cry in this matter. And thought you were a
donkey-type man, and you have spoken absurdly. I have found reality in
this matter, and what is your impression of it? Are you a bad man or a
foolish person? It is possible that you know a real thief in this matter.
 46

You know the whole story. I have control over my enemy. And you
have freed him from my hands. By saying that there is an impression of
the foot of the thief.
In this story, there is an explanation, like in the tradition of Amir Mavia,
and this is the second allegorical story that teaches us that by giving one
greed for one thing, one can be kept you away from real welfare. So
that he may live in loss instead of gain.

3.The construction of mosque Zarar by infidels

 Listen one more example of bad deeds so that which will enter into
heart it means you can know it.Such wrong practices the infidels used to
play with the last prophet Mohammed peace by upon him. They used to
say that come on to build one mosque to uplift the status of the religion
of the Islam. In reality that was a house of fraud and deceit. So they
have started construction of one mosque in Madina. And they build
room and floor of the mosque. And corrected the direction of Qibla (The
qibla (Arabic: ‫ِقْبَلة‬, romanized: qiblah, lit. 'direction') is the direction
towards the Kaaba in Mecca in the Sacred Mosque which is used by
Muslims ) was to creat difference among Muslim people. They went
into presence of the prophet with seeking flattery, fishing for a
compliment, and the aim with them was seeking flattery, fishing for a
compliment and requested him to put his foot in the mosque so that it
will become blessing and may Allah keep your name till the day of the
judgment. This mosque is safe and secure from sunlight and water in
this matter so that there may find a place of rest and comfort to the
travelers.
Before the prophet of Allah they could not do any magic but have
shown before him coercion, and ignorance in this matter. They are
involve in seeking flattery, fishing for a compliment so that the prophet
can visit this new mosque in Madina. The prophet was merciful
messenger of Allah and he was smiled and said to them yes and did not
 47

said to them anything. The prophet has counted good deeds of the group
and was confirmed the invitation of them and made them happy in this
matter. Inspite of deceit of the group intantly it was known the fact to
the prophet as such that he has seen like hair in the milk.So by ignoring
the hair, the prophet began praising the milk of the persons. When it was
decided to visit the mosque by the prophet then there was call of
humility of reality to him in which it was said to him that he should not
hear matter of the fraud persons. As such that whatever there pretend the
situation in reality is not same and their aim is except sin and no good at
all and whether fire worshippers and Jews never liked the religion of
God. They build the mosque on the bridge of the hell. And they have
also played a matter of deceit and fraud. And their aim is to creat
difference among the companions of the prophet. Then there was given
order by Allah to show their unfaithfulness clearly.
The prophet told them “Oh persons of unfaithfull group you should keep
quiet.You people have bad innermost with you and you are enemy.So
leave me in this matter.When he has shown to them their some hidden
secrets then that group was finished. And the representatives by saying
God forbid and God forbid by them they have left the prophet of Allah.
After this each person of infidel group by hiding the Quran in his
armpit brought and sweared on the Quran before the prophet and they
sweared on each and every matter on the Quran and which is practice of
the misleading people. As these people are not firm on the religion. So
for this such excuse and trick which will break their swearing in this
matter.
They were away from light of revelation.So for this reason they used to
swearing and swearing in this matter. As Allah made swearing as shield.
So the fighter how he can leave shield. Then the prophet has made
argument in this matter and told them liers and when it was proved by
witness that it was not mosque but it was house of Jews for making
deceive and fraud so the prophet was given order to destruction of the
house and place garbage.
 48

So we should know that reality is original rule. And in it also there are
difference and f in this matter in both of them.
Explantion :Oh gentle man check your manners upon the touch stone.
And see it that whether he is not construct the mosque of Zarar.There
was made much mocking for the people of the builders of Zarar
mosque. But when you will look upon your acts then you also find
among the builders of Zarar mosque.

4. The talking of the four Indian persons in the prayer time

The four Indians entered the mosque, and they began the start of the
prayer. And each and every person said Allah Akbar separately as this
beginning call of the prayer. And each and every person, with much
sincerity and latent inflammation, was engaged in the prayer. When a
muezzin came in to the mosque and who used to call the people to
prayers there in the mosque, one of them told them, "They have given a
prayer call". Another person told with sincerity that there was still time.
You talked during the prayer time, so your prayer was cancelled, as the
third person told him. The third person told the second person, Oh, blind
person of wisdom, why have you taunted him so you can see yourself in
this matter? The fourth one said, "He did not fall into the well by talking
in the prayer time." And in this way, the prayers of all four people were
lapsed for the above reason.
The person who watches the defect of the other person will usually
become misled. The person of felicity will see his own defect rather
than the defect of the other person. When another person notices a flaw
in another person, he considers that flaw to be his own. Because if there
is no such defect in him, then he should be the carefull in this matter and
it is possible that such a defect may be found in him.
 49

5. The killing of a dacoit, one person among two persons

At some place, the most dangerous dacoits used to live there and were
well known for killing and dacoit. They came to one village for robbery.
They caught two wealthy persons of the village and wanted to cut the
neck of one of them. And tied the person’s hands and feet to cut his
neck by sword, and that person told them, Oh, persons like kings and
great wealthy persons, why do they want to kill him in this matter?
What is the reason and wisdom of my killing? I am a fakir and a naked
person. The dacoits told him that "There is reason and wisdom in this
matter: upon your killing, there will be horror on your friends, and then
they will tell us details of your wealth due to fear of losing their lives in
this matter. That person told them that “ He was more poor and in a
helpless condition than him.” One Turk told us that “There is doubt
among us that he is a wealthier person.” That person told me, "If you
have doubt in this matter that we both have wealth with us, then arrest
that person and kill him so that I can inform you of the details of wealth
by fear in this matter."
To see this favour of Allah, we came into the world in its last phase.
To make known that merciful God has explained to us the
destruction details of the nations of Ad and Thamud and Allah
killed them because we must have fear in this matter. If it is the
opposite of it, then where will my living place be?

6. The old person’s complaint to the doctor

One old person has complained to the doctor about his short memory of
the mind.The doctor told him that this was due to his old age. Then he
told him that in the eyes there is no clarity. The doctor told him that this
was also due to his old age. Then he told him that there was pain in his
waist. The doctor told him that this was also due to his old age. Then he
 50

lodged a complaint with the doctor that there was a problem in the
stomach. The doctor told him that this is also due to his old age
problem. Then the old person told the doctor that there was a problem in
the respiratory system, and it was not proper.
The doctor told him that when there is old age, it will cause a person
to have 100 diseases. Until such time as there are problems with the
respiration system, Then he told him that there is pain in his feet and he
had become useless, so I could not walk properly. The doctor told him,
"Oh, old man, the old age has made you sit in the loneliness.” The old
man told him that “There was pain in the waist.” The doctor told him
that “This was due to his age”. Due to his upset, the old man told the
doctor, "Oh foolish fellow, you are repeating only one phrase. Whether
you have only this in your study of medicine in this matter Oh, foolish
person! Allah has made a cure for each and every disease. You are like a
foolish donkey, and due to your lack of knowledge, you are left over on
the earth, sleeping on the earth.” The doctor told him, "Oh, old bad man.
This anger is also due to your age. When all your parts of the body
become weak, and for this reason, there is no power of patience and
control in all your body parts, And if one does not have the power of
patience, he will make loud noises and cry in this matter. And who
could not drink one sip of the water? And he will vomit it.”
But that old person who is a lover of reality and who has pure life with
him. And such a person is old in appearance, but in his innermost being,
he will still be a child in this matter. How will there be messengers of
Allah and holy persons of Allah? They will be like this.

The End.

1. The mourning of the boy upon his father’s death

One boy was mourning and weeping very much upon the death of his
father. And he was beating his head. And he was saying, “Oh, my
father, where are they taking you.? They will put you in a tight and dark
pit in the earth and where there is no carpet or mat. There is no name or
sign, as well as any arrangement of light in the nighttime or meals at all.
 35

And there is no opening or closing of the door. There is no neighbour to

help you. And your body is the kissing place of the people, so why are
they putting you in the dark and black place? That place is so tight, and
it is not suitable to leave there. And in it there will be a go away colour
and freshness of the face.” And in this way, he was explaining the signs
of the grave. And there were falling tears of blood from his eyes.
Upon hearing these mourning details, one joker told his father, "Oh,
father, by God's swearing, it seems that it was taking a funeral to our
house.” The father told the joker, “Oh foolish person, what you say
matters, which is not proper in the situation.” The joker told him to
listen to the signs that were told to him by the diseased’s son. He told all
the signs one by one. And it's sure that all signs match our house in this
matter. As in our house, there is no mat, lamp, food, doors, courtyard,
upper storey building etc.
Explanation: These kinds of signs of the lesson are found in the
presence of people. And due to their revolt, they did not see this matter.
In such hearts, there will not be the greatness of Allah. They are dark,
like the souls of the fire worshippers. So like such a part of your heart,
the grave is better. Oh, person, come out of the grave of your heart.

2. The Bedouin who filled bags with sand for the weight balance
Oh, hearer of the right matter You hear one story of the simplicity and
wise natures of the men. One bedouin has filled bags of grain on one
side, and on the other side he has filled sand, and he was sitting in the
middle of this load. On the way, one talkative person met him and began
a conversation with him about travel and stay details with kindness.
Then he asked the traveller, "Oh, gentleman, what is loaded in the two
bags on the camel? The Bedouin told him that "In one bag there is a
load of wheat, and in another bag there is a load of sand in it. Then he
asked him why he
 36

has filled another bag with sand. So the Bedouin told him that there
should be equal balance between the bags on both sides. And there
should not be a weight on one side. He told me to take out half the
weight of the first bag and put it into another bag, so there would be an
equal balance in this matter. And there will be no extra weight on the
camel for this reason. The Bedouin told him, "Well done, oh person of
knowledge, but in spite of such good wisdom and opinion, you are
wandering in the jungle without necessary things with you and walking
on your feet. There came mercy to the Bedouin to ask him to sit on his
camel, and he asked him, Oh, good style of wise person, tell me your
condition of living. As you are wise and have good insight with you.
And it is possible that you are the ruler or minister of any place.
The man of advice told him that “He is not a ruler or minister, but a
poor person. So the appearance of my dress and condition are proof in
this matter. The Bedouin has asked him, how many cows and camels are
there with him.? He told him there were no cows and camels with him.
Then the Bedouin asked him, What is business for you.? Whether you
are having a shop. He told him there was no house or shop with him.
Then again, the Bedouin asked him, Do you have cash and a stock of
grains with you.? And you have all the world of the copper, and you
have its chemistry with you to make it gold. As you have a heap of
pearls of wisdom and knowledge with you. Probably in your house will
be many treasures. The wise person told him, " Oh rich person of
Arabia, in his kingdom there is no ration of food even for one time. So
for this reason, he is walking with naked feet and in the naked condition
of my body. So that I will become a servant of that person who will
provide bread for me. I could not get anything from wisdom,
knowledge, or skill, and by thinking, I could not get anything except
headaches in this matter.”
 37

Upon hearing this, the Bedouin scolded him and asked him to go away
from him so that his bad luck effect would be upon him in this matter.
So

take away the bad luck of your wisdom and knowledge, and your
sayings will bring poverty upon the world.

1. The story of the person who claims that Allah did not take
account of his sins
 41

The story of the person who used to say during the time of the prophet
Shoub that Allah saw his many sins and crimes but, due to his kindness,
did not take account of his sins Allah, by an invisible source, has sent
his reply to the prophet Shoub, saying, "Oh person, you have left the
right path and have entered the jungle. You say that I did not take
account of your sins. But I used to take account of your sins as such that
you were under chains from head to toe for this reason. But you did not
have information in this matter. Oh, black, your black colour is there on
your face for this matter. And which has blacked out the face of our soul
for this reason, so there is no light in this matter. There is rust on our
souls as well, and due to seeing the secrets of Allah, your eyes have
become blind.

If there is work by the blacksmith, there will be much rust on the face of
the person in this matter, and such a person knows about sins from many
days, so for this reason, he will not regret much with Allah. If one
person commits sins and does not repent in this matter and then has an
argument about it, there will be dust on that person's mind in this matter.
And he will never be sorry in this matter until he begins to love his sins.
And he will become an outlaw of the religion. And then he does not
have matters of shame and regret with him. There will be eight levels of
colour rush on his mirror. And till such time that there will be an effect
of rust on the iron tools of that person,
When the prophet Shoeb said the above points to him, in his heart some
points had been opened in this matter, as his soul was also hearing
revelation of Allah in this matter. So he told them, "If there will be a
grip of Allah on him, then how will his name remain in the world?" The
prophet Shoeb told Allah that "he is refuting his saying by him in this
matter. And he is asking for open proof of your grip, and Allah told him
that he was keeping a record of defects. And I will not disclose all his
secrets in this matter. However, I will say on the sign of his arrest that
he is the keeper of the fasting and prayers and the giver of Zakat
 42

(Islamic religious tax), and his soul is away from all worship. He is a
great worshipper and doer of many good deeds. And his innermost is
black. Like a tree on which many fruits are found but in which there is
no kernal. For the relationship to work, there must be mutual affection.
In the fruit there is required kernal so that from it there will be growth of
trees. Like a seed without kernals, a soul with life will be like an
imagined figure.
When the prophet Shoeb told him all the above points in this matter, he
remained like a donkey while thinking about it and remained tied in the
mud in this matter.

2. The carrying of the bridle of the camel by mouse

One mouse found the bridle of the camel by chance. So for this reason,
he was proud that he was carrying the camel's rope in this matter. So the
camel moved fast in this matter. So the mouse began thinking that he
was also strong, like a wrestler.
When this thinking was known by the camel, he intended to teach the
mouse in this matter. By walking, they have reached the bank of a big
river. Where even the elephant can drown in the river water. Upon
reaching there, the mouse became afraid and became cold. The camel
told him, "Oh, friend of the jungle and mountains, why have you been
stopped?" And why is there surprise in this matter? Come on and enter
the river bravely. You are a leader, and you used to walk before. And do
not stop or lose hope in the middle of the way. The mouse told me that
"the river is very wide and full of water. So I fear being drowned in the
water of the river for this reason." Then the camel told me I would go
into the water and see the water level in the river. And he has put his
 43

feet in the river water and told me, "Oh, blind mouse, the water level of
the river is as per his knees. So why have you been surprised and
worried about this matter?"
The mouse told him that "the thing that is before you is an ant and is
like a big snake before me. As there are different kinds of knees. If
water is at your knee level, then it is many yards over my head in this
matter. At that time, the camel told him, "Do not be rude again to me, so
that there will be fire in your body and soul. You can show your pride
before mice, but not before me. Do not open your tongue like a camel."
The mouse said, "He will repent for his mistake in this matter, and for
God's sake, take me away from the river crossing safely and securely.
And save my life in this matter." So there came mercy from camel upon
mouse, and he told him to sit on his hump. It is my work to cross the
river, and I have crossed many thousands like you.
 If you are not guided, then follow and walk the prescribed way. So
that one day, from the well, you will reach a position of wealth and
position. If you are not king, then become subjects of the king. If
you are not familiar with moving the boat, then do not become a
sailor. To do the service of an elixir, a powder or mixture is
supposed to turn metals into gold and silver, like copper. Oh, heart,
engage in the service of your lover. Who is my lover? The holy
person who takes men from one place to another at a higher grade
3. The scolding of a big Sufi person by his friends
By the scolding of a big Sufi person by his Sufi friends, he came into the
presence of Shaik and told him, "Oh, our leader, kindly do justice
among us and in him. He has asked them what their opinion is of him.
They told him that he had three bad qualities. They said that he is a very
talkative person, like the bell of the camel carvan. The second defect is
that he used to eat food for twenty people. When he would sleep, he
used to sleep like a cave and not wake up for a long time. The sufi
person has explained the above three defects with much explanation.
 44

The shaik said that "we have to follow the middle way in each and every
condition." There is a saying of the prophet Mohammed, peace be upon
him, that there will be good work as per the method of the middle way.
When the time for reply came, the sufi person told him that "even
though adopting the middle way is a wise thing, the middle is also
considered as per some link in this matter. like river water, which is less
when there is a link or connection with the height of the camel. And the
same is true for the mouse in this matter. The food ration of one person
is four breads, and if he ate two or three, then it would become the
middle quantity in this matter. and if such a person eats four breads,
then there will not be a middle food ration. If one person eats ten breads,
then if he eats six breads, then it can be said that this is the middle way
of food rationing. I have a food ration of 50 breads, and you did not eat
six breads. You will tyre in ten rakats. A rak'ah (Arabic: rakah,
pronounced [rakah]; plural: rakat) is a single iteration of prescribed
movements and supplications performed by Muslims as part of the
prescribed obligatory prayer known as salah. Each of the five daily
prayers observed by Muslims consists of a number of raka'at. and I did
not tyre for 500 rakat. So in this way, you did not check your weakness
upon me. The thing that is night for you and in my favour is day for me
in this matter.
4. The searching of a tree by one king for everliving
One wise person has stated in his story that there is one tree in India,
and if any person eats its tree, he will not become old or ever die for this
reason. Upon hearing this, the king believed in this matter, and he began
a trail to get fruit from that tree in India. He has selected one wise
minister in his cabinet and sent him to India in this matter. He went to
India and visited every city, island, mountain, and jungle. When he has
asked for addresses in India, everybody laughs at him in this matter.
And in this matter, the people told him that except for a mad person,
nobody would search for such a tree. But he will hear every person’s
opinion and talk, and he did not stop his search and endeavours in this
 45

matter. So for this reason, he travelled for a long period of time in

search of the tree to get its fruit for his king. The king was sending him
regular expenses. When there was more difficulty on the journey, he
slowed his expedition. because he could not get the address of the tree.
The aim in this matter was to remain only as tradition and news. So he
has lost hope in this matter. Whatever he has searched for has become
nothing and useless in this matter.
So in a helpless condition, he began his return journey with much
difficulty and disappointment. On the way there was used to live there
one great shaik of time and qutub and learned person. As his heart was
broken in the search, he went in the presence of Shaik of time. He
thought he was disappointed from all sides and that he could get some
help from the shaik of time in this matter to solve his problem and get
back on track.
As I am away from the right path. And I hope that due to the
supplication of the shaik of time, I will be on the right straight path. In a
short while, with weeping eyes, he went into the presence of Shaik, and
like a raining cloud, he began weeping, and he told him, "Oh Hadrat,
this is the time of your help and kindness for me, and I am disappointed
from all sides and came into your presence at last. This is the time of my
salvation. The shaik told him to explain the matter clearly and what the
matter of disappointment was. What is your aim and what is your
endeavour in this respect? In reply, he told him that "the king has given
him order to find the treat, whose fruit is property of the AH." and for
many years of my search, I could not find the tree, and I could not get
taunted in this matter.
Upon hearing this, Shaik began laughing, and he said, "Oh, good man,
this is the tree of knowledge. And you guessed correctly about the tree's
condition. And you did not understand the real meaning of this matter.
Somewhere, its meaning will betree," and at some place, its meaning
will be sun. and some time its meaning will become sea. And some time
it will become cloudy. And it has 1000 attributes in it. And BD is one of
 46

its attributes in this matter. Oh young man, why are you searching for
manifest? but you search for its meaning. The face of the manifest is
like the skin of the fruit. And its meaning is g of the fruit. And leave the
name and count for attributes. So that by attributes you can get guidance
in this matter. Due to name only, there were differences in mankind.
And when they find meaning, there are no more differences. On this
essay, I hear an interesting saying that you may not be left behind in the
discussion of the name only.

5. The praying by the Shaik in the hot desert

In the treeless land, one ascetic person of Allah was busy in prayer. The
haji persons from different countries came there in the caravan, and
when their looks fell upon him, for this reason all the haji persons were
surprised in this matter. They have seen that all the land was dry, hot,
and desolate without trees. The ascetic was praying on such hot sand,
and from its heat, the water in the cauldron will boil in this matter. The
ascetic was standing on the sand like any person would be standing in
the garden in ecstasy. He was engaged in conversation with his Lord of
the World about secret matters, and he was engaged in deep thinking.
The group of haji persons were there till the end of the prayer of the
ascetic person. When that fakir was out of sight, they saw that there
were falling drops of water from his face and hands.
 It was seen that his dress was wet due to the completion of the
ablution(sacred ablution performed before prayer, and which consists in
washing, first the hands, then the mouth inside, then throwing water on
the forehead, washing the whole face, the arms, and lastly the feet)
 47

. The haji persons have asked him, "From where did the water come? By
raising his hand, he said that the water was coming from the upper side.
Then haji persons asked him whether you will get this water always or
at the time when your prayer is accepted by Allah. Or whether at some
point the prayer is rejected. Oh Sultan of Religion, solve our problem so
that our belief will be improved due to your condition. As we worship
the sources so that we can get away from such idol worship in this
matter. The ascetic looked at the sky, and he said, "Oh Allah, accept the
supplication of the haji persons.”
As you have opened the door for me at the height. As a result, I have a
habit of demanding my sustenance in this matter.”
 Still, the ascetic person was engaged in the supplication because
they had seen that one cloud-like water carrier elephant who had
come on the head of the haji persons. And there was a startling fall
of water from water skins and a large leather bag for holding water
(generally carried on bullocks), a water bag. Rain was falling from
the sky in the form of water skins. And the thirsty haji persons
were filling their water skins for this reason. In the desert, one
group of Haji people has broken the secret thread of their hearts for
this reason. And the second group saw Allah's and holy people's
power grow in this matter. There was also a third group of infidels,
and they remained as raw fruit, like sour fruit, and they were
always defective in this matter.

The Rumi story book, part 11

1. The saying of Hazrat Bilal Haiye for Hai

If your saying is not straight but the meaning in this matter is right, then
that thing is acceptable in the court of Allah. And if your meaning is not
right but there are good words in the conversation, then there is no use
of meaning in this matter.
There was a mistake in the pronunciation of Hazrat Bilal. So at the time
of a prayer call, he used to say, "Haiye for Hai." As such, some people
have told the prophet that such a start to Islam is not good. So there
should be an appointment for one prayer caller who has the right
pronunciation. There is a defect in the start of the Islamic religion due to
the wrong pronouncement of ‘Hai al Falah’. When there was increased
anger from the holy prophet, he told them, "Some points by his inspired
knowledge and he said, "Oh unwise persons, saying of the Haiye by
Bilal for one time with Allah, which is better than saying ‘Hai al-Falah’
by you as well as your controversy. Do not make me more angry;
 53

otherwise, I will reveal all your secrets from the beginning to the end in
this matter.”

2,There was an order from Allah to Prophet Musa to call him

by such a mouth that has not done sin.
At the time of supplication, if you are not engaged in the worship of
Allah, then go and ask any clear innermost person for supplication in
your favour. And for this reason Allah told oh Musa Kalim Allah, "You
take help of such a mouth that who did not have done sin. The prophet
Musa told Allah that I do not have such a mouth with me. So there was
an order given by Allah, then go and ask the clear innermost person for
supplication in your favour and as you have not done sin by the mouth
of the other person. The mouth by which you have not committed sin
may be another person's in this matter. Follow such an act for which
many people may have supplication for you day and night in your
favour. If this is not possible, then clear your mouth. And wake up your
soul. The recital of Allah is pure and clean and where it enters there,
then un-purity will go away from there. Everything will go away due to
its opposite thing.As a result, where there is light, darkness will flee.
When there is a pure name on the tongue, for this reason, there will not
be the previous mouth or such a sinner attribute in this matter.

3. The saying of the helpless person Allah, Allah, and a reply by

Allah
 54

One night, one person was engaged in the recital of Allah, so that his
lips could become sweet by the recitation. Satan told him, "Oh, stupid,
stop it. Till how long you will be engaged is absurd talking. As you are
saying in repeat of Allah, Allah, whether you have received any reply
from the side of Allah in this matter. If there is no reply from that side,
then by this face of weeping, how long will you continue by saying
Allah,Allah.?"
That person’s heart is broken, he has let down his head due to worry,
and sleep has prevailed upon him. He has seen that there is a sitting
prophet, Khizer, and he has asked him why you left the recital of Allah,
Allah. whether you are ashamed of this recital of Allah in this matter.
He told him that "he did not reply from the side of Allah." He is worried
about whether there is a closed gate of court of Allah for me. The
prophet Khizer told that "Allah told him that, oh deceived person, one
who will engage in the recital is ‘Labaik’ (yes, I am present) of Allah in
this matter. The pain, humility, modesty, and meekness that are created
in your heart are our envy in this matter. I have delegated this work to
you in this matter. I have engaged you in my recital. Your love of Allah
and fear of Allah, which were created in your heart by me alone and are
my favours, when you say "Oh Allah, oh Allah," in which there are
hidden many labiks in this matter. The tongue of ignorant will be kept
away from this recital. As there is no system of saying "Oh Allah, oh
Allah with him there. As there is lock on his mouth and heart, so that at
times of difficulty he should weep by saying, "Oh Allah, oh Allah.”

4.Making of a friend from the city by a village person

In the past, there was friendship between the villager and the city
person. The villager would visit the city, then fix his tent near the house
of his city friend. He used to be there as a guest for two or three months.
He used to be found always in his shop and in his eating cloth. The city
 55

man will fulfil the requirements of the host as per rules and tradition in
this matter. One day a villager told him, "Oh, brother, why did you not
come to the village side for excursion purposes?" There is a swearing to
you that you come to our village side along with all your family
members and friends, and this is the season of flowers and buds. And
the best spring season is there in the village atmosphere. If this time is
not possible, then come to visit our village in the summer, when there
will be fruits on the trees everywhere in the village. So that, at the time,
I can do some more service in your kind favor. You come along with
your family members, servants, and relatives to the village and stay and
have a rest for at least four months. During the spring season, there will
be a fine freshness in the jungle area. And in the fields, there will be
crops ready for cutting. And all the earth in the village will be filled
with red, yellow, and other flowers.
Upon hearing this conversation, the city gentleman used to say only yes
with his tongue. And in this matter, he will excuse him for some or other
reason. Sometimes he will say that this year guests have arrived at our
place from such and such an area or place. And some time he will say
that next year, if he finds spare time from his work, he will come to your
village for his excursion purpose.
Every year, the village friend used to reach the house of the city friend
like a heron and live in the house of the city person. For the sake of his
duties as host, the city friend provided him daily, twice a day, in the
morning and evening, with food and other provisions. Due to being
ashamed of his hospitality, he told his guest that until such time he
would keep him in the darkness until he came to the village to become
his guest of honour. The Khaja told him he wanted to move from this
place, but it was under the order of Allah in this matter. The man is like
the boat of the wind, so the wind will take him to any place when it
moves him by the wind to another bank of the river. The villager asked,
giving him many swear words, "Oh, kind person, come to visit our
village and tour our place along with your family members. And he
 56

caught his hand and made a promise in this matter to visit his village
soon and not delay.
One day the children of the Khaja told him, "Oh, dear father, the moon,
cloud, and even shadow used to move from one place to another. You
have performed all your duties as the guest of the village person and did
not leave any room for complaint in this matter. Even you have suffered
hardship and restriction because of the hospitality of your village friend.
So he wants that you visit his village for his hospitality so that he can be
free from the burden of services on his head. So he has requested with
much humility and kindness that we visit his village and become his
guests at his residence in the village, and he has told us to press you so
that you can take all our family to visit his village in this matter. The
Khaja told them that it is right, but there is a saying that you should
"keep away from the mischief of the person to whom you have done
favour."
The village person spread such a net of flattery that his city friends'
insight was shaken. The children of the Khaja were very happy that in
the village they would visit all places of tourism and travel. And they
will play in the jungle and find happiness and joy there.
In short, Khaja made the journey arrangements and went to the village.
And family members have also arranged the goods for the journey in
this matter. With happiness and joy, there was running and playing
during the journey. They were all thinking that in the village there is
grass land and there is a kind host available, and with much fondness
and desire, he invited all of them to his village house. And for us, he has
sown the seeds of favour and kindness. And for this reason, all of them
will stay in the village till the end of the winter season.
The caravan started its journey in the burning sunlight and continued its
journey in the light of the stars of the sky, with so many difficulties on
the way. But they have ignored the problems of the journey due to
reaching the village for their excursion. All were passing the journey
 57

due to the feeling of happiness to reach, and by thinking about feelings

of happiness and joy and comfort, if they see any bird in the jungle, then
we feel much happiness and joy. If they find any traveller on the way,
they will embrace him and ask whether you know our friend in the
village.
In short, this caravan, after a journey of one month, reached the village
after facing hardship and difficulties. Then that village person ignored
all of them and left the village in the daylight to avoid the guests in the
village. The caravan people, asking his name, reached his house in the
village. And they reached the door of the guests, but the guests closed
the door for the city people. Upon seeing this Khaja person, I became
angry and mad. But the anger was of no use at all, as by falling into the
pit, there is no use of anger or madness. In short, this caravan stayed for
five days at the door of the villager. They used to suffer during the cold
nights, and in the daytime they were spent in the hot sunlight. They
were staying there not because of their tiredness or foolishness but
because they did not have any money in their hands at that time. So they
were surprised at what to do there.
It is usually the gentle person who becomes a victim of mean and
miserly people. When there is starvation, they will also eat dead tigers.
In this condition, Khaja, when he sees any villager, will say, I am your
such and such friend, Khaja. And that villager will say, I could not
recognize you. I am engaged in worship and worried about the loan
matter. I am passing by problems and forgetting my own condition,
even though I do not know whether I am living or dead. Then Khaja told
him that for him, these days are like the day of the judgement in this
matter. And at that time there brother will run after seeing his own
brother. He told them about his past services to the village friend. And
he told him, "I am the same person on whose eating cloth you have
eaten many graces of food items of Allah. And our kind of hospitality is
well known all over the world. There is respect for the eating of food by
each and every person in another person’s house. But the village friend
 58

told him that "I do not know you, your name, or your hospitality in this
matter.”
It happened by the grace of Allah that there were clouds in the village,
and much rain fell in the village. And there was such a fall of rain that
there was a spurt of water from the sky. When Khaja faced such a grave
problem as the touching of a knife on his bone, he knocked on the door
of his friend and told the servants to call their master. When Khaja wept
very much, the cruel person came to the door and asked Khaja, "At last,
what do you want to say? The Khaja told him that "I have foregone the
rights of a guest, and whatever I thought, I am ready to leave. I have
faced the difficulty of sunlight and cold for five days, which were equal
for us for five years. But now it is difficult for us to face the difficulty of
the rain fall.So it is good to kill me, and I will forgive you for my crime
of killing you." As well as for night shelter, give us any part of your
house in this matter. And for this Allah will give you reward on the day
of judgement. The place where our gardner will stay will be given to
you, from where he will watch the coming of the wolf. We will give him
a bow and arrow to kill the wolves. If you are ready to perform such
duty, we will give him a place for your shelter.If the wolf comes there,
then you have to kill him with a bow and arrow. If you want to do this
service, then it is good; otherwise, you search for another house. The
Khaja, by holding his hands, said that he was ready to do so many such
services in this matter. Bring and give me that bow and arrows. So that I
can guard the garden of grapes and your animals by waking up in the
night. If I hear the coming sound of the wolf, I will kill him in the same
place. In short, in this condition, a portion of the garden that was empty
was given to Khaja and his family members. The place was very tight,
so it was difficult to go from one place to another. And in that place,
there was an accumulation of rainwater. All were looking upon each
other there. During the whole night they were saying, "Oh Allah, one
has friendship with mean persons and treats bad persons with manners,
and for this there is there is find such punishment.
 59

In short, that city fellow, by taking a bow and arrow, was on duty of the
guarding the garden. In that small room, there were mosquito, bees, and
other insects who bit him badly, but that person had no time due to fear
of the wolf to keep away all these harmful insects in the dark night. So
that if there is any negligence, the wolf will come and cause damage to
the animals in the garden area. So for any such loss, the village person
will come and harm him very much in this matter. So for this reason, the
city person, by holding his finger in his mouth, was watching each and
every place in the garden. Due to tiredness, there was an increase in his
breathing in this matter. By chance, one animal, like a wolf, was seen
among the trees, So Khaja sent away an arrow upon its target point, and
for this reason, animals fell on the earth in an inverse position. And
upon killing of the animal and which fell to the earth, and his brain
was out of the body.

And its sound was heard by the villager in this matter. And he has made
a slogan of grief, and he began beating his head from some distance. He
told that oh-nonsense person it was my calf of my animal. But Khaja
told him that he was a wolf and came there by hiding like Satan. The
villager told me that “I never mistake to recognized the voice of my
animal and you have killed my calf of my animal in the garden grass
area. Khaja told him that you should check well in this matter, as in the
darkness it will not work eyesight properly. And this night is dark due
to clouds and rain. So for this reason, he was seen in the wrong way.
The village person told him that the night is dark for you, but I could
recognize well the of the calf, as this night is like daytime for him.
Upon hearing this, the Khaja became upset and caught the edge of the
shirt of the villager friend and told him, "Oh, false, unwise person, you
have played a long trick in this matter, like a person using opium. As
you know the sound of your calf in the middle of the night, why do you
not recognize me as a friend of yours for a period of ten years? You
used to claim that in your heart there was no news about yourself except
for God. And you used to say that you did not remember what you ate
 60

yesterday. Forgive me in such a condition of ecstasy. You used to say

pride matters, as do beggars works and ecstasies. And you used to tell
stories of the lovers of Allah. And I see no distinction between the sky
and the earth. The humility of Allah has shown your trail in this matter.
The animal’s behaviour has shown disrespect. And show the secret of
your ecstasy. In this matter, Allah will bring disrespect and disregard to
cunning persons. Allah will catch the running away of hunting animals.
Oh, unwise, do not have ecstasy, for upon its completion there will be
regret. But join such persons of ecstasy that when they drink wine, big
wise persons will be surprised by their wise sayings and conversation as
well as their actions.

1.The dog of Majnu and Laila’s Lane

One time Majnu (appellation of the celebrated Arab pat-lover Qais of

the Amir tribe who was expressing extreme love and affection of the
one dog. And he was kissing him. He was behaving very well and
giving him much importance to him like Haji persons used to
circumambulation the holy Kaaba in Makkah with true intention. And in
the same way, Majnu was around the dog of his lover, and so he was
around him in this matter. Upon seeing him in such a condition, one
person in the bazaar told him, "Oh, useless and mad person, what are
you doing?". As the young dogs used to eat waste and unclean and filth
things. And they used to touch their private parts with their tongues. In
this way, he was told of the many defects of the dog in this matter.
As the person who will point out defect does not know other things.
The Majnu (lover) told him that you are a seeker of manifest. So enter
into some depth and see him through my eyes in this matter. He was
sharing his love for my beloved and my owner. And he was the guard of
the lane of my beloved. So think about his courage and selection, and
think about this place he has selected. This place is, for me, a place of
comfort and peace. This dog is from that place. He is my friend and
helper. The dog who is living in the lane of my lover and the dust of his
feet is more important than many tigers. I think the tiger is not equal to
the hair of the dog.
The lesson in this moral story is that “ For this, oh friends, if you
leave the face and reach into the meaning, you will be in heaven for this
matter.”
 64

2. The pride of the wolf who was fallen into the coloring pot
The wolf made his heart happy by his deed, like a person who can
expand his water bag by inflating it with his mouth. As that inflated
water bag can be burst by a small needle in this matter.
Here is the story of how one wolf fell into the colour vessel. And he was
there for one hour. And when he came out of it, the colour changed the
color of his skin. And he said , oh, he had become a peacock now. And
his hair changed to be the most beautiful. And in the sun's light, the
color of the hairs will shine very much. When he was seen, he was in
the colour of red, green, dark-red, and yellow, so he went before other
wolves. And took pride in this matter. All were told him, "Oh, wolf,
what idea came into your head in this matter that you have something
higher than us and you have separated from us?" From where have you
got this pride in your mind? You have passion now in yourself, but you
do not have heat in this matter. You have spread the net through
deception and fraud as well as shamelessness. The colorful wolf told the
other wolf, who was scolding him in his ear, If you see my colors, then
you will not find any idol that is more beautiful than me. Oh, wolf, do
not call him "wolf to me. As no wolf could not get such charm and
beauty in this matter. All the wolves gathered around him. And they told
me, "Oh, person of perfection, what do we have to call you in this
matter?" He told them his name was Peacock. They told him oh peacock
would live in the gardens and show us spring there. So whether you are
from the gardens. He said that he did not dance in the jungle, so why did
he confirm that he would dance in the gardens? They asked him whether
you could make the voice of the peacock. He said "No." The wolves
told him, "Oh foolish fellow, why have you called yourself a peacock?"
 65

Allah has provided the peacock with a colourful skin dress and only by
coloring the skin will not you get the habits of the peacock in this
matter.

3. The making of shine a moustache and lips by fat

The truth and passion of the holy person are against the shield of
fraudulent and shameless people. In this matter, they do not invole such
things to deceive mankind. We are very happy and careless in this
matter and their innermost being is full of worries in this matter.
One mean person was found the fatty tail of a sheet of lamb. And with
it, he began to shine his moustaches and began to claim the pride in this
matter. He began sitting among rich people, and he said to them that
today he had eaten many things and of bread with butter mixed in
dough and for it there is proof, he began touching his mouth. And say
to them that for this reason even mouths are with made fat items.
He used to make claims in this matter about his riches and wealth. But
his stomach is telling him, Oh Allah, open his false pride in this matter.
So that any generous person will fulfil my hunger. At last, Allah has
heard the request of the stomach, and one day one cat will take away
that fatty tail of the lamb. The house hold people ran behind the cat in
this matter but they could not find the fat in this matter.

Due to the anger of the father, his son was very worried about this
matter, and he went to the meeting place of the pride person and he has
disrespected the honor of the father by saying there that the fatty tail
piece by which you used to shine his moustaches and lips has been
 66

taken away by the house cat. We have followed her but have not been
successful in this matter. The flattery person, even at that time, was busy
with his faltering conversation in the meeting place. When he heard this,
he became silent due to sadness. In the meeting place, he was so
regretting that, and he was worried in this matter by letting down his
head. Then he did not move his tongue. The people at the meeting were
surprised, and there was also some laughter in this matter.

But the rich persons have paid kind attention to his condition, and
they began inviting him, and in this way they filled his stomach.
When he has tasted the truth in kind people company, so he has left
pride and become a slave to the truth.
The lesson in this matter is that you should adopt the truth so that you
can get a good name in both worlds for this reason.
4. The bringing of a dragon by a snake player to the city of
Baghdad

There was much pride in the king Pharaoh of Egypt, which is found in
you.
But you’re like a dragon locked in the well.
It is stated that one snake player went to the mountain to catch snakes
there. He was searching for snakes during the season of snow falling. He
has seen one big dead dragon there, and due to seeing the big snake, he
was very afraid in this matter.
The snake player used to catch the snakes to entertain innocent people in
the city and towns. He has collected dead snakes from there by pulling
and he has brought dead snakes to Baghdad to show the people in his
 67

snake show there. The snake was like a big pillar. He has brought it by
tying it to the ropes and to the pieces of gunny bags. And he has said
that he has brought a dead snake. And for it, he has undergone many
dangerous situations, and there was a risk to his life in this matter. He
thought that snake was dead, but it was alive. And actually, it had an
effect on the snake due to the heavy cold and the severe rain fall, and it
was seen as a dead snake, but in reality, it was an alive and healthy
snake. He was calling at the bank of a water tank in the city of Baghdad.
There was spread news that one snake player had brought a rare type of
dragon into the city, which had not been seen or heard of before in this
matter. The snake player was waiting for a large number of unwise
people to gather there so that he could show his big snake to all of them
and collect huge money by his show in the street.
Due to the large number of people, there will be a large collection
amount for the snake player in this matter. At last, a large number of
people were gathering in the street. But suddenly the snake opened his
mouth. So for this reason, the people who were watching the big snake
opened their mouths out of fear and horror. The big snake was affected
by the cold of the snow falling and was packed by the gunny bags and
hidden by curtains, and it was tightened by the strong ropes. On the one
side, there was a delay in the gathering of the people for the snake show,
and on the other side, there was a loud cry of the people for the snake
show. On the third side, there was the shining of the hot sun of Iraq, and
due to its heat, there was no more cold effect of the snow falling on the
big snake in this matter, and all parts of the snake's body were opened,
and that dead big snake began moving in the snake show. Upon seeing
this, people began to yell and cry, and due to fear and horror, all the
people left the area of the snake show for this reason. The dragon has
broken all the ropes due to his force and moved here and there. The
snake was out of the control of the snake player. And he was roaring
like a tiger on the street way.Due to this distress, many people were
injured by running, and a large number of them were killed.
 68

On the side of the snake player, he was much affected in this matter, and
he was also in panic and fright for this reason. He told him in his heart
what he had brought from the mountain area. And I have alerted this
blind wolf in this matter. And I have called my death by my hands. And
after that, the snake ate the snake player. As he was single, eating the
single person was easy for the big snake. And after this snake went on
the pillar, he was stuck to the pillar so much that even the bones of the
snake player were broken into pieces.
The lesson of the story is that your soul is also a snake, and it is never
dead. And yet, due to helplessness, it is shivering with cold. As per the
order of the king of Egypt, Pharaoh, there will be a release of Nile river
water, and if you get such rule and power, you will also rule like the
Pharaoh, and you will attack 100 Musa and 100 Haroon.
5. The identification of the elephant by people in the dark night
The seeing of this by those who were among the Muslims, infidels, and
idol worshippers and who found the difference and cause of this matter
in the other way
 In the other country, the Indians went to show the elephant there. And
they have kept the elephant in a dark room. And the people used to
come in the room and watch the elephant in the darkness, in which they
could not see the elephant clearly. So they have to search for and touch
the elephant in this matter. And one who will put his hand on the trunk
of the elephant will say the elephant is like a small tube or pipe.
 And one who will find the ear of the elephant will say the animal is like
a fan. One who puts his hand on the feet of the elephant will say, "The
elephant is like a pillar. And one who has put his hand on his back, then
that person told that the elephant is like a throne or wooden bed. In this
way, every person is told that the elephant is like that, as per touching
the elephant with his hand in this matter. And the touching of each and
every person is different in this matter. So one person said it was like ‘
D’ and some other said it was like ‘A," and if each and every person has
 69

a lamp in his hand, then there will be no difference in this matter. The
eye is like the hand, and the hand could not have the power to find the
complete elephant. The width of the river and the foam of the river are
both different and not the same things. You should take your eyes off
the foam of the river and see it with your own eyes.
There will be foam in the river's water day and night. And you see it, but
it is very strange that you did not see the river's water.

The Rumi story book, part 13

1. The refusal of Kanan for the call of the prophet Noah

Unless and until there is something said by your soul for you, you
should not say anything in this matter. There is a saying that says to sit
in the boat of the prophet Noah and leave your swimming.
Kanan was a big swimmer, and he began saying that "Noah is his big
enemy, and we do not need his boat. But the prophet Noah told him and
advised him in this matter to sit in his boat so that he could be safe from
evil. But Kanan said, "He knows swimming. I have light with me. I am
not afraid in this matter."
But the prophet Noah told him, "Do not do that; this deluge is a great
problem. And there will be no use of your swimming in this matter. And
your hands and feet will be useless and not be working in such a great
 39

deluge".
Kanan told him that "he will be climbed on the high mountain. But the
prophet Noah told him, "The waves of the winds will put off all lights of
your help and assistance. And in it, except for the light of reality, there
will be no light in this matter at this time". Kanan told him that "he will
climb the high mountain, and the mountain will protect each and every
kind of deluge."
The prophet Noah has given him a warning in this matter and told him,
"Do not do this and that; mountains are like a piece of grass. And Allah
will not give safety to others except his friends." And Kanan told him
that "I have not heard any of your advice till now, so do not expect me
to accept your advice in this matter now". I never like your advice. I am
separate from you in both worlds."

The prophet Noah told him, "Oh, my son, do not become stubborn in
this matter. This is not the time to leave it to chance. As there is no
relative of Allah or any person who can claim equality with Allah.
Whatever you have done, leave it, as this time is very precious and
dangerous. In the court of Allah, no one could show his pride for
anything in this matter."
In short, he was advising him in this matter and calling him towards
him. And he was receiving harsh replies from his son Kanan. Whether
the father did not ignore his advice to his son or his unlucky son did not
accept his father’s counseling in this both of them were busy in the
conversation, and at that time one strong wave of the sea came there,
and it took Kanan like a dry leaf of the tree, and he was shattered into
pieces like a leaf of the tree in the sea water.
The prophet Noah has made supplication in the court of Allah: "Oh kind
and merciful king, my donkey died and my blanket was taken away by
your wave from the sea water. You have promised me many times that
my family members will be secure from the deluge."
 40

It was said by Allah that "he did not belong to your people in this
matter. You do not have a difference between white and blue. When
there is an infection in your tooth, you leave it and remove it. Even
though that tooth belongs to you, you will be upset. And all of your
body will feel pain from that damaged tooth in this matter." The prophet
Noah said that, except for your personality, I am upset by unrelated
people. Which is that unrelated thing that is defeated by you. You know
well my condition with you in this matter."
Allah said again to the prophet Noah, "If you want, I can give rebirth to
all from the earth, and for one Kanan, I will not break your heart. But I
will tell you about his condition. The Prophet Noah said, "No, no, if you
want, then drown me in the water. I agree with you. If you kill me, then
that death will become life for me. I will not see anyone other than you."
The moral of this story is that "one who likes the creations of Allah in
the world will be a person of higher level honor and respect in the
world. And one who likes the thing already made will be in the darkness
of infidelity."

2.The surprise will overcome thinking and discussion

One person of small stature came to the barber's shop. And he told him
to take away the white balls from his bread, as I had just married. The
barber has removed his hairs from the bread and put them before him,
telling him to collect the white hairs from these hairs as he has not much
time to collect white hairs in this matter.
The meaning of the above conversation is that religious people should
not be involved in such small matters.
One person slapped Zaid. And Zaid's desire to take revenge was
attacked by the other person in this matter. The first person told the
other that I wanted to ask you one question, and after that, you could
slap my face as per your wish and pleasure. I have beat on your nape, so
 41

tell me the sound that came from your nape or my hand in this
matter.He told him that, due to pain and difficulty, I did not have time to
think about this matter. You do not have pain, so you think about it.
One who suffers in pain will not think about this matter. As your
condition is without sympathy and carelessness, you think in this matter.

3.The reading of love letter by the lover before his beloved

One beloved called her lover and asked him to sit before her. Then he
took out one letter from his pocket and began reading it to his
beloved.In that letter, there were many lines of poetry in praise and
admiration of the beloved, and also in it, there was a description of his
uneasiness and worry as well as in it being mentioned that he was
unrelated to all of his friends and relatives.The condition of being away
from his beloved, problems of separateness, and details of his love
messages as well as details of his messenger, and these details were full
in his love letter.
He began reading his love letter over a long period of time. So the
beloved told him that “At the time of meeting, you are reading your love
letter, and in this way, you are wasting the time of meeting as well as
your life in this matter.I am present before you, but you are busy reading
your love letter.This is not the style and way of the lovers. So he told
her that even though you are present before me, your attention is not as
such, as I found last year in this matter.I am seeing the spring, but there
is no water in it.It is seen that the way to the spring water was blocked
by dacoits in this matter. The beloved told him, “Yes, now I am no
longer your beloved.” And I am on the attack. And your aim and desire
in Kharasan City.
 42

You are my lover, as well as my condition. But the condition in this

matter is that I am not under your control or approach.So I am not your
target. But I am the house of the lover. As a matter of fact, there will be
love for the original thing, and there will be no love for its box in this
matter.

4. The demand for legal sustenance by one person without

endeavours

During the period of Prophet Dawood, one person used to pray and
demand legal sustenance without endeavours on a daily basis,
saying, "Oh Allah, provide me sustenance without any
endeavours." When you give birth to me as an idle, ill, and useless
person on the injured backs of the horses, donkeys, and camels,
there will not be a load carried for this reason.
So I also need you to provide me with such sustenance without work
and endeavours that I should not ask anything from others except you.
And except for asking you, I should not engage in these endeavours.
For a long period of time, he was asking Allah about this matter on a
regular basis. Mankind, due to his useless desire and wish as well as
force with Allah, began laughing in this matter.

And they say that this long-bearded person is talking absurdly with
Allah in this matter.

Whether someone has given him wine to drink in this matter. As the
method of sustenance is work and endeavours in this matter. There will
 43

be no action against anything in this matter.

At that time, there was rule by the king and the prophet Dawood. And
who is well known for his perfection. But due to his great pomp, show,
and worship, Allah has arranged his sustenance through work and
endeavours. Unless and until he prepares cubits, he will not get his
sustenance in this matter.
But upon this one ordinary and useless person's foolishness, he
demanded his sustenance without work and without commerce, wanting
to fill his shirt with money and wealth, but such treasure was not found
by anyone in the world. As no person will climb the sky without a
ladder. Somebody will joke that we have received good news, so go and
get your treasure. Somebody will say to him, "If you find treasure, then
do not forget him for his share.”
That person who was firm in his prayer with Allah and did not stop his
supplication and his loud cry due to the taunts and laughter of the people
When that person continued the line of his supplication always, then at
last one who hears the supplications of all people has approved his
prayer in this matter.
Whether the supplication is not good and was not made in haste So for
this reason, the caller will at last get his wish and aim by calling in the
court of Allah in this matter. And suddenly there came one cow, and she
broke the door of the caller by her horns and entered the house in this
matter. The cow entered the house without hesitation, and the caller of
prayer stood and tied the cow's feet with rope. Without delay, he
slaughtered the cow and went to the slaughter house so that he could
clear the skin of the cow. The owner of the cow has seen it and was
shocked when his cow, by mistake, entered that person’s house. Tell me
how you have killed it. Oh, innocent bad person, come on, we will
proceed to the court of justice. That person told me that "he used to
collect substances from Allah without my endeavours in this matter.
And used to pray very much in this matter with humility. For many
years, this has been my work of calling in the court of Allah. As such,
Allah has sent me one cow into my house. When I saw the cow, I
 44

immediately stood, as it was his sustenance. And there was acceptance

of my supplication for many years. And I got sustenance without my
efforts in this matter. I slaughtered the cow for this reason. This is my
answer. The owner of the cow had become very angry. And he caught
the edge of his shirt and began punching his face for this reason. He
caught him and took him to the prophet Dawood. And told him, "Oh
cruel person, let's accompany me, and I will ask him to punish you for
your deed. Oh, deceiver, what prayer are you asking? That person said,
"In my prayer, I have suffered much hardship. And I am certain that my
supplication was accepted by Allah in this matter.
The cow owner began crying and said, "Oh, Muslims, come on here.
And hear his absurd talking. He is taking away my cow by right of his
prayer calling. If there is rule in the world, then only through
supplication will people become owners of wealth and money. If it is
possible, then all blind beggars will become rich people in the world.
They used to ask Allah day and night to give them, and except for
endeavours and asking in the prayers for their desires and wishes, as
well as loud and crying with Allah, there was no other work with them.
But except for begging, they will get only bread and water and not other
things. The people were told that "this Muslim person is saying it right.
The caller is a cruel person, so as such, by only supplicating, nobody
could become wealthy or rich in the world. And such an act could not
come within the limits of Islamic law. One can become the owner of
anything by purchasing it, begging for it, getting it by inheritance, or
having someone give it to him for his happiness and pleasure. So you
give him his cow or tour the prison in this matter. And that person has
seen the sky side, and he said, "Oh, kind and merciful Allah, I am
making loud and crying of my supplications for a long period of time in
this matter. Except for you, nobody knew it. You have put this
supplication in my heart. And open the flames of many thousand lights
of hopes and aspiration into my heart. I did not submit such a
supplication in a wasteful way to you. And like the prophet Yousuf, I
have seen many dreams in this matter.
 45

The deceiver told me blind. Oh, Allah, he is thinking like Satan. I could
not pray in a blind way. I have not begged from anyone except Allah.
The blind person, due to a lack of wisdom, will beg with mankind, but I
have asked with you only, and everything is easy for you in this matter.
The world did not know my secret in this matter, and they treated the
matter as absurd. They are telling the truth, except for the knower of
secrets and the hider of defects. Nobody knows about these things.
The claimant told him, "Oh, person, why do you see towards the sky?"
Tell me your truth in this matter and why you're looking towards the
sky. What you have done has created this much of a problem. By
deceiving, he is showing this selfishness, but your heart is dead. So by
which mouth are you looking at the side of the sky?
In short, there was this loud cry in the whole city. The person of
supplication has put his head on the earth in prostration. And he said,
"Oh, Allah, do not disrespect him, and if I am a bad person, then do not
reveal my bad manner. As you know well, for a long period of time I
have been engaged in my supplication and calling you to your court
with humility. The people do not have the value of my worship, but you
know well, and they will not know in this matter. Oh, Allah, these
people are demanding cows from me. Why have you sent a cow to my
house? And in which there is no fault of my own in this matter.
When prophet Dawood came out, he heard a loud cry, so he was asked,
"What is the matter? The complainant person said, "Oh prophet of
Allah, my cow was entered into his house, and he slaughtered my cow.
Now you ask him, "Why has he done such work in this matter?
Hazrat Dawood told that person, "Oh, person, tell me why you have
slaughtered his cow. Tell me correctly and do not say unnecessary
things, so there may be correct judgement in this matter.
He told him, "Oh, Dawood." I am making supplication to merciful and
kind Allah since, for a period of seven years, day and night, oh, give me
legal substance without endeavours. All mankind in the city, like all
men and women, knows this matter. Even the boys make it a matter of
 46

laughing. You can certify in this matter that this beggar of a torn dress is
saying it right or not. After such a long period of supplication, one day,
one cow came into his house. There was darkness in my eyes. Not for
that I got substance, but for that, after a long period of time, my
substance was accepted in the court of Allah. I have slaughtered the cow
and distributed it among the beggars for the sake of Allah. And which
fulfilled the desire of the heart.”
Hazrat Dawood told him, "Leave all such matters; if you have any legal
argument, then tell me. Whether you want that I can give judgement
without reason so that it will be possible to find a false rule in this
matter, Whether you have purchased that cow or it was given to you so
that you have its ownership, do not say a false matter and give the price
of the cow to that Muslim, and if you do not have money, take a loan
from any person. He told him, "Oh, king, you say the same thing that is
said by these unkind persons.” Then he prayed with a true heart and
said, "Oh knower of the pain of my heart, put the light on this matter in
the heart of Dawood.” Then he began weeping loudly and crying. As
such, it had an effect on the heart of Dawood. He said, "Oh person of
cow, give time for me so that I will adjourn hearing of the case so that I
can go and pray in the loneliness and know from Allah the secret and
condition of the case. And going into loneliness is teaching knowledge
of reality in this matter."
Then Hadrat Dawood went silently into this lonely worship place. And
he closed the door and went to arch, where he was engaged in his
prayers, and whatever was required in the case, Allah informed him of
the matter. And regarding the procedure for punishment in the case, he
was able to know.
The next day, both parties to the case were present with Hazrat Dawood,
and the case hearing began. The complainant began scolding and saying
bad words to the plantiff as much as possible, and he said that during the
time of the prophet of Allah, there was clear cruelty towards him, and
the cow was slaughtered and eaten away. And at the time of his reply,
 47

he was talking about his pain. Oh prophet of Allah, whether it is right

that the cow is his property and whether Allah has given him the cow.
Hadrat Dawood told him to become silent and leave him in this matter.
And forgiving that Muslim person your cow. Oh, young man, Allah has
hidden your sin. So you fulfil the right of kindness to Allah and have
patience. But that person began making loud and crying noises and
began saying, "What is this order, and what is this justice?" Whether
there is new justice for this poor person Oh Dawood, you are famous all
over due to justice and fairness; the earth and sky are scented in this
matter. The cruelty that was done to him, which will not be done even to
the blind dogs. And due to this cruelty, stones and mountains will be
shattered. He was making such comparisons openly. And he was calling
it cruelty and cruelty. Oh, prophet of Allah, do not have such cruelty
towards me. And do not make an order against justice."
When Hazrat Dawood heard all the details, he was given the order to
give all his goods to him; otherwise, the case would be severed in this
matter. And your cruelty will be well known to him. But he was put
down with dust upon his head and tore his clothes. And he told him that
you had added more cruelty to him. When he did not become silent, he
called him near and told him, "Bad luck person, your fate is not good, so
your cruelty is known slowly in this matter. And stop your loud and
crying, and whether this loud cry will not become the cause of your
killing. Go and see that your sons and wife have become slaves of that
person. He took a stone in his hand and began searching his chest in this
matter, and due to ignorance, he was walking here and there. The
mankind, due to kindness to him and by siding with him as they were
unaware of the original orders in this matter, went into the presence of
Hazrat Dawood and told him, "Oh, kind prophet of Allah, there should
not be done such cruelty upon him. You have scolded that person
without any reason, and he is not a sinner person.Hazrat Dawood said,
"Now the time has come to reveal a hidden secret in this matter. All
accompany us in such a place and in such a jungle at the back side of
one river. Even all men and women leave the houses so that all will be
 48

able to know the secret in this matter. In such a jungle, there is a big tree
in which there are many branches that are fixed to each other. And that
tree is very tall. I smell the blood from the roots of the tree. In such a tall
tree, one man was killed. The event is that this bad luck person killed his
master and put him in the tree. In real life, the person of the cow who
was a slave of his master killed his master. And he has taken all his
wealth. The young plantiff is the son of that person, and at that time he
was a young boy. And so he does not know in this matter.

Till now, this cruelty was kept hidden by the knowledge of Allah. At
last, when that person’s unhumility and unthankfulness increased to the
point that he stopped to see the children of his master, And he did stop
to see them on occasion, especially in early spring and on festival days.
He did not give the helpless person even one loaf of bread. And forget
old rules and rights. And such a condition happened that for one
ordinary cow, he threw the son of his master on the earth, and he left the
curtain of his sin by himself. Perhaps Allah will hide his sin in this
matter. During the time of cruelty, infidel and sinner persons used to cut
the curtain of their sins, and cruelty will be hid in the deepness of the
soul. And cruel persons reveal their sins to the people around them only.
When all the people went to the jungle under the tree, Prophet Dawood
asked the people to tie the complainant. And then he told him, "Oh dog,
first you have killed your grandfather, so for this punishment you have
made a slave of the killed person. After that, you took away all the
wealth of your master, and your wife was a slave girl of your master.
And she acted rudely against her master. So all boys and girls born
belong to the plantiff only. You are also his slave, and whatever wealth
you have obtained through your efforts belongs to him. As you have
desired judgement as per Islamic law, this decision is for you to compile
in this matter. You have killed your master at this place with much
cruelty, and your master has very much requested your assistance in this
matter. At this place, you have hidden the knife to hide the secret of
 49

your killing of your master. Oh, people, dig the place where you will
find the head of the master with a knife in the earth. You will find the
name of this dog on it. When the earth was dug, there was the head of
the master, and a knife was hidden there. So there was loud crying
among the people for this reason. And all persons have regrets about
Hazrat Dawood for their mistrust of him. Upon this, Hazrat Dawood
was given an order and told, "On compaintant, hear judgement of your
complaint in this matter," and he was killed by the same knife.
There will be much concession given by the knowledge of Allah, but
when there is an excess of the limit, there will be disrespect in this
matter.
Even from the claim of the complaint person, it was known as an
original secret. And it was shown the miracle of Hazrat Dawood and
spread all over there. Then all the people of the place present in his
court without covering their heads said to him with much humility that
we were mistaken in this matter naturally, so whatever you have said to
us, we have not believed in this matter, so forgive all of us. One cruel
person was killed and one world was given life in this matter, and the
faith of all persons was renewed fresh again upon Allah.
Lesson of the moral story: Oh, my dear, you also kill your soul and
give life to the whole world. The claimant of the cow is your soul. And
who made himself rich and wealthy person.The person who slaughtered
the cow had your wisdom. Do not refuse or decline to slaughter your
body. Wisdom is imprisoned. And with Allah asking always for legal
substance without grief or endeavours .You know that Allah’s
sustenance will be obtained by whomever without endeavours. One who
will slaughter the soul's desires like a cow. And wisdom's owner was
left helpless and without means, and those who are selfish and without
means were owners and chiefs in this matter. You know what
sustenance is without endeavour. And the food of the soul is pure
sustenance. And which depends upon the sacrifice of the cow.
 50

So as a person of endeavour, you think of the killing of cows as a hidden

treasure in this matter.

1. Making the teacher ill due to creating doubt in his heart

54
 55

In one school, the students were upset due to the strictness of the teacher
in the school.So all of them sat together and discussed how to get rid of
the cruelty of the teacher in this matter so that teachers do have any
problems with illness and can get leave from teaching for some short
days of relief. They have not seen any trick to get rid of the hard beating
and imprisoning of the boys by the teacher, and there was no scapegoat
in this matter.
As that cruel person was hard and powerful like a mountain. And he
could not leave his place.
At last, one boy who was wise among them told them that when the
teacher comes, he will say, "Oh, my teacher, why have I seen your face
as pale and your face not as fresh as before?" And it may be possible
that you are affected by some disease in this matter, and you may have a
fever. There will be an effect on the teacher if he says "Oh." At that
time, all the other students will support me regarding the teacher’s
illness. It means another boy, by making his face in worry, will say,
"Oh, my teacher, how are you today?" Then, for this matter, such
thinking makes a place in the heart of the teacher for this reason. In this
way, one after another, a third student will repeat the same thing by
worrying and having trouble of health of the teacher in this matter. As a
result, all 30 boys will speak in unison when they say worry matter, and
the teacher's heart will be broken for this reason.
Every student was told, "Oh, good and wise one, may Allah increase
your works. Then all have agreed that everybody will accept this
suggestion and will not ignore it in this matter. Then he was given the
swearing to all students that nobody would disclose this matter. All
liked and loved that boy’s suggestion very much. And said that his
wisdom moves ahead of the sheep in the grazing yard. There is a
difference in wisdom between the people, which has a difference in the
faces.

55
 56

In short, the next day all the boys with happiness and joy with that
suggestion came to school, and they were standing out of the school for
waiting the boy who had given them a suggestion in this matter, as the
head is more important than the feet.
That boy came, and he said salam to the teacher and said, "Hazrat, how
are you? As your face colour is becoming yellow. The teacher told him
that he has not had any trouble. Do not talk unnecessarily and sit in your
place. The teacher did not say, but there was a bad doubt in his heart for
this reason. There was an effect in his thinking when another boy said
this in this matter. and in this way, the teacher’s level of doubt began
increasing and as such, due to this reason of thinking, he became dull
and weak. And he stood and wore a blanket upon his body for this
reason. And he became enraged at his wife, who was always spending
money on her make-up and adornment. So what will be her care and
attention towards him in this matter? By talking with his heart, he
reached the door of his house. And he opened the door with great force.
The teacher came to the house, and the boys were behind him. The wife
told him why he had come back so early. whether there is good in this
matter? The teacher told her that "You have become blind and do not
see my bad health condition, as I am very ill in this matter. The wife
said, "Oh, my husband, there is no illness for you. All doubt is due to
doubt only, which has no reality. The teacher told her, "Oh my wife,
why are you consoling me?" You are not watching the worry on my
face. And there is an increase in fever and its effects on me. If you are
blind and deaf, then she told him “ I will bring a mirror and show you
your condition, and then you can believe in this matter.” The teacher
told him, "Oh wife , leave it to you and your mirror, and you used to
have grudges with me always. So go spread my bed so that I can have
some rest as my head is becoming heavy. So the wife began thinking
about this matter, so the teacher called her loudly, and he said, "Oh, my
foe and enemy, do not delay in this matter.”

56
 57

In short she was made ready bed spread for him. And but she was in the
condition of worry in her heart that if she would say anything against
him then he will be angry and if she will be silent then it become like a
joke in this matter.Any how teacher by sleeping on the bed began
making loud and cry.They went there and began re-petition of their
lessons apparently but they were ashamed in this matter that they have
done such a worse thing in this matter and now they began how leave
that place. That wise boy told others oh brothers to repeat the lessons in
loud voice. When the boys began revisions of the lessons in loud voice
then that wise boy told all of them “oh brothers whether there may be
trouble to the teacher in this matter.” the teacher told that yes he is
saying right. Go from here to your houses there is holiday today as there
is increased headache in my head. They boys by bending the salam to
the teacher left from teacher’s house and reached back to their houses by
jumping and playing like birds come back to the grains.
But the others of the boys were angry in this matter and they told them
today is school day and you are busy in the play and games. This is time
of reading and writing but you are skipped from the school and teacher.
Each and every boy told that “oh mother there is no fault with us and
by the destiny of Allah health of teacher is not well. And he is on the
bed rest.
Lesson of the moral story: The mothers of the boys did not believe the
story told by them; their teacher is ill. They went to the teacher’s house
and found him on the bed, and he was covering his body with a blanket,
and he was making loud and crying noises. They were surprised and
they asked him, "Oh, Hazrat, you were good till yesterday; what
happened to you suddenly?" The teacher told him that "He did not care
about my illness due to my engagement in my work. And he was
developing such an illness. And this was informed to me by the boys
yesterday.

57
 58

Upon hearing this, the women recited a curse upon Satan, and they
said that "There is no cure of such disease with anybody, and they
have returned back to their homes."

2. The breaking of promise by the ascetic person in uneasiness

I am telling you one story if you think then you will like and love a
reality in this matter. One darwesh used to live in the mountain area and
the loneliness was his wife and children and the loneliness was his
friend there. He used to get intoxicated smells from the side of Allah.
And for this reason, he used to be upset with the bad smell of the
respiration of the people in this matter.
The matter is that for one group who used to like to live in the house
and for another group it was made easy for them to tour and travel.
In short in the mountain valley area, there were many plants and trees of
fruits and flowers like grapes, guava, and pomegranate. And it was the
food of that darwesh in the mountain area. He used to eat these fruits
there and did not eat other kinds of food.
Once he has promised Allah that he will not pluck the fruits from his
hands but I did not request to pluck by the hands of the other person and
I will not eat such fruits which are on the higher level of the branch of
the fruit trees. I will eat such fruits which will fall from the tree by the
movement of the winds on the earth.
By chance, there was no fall of any apple or guava from the trees for
a period of five days. And the fire of the hunger which made darwesh
upset and disturbed. He has seen some guava on the branch of the
tree.But he has done patient in this matter then there came a movement
of the wind with much force and the branch of the tree bent toward the
earth's side at a lower level and for this reason, darwesh could not make
control his hunger at last due to hunger pressure the ascetic person has
broken the promise made by him with Allah. And with this, there was a
58
 59

movement of the humility of Allah in this matter. As there is required to

fulfill the promise made by us to Allah and which is a must and
necessary.
On that mountain perhaps there used to reside a group of thieves and
there will be held distribution of the goods in the robbery. Suddenly the
police were aware of the presence of the thieves on the mountain and
the policemen of the commissioner made siege of the mountain area.
Put handcuffs in the hands of all persons. And after the commissioner
of police was given the order to cut the legs of the culprits to the
executioner. And the executioner cut the right leg and left hand of each
and everybody there. Due to this, there was a loud cry in the whole area
for this punishment. Among them, the hand of the darwesh was cut and
there was an arrangement to cut his leg at that time one horse rider came
there and he said in a loud cry to the policemen “Oh dogs why you have
cut his hand and he is such and such shaik and he belongs to Abadal (a
known number of divines chosen by God who always inhabit the world,
it is said that when one of them dies God appoints another in order to
keep their numbers the same i.e., seven or seventy)
Upon hearing this policeman tore his shirt and went to see the police
commissioner very fast and informed him about the event in this matter.
Upon hearing this the commissioner came to the spot by not wearing
any shoes on his feet regretful and sorry in this matter. And he said “Oh
Hazrat forgive me by Allah’s swearing I do not know in this matter. Oh,
forgiver and leader of heaven I have done a big sin. You forgive me.
That person told him that “ I know the reason for the trouble in this
matter. And I know about my sin. I have disrespected a life of belief.
And for this reason, my promise brought me to this court. I have broken
my promise by knowing it well. And so for this, there came punishment
on my hand. If our hands and feet and our body and life will be
sacrificed on the order of a friend then it is status of thanks. And there is
no complaint with you. You did not have news in this matter and there
will not come any trouble upon you. One who will know the
overwhelming obedience then he will not dare to go against Allah.”
59
 60

Now hear the details of the miracle of the darwesh person in this matter
that upon cutting the hand, the Darwesh’s name became has become
famous and well known as Tande Shaik. And the people began to call
him by this name.
Once upon meeting him one person suddenly came into his hut and
he was seen that by his two hands, he was sewing his bag. And Shaik
told him “Oh enemy of soul why you have entered into my hut without
my permission.” He told there was a mistake by him due to his love and
devotion in this matter. Shaik told him “Yes come in but be careful do
not say anybody this condition and till my death do not say this to
anybody.” But at the hut of the Shaik, a large crowd of people was
gathered due to knowing of the sewing of the bag by the Shaik. Shaik
told in his heart that “Oh Allah you know the wisdom in this matter that
I want to hide this miracle. And you are disclosing it.” There was a
revelation to Shaik in this matter that people are now near to refusing
you and they going to say that you are creating a net of deception and
fraud on the way of Allah. And for this reason, Allah disrespected and
insulted. We did not like this. And due to this reason, people will
become infidels. And due to their misleading, they involve in mistrust.
So for this reason we have disclosed your miracle in this matter that at
the time of working there appeared your two hands to you so that due to
mistrust they should not leave the court of Allah.
I have given you special gnosis knowledge of my personality. This
miracle was given to you for the sake of the people. And this lamp was
lighted for the sake of this expedience in this matter.”

3. The asking for a weighing machine from the goldsmith

One person went to the goldsmith's shop and asked him to give him his
weighing machine. The goldsmith told him, "Brother, go on your way. I
do not have a weighing machine with me”. The person told him, "Oh,
60
 61

brother, do not make a joke and give him the weighing machine to me.”
That person told him, "Oh, brother, in my shop even there is no a
broom. He told him “Oh brother, leave a joke with him, and I am asking
for a weighing machine from you. So give it that, do not become deaf,
and do not give unnecessary replies in this matter. The goldsmith told
him, “Oh brother, I am hearing your question, and I am not deaf. You do
not understand that I am saying unnecessary things. You are an old
person and have become thin like a wooden stick. And your hands are
shaking. And in the whole body, there is shivering. Your gold is like
sawdust with small particles. So for weighing, there will be shivering in
your hands, and for this, gold will fall. Then you will come to see me
and ask oh brother, bring your broom so that I can collect my fallen
gold. When you will collect gold and soil particles, you ask me to bring
a strainer so that I can separate the gold from the soil. And we do not
have a strainer in our shop. So I have told you before by seeing the
result of your work and I ask you weighing machine from another shop
in this matter.”

The lesson of this moral story is that one who sees the start and does not
see its end is a blind person in this matter. And one who sees his look
at the result of the work is a wise person for this reason. So the person
who will think about the thing that will be going to happen is a wise
person.

4. The running away of the prophet Jesus from foolish persons

One time, the prophet Jesus was running toward the mountainside in a
hurry. It was seen that there was a tiger coming toward him to attack
him from the backside. One person ran behind him. And he has asked
him, Hazrat, is everything all right? And behind you, there is nothing,
and you are flying like a bird. But in his hurry, the prophet Jesus did not
reply to him. He ran behind him for two field areas, and at last, he called
him in a loud voice and told him, for the sake of God, please stop. And I
am worried due to your walking and running. Why are you running this
61
 62

way? And there is no tiger or enemy behind you. He told him, you are
right. I am running to avoid one foolish person, so you do not disturb me
in this matter. Oh whether you are not a healer from your miracle deaf,
blind, or dumb will become good in healthy condition. He said yes.
Then he told him whether you are not such a king who has control of the
world of magic invisible. If you recite supplication on the dead person
will wake up like imprisoned tiger in this matter then he will get life. He
told him yes he is such a personality. Then he told whether you are not
such a person when you make a bird of soil and blow supplication then
that bird flies from there and he told yes indeed he is such a person.
Then that person told oh pure soul you can do whatever you want then
why are afraid in this matter.?
The prophet Jesus said to God swearing he is the inventor of the human
body and creator of the soul. And against his personality and respect for
the attributes the skies have cut off the edges of the shirts. And for such
magic and great name when I have recited on blind and deaf then they
become well in this matter and the mountains were shattered when I
recited upon them. The dead bodies stood when I recited upon them.
When recited Lashai then it has become something. But with much
sincerity and endeavours I have recited that magic upon that foolish
person and many times then it is regret that there was no benefit at all in
this matter. That person told him “Oh Hazrat what is the reason for this
matter.? And there is the effect of the name of Allah in the other places
but here there is no effect at all in this matter. As a matter of fact, this is
affecting the illness and also that is illness too. Then what is the reason
is that there is no same effect of the great name of Allah upon two
things. The prophet Jesus told that “The illness of the foolish man is the
curse of Allah. And illness of a blind person is not an illness but it is a
trail only. So for such an illness, there will be required kindness. And
foolishness is such illness from it there will come to injure.”
The lesson of this moral story is that oh person you also run away very
far from the foolish man like the prophet Jesus. In the company of a
62
 63

foolish person, there were happen many problems like the wind which
will make dry the water slow basis. And in the same way foolish will
snatch you slow basis without feeling in this matter. He will take your
hotness and want to give you coldness like a cold stone, there will be
created cold to your whole body.

But running away from the prophet Jesus the foolish person was not
the reason for fear and danger. Because he was free from all fears and
dangers. But it was for the teaching of the people of his nation otherwise
if the mountain of the atmospheric region will spread cold in the whole
world then there will be no effect at all to the shining sun of the world.
5. The story of three friends
The children used to tell stories of baseless and unreal matters. In such
stories, there will be puzzles, and there will be available advice and
instructions as well as useless matters. In this case, however, you seek
treasure in desolate locations.
That city was very large and heavily populated in both length and
population. And in that city, there were living people from the ten cities.
But all of them belonged to three categories: unwise and having no
experiences persons.One of them can see a thing lying at a long
distance, but he is blind. By seeing the prophet Sulaiman, he became
blind, but he could see the feet of the ant. And the other person who can
hear sharp sounds, but he is deaf, and the third person who is naked, but
he is like a walking dead person, and his edge of the shirt is very
lengthy.
The blind person said, "See that there is a group of people coming,
which is what I am seeing. And to which community they belong, and
how many people are there. The dead person said, "Yes, I am hearing,"
and the naked person said, "Oh, brother, I am having fear that they
could not cut my long edge of the shirt."
63
 64

The blind person said, "Oh, see that they have reached near, so raise up
so that before they beat us and catch us, let us leave this place in this
matter. The deaf person told me, "Yes, I am hearing the walking sound
of their feet nearby. Oh, friends, be alert. The naked person said, "No
doubt, let us run away fast from this place, whether they may cut the
edge of my shirt in this matter, and I am in the most dangerous
situation."
In short, the three persons rant out of the city and have reached one
village. And in that village, they find one fat cock there.But it was full
of bones, and it did not have flesh on his body. The blind person has
seen it. And the deaf person heard it. And the naked person caught it and
put it on the edge of his shirt. The cock was dried up upon his death and
the crow has touched his dead body with his beak. They have brought
one cauldron that does not have its top and bottom portions in it and put
it on the fire and began cooking it, and they have given such a fire to the
wood that the bones of the cock have become very soft very much.Like
the tiger, they ate the cooked cock flesh, just as the elephant used to eat
his food very much.
The three people, by eating the cock flesh, have become so fat, like a
big elephant, in this matter, and their fatness has increased so much that
they could not accommodate in the space of the world. But in spite of
their fat bodies, they used to come out of the whole of the door.
Mankind was habituated to eat everything in the world and to become
fat. They like such things that seem good in a manifest way, but in
reality, such things will be dirty and illegal and with which they can fill
their stomachs. And on the other hand, this habit will take the person on
the way to death, and for it, there is no other chance for them. And they
could not see this strange way. One group behind him came there, and
which will pass in the shape of a caravan is going from the whole of the
door in this matter.

64
 65

And there is not seen the whole of the door, and even the door itself is
not seen in this matter. From it, the caravan went away.
In this moral story, the example of the deaf person is like hope, who
hears news of his death but cannot hear news of his death.And could not
see him by passing, and the example of a blind person is like lust. And
who sees mankind’s each and every small defect and passes it on to
each and every lane. But his blind eye could not see his own defects.
The naked person is afraid of cutting off the lengthy edge of the shirt.
So imagine what is left with a naked person so that any person can cut
his long shirts’ edges. The person of the world came to the world in the
naked position and will go from the world in the naked condition. But
all his life, he will be worried about the danger of the theft of the edge
of the shirt by a thief. And such a person will make much noise and cry
at the time of his death. But at that time, even the soul will laugh that in
life this person will be afraid of what in this matter. And at that time, a
rich person will feel that he is poor and lowly.
A sensible person will think that life was spent without any talent or
skill.
The soul of all knowledge you should know about questioning on the
day of judgement and what your position and status will be?.And think
about your origin. Which is before you. By knowing the rules of
knowledge and works of philosophy and logic, it is better that you think
about your origin in this matter.

The End.

1. The slave who will not come out of the mosque

There was one slave of one Amir (rich person), whose name was
Musinqar. In the last hours of the night, Amir was called Musuinqar,
who told him to take a cup, dress, and earth of p from the slave girl and
proceed to the bathroom side. So that we can reach the bathroom early
in the morning. He was taken to find a dress, and both of them went to
the bathroom.

On the way, they heard the call of the morning prayer Fajar from one
mosque as Musinqar was regular at the prayer in the mosque. He told
“My master to stay in the shop so I could perform my prayer in the
72
 73

mosque.”The careless about of Allah Amir was waiting for Musinqar in

the shop there. There was much delay for the return of the slave as the
Imam and other persons who performed their prayers and recitals all
came out of the mosque, but Musinqar did not come back to the Amir.
So the Amir called him, "Oh, Musiqar, why did you not come out of the
mosque?" And he replied that his spiritual master is not allowing me to
come out of the mosque. Please wait for some time, and I'll just come
out of here. I am not careless about your calling for me in the mosque.
In this way, Amir was given a call to Musinqar seven times, and he was
tired out of his reply waiting for some time, and I just came out of there.
And
who is not allowing me to leave the mosque for this reason, so he is not
coming out of the mosque.

The Amir told him that the mosque is now completely vacant. So who is
stopping you there? and Musiqar relied on him that he was the one who
was not allowing him inside the mosque. He is stopping me from
coming out of the mosque building in this matter.
Oh, my sons The sea is not allowing the fish to leave the seawater, and
it is also not allowing animals from the land to enter the seawater. The
origin of fish is water, and animals of the land’s origin are soil. So here
there is h, and the reason is not active and possible, and when there will
be such a hard locked position, which will be opened by Allah only in
this matter,

2. The taking away of the sock of the prophet by a falcon

Once the prophet heard the prayer call in the field outside of the city, he
knew it was coming from the sky. He was called to bring the water there
for ablution, and he has done ablution, and he was taking his socks from
their place when suddenly one falcon took away the sock of the prophet
by way of a pounce and flew in the air. And from in the air, he was
upside down on the sock, and there was a snake falling from it. And
73
 74

when it was seen, there was a black cobra that had fallen from the sock
of the prophet, and that showed the sincerity of the falcon's work in this
matter.
Then the falcon came down and returned the sock and told him, "Oh
prophet of Allah, please take back your sock. And I have done
disobedience due to the situation alone. Then the prophet thanked Allah,
and he said, "We have understood the excess of the falcon in this matter,
but we know the falcon’s faithfulness in this matter. He said, "You have
removed my difficulty, but he was upset and sad with you. Even though
Allah has informed him of all defects in us, at that time our heart was
engaged with ourselves in this matter.”
The falcon told him, "It may not happen any negligence by favor Allah
by you. And my knowledge of the invisible was due to your reflection
only. So how can I see the snake in the sock from such a higher level in
the sky to the earth? This is not possible for me. Oh, the prophet of
Allah, this is your reflection. The reflection of light will be bright, and
the reflection of darkness will be dark.

3. One person learning the dialects of animals from the prophet

Musa

One young man has requested that the prophet Musa teach him
the dialects of the animals. So that he can learn from the voices of wild
and jungle animals the knowledge of Allah. As all the languages of the
men are used to be engaged in food and drinking needs and fraud and
deception works.
It is possible that the animals also used to engage in the endeavor of
filling their stomachs. The prophet Musa told him to ignore this matter
and to desire and wish. As there are many kinds of dangers and risks to
life, instead of the book and dialects, demand knowledge from Allah
only.
But as per the instructions and advice of the prophet Musa, the young
person’s desire and interest, as well as fondness, were much greater in
74
 75

this matter. As a general rule, when there is a prohibition on something,

there will be a lot of fondness for it.
That person told the prophet, Musa, "Oh Hazrat, when there was shining
of your light, there was an inveterate habit of everything. So do not keep
him away from this, which is away from your love and favor in this
matter.
You are the viceroy of Allah; if you stop me from obtaining this
knowledge, then I will be disappointed. The prophet Musa requested in
the court of Allah, "Oh self-sufficient Allah, it seems that Satan has
made him his toy. And if I teach him the knowledge, then it will be bad
for him. And if I do not teach him, then there will be a shock for him."
There was given an order of Allah to the prophet Musa to teach him the
dialects of the wild animals, and due to our mercy, we have not rejected
the requisition and supplication of anybody."
The prophet Musa went to see him and was told in a soft way that this
knowledge in this matter will be known in an automatic way and you
will get your desire from the heart. But it is good in this matter to have
fear of Allah and leave this desire and wish. Because Satan has put this
idea in your heart. So do not have a free headache in this matter.
Because this knowledge will involve you in many troubles and
problems, and that person said yes. So teach me dialects of the dog who
lives at my door and dialects of the cock who lives in my house only
instead of dialects of all animals in this matter, and if I know which will
be sufficient for me, The prophet Musa said yes, and from today
onward, the knowledge of the dialects of these two animals has been
opened to you.
In the morning, that person stood at the door of his house for trial
purposes in this matter. The housemaid put an eating cloth in the house,
and at that time a piece of the dry bread that was left in it fell, and the
cock that was watching it took the dry bread piece and fasted from there.
The dog complained that you can eat raw wheat, but I could not eat
grains. Oh, friend, this is a small piece of bread that belongs to our share
and is taken by you. The cock told him to have some patience in this
75
 76

matter. Allah will give the best reward than this, and the horse of the
owner will die by tomorrow, so then you can eat as much as per your
requirement and satisfaction. The death of the horse is the festival of the
dogs. So without endeavors and trials, there will be provided much more
sustenance.
Upon hearing this owner sold the horse immediately. And the next
day when there was a ready-eating cloth for food then at the time cock
was taken away from the piece of the bread. And the dog made again
complaint in this matter and told “Oh talkative person you are a false
person. The oh cruel person you told me that horse will die but where
the horse has died. Oh, black fate person you are not having the right
saying with you”. The cock was known about the news of horse death at
another place. The owner was safe from loss by selling the horse. But
there is good news that tomorrow camel will die and there will be a feast
for the dogs in this matter.
Upon hearing this owner sold away the camel. And he was free from the
bad news of the death of the camel and as well loss of money.
On the third day, the dog told “Oh king of liers. Till how long you
will continue your false sayings. Oh, useless and you are an agent of the
frauds.” The cock told that owner was sold a camel but tomorrow his
slave will die and all his relatives will come tomorrow and will eat
bread and curry on this occasion and there will be available plenty of
bread to also dogs and animals.” And upon hearing this owner sold his
slave and he was happy for free of the loss in this matter.
The owner was much happy and he was much thankful to Allah and
Allah made free from three continuous losses in this matter. By learning
the dialects of the cock and dog I can see and read the eyes of the angel
of the death.
On the 4th day, the dog told “Oh pride and useless cock till how long
your prediction will continue in this matter and how long your fraud and
deception will be there. You are saying false from your mind. “
He told me I repent in this matter that my nation will tell the mean type
of false matters and it will be not possible. Our nation is right way like
76
 77

the caller of prayers in the mosque of Allah. And the reality is that slave
died with his buyer soon. And there was the loss of the buyer in this
matter. The owner destroyed the wealth of the buyer. And now you
should know well that owner is going to face such a situation. One loss
will keep away many losses in this matter. The loss of body and soul is
paying off charity. In the court of the king, one person will be saved
from his death by paying the fine with money. But nobody does not
know the decree of Allah and he is saving his wealth. But if such wealth
it will be given to charity then such loss will become a gain for each and
everybody in this matter. Yes, surely the owner will be die tomorrow.
And his owners relative will sacrifice cow in the recitation Fatha
ceremony on the death then you will have much food and substance in
this matter. The curry of the flesh of cow and bread will be distributed
to beggars and all relatives and animals in this matter. The death of the
horse, camel, and slave person and which are the cause of the death of
the foolish owner. He was free from the loss of the property and its grief
and accumulated money but lost his life in this matter.
The owner was hearing the prediction of the cock carefully and with
much attention in this matter. Upon hearing this he went to the door of
the prophet Musa. And due to fear, he was touching the earth many
times. And he told “Oh prophet of Allah there is my request to redress
my problem.” The prophet told him that “Now go away and sell
yourself and keep safe from the loss. You have an expert teacher person
in this matter. This time also transfer your loss to the other Muslims and
fill your bags of money and valaut. This act is going to happen and you
have seen in the mirror now and I have seen it in the ingot a long time
ago. The wise person will see coming trouble soon. An unwise person
will watch it the last time.”
Then he began making loud and cry and weeping again. And h he said
“Oh Sahab do not disappoint me in this matter and make me a candidate
of your mercy. I have done the wrong thing but you forgive me.” The
prophet Musa told “Oh my son now the arrow was left from the bow.
And there is no rule of the return of the arrow. But I will pray in the
77
 78

court of Allah for your death with faith in this matter and one who will
die with faith then he will alive always.
At the same time, his condition becomes worse and as well as the
condition of his heart worsens in this matter and he was vomiting in one
pot and which was belong to death and not to cholera. And four persons
were taken to him to his house by carrying on one bed. He has done this
excess due to his ignorance only. Even though I told him this knowledge
is not beneficial at all but he thought my advice as a matter of ignored
from my side in this matter.”
The merciful Allah has done mercy upon him and accepted the
supplication of the prophet Musa.

Later life and death of Maulana Rumi

In the book of Masnavi book the great poetry book of Moulana Rumi ,
there are added many hundred stories about proverbs and tales of olden
times, stories of humor and laughter in it.In addition to other stories of
claims in the courts of judges and proofs of claim and decrees and moral
stories and their stories aspect as well as its final results and teaching
and also in this holy book, there are added an important and remarkable
attribute in the book is that the style of explanation of the teaching and
advices in which there are mentioned the importance of morals and
phycology as well as many hundred issues of matter of Sufism and
spiritualism.

82
 83

And he has mentioned in such style and description which will be

entered in the depth of the heart. But this task of translation of the
Persian stories in the Urdu book by me was not completed due to being
so much busy with my work and engagements in this matter. As well as
there was much pressure and request from friends and well-wishers in
this matter.
For a long period of time, there was thinking about translating all
stories of moral teaching into one Urdu book. So the student and general
people of our country are able to get the benefit of the favor of
knowledge of river of these moral stories were written by Moulana
Rumi.
After that, there was not passed much time and during that time there
was a published book of Masnavi by Moulana Rumi by Qazi Talamaz
Hussain M.A. in new get up and he was given the title of the book
‘Marat Mathnavi’ and the pearls of advice which were found in the
original book here and there and for which he has compiled in the book
with togetherness in this matter. Upon this, as per this task there was
become easy and clear for Mirza Nizam Shah Labib to translate the
Persian book into Urdu version. He is a great scholar of Urdu language
and poet as well as a traveler of the world of Sufism and has attributes
of experience and a seasoned personality. He has done translations of
moral stories with much interest and fondness in the original language
of the Red Fort of Delhi. And at some place, he has added the taste of
proverb and sayings of Hyderabad Deccan which was his second
headquarter. And as per mentioning of the explanation of the words and
its meanings he has made translation’s color of Sufism were dark and
depth in this matter. So for this reason the translation book has become
hard and difficult for the general readers of the book in this matter and
he has done it because there will be damage to the aim of the text of the
Masnavi in the Persian language.

83
 84

And for this reason, there was no option remaining except to rewrite
the Urdu translation once again in this matter and following matters
from the books were delisted for the above reason.
1. Those stories and examples which are a purely religious type or
belongs to the faith of the Muslim community should have been deleted.
2. Some stories are rational and good in their place in this book but if
these stories are selected separately then there will be known nakedness
of the story matter known to the women and children so such stories
have been ignored in this matter.
3. Where there are arguments in deep and reasons and points lengthy
and have repeated and at this place, the short and simple way was
followed for the translation of the stores.
4. In short to keep the stories of the book in an interesting way and to
have a fondness for each and every reader and as well as in this matter
there was taken care and attention to moral instruction and the pious
teaching style of Moulana Rumi in this matter.

Preface

85
 86

This is a book called "The Rumi Story Book 16," which is a very new
book and will be published in 2023 in the English language.

This is a small book in which the stories from the book "The Persian
Stories of the Rumi" are added upon its translation from Urdu book, and
in this book there are some great achievements of this great sheikh of
mysticism that are not yet known to the general public. These are
published in a very interesting style, so for this reason, the readers will
find great interest and attention in this matter.

In this book, story details from the Urdu book " Hikayat Rumi part one"
are added by me upon its translation into English. And this is a well-
known and famous book that was written by Moulana Rumi in Persian
language and Mirza Nizam Shah Labib was translated this Persian
classic book in the Urdu language . And I am presenting this book in
the presence of the readers in the English version for the first time.

From the above facts and details, if the readers start reading this book’s
first chapter and do not stop reading till they reach its last chapter, some
interesting events as well as other great miracles and endeavors of this
holy saint are added, and this holy saint passed away from the world
many centuries ago.

Even though this is a small book, due to its importance, it is so great due
to the coverage of many interesting events and positive information in it
that it is like an ocean of knowledge and information about the holy
saint who passed away from the world upon doing his great endeavours
and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation of Islam in
foreign lands. So this book is a small one, but it will present an ocean of
knowledge and information for the guidance of people towards the right
path of Islam.
86
 87

Writing about these great Sufi saints is not only difficult but also
extremely difficult, because they were not only great pious personalities
of their time in Iran and India but also great Sufi masters throughout the
world who struggled hard for the preaching and propagation of Islamic
ways centuries ago.

Rumi story books in Persian are well-known and famous books written
by Shaik Rumi. It is the enlightenment and wisdom of the treasure. This
book also revealed secrets and hinted at Sufism. And in this case, Shaik
Rumi was taken with the help of the stories.

Mirza Nizam Shah Saheb Labib has done his best translation from
Persian book in the Urdu book and has given its title ‘Hikayat Rumi’
part one to add stories on each and every subject, and he was deemed to
be completely successful in this regard. As a result, this book has
become an important part of the Light's book series. We have confirmed
our hope that you will like this book with your heart and soul and get
favor in this matter.

1. The Participation in the battles by Hazrat Hamza without wear of

the armor
 93

During the time of youth period, Hazrat Hamza used to be participating

in battles by wearing armor. But there was such a condition of him
during his old age that he began to participate in the wars without
wearing his armor and he used to attack the rows of the enemy with
bravery and power. His chest will be open as well as his body will be
without a military uniform. He will be ahead of all soldiers in the army
and used to attack first on the enemy on the battlefield.
The people have asked him “Oh uncle of the prophet, oh breakers of
the rows of the enemy lines oh tiger of the battlefield. Oh, king of the
brave persons whether you have not heard the order of Allah do not put
your life in the killing. So by knowing why you are calling the death on
the battlefield. When you are strong in the youth period and at that time
you used to participate in battles by wearing armor.”

Now when you are old and weak but not caring and negligent in this
matter. Whether the sword will treat anybody with kindness. The arrows
and spear do not make a difference in this matter. This is most unfair
and not reasonable that a tiger-like person like you will be killed at the
hands of the enemy army on the battlefield.
The well-wishers' persons have given him many kinds of advice to him
on this matter and have taught him in this respect. Hazrat Hamza told
that “When he was a young person and when he will observe that by the
way of death, a man leave this mortal world. but now for the charity of
the light of Mohammed, I am not now the lover of this mortal city and
during the period of ignorance when there was love for me for this
mortal world in the youth period but now during the period of Islam
when I became older than for me there is much love for the death.”

2. The fled of the slave of the ruler of Bukhara and his comeback
 94

Here is one strange story. There was a slave of the ruler of Bukhara who
was very dear to him in this matter. And the slaver also loved and liked
his master very much. And for this matter ruler of Bukhara was given
him a promotion and posted him to a respectable job as commissioner of
the police city of Bukhara. By chance, he has done one criminal act in
the city and he was left facing harsh punishment and disrespect to him.
He was left here and there and could not be traced in the city, so he went
to another place in the country. For ten years, he went to Khorasan and,
for a time, to Khastan. Sometimes he went to the jungle area and
wandered there.
After a period of ten years of wandering here and there then he was
upset for his fondness and love of the ruler of Bukhara.

Then his heart told him that now there is no power or strength to face
and tolerate the separateness and keep him away from the love of the
ruler in this matter.
So he has decided to move to Bukhara to regret his mistake and now
become his faithful and sincere person. And he decided to go into the
present and fall on his feet and request him there is a present in his life
so he can order whatever he wanted for his mistake. Whether he can kill
like an animal it is not good for him to become king in another place,
and it is good to live with him on your feet.
Whether the death will be an optional way or worry way but my life
without you is in a deserted way.
The people told him it is not free from danger for him to visit the city
of Bukhara, but he could not control his feelings or his condition. And
he went to reach Bukhara, facing my difficulties and problems. And if
any person who has seen him and told the king is severally angry with
you for your mistake, he will kill you at sight.

He said that he is facing the illness of dropsy, but the water is taking
him to its side. Even I know well that water will kill him and in this
matter, there will be much more damage to me with water.
 95

The patient with dropsy (a condition characterized by an accumulation

of watery fluid in the tissues or in a body) will not separate from the
water in this matter. Whether there will be swelling on the hands and
feet and over-expansion of the stomach but the love of the water will not
be less in this matter. And for this punishment, I was escaping from you.
And due to my love and fondness, I have hung myself on the cross in
this matter.
In short, by holding hands, the slave went into the presence of the ruler
of Bukhara. The lover who was shedding tears from his eyes was in
unconscious condition and he was carrying in one hand the shroud and
in another hand, he was carrying the sword. And all mankind was seeing
him by making their sharp looks at his side. And thinking about how the
king is going to treat him in this matter. Whether the king will give the
order to put him in the fire or hang him on the cross
When there was a fall of his look then he looked at the ruler of
Bukhara, then his condition had become worse, like from his soul and
his body was like a dry stick of wood falling on the floor and was cold
from the finger of his foot to his palate of the head. So the people began
his treatment in many ways, with incense and rose water. But he did not
make any movement and did not reply.
When the king saw his yellow face and got down from his horse, he
said that such an alert and clever lover is required for a friend. When the
beloved will show her face, then he is a lover, and no doubt you are a
true lover. And the reality is that wherever it finds you, your ego will
not remain.
In the heart of the ruler, upon seeing the condition of the slave, waves
of love were created. And he lifted him from the ground and put his
head in his lap. And there were tears of rain coming from his eyes. The
king said in his ear, Oh, a person of love, spread your edge of the shirt.
And there is a rain of gold and jewels. And your soul is suffering, in
the condition of worry. When there was over-separation, then where
have you gone? Now come back, so keep away your unconscious, and
when this good news was heard by him, there was some movement
 96

slowly in the corpse. And after some time, the slave stood in happy
mode and condition.
And in uneasiness, he was making two rounds around the king of
Bukhara, and then he fell into prostration before the king. His face has
become fresh like the flower of the garden, and in the condition of the
meeting, he was freed from conditional separateness. And he said, "Oh,
be rare, and my life may be sacrificed upon you, and for my sake, you
have to get down from your place of greatness and come to his place.
Then he regretted his mistake and bad luck, and then he mentioned
details of the sufferings of being separated from his master. And that
weak person began weeping bitterly in this matter.
As such, all gentlemen and other people began weeping. And from
his heart, there was such a condition of grief and sorrow that women and
men gathered around him like a plain of judgment who heard his worry
condition. And upon them also prevailed the condition of surprise and
memory of the past conditions, and for this matter, they began to cry,
which was the condition of the previous time and period of the memory.

Dear friends, love is the estrangement of the two worlds, in which there
is 72 madness, and its religion is different from the 72 sects of religion.
The throne of the kings before them is imprisoned for the lovers, and the
singer of love in ecstasy sings the following song in this matter:
Slavery is imprisoned, and divinity is a headache, so love is a river of
nothingness in which hands and feet are broken.
So now we know the reality of slavery and kingdom, and so in between
these veils, the love is hidden there.

3. One boy to give warning to the camel by drum beat

In some village, one boy used to watch the fields of the peasants. He
used to beat small drum and try to fly the birds in the fields. By chance,
there was a march of the military of king Sultan Mahmood of Gazni.
And there was an arrangement of the camp of his army near that field.
 97

In that army, there was one tall and strong camel. And on which there
will be used to carry military drum and which used to pass like cock
before the army of the king. And for the movement of the army, there
will be used to beat drum from that tall and big camel. One day that
camel went to the field of the boy. And boy to safeguard the wheat field
he began beating the small drum in this matter.
Then one person told the boy oh unwise person the camel belongs to the
army and he has such a habit with him in this matter. So that he will
understand the beat of the small drum. And on the back of the camel,
there will beat of drum of the army of the king and which has more 20%
sound than your small drum.

4. The complaint about the mosquito in the court of King Sulaiman

From the grass and leaves the mosquito came to the court of king's
claim and he said “oh Sulaiman you used to justice for human beings,
Jin and Faries and all animals. All birds of the air and fishes of the river
are in your control and power. There is no unfortunate who do not keep
away from your favor justice and help.
Please help us as we are in a condition of problem and free from your
justice. Then king Sulaiman told him “Oh one you are the demand of
justice from us but tell us details against whom you are demanding our
justice and order in this matter. Whose is that cruel person by touching
his finger due to pride on his mustache has done trouble and injustice to
you and who has given trouble to your face. And during the rule and
period of our kingdom, who is such a cruel person who dares to involve
in the justice and cruelty upon you in this matter?
The mosquito told the king: “We are suffering from the air in this matter
and due to such a problem there is no option for us to complain to your
court of honor and except for complaint, there is no cure in this matter
with us. oh, king of favor and authority help us in this matter and solve
our complaint. And take revenge from the air in this matter.”
King Sulaiman told him “Oh sweet singer of the songs that there is the
order of Allah for me to decide and give judgment upon hearing the
 98

arguments and reply of the plaintiff. Upon hearing of many thousand

loud and cry of the complaint be careful not to go ahead without hearing
the reply from the side of the plaintiff. And did not accept of complaint
in the court. And not having such position and control to go ahead
against the commands of Allah in this matter. So go from here and bring
back air in our court of the justice and fair to go ahead in hearing the
case.
The mosquito told yes order if certificate and order for me but the air
is your subordinate and control of power. My enemy is air which is
under care and control.
Upon hearing this King Sulaiman cried in a hurry and said oh air comes
from the darkness as there is the complaint by a mosquito. So give your
reply in this matter against the complainant.
Upon the royal order of the king the air came by making the sound of
tingling in the court of the king then at that time mosquitoes suddenly
left the court. The king has given a warning to the mosquito that he is
going away and to stay in the court so that upon hearing the arguments
of both parties I can pass my judgment. The king its sound is scream
and which is my death. and my life days are black due to his smoking.
And where it will come from then how I can stay there? and due to air,
there will be a problem with my life in this matter.
Oh my friends this is the same condition of the people who search the
court of Lord of the world Allah. Where there will find magnificence of
the Allah then the searcher of him will be lost in this matter. Even
though the continuing meeting is exitence and but the start of existence
is upon his annihilation.

5. The supplication by the preacher for bad persons

One preacher when he will sit on the chair then he will pray for the
misleading people. He will spread his hands and prayer and he said
“Oh Allah have mercy upon cruel sinners, jokers, black heart
people, bad-natured people, idol worshippers, wrongdoers, and in
 99

short except all sinners he will not prayers for other persons in this
matter. He will not mention pure holy people in his supplication.
The people have asked oh Maulvi Sahab what is this style.? It is not
good to favor and a good deed to supplication for sinners and
mislead people.Tthe preacher told them that from them there was
much benefit for him in this matter. So for this reason I have made
this matter compulsory for him. They have spread such bad deeds
and works as well as cruelty that my soul was worried in this
matter. And I have left bad deeds and adopted good deeds. When I
look at the world then so there will be harm and wounds from those
bad and cruel persons till such that there was finish the lust of the
world with me. At last, I came on the right track in life.
Oh, dear persons if you see by justice that each and every enemy is
a supplication for you. So you left such an enemy and take shelter in
the loneliness and you will ask the favor and kindness of Allah in
this matter. And against it, your friends are in reality your enemies
and who keep you away from the court of Allah. And who engage
you in their meeting and visits in this matter.

6. The skinner painter who was unconscious in the scent bazaar

One skin painter by chance went to the bazaar of the scents and he was
become unconscious and was fallen there and his hands have become
bent.When there was smell of the scents reached to his mind he was
become unconscious and fell on the earth for this reason.All people
gathered around him. Some people kept his hand on his heart and some
smell the rose water on his nose. And did not understand that what smell
made him unconscious in this matter. Some persons began pressing his
head and palms. And some smells soft soil to him. Others have removed
his shirt and given air to him. When there is no benefit at all for these
endeavors some person has given news of this event to relatives of the
person in this matter. He told them that one person of your caste is
 100

fallen in such and such bazaar and he is in an unconscious condition and

it is not known why there is an attack of illness of . epileprasy and it is
not known what is the reason that he was fallen by walking in the
bazaar. One brother of a skin painter who was very sharp and wise by
nature and he came to the scent bazaar soon by running and he brought
some filth of the dog by hiding in his sleeve and by keeping away from
the crowd from the ill person and told them please wait I know the
illness of my brother. Upon knowing the reason for illness there is easy
to cure the disease in this matter.
In reality, he was able to know that in his mind there is filth layer by
layer in this matter and for wage earning my brother used to engage the
whole day in the filth and uncleanness of the skin cleaning and painting
works. And he was spent in such filthy conditions for a long period of
time. And it is possible the smell of scents made him unconscious in this
matter.
In short, such a young man asked people to go away from him so that no
person could able to know the details of his method of cure in this
matter. He acted with personal insight and began saying something with
his tongue and was taken his mouth on his ear and put filth of the dog on
his nose. When the smell of the dirt was reached to the mind of the
person than his scent effected mind by the dirt of the filth was become
fresh again. And after passing some time there came back movement in
the corpse and he has become conscious of this matter.
Dear friends who do not have benefit from the advice of Musk then
understand in this matter that he is habituated to the dirt of sins in this
matter.

(The following three stories from the Persian story book of the
Bostan of Shaik Saadi )

7. A traveler of the Faid desert

Shaik Saadi has stated that once he was on a journey in the Faid desert.
On one camp I slept such deeply that I was asleep till the departure from
 101

that destination in tiredness. There was overwhelming sleep upon me

very much. One camel rider scolded me that whether is my intention for
the death in the desert. And for this reason, you are sleeping carelessly
in the desert areas. Wake up soon as the caravan is leaving this place
soon. If you leave the caravan then you will die in the desolate desert
place. Keep in mind that at that time nobody will decrease the speed of
the journey. During this journey, each and every minute is very
important. So it should not be wasted in careless sleep in the desert
place.

Time is like a sword that is cutting off the veins of life

If you are wise then do not waste your single breathing
The caravan is leaving so start preparing for the travel
The bell rang so be careful and so now do not sleep

Explanation: Shaik Saadi with the help of this moral story has
explained to us the delicacies and difficulties of the journey of life. So
there should think no doubt in this matter. One who will not participate
in the caravan of life with much consciousness and alertness so will die
like the carless traveler of the Field desert.
The life of reality is mortal and in this matter, the result of successful
and unsuccessful will be the same and similar in this matter. But the
condition of careless persons will be great in a loss in this matter. And
the edges of the shirt will be away from graces of the good deeds and
the fate of them in the other world will be the punishment of hell which
will not end at all.
The time of life whatever may be so we have to get benefit in this
matter and each and every minute should be spent on such good deeds
which bring the best result in the hereafter.

8. The true story

 102

It is stated that one person died by the decree of Allah. And his
relatives and friends began mourning and loud and cry in this
matter as well as beating their chests.
One wise person told them what they are doing.? Whether you do
not know that the result which was seen by your relative and which
will have to see you also in your life period. Oh, weeping person why
you are weeping on the death of your child? He came into the world
as pure and he left the world pure also. You have to weep on your
condition as you came to the world pure but when you will leave
this world will be with the filth of the sins. So you should think in
this matter about another world before your death. and this is such
matter that we could not ignore whether you are weak or like a
wrestler so all have to taste death which is a must and sure in our
life span.

When a person will be put in the grave

You remember that you put in the grave
One day you will be gone under the earth
At the time your good deeds will help you
There will be no help of the passion of sins

Explanation: In this story, Saadi has shown one good rule of

happiness and satisfaction that for human being the great fear is
fear of death. And a great shock leaving the relatives upon their
deaths. By showing the fear of death in this matter it can convince
us that this reality can not be ignored in this matter. Then such is
this matter in reality so we have to ignore the fear of death in this
matter. Regarding the death of the relatives, they explain that this is
a matter of delay of someday so why you are worried about this
matter? Where your relatives went so after some period of time you
will also reach your destination.

9. The golden brick

 103

It is stated that one person found golden brick somewhere. Before

finding the brick that poor person strict follower prayers and
fasting as well as he used to engage in the remembrance of Allah
always. And he used to find satisfaction and happiness in his daily
recitals and endeavors in this matter and upon finding of the golden
brick his condition of heart was changed completely. And by leaving
the worship of Allah and now he began planning to get comfort and
luxuries of the world.
He began thinking about the following amenities for him and his
family members.
That there should be a have a big house and with it, there should be
attached one nice garden.
Sometimes he will think of good quality dresses and fine sleeping
bed sets.
The condition of his skull has become such that there was entered
one insect in it.
Due to worrying about such thinking, he went toward the jungle
area. And where he has seen one person making bricks with the
help of the soil of the grave .Upon seeing this his heart was taken
some lesson in this matter.Then he began thinking how he is a
foolish person and that he was given a place in his heart for the
golden brick. But as a matter of fact one day from the soil of the
grave there will be made bricks. I am worried by find the golden
brick and engaged totally in the mortal world. And I do not think
that my most costly capital is wasted in this matter.

The desire for Gold and silver is the curse for men
Oh wise man keep away free your heart by such desire
One day your existence will be mixed in the soil
So keep your look always on reality under the sky

Explanation:Shaik Saadi has pointed out the reality in this story is

that wealth will make the human heart hard. And he will leave
worship and enter into the worldly matter entirely. We could not
 104

ignore that some wealthy person who will be worshipers of Allah.

And they will take participate in good deeds as possible by them
But the majority of people in the world when they become wealthy
then they began thinking that each and everything is wealth only.
So surely they are at a loss in the both worlds in this matter.
It is known that there is no intention of Shaik Saadi that he does not
want to leave the world and hates the wealth in this world.
He is only saying that by finding the world do not leave the worship
of Allah and show carelessness in this matter. If you remember
Allah then wealth will become the grace of Allah for you. If in other
conditions it will become a curse and make wealthy people like
Qarun, Haman, and Shaddad and who deserved hell in this matter.

Later life and death of Maulana Rumi

 108

In the book of Masnavi book the great poetry book of Moulana Rumi ,
there are added many hundred stories about proverbs and tales of olden
times, stories of humor and laughter in it.In addition to other stories of
claims in the courts of judges and proofs of claim and decrees and moral
stories and their stories aspect as well as its final results and teaching
and also in this holy book, there are added an important and remarkable
attribute in the book is that the style of explanation of the teaching and
advices in which there are mentioned the importance of morals and
phycology as well as many hundred issues of matter of Sufism and
spiritualism.
And he has mentioned in such style and description which will be
entered in the depth of the heart. But this task of translation of the
Persian stories in the Urdu book by me was not completed due to being
so much busy with my work and engagements in this matter. As well as
there was much pressure and request from friends and well-wishers in
this matter.
 109

For a long period of time, there was thinking about translating all stories
of moral teaching into one Urdu book. So the student and general people
of our country are able to get the benefit of the favor of knowledge of
river of these moral stories were written by Moulana Rumi.
After that, there was not passed much time and during that time there
was a published book of Masnavi by Moulana Rumi by Qazi Talamaz
Hussain M.A. in new get up and he was given the title of the book
‘Marat Mathnavi’ and the pearls of advice which were found in the
original book here and there and for which he has compiled in the book
with togetherness in this matter. Upon this, as per this task there was
become easy and clear for Mirza Nizam Shah Labib to translate the
Persian book into Urdu version. He is a great scholar of Urdu language
and poet as well as a traveler of the world of Sufism and has attributes
of experience and a seasoned personality. He has done translations of
moral stories with much interest and fondness in the original language
of the Red Fort of Delhi. And at some place, he has added the taste of
proverb and sayings of Hyderabad Deccan which was his second
headquarter. And as per mentioning of the explanation of the words and
its meanings he has made translation’s color of Sufism were dark and
depth in this matter. So for this reason the translation book has become
hard and difficult for the general readers of the book in this matter and
he has done it because there will be damage to the aim of the text of the
Masnavi in the Persian language.
And for this reason, there was no option remaining except to rewrite the
Urdu translation once again in this matter and following matters from
the books were delisted for the above reason.
1. Those stories and examples which are a purely religious type or
belongs to the faith of the Muslim community should have been deleted.
2. Some stories are rational and good in their place in this book but if
these stories are selected separately then there will be known nakedness
of the story matter known to the women and children so such stories
have been ignored in this matter.
 110

3. Where there are arguments in deep and reasons and points lengthy
and have repeated and at this place, the short and simple way was

Preface

This is a book called "The Rumi Story Book 17," which is a very new
book and will be published in 2023 in the English language.
This is a small book in which the stories from the book "The Persian
Stories of the Rumi" are added upon its translation from Urdu book, and
in this book there are some great achievements of this great sheikh of
mysticism that are not yet known to the general public. These are
published in a very interesting style, so for this reason, the readers will
find great interest and attention in this matter.
 112

In this book, story details from the Urdu book " Hikayat Rumi part one"
are added by me upon its translation into English. And this is a well-
known and famous book that was written by Moulana Rumi in Persian
language and Mirza Nizam Shah Labib was translated this Persian
classic book in the Urdu language . And I am presenting this book in
the presence of the readers in the English version for the first time.
From the above facts and details, if the readers start reading this book’s
first chapter and do not stop reading till they reach its last chapter, some
interesting events as well as other great miracles and endeavors of this
holy saint are added, and this holy saint passed away from the world
many centuries ago.
Even though this is a small book, due to its importance, it is so great due
to the coverage of many interesting events and positive information in it
that it is like an ocean of knowledge and information about the holy
saint who passed away from the world upon doing his great endeavours
and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation of Islam in
foreign lands. So this book is a small one, but it will present an ocean of
knowledge and information for the guidance of people towards the right
path of Islam.
Writing about these great Sufi saints is not only difficult but also
extremely difficult, because they were not only great pious personalities
of their time in Iran and India but also great Sufi masters throughout the
world who struggled hard for the preaching and propagation of Islamic
ways centuries ago.
Rumi story books in Persian are well-known and famous books written
by Shaik Rumi. It is the enlightenment and wisdom of the treasure. This
book also revealed secrets and hinted at Sufism. And in this case, Shaik
Rumi was taken with the help of the stories.
 113

Mirza Nizam Shah Saheb Labib has done his best translation from
Persian book in the Urdu book and has given its title ‘Hikayat Rumi’
part one to add stories on each and every subject, and he was deemed to
be completely successful in this regard. As a result, this book has
become an important part of the Light's book series. We have confirmed
our hope that you will like this book with your heart and soul and get
favor in this matter.

17. The Rumi story book

.
1. The questioning of one Jew person with Hazrat Ali ibn Taleb

One unbeliever who was not aware of the greatness of Allah was
questioned by Hazrat Ali Ibn Taleb “You are sitting on the top of the
palace and for you, Allah is responsible for your safety and security
whether you know in this matter.
Hazrat Ali told him why not and He is the protector of our life and soul
from our childhood to our youth period. That person told him that if
such is the case then you fell from the palace and show so that my faith
in Allah and so that by seeing this I can have satisfaction in my faith and
by seeing this I can get surety and faith in this matter on Allah.
Hazrat Amir told him that be silent about whether he can have been a
victim of boldness in this matter. What is the position and option of the
slave person that due to his bad luck will involve in the act of the trial
with Allah?
Oh, unwise this is the option and power of Allah that who has power in
this matter to have trail upon each and every trail of the respiration of
the slave person. So that we should able to know our condition and we
are firm on this belief with the depth of our hearts. One who has built
the roof of the world so for him our trail is useless and has no result at
all.
First, have your trial, and then go ahead with the trial of the other person
in this matter and remember that where there is created the desire of the
trail of Allah in your heart so for this reason in the mosque of your
religion there is full of garbage and waste in this matter.
 120

2. The sitting of Hazrat Usman bin Affan silently on the pulpit

Listen to the story of Hazrat Usman bin Affan when he has become the
caliphate of the last prophet of Allah then he sat on the pulpit of the
prophet and there were three feet of the pulpit and Hazrat Abu Baker
used to sit at the second foot of the pulpit and when Hazrat Umar bin
Qattab was sat on the pulpit he was sat on the third feet and he has
become caliph of Islam for the protection and honor of the Islamic
religion. When the came rule period of the Hazrat Usman bin Affan then
he sat on the upper portion of the pulpit.
One person has questioned that both of them have not sat in the place of
the prophet of Allah so how you have got a position of excellence.
Hazrat Usman bin Affan told him that “If he was adapt the third place
then there will be doubt of the Hazrat Umar bin Qattab. And if I sit in
the place of Hazrat Abu Baker then people will say to me that he is
showing the equilibrium of Hazrat Abu Baker. But this seat belongs to
the prophet of Allah. So nobody could not think about my equality with
the prophet of Allah.
After saying that to the dear person of Allah instead of giving the
sermon he sat there silently by the evening prayer. And nobody has
dared to ask him to give a public sermon or left the mosque in this
matter.
There was prevailed horror on general or special people and there was
also prevailed light from the courtyard to the roof side. the persons of
look were observing and engaged in the light. And those who were blind
who was also become hot in the sunlight. So blind persons also feel the
heat of the light in them and feel that there was a sunset in the sky.

3. The eater of soil clod in the balance of the scale

One person who has a habit of eating soil clods. And one day he went to
the shop of grocery so that he can purchase sugar candy and the best
quality of the sugar. The grocer was able to know his habit and he was a
clever and hypocritical person. And he has had the weighing measure on
 121

the scale of the soil clod instead of stone for weighing. And he began by
saying that his sugar candy is very clear and transparent and good
quality. And he is having sugar in his shop. But the measure of the
weight of the scale is soil clod.

The purchaser told that “I want a good quality of sugar if there will be
weight measure of the scale will of soil he did not concern in this
matter. But when he has seen soil’s clod on the scale of the grocer he
began eager to eat it.

When the grocer went into the shop to break the sugar-candy pieces the
purchaser by turning his backside the foolish person of soil eater began
eating small pieces from the clod kept in the scale to balance. He was
hesitating about his theft work and whether shop keeper may watch his
activity. The shopkeeper has seen his activity with closed eyes and he
did not say to him in this matter but he told him in his heart that “Oh
foolish fellow you have kept the other thieves away by stealing the soil
pieces of the clod kept in the scale for weight measuring. If you steal
pieces from the soil clod then there will be less of the weight of measure
in this matter then what will be my loss and you will get less weight of
sugar candy and sugar for this reason. So you are doing your loss in this
matter.
Due to your foolishness, you are fearing by me of stealing and eating
soil pieces of the clod of the weight measuring. I am afraid that you can
eat less in this matter. Even though I am busy with my work but I am
watching your activity of theft in my shop. I am not such a foolish
person to allow you to take with you more sugar weight.
When you will weigh sugar at your side then you will able to know who
is foolish and who is wise person in this matter.

4. The reason for leaving of crown and throne by Hazrat Ibrahim

bin Adham
 122

Once he was sleeping in his royal bedroom. And palace guards were
watching the palace building from all sides. And suddenly he was heard
walking of the persons on the roof of his palace. And also he heard a
loud cry in this matter. And his eyes opened and he began thinking how
dare the person walking in the royal palace in the night time. He called
from his window who are you.?

“Whether you are a man or a fairy”. And he has seen one strange group
of people. And they by lower their heads said in the sound of humility.
We are searching since the beginning of the night. The king asked them
what they are searching for. They told him that “They are searching for
their lost camel.” The king told him “Whether how the camel will climb
on the roof of the palace.”?
They replied to the king that “When there will be no climb of the camel
on the palace then how you will search Allah upon sitting on the royal
throne in this matter.”

5. The throwing of a wall nuts in the water by a thirsty person

There was water full in one pit. One thirsty person came there and he
reached the tree and began plucking the wall nuts from the tree and
throwing in the water pit.
Upon throwing of wall nuts on the water surface from tree height there
will be a sound of falling off in the water pit. And there will be some
bubbles on the water's surface.
One wise person told him that “Oh young man what are you doing in
this matter? If you throw all wall nuts from the tree then there will be no
decrease in water level deepness for you. As much as wall nuts are
falling in the water and they sucking of water and for this reason, the
water level is decreasing in this matter and there will be no benefit to
you.
He told him that “The meaning of my work is not throwing of wall nuts
and see it carefully does not watch its manifest way. The aim of my
 123

work is there should come to the sound of throwing walnuts and

watching the bubble on the water's surface only.Is there any good work
of the thirsty person in the world that he should move around the water
reservoir like Haji persons think good the circumambulation around the
holy Kaba in Makkah? And in the same way a thirsty person like to
move around the water and want to hear the sound of the water.

6. The prize of the king to the poet and his minster’s interference

One poet have written poetry in praise of the king and submitted it to the
court of the king. The king was generous and he has given him one
thousand gold coins with the necessaries of the prize. The minister told
him this reward is less so the poet will be not satisfied in this matter. So
he may be given ten thousand gold coins as well as the robe of honor.
The mind of the poet echoed the thanks and prayers of the king. The
poet is able to find out how he got such a huge prize in the court of the
king. And who has shown his ability and skill to the king of the
country?
The courtiers told him the minister whose name Hasan has good
manners as well as a generous heart. And due to his endeavors, it has
happened in this matter. The poet has written one long encomium in
praise of the minister.
After some years the poet was become helpless and was become
poor and even could not get food and clothes. He thought as he
was tried in the court of the king previously so he should again
visit that court for his success in this matter.
Upon thinking this while dreaming in his heart about this the
poet reached in the court of the king. The poet’ present will be poetry
and which will present in the presence of his generous king. And
mortgage it there and for wishing and desiring the people's help of
generosity and favor.

With his wishes, the poet reached the court of the king. And with him,
each and every couplet’s value is more than many thousand bags of
 124

money. Especially the poet who brings pearls from the depth of the sea.
So the value of the poet's poetry will is not able to asses in this matter.
In short, the king announced a reward of one thousand gold coins as per
his practice. But at that time there was no Hatim heart minister in the
court of the king as he passed away from the world and in his place,
there was another minister who was cruel and as well miser person. The
minister told the king that there are many bills of important expenditure
pending. So giving such a large amount of reward to the poet is not
proper. If you order then I will make him agree on the poet for one-
fourth of the reward amount.The courtier told that poet has given ten
thousand golden coins by the king. So after sucking the juice of sugar
cane nobody did not like reed of the sugar cane stick. And after losing
the kingdom nobody like the work of the beggar.
The minister told that I will make worry such him that he will weep in
this matter by waiting for the prize of the king. After that, if I will give
soil of the way then he will like it as follower petals. The king told him
to do as per his wish but make him happy in this matter as he is an
admirer and praying for us.
The minister told him that you can give me such 100 beggars and you
may be carefree in this matter.
In short, giving the reward the minister delayed and the season of winter
already passed away. When spring season came and the poet when
explain his trouble and needs then the minister began making much
delay and reasons to postpone it. At last, the poet told him to scold
instead of the reward and prize so that he can know that he has received
everything. And will engage in the work of praying for you. As such
waiting period has killed him very much and taken away my soul from
the body. At least you reply to me on this matter clearly. So that his life
may be free from the greed of the net in this matter.
The minister has paid him a reward of the amount of one-fourth to him.
So the poet began thinking that last time he has received a huge reward
from the king and this time prize of the thorn branch was given and
which is also such delay.
 125

The people told him that during the period of the generous minister, he
got such a prize and who passed away from the world and may Allah
bless him. As he has not left so there is no remaining generosity. So
accept whatever you have received and leave this place as the minister
will snatch away the given reward amount. Oh the careless person for
giving you reward money we have opened his fist with many tricks and
endeavors in this matter.
The poet told them “Oh kind persons tell from which place this village
person is here. And what is the name of this thief of the shrouds from
grave yards.?” The persons told him “His name is Hasan.”
The poet told “Oh Allah both persons have the same name of Hasan.?
There was one Hasan and by the movement of his pen, there will be a
benefit to many thousand ministers and rich persons will be benefitted.
And this is such Hasan and from his ugly beard, there will be possible of
the making of the ropes in this matter.”

7. The decrease in the daily allowance of the slave

There was one slave of one king, and his wisdom was dead because his
greed was living with him and he was negligent in his duties. The king
was given the order to decrease his daily allowance, and if he lodges any
complaint or objection in this matter, then his name may be removed
from the register of the slaves. Upon decreasing the daily allowance, the
slave became unhappy and rude. If he has wisdom with him, then he
will understand the matter and regret it with the king. But seeing his
condition of anger; he began making his tall talk with the king and
began sending his application in the presence of the soft-natured king of
the country.
Oh, dear person, see that your body is like such an application, so see
carefully whether it is suitable to present it in the court of the king. Sit in
any corner, open your application, and read every word and letter of the
alphabet, whether such is suitable for the king’s court or not. If it is not
suitable for the king, then tear it into pieces. And prepare another good
application. And get your desire and aim from the king.
 126

Before sending the application, he went to see the supervisor of the

royal kitchen and told him, "Oh, miser the kitchen owner, and from the
generous king, it is not good from his status and generosity that whether
it is not an act of miser to decrease his allowance and make him worry
in this matter. This is a beggar’s act. As in the look of a king, dust is
equal to gold.” The supervisor has told him many reasoned arguments.
But the slave was rejected by all of them due to his greed. When he got
food for his lunch in less quantity, he scolded the king, but there was no
result at all.
The slave told to the persons of the royal kitchen that you people are
doing this act from your side in this matter.And they said never, we are
obeying the royal orders or you less quantity not from minor workshop
employees but from the real king of the country. So do not blame for the
bow and but you are hurt by the arrow of the power of the strong hands
of the bow owner.
In short, that slave went to the house and in anger wrote his petition to
the king in which he praised the king for his generosity and favor. Even
though in the application there were words of praise and encomium of
the king but in it there was the smell of anger and sadness.
The king read it and threw it there and not given a reply to him and
orally he told that for the slave except food nothing he cares in other
matter. So for the foolish fellow, there is good for silence instead of the
reply. He has no care of our company and he does not want our
nearness by him in this matter. He was involved in small matter and left
the real matter. When there was no reply so the slave has become angry.
And in anger clear water also becomes dirty. And due to his madness,
he has lost his peace of mind and for this reason, he has also lost his
sleepiness. And day and night he began living by thinking of worry that
why the king did not give reply to him. He began thinking about the bad
intention of the messenger whether
He was given his letter to the king or not.It is possible that messenger
instead of giving the application and may hide somewhere. That infidel
was like the water behind the grass. He thought that it is good to submit
his selection with a suitable petition in which he mentioned complaints
 127

about the supervisor of the royal kitchen and the messenger of the
applications due to his ignorance. He did not search around his place.
And he did not check himself. And he has adopted himself the wrong
way. He has written another petition in which he did much loud and
cried that I have sent my petition which was lost on the way and there
was done mistake and there was done negligence. But the king read the
application and did not reply and he was kept silent. So the king
becomes much hard for him. And the slave began sending one
application after another.
At last the last fifth petition was sent by him. In which he wrote that
please consider this slave who belongs to him. If you reply will not be
out of the mercy. If you have the look of kindness upon your slave then
there will be no less in your dignity.
But the wise persons told me that this is not a difficult matter. But the
reality is that he is a foolish person and upon an unwise person, there
will be the curse of Allah. If I forgive his fault and crime then his affect
of defect will transfer to me. One person’s itch will be affected by 100
persons. Specially concession to such an unwise person is dangerous.
May Allah may not give any fire worshipper an unwise slave. And due
to his curse not only earth but clouds will become dry in this matter.

8. The filling of pieces of cloth in the turban by a Fakiha

One Fakhi (Muslim jurist) person, upon cleaning of the cloth pieces, has
filled in behind his turban,So that when he sits at a lower place in the
meeting, his turban looks heavy and big. And pieces of the cloth the
show of the turban has been double and very impressive. And like the
heart of the infidel, it was bad and worse. The pieces of rag dress and
pieces of cotton were in the turban.
 128

He used to go early to school, so with respect, he can find something in

his hand. In one dark place in the garbage area, one thief was standing
who used to take away the dress of the body. He was there for his task,
and he struck on the turban and snatched it away. He ran very fast from
there so that he could sell it and make money to attend his work. The
Fakhia called him “Oh Son to back his turban for a while. After this,
you can take it away from me. You are flying with four feathers. You
see the turban for a while. You open the turban with your hands. And
after that, if you like, you can take it. I will give it to you. No problem
for me.” When the thief opened the turban while running, many
thousand pieces of the cloth fell on the earth. Only one large old piece
of cloth was found in that large turban. And which he has thrown on the
earth and he told him, “Oh, mean fellow, due to your fraud, you have
made my endeavour wasteful and useless. This was your fraud and
deceit to deceive me of that which was given me desire and greed to
srike on the turban and to take away from your side. You have no shame
in adding such waste pieces of cloth to the turban. And which has given
me fondness for the sin of no taste in this matter.”
Explantion :The Fakhia told him that “Yes, I have deceived you, but in
this matter, I advise you that the world is beautiful and wonderful, but
by its loud and crying, it has shown its defects in it.It was said to all that
"Oh person, you are engaged in the praise of the spring season and its
beauty, so keep in mind the cold and yellow colour of the winter season
in this matter.”

8. The declaration of the life events of one person against

reality
 129

One person came from the country of Iraq in the worst condition of
livelihood. Friends of his have asked him about living in Iraq and about
his days of separation from his native country and friends.
He started his story of a journey no matter how far he was away from
his country and friends, but his journey was auspicious and good for
him in this matter.
He continued his conversation further and said, May Allah keep the
caliph long-lived and in prospering condition. He was given a robe of
honour to him ten times. He was praised by the caliph so much that he
surpassed the limits of his praise in this matter. The friends told him that
"He came from Iraq in the worst and ugly condition, and these are
witnesses of his big flaw in this matter.”
His head and body were in a naked condition, and he was looking as the
structure of the bones when he came back from Iraq country.And the
thanks, as he is giving praise for the theft or for something that someone
else has asked him about in this matter,
Even though his tongue is making a web of praise like spider for the
caliph and his condition of appearance and his hands and feet are
making complaints, Whether in the robe of honour given by the caliph
of Baghdad, in which there were no shoes and trousers available,
He has told me that “In things given by the caliph, there was no shortage
of anything due to his generosity and favour. But I have distributed all
things due to my generosity among poor and needy persons on the way
of Allah, and in its reward I got a long period of my life.”
The friends told him that “The wealth was gone, but why is there smoke
coming from your mouth? What and why do these things happen in this
matter? Or your heart, which is making different shapes due to a
problem in this matter. And which is causing of pain by prick of the
thorns. On your affected face, there are no signs of purity or
gentleness.”
 130

As a result, the generous person who will be in him will have thousands
of hidden abilities. And he will have the ability to share good and
charitable things with him immediately.
If the wealth is spent on the way of Allah, then there will be created in
his innermost 100 kinds of life that will become the successors of the
such wealth in this matter.
You are telling me you have eaten something sweet, but in your mouth,
there is a smell of garlic coming from there.
Oh, person, do not make praise useless in this matter in the false way of
pride. And the example of the heart is like a mansion in this matter. The
neighbours of that mansion will be many. And those persons will be
able to tell things by seeing the inside condition of the great mansion
through holes, cracks, windows, and walls. But there will be not find
such any a gap in the mansion that there will be damage to the owner of
the mansion.

9. Advice to the bird hunter by the bird

One hunter caught a bird by spreading the net. And one bird said to him,
"Oh, pious leader, it is possible that if you catch a small bird like me and
eat it, then what will you have in this matter? Till now, how many cows
and goats have you eaten and how many camels have you sacrificed?.
When you, by eating such big animals, are not satisfied in this matter,
then by eating the small flesh and bones of my body, you will not be
satisfied.
Instead of this, if you free me, then for this matter, it will belong to
your courage and bravery.. And secondly, if you will free me, then I will
 131

give you my three advices, which will be beneficial to you and help you
always.
First, I will give you advice by sitting on your hand, and second, I will
give you advice by sitting on the wall of your house, and upon hearing
that advices, you will be very happy and satisfied in this matter. And
you will be proud of your knowledge. And third and last advice, I will
disclose to you by sitting on the branch of the tree. And by following
these three advices, you will become a pious and good person.
The hunter was become agreed to free the bird from net and he was
loose the net. The bird came out from the net and jumped on the
hunter's hand.
The bird began telling that the first advice of hand is that "For matter of
impossible, which will be said by any person who may be whatever, do
not have belief in him.”
When the bird gave her first advice, she flew from hand to hand and sat
on the wall of the house, saying, "Do not remember the difficulties that
have passed away, as well as do not desire the comfort and luxuries of
the past."
And after this, the bird gave the third advice: "In my stomach, there is
one pearl of weight of ten dirhams that can make you wealthy, as well
as make your children prosperous and rich persons and the example of
such a pearl is not found in the whole world. It is regrettable that, by
freeing me, you have lost such a pearl in this matter and which is not
your fate.
Upon hearing this, the hunter started a loud cry by holding his stomach,
like the woman at the time of the delivery of the baby would make a
loud cry by turning here and there.
Many times he will take cold respiration by his mouth. And began
saying, “Oh, I regret how unlucky a person I am, and left the bird. Oh, I
 132

am drowning in the water of loss. Oh, bird, what is that bad movement
of your freedom for me? You have looted me by showing me heaven in
the palm.” The bird said, “I have already given my advice well to you
that do not have regret for matters that have already passed away as it
happened and, so regret in this matter is not beneficial at all.”

Whether you have not understood my advice or not heard it due to your
deafness, And there was a second piece of advice given to you: do not
believe in impossible matters; otherwise, you will be misled in this
matter.
To think that my body’s weight is not more than three dirhams. So how
will I find a pearl of ten dirhams weight in my stomach?
Upon this condition of mind, the bird hunter was set, and he told the
bird, Yes, you are right in this matter.
He told the bird, Oh, delicate body, tell at last your third advice to me.
The bird said, "Oh, what you said is good. As you have not acted on my
two advices and they were wasted, I will not give my third advice to
you. By saying this with happiness, the bird went towards the jungle.

The End.

Later life and death of Maulana Rumi

In the book of Masnavi book the great poetry book of Moulana Rumi ,
there are added many hundred stories about proverbs and tales of olden
times, stories of humor and laughter in it.In addition to other stories of
claims in the courts of judges and proofs of claim and decrees and moral
stories and their stories aspect as well as its final results and teaching
and also in this holy book, there are added an important and remarkable
attribute in the book is that the style of explanation of the teaching and
advices in which there are mentioned the importance of morals and
phycology as well as many hundred issues of matter of Sufism and
spiritualism.
And he has mentioned in such style and description which will be
entered in the depth of the heart. But this task of translation of the
Persian stories in the Urdu book by me was not completed due to being
so much busy with my work and engagements in this matter. As well as
 137

there was much pressure and request from friends and well-wishers in
this matter.
For a long period of time, there was thinking about translating all stories
of moral teaching into one Urdu book. So the student and general people
of our country are able to get the benefit of the favor of knowledge of
river of these moral stories were written by Moulana Rumi.
After that, there was not passed much time and during that time there
was a published book of Masnavi by Moulana Rumi by Qazi Talamaz
Hussain M.A. in new get up and he was given the title of the book
‘Marat Mathnavi’ and the pearls of advice which were found in the
original book here and there and for which he has compiled in the book
with togetherness in this matter. Upon this, as per this task there was
become easy and clear for Mirza Nizam Shah Labib to translate the
Persian book into Urdu version. He is a great scholar of Urdu language
and poet as well as a traveler of the world of Sufism and has attributes
of experience and a seasoned personality. He has done translations of
moral stories with much interest and fondness in the original language
of the Red Fort of Delhi. And at some place, he has added the taste of
proverb and sayings of Hyderabad Deccan which was his second
headquarter. And as per mentioning of the explanation of the words and
its meanings he has made translation’s color of Sufism were dark and
depth in this matter. So for this reason the translation book has become
hard and difficult for the general readers of the book in this matter and
he has done it because there will be damage to the aim of the text of the
Masnavi in the Persian language.
And for this reason, there was no option remaining except to rewrite the
Urdu translation once again in this matter and following matters from
the books were delisted for the above reason.
1. Those stories and examples which are a purely religious type or
belongs to the faith of the Muslim community should have been deleted.
2. Some stories are rational and good in their place in this book but if
these stories are selected separately then there will be known nakedness
 138

of the story matter known to the women and children so such stories
have been ignored in this matter.
3. Where there are arguments in deep and reasons and points lengthy
and have repeated and at this place, the short and simple way was
followed for the translation of the stores.
4. In short to keep the stories of the book in an interesting way and to
have a fondness for each and every reader and as well as in this matter
there was taken care and attention to moral instruction and the pious
teaching style of Moulana Rumi in this matter.

Preface

This is a book called "The Rumi Persian Story Book 18," which is a
very new book and will be published in 2023 in the English language.
This is a small book in which the stories from the book "The Persian
Stories of the Rumi" are added upon its translation from Urdu book, and
in this book there are some great achievements of this great sheikh of
mysticism that are not yet known to the general public. These are
published in a very interesting style, so for this reason, the readers will
find great interest and attention in this matter.
 140

In this book, story details from the Urdu book " Hikayat Rumi part one"
are added by me upon its translation into English. And this is a well-
known and famous book that was written by Moulana Rumi in Persian
language and Mirza Nizam Shah Labib was translated this Persian
classic book in the Urdu language . And I am presenting this book in
the presence of the readers in the English version for the first time.
From the above facts and details, if the readers start reading this book’s
first chapter and do not stop reading till they reach its last chapter, some
interesting events as well as other great miracles and endeavors of this
holy saint are added, and this holy saint passed away from the world
many centuries ago.
Even though this is a small book, due to its importance, it is so great due
to the coverage of many interesting events and positive information in it
that it is like an ocean of knowledge and information about the holy
saint who passed away from the world upon doing his great endeavours
and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation of Islam in
foreign lands. So this book is a small one, but it will present an ocean of
knowledge and information for the guidance of people towards the right
path of Islam.
Writing about these great Sufi saints is not only difficult but also
extremely difficult, because they were not only great pious personalities
of their time in Iran and India but also great Sufi masters throughout the
world who struggled hard for the preaching and propagation of Islamic
ways centuries ago.
Rumi story books in Persian are well-known and famous books written
by Shaik Rumi. It is the enlightenment and wisdom of the treasure. This
book also revealed secrets and hinted at Sufism. And in this case, Shaik
Rumi was taken with the help of the stories.
 141

Mirza Nizam Shah Saheb Labib has done his best translation from
Persian book in the Urdu book and has given its title ‘Hikayat Rumi’
part one to add stories on each and every subject, and he was deemed to
be completely successful in this regard. As a result, this book has
become an important part of the Light's book series. We have confirmed
our hope that you will like this book with your heart and soul and get
favor in this matter.

1. One woman seeking help from Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Taleb

One woman went in the presence of Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Taleb, and she
told him that her boy was boarded up on the drain's upper side, and I am
calling him, but he is not coming down towards me. If I leave him there,
I am afraid that he may fall into the drain water. If I will alert him to the
danger, but he is unable to understand the matter of danger. He is not
following my hand signal of warning. And there is a difficulty that, if he
will understand, he is also ignoring in this matter. I have shown him
milk coming from the nipple to him but he is not paying attention to
danger.
“Oh, helper of helpless persons, please help me in this matter. My heart
is shivering in this matter of whether the fruit of my heart may fall and
be scattered here and there.”
Hazrat Ali told that "To stand one boy on the upper storey so that there
will be diverted attention of the boy towards another boy and he will
come to see him from there slowly as boys will like fellow-creatures of
chirden and go near them in this matter. When the woman stood beside
another boy, her son came slowly towards him, laughing and playing.
And in this way, he was safe and secure after falling into the draining
water as fellow creatures will like and love in this matter.
Explanation :The prophet belongs to a fellow creature of man. So due to
the attraction of a fellow creature, the mankind was safe and secure
from falling down the drain.
The prophet has told us that "I am the same as you. There is wisdom in
this matter that people should go towards the same fellow creature in
this matter and not be misled.
 147

2.The king was angry with his courtier

One king was become angry and want to punish him severally as such
that there will come smoke from his heart of that person.So he taken a
sword in his hand and there was nobody there dare to interfere or
advice him to stop such an act of the king in this matter.
But one courter whose name was Emad al-Mulk was fallen on the
floor. And at that time king was put his sword of anger on the floor. And
at that time he told that " If there is Dev then I will forgive him. And if
there is Satan then I will forgive him. When there is your step in
between this then the crime which may be much severe I will ignore it.
And I am in the condition of agree with him."
Now hear that the courtier who was free from the recommendation of
the person and he was become angry in this matter with the person who
has recommended his case with king of the country. He sat by looking at
the side of the wall so that he could not see Emad al-Mulk and he can
not talk with him and say salam to him.When the other people were
surprised and they saw his such angry and ignoring with his protecting
person who recommended him with the king for saving his life from his
sword.
 148

The people began regretting in this matter and began saying that if he
is not mad then he will not leave friendship of his protector and who
was tried to give him new life. And who saved from sword which was
kept on his neck by the king of the country.He should have give respect
with that person like becoming soil of the his helper. And instead of this
his treatment is opposite of it. And he was become proud in the matter.
He was become enemy of his kind and merciful friend.
One counsellor who was given him good advice in this matter and told
him “Why you are becoming opposite of favour of his helper.”
He told that “There is sacrifice my life on the king of the country but
why he reccommened in between me and the king. Except the mercy of
the king I do not need favour of anybody in this matter.And I do not
need protection of anybody except of the king of the country.I have
decided not to take help of anybody except the king.”
If the king will cut his neck one time then he can submit his neck 60
times. My duty is to spare my life and live without following my soul in
this matter. And king’s duty is to forgive sacrifice of my life.There is
much value of that head which will be cut by the hand and sword of
the king of the country.There is curse on such head which will go in the
presence of unrelated person for his wants and needs in this matter.”

3. The weeping of an Arabian person upon dying time of his

dog
One dog was dying, and there was his owner sitting beside him. He
began weeping and making a loud cry. And there was flowing from his
eyes. And he was saying there was prevailed upon him judgement day.
 149

So what can he do in this matter? What endeavour I can do. Oh, my

dear, how can I live after your death?
At that time, one beggar was from there, and he was asked with him
what event had happened and for which you are weeping in this matter.
He told him that "he has one faithful dog who died. see that he is dying
on the way. And for him, he used to bring hunted animals and used to
guard my house at night time.The dog was like a tiger with bright eyes,
and he used to run away the thieves at night from my house. And bring
me hunted animals to my house. He will use to going behind the hunting
animals like arrows. He has much content, and he is without any desires
or wishes. He used to not allow enemies to come near him. And in spite
of this, he was a faithful and kind animal.
The person has asked him what his illness is.? Whether there was a
wound on his body The Arabian person told me that "he died due to
hunger." The fakir person told him, "Oh brother, have patience upon this
event and on this illness of this death." And Allah will give reward to
those who have patience in this matter.
After this fakir person asked him "Oh, head man, what is the bag on
your back side of your body?"? He said he had some bread and other
food materials for the preparation of cooking items for tomorrow. I am
taking all these items to maintain power and energy in my hands.
The fakir person asked, why did you not give bread and curry to your
dog? The Arabian person told him that "I did not keep my dog with such
love and favour in this matter in the house. You know that bread can
not be found in the bazaar without money. But tears shed by me are
useless in this matter. So I will wipe tears from my eyes.
The fakir person told him, "Oh, person, there will be fall soil on your
head full of musk, and with you, one loaf of bread is better than your
tear. The tears are such blood, and you have it make water due to your
 150

grief. Oh, absurd person, with you there was not remained blood equal
to the soil.

4.The objection of one Hakim (doctor) to the peacock

In one jungle, one peacock was find removing his feathers from his
body. At that time, one Hakim went there by walking on the spot, and
he asked him, “Oh peacock, why are you removing such a beautiful
feathers from its roots from your body.? And how your heart accepted
this matter.? That is such a nice dress you are removing from your body
and throwing in the mud. Due to the beauty of the feather, the Quran-
Conner kept your feathers in the Quran as they were kept page break
reminder. And for good and cold air, the people make hand fans and use
by your feathers. How is this un-gratefulness and dare, and you do not
know who is your painter? or we know that by knowing this, you are
doing this dare in this matter and by knowing you are making your new
shape.
When the peacock heard the hakim’s advice, he began weeping loudly
in this matter. The peacock wept with such a voice that all who were
watching him began weeping in this matter for this reason. The person
who was asked about the peacock's reason for removing feathers from
its body was ashamed in this matter. And he began thinking about why
he had asked him to reason in the wrong way. As he was already filled
with sadness in this matter. I have disturbed, in the tears that were
falling on the earth, hundreds of his replies were there in them.
 151

When he was weeping, The peacock told him that “Just now you were
in the condition of coloring. And you are not seeing that due to these
feathers, there were many thousands of problems upon me. How unkind
hunters are there, for the sake of my beautiful feathers, who fix their
nets in the jungles? There are many hunters who used a bow and arrow
to target me for the sake of obtaining the feathers. As I do not have such
power to keep me away from such problems, difficulties, and death, so I
want to become in bad shape by removing my beautiful feather from my
body so that I can become safe and secure on the edge of this mountain
and in this jungle area.
For me, soul is better than feathers by many thousand degrees because it
will remain and the body will finish.
Oh, young man, these feathers have been the source of my pride and
show. For the prideful persons, Allah will involve them in many
hundred problems and difficulties. So, my dear, if you want safety and
security, then leave sources of pride and show in this matter.”

5. The keeping of one deer in the stable of the donkeys

One hunter caught one deer during his hunting in the jungle, brought it
to his house, and kept the deer in the stable, where there were many
donkeys everywhere. And for this reason, the deer began running at all
places in the stable in his worried condition.
The whole night, the hunter kept grass before the donkeys, and each and
every donkey was eating grass with as much fondness and taste as he
was sucking juice from a sugar cane stick. But that deer was running at
one place, then he ran to some other place, and sometimes, due to smoke
and dust, he would turn his face here and there.
 152

If any animal is kept alone with other fellow creatures, then such
animals will feel it, and for this reason, such animals will think of it as
punishment for their deaths in this matter.
So the prophet Sulaiman told that"if Hud Hud will not submit
reasonable proof of his absence, then he will give an order of his killing
in this matter or give him severe punishment, and it will limit him
greatly." What is that pun? That is to be imprisonment, not with fellow
creatures.
"Oh, my son, you are getting punishment in your body. And the bird of
your soul is imprisoned with other creatures."
In short, that good fragrance of musk deer’s pod was kept in the stable
of the donkeys like under punishment there. And he was upset, like fish
on the land or like keeping dung (of sheep, goats, and camels) and musk
in the same box was getting punishment.
One donkey told him, Oh, animal of the jungle, you have the mind of a
king and rich people, so sit down there. And another donkey laughed
and told him that "From the ebb and flow of the tide of the world there
came a big shining pearl. So this pearl cannot be sold at a cheaper
price."
The third donkey said, "If you are a delicate body of nature, then go and
sit on the crown of the royal king with the help of a pillow there."
The fourth donkey left eating grass due to indigestion and was given his
share of grass by the deer. And the deer, shaking his neck, told him that
"He would not eat the grass on him. And I am becoming weak." And
that donkey told him that "I knew in this matter. Whether you are
showing your position of dignity or want to show your status and pomp,
for this reason, you are not eating the grass."
The deer told him, "Eat it, as this belongs to you. As a result, your parts
of the body are fresh and living. But I belong to places of verdure that I
 153

are liked by me.I have lived under the shadow of big trees and beautiful
gardens. If, due to the fate of Allah, I am facing trouble and difficulty,
then how can I suddenly change my habit of gentleness? I have become
a beggar in this matter. But my face is not like a beggar's. If my dress is
old but I am not old, I am such that I have eaten flowers of tulip and
hyacinth with much delicacy, good style, and slowly. My musk pod is
wistful in this matter because of its fragrance, which will run away with
oud and amber. And it will be smelled by such a person who has a nose
with him."
The donkeys live in an odur of dung; for them, such deer’s fragrance is
not legal. When the donkeys move, each of them smells urine from the
private parts of other donkeys. So such reasons as why there should be a
smell of musk deer’s pod are important in this matter to the donkey.

6. The hearing of the voices of baby dogs by one holy person from
the stomach of a dog
One person was engaged in Chilla , and he has seen in his dream that a
female dog is pregnant. And he was passing on the way when he
suddenly heard puppies’ barking. As if the pupies were in the female
dog’s stomach. He was surprised by these voices. And he was surprised
at how he heard voices even though they were in the stomach. And to
his surprise, he woke up from the dream. But in his wake-up condition,
his surprise also increased very much. In the Chilla (In Sufism, "Chilla"
is a spiritual practice of penance and solitude. In this ritual, a
mendicant or ascetic attempts to remain seated in a circle practicing
meditation techniques without food for 40 days and nights in imitation
of the Arba'een. The word "chilla" is derived from the Persian word
chehel "forty". Chilla is commonly performed in a solitary cell called a
chilla-khana.) there was no other person. So that there will be a
 154

explation in this matter. So in this situation, I have referred this matter

to the court of Allah for help.He said, “Oh Allah. I was surprised to hear
the sound of the pupies from the side of the female dog. In this Chilla,
there is negligence in the remembrance of you and your memory. Oh,
open my wings so that I can come out of the situation of surprise in this
matter. In his reply, he heard a call from the angel, who said that “It was
an example of the pride of ignorant people. It means that they express
matters of pride by closing their eyes. If the pupies of the female dog
will call from the stomach, then this will be an absurd thing. They will
not be able to hunt or engage in the protection and guarding of the
houses at night time.Even though they have not seen wolves. So that
they can run away from them. And they have not seen the thieves so that
they can run away from them. As well in the condition of greed and
wishes, there is the same position of the ignorant persons in that they are
weak in the look and thinking of the matter.And in the matters of
impudence and abuse they are like brave persons.

7.The construction of a room by Ayaz for keeping his dress and

sleepers
Ayaz, who was a wise slave and who used to keep his old dresses and
sleepers in one room and he used to go to his room daily alone and
watch his old sleepers of the foot and say, “These are your sleepers; be
careful; do not follow pride and show.”
The people have complained to the king that “Ayaz has constructed one
room in which he stores much gold and silver. There is also one small
wine container there and in the room where he is not allowing anyone to
visit his room. And he will keep the door of the room closed always.
The king told “ Due to work of the slave he was surprised and he
 155

would have keep what thing and matter not hidden from us.” The king
gave an order to one courtier to enter the room at midnight. And take
away all things from the room in your custody. And disclose all details
to courtiers in this matter. What is the meaning that, in spite of our
favour and kindness, and due to his nature, he is keeping hidden gold
and silver in his room. Even the king has good faith in his fair and pure
dealings. But due to showing the goods of the slave to courtiers, he was
played such a trick and was given the order, “Oh courtiers, go and open
his room in the middle of the night, and I have given you all his wealth
and properties.”
The king was telling to the courtiers but his conscience was upset for
giving such order by knowing all details in this matter about his trusted
slave. So when he will hear about my cruel order then what he will be
think about me?.Then he will say that after this event as per swearing of
his religion and his faith the respect and position of will be increased to
very much higher level.If I will strike upon him of 100 swords for trail
of him but he will not say anything in this matter and his love and
affection will not be less for me.
In short all courtiers of the king went to the door of the room of Ayaz at
the midnight time to loot his wealth and wine container.Some persons
by trick have opened the lock of the door by tools.As there was find one
big and heavy lock on the door.Ayaz was kept lock on the door not for
his show but he has put the lock to kept his secret from the general
public.
Upon opening the door all these jealcious persons as in the pot of butter
milk bees and mosquetos will fall and made loud and cry in the love of
the butter milk in the pot and create there odur in this matter and could
not drink it for this reason and could not have power and energy to come
out of the pot.
 156

The courtiers have checked both right and left side of the room and
there was only find old dress and sleepers of the slave was there in the
whole room and except these things nothing find there.
They told among them that there should be find something in the
room.These old and torn sleepers are kept there to show only.They
began saying to bring sharp end rods to dig under ground reserviours
and drains.
So they have dig the area at all sides and they dig many trenches and
pits in this matter and at last by regret upon their action they began
filling the trenches and pits.
After this due to blindness of their wisdom they have made holes in the
walls of the room. And that place also there was find nothing.The
witness of absurd and misdeeds of the group were left on the walls in
the shape of the hole on the wall.It was not possible the wall for loud
and cry but nobody did not refuse about innocence of the Ayaz in this
matter.
But now all were worried what reason they will explain and excuse to
the king in this matter.So that they will be free court of the king for the
their false charges about Ayaz by them. At last in the condtion of
disappointment by cutting their lips and hands in the bloody condition
and by beating on their heads by covering dust and soil on the heads and
by making face of regret approached in the court of king of country.
The king by seeing them asked tell me why your armpits are empty with
gold and jewels. And whether you have kept hidden wealth and jewls of
Ayaz some where but your faces are without any happiness and joy of
the wealth in this matter. And all courtiers were regret in the court of
king. And all were prostrated on the floor like shadows before the
moon.Upon their mean and false charges failure they have with them
shroud and swords before the king. And all were cutting their fingers
due to regret in this matter. All were telling to the king if they will be
 157

killed then it will be legal in this matter.If you will show your favour
and kindness then it will show our salvation and favour to us.
The king told he will not punish them or forgive but he will refer this
matter to Ayaz.As difficulity and problem which was passed on the
body of Ayaz. There were wounds have been caused on the body of
veins of the innocent and good deed person Ayaz. So Ayaz pass order
of court upon such criminals. As we are waiting eagerly for taking
revenge upon these culprits.
Ayaz told oh king you have also power to take revenge. When the sun
rise then starts will diminish and vanish away from there. So what
position and power of venus, mercury and meteor to show their
existence before the sun of the world. Oh Ayaz whether you have love
with your dress and sleeprs and this show your idol worship or not.?
And with these two items you have love equal of soul and for this love
you have hang two items in your room in this matter.How long you keep
these old things with you.Tell me what is manifest love and affection of
this old sleeper. And against this sleeper why there is your love and
likeness.So tell secret of the dress and sleepers in this matter.So that the
persons who are not obedient become faithful to us.
Ayaz told that “He know in this matter such that all these things are
given by you,otherwise I am like dress and sleeper in this matter and
nothing in this matter.So I take care of safety of them as it is his original
condition and status in this matter.

The End.

Later life and death of Maulana Rumi

In the book of Masnavi book the great poetry book of Moulana Rumi ,
there are added many hundred stories about proverbs and tales of olden
times, stories of humor and laughter in it.In addition to other stories of
claims in the courts of judges and proofs of claim and decrees and moral
stories and their stories aspect as well as its final results and teaching
and also in this holy book, there are added an important and remarkable
attribute in the book is that the style of explanation of the teaching and
advices in which there are mentioned the importance of morals and
 162

phycology as well as many hundred issues of matter of Sufism and

spiritualism.
And he has mentioned in such style and description which will be
entered in the depth of the heart. But this task of translation of the
Persian stories in the Urdu book by me was not completed due to being
so much busy with my work and engagements in this matter. As well as
there was much pressure and request from friends and well-wishers in
this matter.
For a long period of time, there was thinking about translating all stories
of moral teaching into one Urdu book. So the student and general people
of our country are able to get the benefit of the favor of knowledge of
river of these moral stories were written by Moulana Rumi.
After that, there was not passed much time and during that time there
was a published book of Masnavi by Moulana Rumi by Qazi Talamaz
Hussain M.A. in new get up and he was given the title of the book
‘Marat Mathnavi’ and the pearls of advice which were found in the
original book here and there and for which he has compiled in the book
with togetherness in this matter. Upon this, as per this task there was
become easy and clear for Mirza Nizam Shah Labib to translate the
Persian book into Urdu version. He is a great scholar of Urdu language
and poet as well as a traveler of the world of Sufism and has attributes
of experience and a seasoned personality. He has done translations of
moral stories with much interest and fondness in the original language
of the Red Fort of Delhi. And at some place, he has added the taste of
proverb and sayings of Hyderabad Deccan which was his second
headquarter. And as per mentioning of the explanation of the words and
its meanings he has made translation’s color of Sufism were dark and
depth in this matter. So for this reason the translation book has become
hard and difficult for the general readers of the book in this matter and
he has done it because there will be damage to the aim of the text of the
Masnavi in the Persian language.
 163

And for this reason, there was no option remaining except to rewrite the
Urdu translation once again in this matter and following matters from
the books were delisted for the above reason.
1. Those stories and examples which are a purely religious type or
belongs to the faith of the Muslim community should have been deleted.
2. Some stories are rational and good in their place in this book but if
these stories are selected separately then there will be known nakedness
of the story matter known to the women and children so such stories
have been ignored in this matter.
3. Where there are arguments in deep and reasons and points lengthy
and have repeated and at this place, the short and simple way was
followed for the translation of the stores.
4. In short to keep the stories of the book in an interesting way and to
have a fondness for each and every reader and as well as in this matter
there was taken care and attention to moral instruction and the pious
teaching style of Moulana Rumi in this matter.

Preface

This is a book called "The Rumi Persian Story Book 18," which is a
very new book and will be published in 2023 in the English language.
This is a small book in which the stories from the book "The Persian
Stories of the Rumi" are added upon its translation from Urdu book, and
in this book there are some great achievements of this great sheikh of
mysticism that are not yet known to the general public. These are
 165

published in a very interesting style, so for this reason, the readers will
find great interest and attention in this matter.
In this book, story details from the Urdu book " Hikayat Rumi part one"
are added by me upon its translation into English. And this is a well-
known and famous book that was written by Moulana Rumi in Persian
language and Mirza Nizam Shah Labib was translated this Persian
classic book in the Urdu language . And I am presenting this book in

From the above facts and details, if the readers start reading this book’s

interesting events as well as other great miracles and endeavors of this
holy saint are added, and this holy saint passed away from the world
many centuries ago.
Even though this is a small book, due to its importance, it is so great due
to the coverage of many interesting events and positive information in it
that it is like an ocean of knowledge and information about the holy
saint who passed away from the world upon doing his great endeavours
and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation of Islam in
foreign lands. So this book is a small one, but it will present an ocean of
knowledge and information for the guidance of people towards the right
path of Islam.
Writing about these great Sufi saints is not only difficult but also
extremely difficult, because they were not only great pious personalities
of their time in Iran and India but also great Sufi masters throughout the
world who struggled hard for the preaching and propagation of Islamic
ways centuries ago.

1. The taking of donkey before tiger by deceiving of fox

One donkey of the washer man used to live alone in between mountains
and hilly areas and his back was injured, with an empty stomach and his
body frame were seen comprised of bones and in a helpless condition as
well as in a troublesome position. And he used to be there from morning
to evening time in a single condition.
And in that areas, there was not found except water. That donkey used
to live there from morning to evening time in the condition of worry and
trouble. And near those mountains and hilly areas there was jungle.

Where there was a tiger who used to say that “There was the fight of
him with elephant and he was injured and hurt as such that he has
become unfit for the hunting of the animals in the jungle and there was
no hunting of the tiger for a long time period and for this reason, small
animals were unable to get hunting animals by a tiger as there was no
share of food in the breakfast and dinner in this matter. As they have
food upon leaving the hunted animals by the tiger.
When the tiger has become ill then jungle small animals began dying for
this reason. So the tiger called Fox and told her to go and bring any
donkey as his share of hunting in the jungle.
If you find any donkey in the green land then bring that donkey up here
and up to me by engaging him in the conservation. Whether it may
donkey or cow for my hunting purpose and whatever your find bring by
search for me and net of your wisdom and tricks in this matter.

172
 173

When I get energy and power by eating the flesh of the donkey I will go
on hunting for any good animal. And I will eat some and the remaining
portion of it will be eaten by you. I will become the only cause of your
sustenance in this matter.

The fox told the tiger I will obey your order of the king of the jungle.I
will tell him about ups and down and he will come under my trick.h and
m is my work and talent.

In the short fox get down from the mountain and went toward the river.
And she was seen as such a thin and weak donkey there. and she said
salam to him with much respect and honor. And she came before simple
fakir. She told him Hazrat why you are living in the desolate place
where are find stones.
The donkey told her that “Whether grief and difficulties are there due to
my fate. And I am content upon this for allot my share of fate in this
matter. And who was the creator of all general and special persons? All
creators are thankful to Allah for graces from his side. The mouse and
all insects and animals find sustenance from the grace of Allah. The
birds and fishes get sustenance in this matter. And ants and snakes will
also be given food supplies from the side of Allah.

The fox told him to find legal sustenance as per the order of Allah. in
this world of reason and there is no get to sustenance without endeavor
and work. So there are required endeavors in this matter. “Oh wise
person tell me if you go and sit in the well then how will you get your
sustenance? There is the weakness of our trust otherwise who will give
us life and will be given substance to us. One who will search for
173
 174

success and kingdom and he will also find his sustenance very much.
Even birds and animals will get their sustenance in the jungle. And they
will not earn and or carry their sustenance. To all, there will be given
sustenance by the side of Allah. whatever there will be written in their
fates which will be put before the persons. So your endeavors and
thinking are due to your carelessness in this matter.

The fox told him such trust is very rare and difficult and in the issue of
trust many people make mistakes. And to follow such an extraordinary
rule is a very mistake in this matter.
Every person did not have the ability to become king. Even though the
prophet told content as treasure. But that hidden treasure will not be
found by all persons. “Oh, donkey know your limit and rules of manners
and respect. And do not fly high. Whether you may not fall into the pit
of difficulties. When you did not get upon your patience then do
endeavours and earn and search for your sustenance.”
The donkey told Fox that you are telling matters in the wrong way. And
due to greed there will be getting difficulty for the soul. And not from
content, nobody died or by greed nobody become king.
In the system of nature, there is the provision of substance to the pigs
and dogs, and for the rain and cloud, there is no cause for human
endeavors and in the way, you are a lover of sustenance and worried in
this matter. And in the same way, a substance also is like and lover of
the person who ate it. If you do not make haste other wise substance will
come to your door. If do not your patience then you will face headaches
for this reason.
The fox told him to leave all lengthy matters of conversation and start
endeavors. And that endeavor will be without selfishness. A person who
will enter into any occupation and work, in other words, will help the
person of that occupation in this matter. Because all occasions of
174
 175

civilization and society will not be done by a single person and how will
it be possible that one person will be engaged in the occupation of
carpenter, water -carrier, and weaver. And civilization’s work factory
depends upon mutual cooperation so for this reason each and every one
should engage in each and different occupation. And there is no proof of
eating free bread. As per the method of the prophet’s Sunnah, each and
everybody should adopt different types of work and occupations.
The donkey told that “I like the occupation of trust of Allah and in both
worlds, I like it very much in this matter. And this matter is out of my
knowledge that if any person thanks Allah for his sustenance then there
will be not taken away his sustenance in this matter.
In short, there was question and answer in both of them and for this
reason, they were tired very much.

The fox told that there is the order of Allah that do not put your life in
the killing. It is absurd to live in the hilly areas and mountains, and have
patience in the dry jungle. As a matter of fact, the world of Allah is very
large in length and width. And from here you shift to green land area.
Where you can graze grand grass as the bank of the river. Such green
lands are like heavenly resorts. And where you will find grass length up
to the level of the waist. And the animals will be lucky who will go
there and live and that place is as such even camel will be hidden, and
around that verdure there are many water springs are found. In that area,
each and every animal is secure and happy living.
The donkey due to his absurd nature did not ask with fox oh cursed one
why you are living in that place but why you are weak?
And there is no sign of fatness and happiness and a healthy sign. Why
your body is weak and in a condition of worry? If the report verdure is
not false and fraudulent so why is there found in your eyes pleading of
175
 176

intoxication? The eyes show begging condition and supplicant is due to

your indecent talk. And not due to wealthy conditions. When you are
coming from a spring of water so why you are in dry condition? If you
are coming from heaven then why do you have not a boutique of
flowers from there as a gift to me? What you are saying and giving such
details and its good effect is not seen in you in this matter.
In short as the donkey was among the follower so he came under the
influence of the fox. And in his intelligence and wisdom, there was no
personal power.
So Fox made him donkey silent by her fraud and deception. And for the
greed of eating all of her reasons and arguments made her down and all
her endeavours have become a failure. Now fox put her step in the field
of trick and by catching the beard of the donkey fox reached the
presence of the tiger. And still, that donkey was far from the tiger. And
who is unable to move here and there? And who could not wait for the
coming of the donkey before him? And he jumped from height. As a
matter of fact, he did not have such power and energy with him even to
move from his place. Upon seeing such a scene the donkey fled very
fast and by reaching in his place of hills he was taken to rest.
The fox told oh King you have left patience at the main time. You have
not waited as such that unwise donkey may reach in your limit to have
your control upon him. So that you can overcome immediately upon
him in this matter. The fastness and retreat are deeds and acts of Satan.
And patience and persistence are blessings from Allah. As he was away
and by seeing your attack the donkey run away from you. And nobody
lost in this matter but it was shown your weakness. And you have lost
your position and respect.
The tiger told her that I think that still there is power within me but I
was unaware of my weakness and blindness. There is also much matter
of hunger and hunting with me. And for this reason, wisdom and
intelligence were failures against hunger. If possible bring a donkey to
176
 177

me by way of wisdom. If you do this then there will be among many of

your favor upon me. So try again in this matter and I hope that you can
bring donkey by trick here.
If Allah will provide hunting of the donkey then I will provide many of
my hunting animal’s shares to you. The fox said if Allah will help me
and put the seal on darkness upon him then due to the foolishness of the
donkey it is possible that he can forget the fright at this place. But I will
bring him near to you then do not make hurry in this matter. So that
your hurry may remind him of the previous event. The tiger told him
yes. I have experience with me that I am ill now and all my joints of the
body are loose for this reason. Now I will do that till the donkey came
near me I will not even shake my ears also. I will be laying there in the
condition of silence and motionless.
On the other side, the fox went toward the donkey. And she has prayed
with Allah to help her and put a veil of the careless upon the wisdom of
the donkey. And at the other side, the donkey repents in the court of
Allah that he will not fall into the trap of any bad person in the future.
But in this matter fate is saying something other.
By running very fast the fox went to see the donkey at his place in the
mountain and hilly area. the donkey to the fox may Allah keep away
safe from such a friend like you.Oh unfaithful what I have made wrong
to you that you have taken me in the presence of the tiger.oh bad
innermost personality what is the reason for mean-ness in this matter?
This is the tactic of a scorpion who will bite without any reason on the
foot. This is an action of Satan. And we do not say anything but she has
become our enemy unnecessarily in this matter.
The fox told the donkey “Master donkey the seeing of tiger is a trick of
the magic that you have seen before your eyes one tiger. Otherwise, you
can know that in body position I am smaller than your body. And day
and night I live in the presence of the tiger. The world is full of
elephants and rhinos who are hungry and ate very much. And if there is
177
 178

no magic trick then how much green land areas will be safe and secure
in this matter. I want to tell you that if you see any danger shape then
you should not be afraid in this matter. but I was engaged in the matter
of your love and intimacy of the conversation that I could not tell you. I
have seen that you were worried and suffering due to hunger so I was
taking you by in a running way. so that there will be a cure for hunger in
this matter. otherwise, I would have told you about the secret of this
place that the shape you will be by magic not in reality in the animal
body. I forgot to tell you about the dangerous but beautiful shape. The
donkey told her that “Keep away from my face and may Allah may not
show your face again.” The God who made you unlucky and also made
your bad face ugly and as well as hard. Now you came here with your
ugly face with me. You are the open enemy of my life and blood. Now I
have seen the face of the angel of death. You have come here to make
false and deceive as right matter. I am a donkey but the lowest among
all of the donkeys. whatever may be but I am an animal and have soul in
my body.
I will not come under any of trape in this matter. the horror upon my
heart which I have seen there and if the boy will see then he will
become older at that place and at the same time. And that dangerous
scene has many effects on my heart. I have to fall from the top of the
mountain to the soil. At the last, I have reminded Allah who used to
favor us. And I have made a promise to myself not to go here and there.
And from today onwards will not come to deceive or fraud you.
Whether God has helped me upon my loud cry and prayers and helped
me in this matter and I was able to run away from there otherwise that
male tiger would have made my hunting and killing there at once. Oh
bad bellow the tiger have sent you here again as per his fraud and
deceive for trapping me in this matter.”
The fox told that “In our filter water there is no filth. There is no cure
for doubt and suspension. Oh, unwise fellow this is all your doubt and
suspense in this matter. I do not have a fault with me and do not have
178
 179

any feeling of fraud with me. And do not see with bad looking glasses
of you to me. There is no good to have a misconception with friends.
Upon true and right brothers there should have good thinking. If there
will be caused to you any difficulty and problem. Where there will be
find misconception and bad thinking and which is not good so then
there will be find enmity.
If any kind person will take your hard examination or test then the wise
person should not think badly in this matter. I do not belong to bad
nature and bad character. So you are becoming about misconception.
And whatever you have seen it was a trick of magic work. The donkey
tried his best to leave her but he was suffering and hungry very much.
At last, there was an overwhelming greed over patience. And for the
sake of greed, there were cut many necks of the persons. So it is better
to think of yourself as dead so that your soul will be safe from the
difficulty of hunger. If such is life then it is good to die in this matter.
Even though the donkey was repented and was promised but due to his
unwise nature he was involved in the problem and trap of the fox.
There will be grip on the greedy man while making him blind and
unwise and unintelligent. The death will come to the donkeys in the
easy way.Becuase in his soul he does not have perpetual life with him.
At last by the way of seduce the fox was taken the donkey along with
her in the presence of the tiger in the jungle second time. And the tiger
was done killing and tearing the donkey and levelled it on the earth.the
king of animals was become thirsty and want to drink water and he went
to spring water for drinking water from there.upon getting the good
chance the fox was able to eat heart and liver of the donkey at the same
time. When the tiger came back from the spring and he could not find
heart and liver of the donkey so he asked where they have gone as no
animal found without these two organs in their bodies.

179
 180

The fox told ok king of the jungle if he would his heart and live with
him then how he would come here again.he was seen difficulty like day
of judgement, difficulty, and he was fallen from the mountain, and he
was faced the difficulty of fear and terror so if he would have with him
his heart and liver with him then he would not have returned back in
your presence again in this matter.
Moral of this education story is as follows.
Explanation :Dear friends if there is no light in the heart then there is
no heart and if in which there is no soul then that thing is like soil.

2. The greed upon seeing the accessories of the donkey of the water
carrier

One day my father has given advice to me in this matter that there was
one donkey with a water carrier. And by carrying the load his waist was
badly damaged affection. On his back, there were found ten wounds.
And for this reason, he used to desire his death always. And which he
did not find. And he did not even get dry grass to full of desire of his
stomach. And instead of it he will get strikes of nails on his body.
Saltury has seen he has paid him much kindness as he was a friend of
the owner of the donkey. He said salam to the water carrier and told him
“My dear brother your donkey has been much older like an old woman.
The water carrier told him due to his poverty he did not get proper food
and he did not complain about his mouth in this matter. His friend told
him to hand over his donkey so that by putting him in the royal stable
and there he will eat food and will become fat and healthy. The water
carrier was given his donkey to his friend in this matter.
In the king’s stable the donkey has seen Arabian horses everywhere
found fat and in different colors. The stalls of stable land are found very
clean and water was spread at each and every place. In the stable, there
will be given grass and barley to all animals on time. There was seen
180
 181

curry-comb a tool to rub down horses. Upon seeing this donkey has
raised his mouth towards the sky and he has lodged his complaint in the
court of Allah and he said “Oh Allah whether he is not your creation. I
know that I am a donkey and due to some reason his back is wounded
and I am suffering. And is becoming thin in this matter and these horses
are living in the royal pomp and show and facing royal luxury and
comfort. And what I have done in this matter. So he is passing such
difficulty and worries.
Then suddenly at that time there was heard loud cry due to hearing of
the war alarm and then there began putting of saddle on horsebacks.
And there came the time of going to the battlefield. In the battle field
those horses were injured by the arrows of the enemy soldiers. And all
their bodies were wounded by arrows of the soldiers of the enemy.
Those horses came back to the stable and slept immediately in their
stalls. And their foot was tight with the help of ropes and they stood in
line as per their shoes. And bodies were operated on and were taken
away heads of the arrows. So that there will be cleaning of wounds.
When the donkey has seen the all the situation he was began shivering
in this matter. And so he was thanked Allah and he said “He is happy in
his condition of poverty and safety and security. And due to such
accessories, there came such wounds so I kept away from them in this
matter.”

3. The entering of one person into another person’s

due to fear of catching the donkeys

The entering of one person into another person’s house due to fear of
catching the donkeys and his face was yellow and his lips were green
color in this matter. And there were signs of fear on his face. The house
owner asked him “Why his hands were shaking like handsticks. What is
in this matter and why you came to my house by running? And why
181
 182

there is coming one color on your face and another going away? What is
its reason?.” He told him that “The cruel king in force labour with or
without stipend is catching the donkeys”. He told him “Oh brother King
is caught the donkeys. When you are not a donkey why there is fear
with you.” He told him “The royal policemen are doing severity in this
matter. And catching the donkey by hard search. There is no surprise
that they will make me a donkey also. They went to catching of the
donkey but their hardness very much in this matter.
Moral Explantion : And there is no left distinction with them in this
matter. And there is rule power in the hands of no ability of discerning
and unwise people. So that they can be caught the owner of the donkey
instead of the donkey for this reason.
4.The search for man by one bishop by taking a lamp

One person taking one lamp in his hands was searching for a man in the
bazaars. And he was making rounds there. One person asked him oh
man to whom you are searching.? And you are searching by taking a
lamp in the daylight and searching and wandering here and there.
Whether this is any kind of joke in this matter. He told he is searching
for a man but he is not found anywhere. Upon hearing his conversation
that person told him “ Oh gentleman in the bazaar there are so many
people that so there is shoulder be rubbed due to overcrowding.
He told he is searching for “That person one who has control over the
situation of his anger and greed and his bravery will remain always in
the world after him. Where he is in the world so that I can sacrifice my
soul upon such person.”

That person told him that “ You are searching less valuable person in
the world. But you are careless of God. And you are looker of the
182
 183

branch only. And you did not have any news of the original. As we are
like branches and originally and we are the order of divan decree. When
you see the running of the wheels of the water mill then at that time see
water beneath of it in the river. You have seen dust spreading only and
so see the air in it.
Explanation of the Moral story:You are seeing thoughts of a cauldron in
the condition of passion and boil. So have thought with wisdom and
intelligence about the fire.

The End.

2.The taunt of one Darwesh upon seeing the dress of slaves……17

In the city of Heerat, one darwesh, who was arrogant, saw the dress of
the slaves of the ruler in satin dresses and golden belts hanging from the
waists. He saw then at the side of the sky, and raising his head, he said,
"Oh Allah, why do you not learn the favours which he has done by the
rulers of Heerat to his salves? Oh Allah, you learn how to bring up the
slaves like the ruler of Heerat in this matter, and who is the ruler of our
city, Heerat?
That man of arrogance was in a condition of helplessness and in a naked
position, as well as lacking in means. And he was shivering in the nights
of winter. That person in intoxication has had fun because he has belief
in many thousand favours of Allah and because the people of
knowledge and reality who will be around him.
If any close person of the king is involved in an affair, then you do not
follow it because you are not a close person of the king.
Now hear that the governor of the country framed charges against the
ruler of Heerat city and sent him to jail by tying his hands and feet. The
king was given the order to arrest the good-uniform slaves of the rulers
by tying them in chains, and he has asked them to say about secrets of
the rulers; otherwise, he will give the order to remove their tongues

186
 187

from their mouths in this matter. And he will also cut pieces of the
bodies, but the slaves did keep the secrets of the ruler in this matter.
Then one angel told the arrogant person in his dream that "you have
taught Allah about mastery, but look at slavery and learn how to become
a slave in this matter."

Later life and death of Maulana Rumi

In the book of Masnavi book the great poetry book of Moulana Rumi ,
there are added many hundred stories about proverbs and tales of olden
times, stories of humor and laughter in it.In addition to other stories of
claims in the courts of judges and proofs of claim and decrees and moral
stories and their stories aspect as well as its final results and teaching
and also in this holy book, there are added an important and remarkable
attribute in the book is that the style of explanation of the teaching and
advices in which there are mentioned the importance of morals and
phycology as well as many hundred issues of matter of Sufism and
spiritualism.
And he has mentioned in such style and description which will be
entered in the depth of the heart. But this task of translation of the
Persian stories in the Urdu book by me was not completed due to being
188
 189

so much busy with my work and engagements in this matter. As well as

there was much pressure and request from friends and well-wishers in
this matter.
For a long period of time, there was thinking about translating all stories
of moral teaching into one Urdu book. So the student and general people
of our country are able to get the benefit of the favor of knowledge of
river of these moral stories were written by Moulana Rumi.
After that, there was not passed much time and during that time there
was a published book of Masnavi by Moulana Rumi by Qazi Talamaz
Hussain M.A. in new get up and he was given the title of the book
‘Marat Mathnavi’ and the pearls of advice which were found in the
original book here and there and for which he has compiled in the book
with togetherness in this matter. Upon this, as per this task there was
become easy and clear for Mirza Nizam Shah Labib to translate the
Persian book into Urdu version. He is a great scholar of Urdu language
and poet as well as a traveler of the world of Sufism and has attributes
of experience and a seasoned personality. He has done translations of
moral stories with much interest and fondness in the original language
of the Red Fort of Delhi. And at some place, he has added the taste of
proverb and sayings of Hyderabad Deccan which was his second
headquarter. And as per mentioning of the explanation of the words and
its meanings he has made translation’s color of Sufism were dark and
depth in this matter. So for this reason the translation book has become
hard and difficult for the general readers of the book in this matter and
he has done it because there will be damage to the aim of the text of the
Masnavi in the Persian language.
And for this reason, there was no option remaining except to rewrite the
Urdu translation once again in this matter and following matters from
the books were delisted for the above reason.
1. Those stories and examples which are a purely religious type or
belongs to the faith of the Muslim community should have been deleted.

189
 190

2. Some stories are rational and good in their place in this book but if
these stories are selected separately then there will be known nakedness
of the story matter known to the women and children so such stories
have been ignored in this matter.
3. Where there are arguments in deep and reasons and points lengthy
and have repeated and at this place, the short and simple way was
followed for the translation of the stores.
4. In short to keep the stories of the book in an interesting way and to
have a fondness for each and every reader and as well as in this matter
there was taken care and attention to moral instruction and the pious
teaching style of Moulana Rumi in this matter.

saint who passed away from the world upon doing his great endeavours
and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation of Islam in
foreign lands. So this book is a small one, but it will present an ocean of
knowledge and information for the guidance of people towards the right
path of Islam.
Writing about these great Sufi saints is not only difficult but also
extremely difficult, because they were not only great pious personalities
of their time in Iran and India but also great Sufi masters throughout the
world who struggled hard for the preaching and propagation of Islamic
ways centuries ago.
Rumi story books in Persian are well-known and famous books written
by Shaik Rumi. It is the enlightenment and wisdom of the treasure. This
book also revealed secrets and hinted at Sufism. And in this case, Shaik
Rumi was taken with the help of the stories.

Mirza Nizam Shah Saheb Labib has done his best translation from
Persian book in the Urdu book and has given its title ‘Hikayat Rumi’

1. The thief and the police commissioner

One thief told the police commissioner that "Whatever he has done was
as per the order and will of God." The police commissioner told him
that "whatever he says is the order of reality. If there is theft from a shop
by a thief, then it will be theft by order of God. When there are two or
three punches on the head of the thief, it will also be deemed as per the
order of Allah in this matter. To understand this matter.

The exemplary story

One person went up on the tree and began illegally removing the tree's
fruits. The owner came there, and he said, "Oh shameful person, what
are you doing?" He told him that "From the garden of God and the
person of God are eating the dates. Which was provided by God himself
in this matter. Who are you to scold me for this work.?You are doing
wickedness in the not-ending wealth given by God, Who is carefree in
this matter."
The owner told his servant to bring rope so that I could reply to this
pious person in this matter. When there was rope, the owner tied the
thief to the tree trunk and began beating him on his backside and lower
body parts. The thief began crying, and he said," Oh, shameful person,
have fear of God. You are killing me."
The owner said, "As per the order of God, this slave of God is beating
on the back of another slave of God. This wooden cane belongs to God.
And he is the slave of God, obeying the order of God in this matter."

199
 200

At last, the thief said, "I have repented of injustice, and no doubt there is
a man's right in this matter."

2. Taunt of one Darwesh upon seeing the dress of slaves

In the city of Herat, one darwesh, who was arrogant, saw the dress of
the slaves of the ruler in satin dresses with golden belts hanging from
the waists. He saw then at the side of the sky, and raising his head, he
said, "Oh Allah, why do you not learn the favours which he has done by
the rulers of Herat to his salves? Oh Allah, you learn how to bring up
the slaves like the ruler of Herat in this matter, and who is the ruler of
our city,Herat ?
That man of arrogance was in a condition of helplessness and in a naked
position, as well as lacking in means. And he was shivering in the nights
of winter. That person in intoxication has had fun because he has belief
in many thousand favours of Allah and because of the people of
knowledge and reality who will be around him.
If any close person of the king is involved in an affair, then you do not
follow it because you are not a close person of the king.
Now hear that the governor of the country framed charges against the
ruler of Herat city and sent him to jail by tying his hands and feet. The
king was given the order to arrest the good-uniform slaves of the rulers
by tying them in chains, and he asked them to say something about the
secrets of the rulers; otherwise, he would give the order to remove their
tongues from their mouths in this matter. And he will also cut pieces of
the bodies, but the slaves did keep the secrets of the ruler in this matter.

200
 201

Then one angel told the arrogant person in his dream, "You have taught
Allah about mastery, but look at slavery and learn how to become a
slave in this matter."
3. During the period of Ba-Yazid, one person preached Islam to the
fire worshipper.

During the time of Ba Yazid, there was one respectable person who was
a follower of fire worship. One pious person told him that "if you accept
Islamic religion, then it will be a good thing that you will be free from
fire burning, and it may be possible that you will become chief of the
Muslims.
He told him that "if there is faith in Ba Yazid, then he has no power or
strength with him. And which is beyond the control of the soul. Even
though I am not Muslim, I accept the faith of Ba Yazid. I have faith that
among the mankind of Adam, he is most excellent and great. And he is
pure and brave, as well as having a grand personality. In my heart, I
have devotion to his faith in the Islamic religion. Even though there is a
seal on my mouth in this matter. But you are preaching for me the faith
that you have with you. And for such a faith as Islam, I do not have any
attraction, desire, a orwish in this matter.f anybody has devotion with
you about Islam, upon seeing you, it will have vanished away in this
matter. Because in you there is the name of the Islamic faith. And that
person will not find the address of the originality.

4. A bad-sounding prayer caller’s call in the infidel's place

201
 202

Listen to this story and leave its story of manifesting and thinking
its result in this matter.
There was one prayer caller who used to cry with his voice every night.
Until such time that there will be headaches for the persons in this
matter,
On one side, kids will jump when they hear his bad call on the bed sets.
And on the other side, men's and women’s lives were in much trouble
and difficulty. To keep away from the difficulty of the bad sound of the
prayer caller, they began a collection of donation money in this matter.
To hand over the same collection amount, they called the prayer caller,
who is given the name Mozin, and they told him that we have greatly
benefited from your sound in this matter. and now sufficient your
service of day and night to us, and now close your tongue and in the lie
of it, have this donation amount and take it.
One caravan was going to Makkah for a hajj pilgrimage, and this prayer
caller, with his money back, joined the pilgrimage group and began his
journey. And one night, by chance, the caravan stayed in the village of
infidels for one night. The prayer caller, who loved his sound very
much, made a prayer call, but some people have prohibited him from
doing this because there may be problems and difficulties with local
tribes in this matter. but due to his insistence, he made their prayer call
at the place of infidels, and people were afraid that there might be any
problems or any difficulty.
At that time, one infidel came there holding a lamp in one hand and a
plate of sweets. He brought a nice pair of shoes and entered the caravan
in a friendly manner.
He began asking each and every person where the prayer caller was.
And from his sound, I reached for his comfort. He told them that his
single daughter is nice and very beautiful, and she has a desire to accept
Islamic religion. She was not leaving this matter out of her mind. So
202
 203

many infidels have given her advice, but she has not accepted it. but
there was a wave of faith in Islam in her heart. Due to my fear of her
conversion idea, I was very worried and in trouble. By counselling her, I
was tired of this matter. As such, today this prayer caller was given a
prayer call, so the girl asked what this absurd sound was. And which is
coming from all sides to her ears. She did not hear such an absurd call
from any idol worship place or fireplace of worship, and her sister told
her this was a prayer call from the mosque of the Muslims. This is a call
for Muslims to come to the mosque for prayer. But she did not believe,
so she asked about this matter with any other person, who confirmed the
matter. when she was able to confirm that the colour of her face had
become pale. And then she was upset with the Islamic religion.
I was now saved and secured for the conversion idea of my daughter.
And for its sake and my gratitude, I have brought this gift. Where is that
prayer caller? And when he had seen him, I told him to take my gift
from my side. You are my friend and benefactor, and you have done
such favours to me that forever in my life I have become your slave in
this matter.
If I have wealth and a kingdom, then I will give you a lot of golden
coins in this matter.

5. The eating of meat by one woman and blaming the cat

One person’s wife was tricky and a thief by nature. Whatever her
husband will bring food provisions from the bazaar, she used to eat
altogether in this matter. The husband could not do anything or take any
action except keep silent.
203
 204

That person eventually brought mutton for the guest after much effort
and trial. The woman, by making kabs, has eaten all the mutton by
herself. When her husband came and a guest came to the house, the
husband asked his wife where the mutton was. The guests had come and
prepared minced meat and mutton curry, which was served to the
guests.
The woman told me that the mutton had been eaten by the cat in the
house. If you need mutton food items, purchase and bring mutton to the
house again in this matter.
The husband told the servant to bring a weighing scale to check the
weight of the cat. When he checked the weight of the cat, it was around
four kilogrammes.
At that time, the husband called and told his wife, "Oh deceiver and liar,
the mutton was more than four kilogrammes. If the weight of the cat is
only four kilogrammes, then where has gone the mutton? And if this is
the cat’s weight, then where has gone the mutton?"

6. Zia Balqi's one joke

Zia Balaqi was a holy person of the revelation. And his brothers’s
names were Taj Islam. A large number of students are always present in
his presence to gain knowledge. The taj was the shaik of the capital city,
and his height was very short. Taj was an expert in his knowledge, and
his skill was well known. And Zia was well known for his humour. and
there was no such personality at that time. And yet, in the nature of the
204
 205

shaik of Islam, there was humility, and he used to be shameful to his

brother Zia Balqi. Zai was also famous for his teaching and advice.
In the court of the shaik of Islam, there were present famous qazis,
muftis, and learned persons, and at that time Zia came over there.
Shaikh of Islam, well come Zia Balaqi half-heartedness. When Zia has
seen treatment and his pride. And due to his insult in the full court, he is
ashamed in this matter. So he has told her that "your height was higher.
For the sake of blessing, the tailor has taken your head with him. And
for this reason, you are ashamed to stand at your full height.

7. The giving of defeat in a chess game to the ruler of Tarmiz by

one Joker

There was a game of chess between the ruler of Tarmiz and one joker in
the palace, and when there was a defeat for the ruler, he became angry
and upset in this matter. Upon saying defeat and defeat, he began
striking with each and every chessman on the head of the joker. And he
said, Oh, the person of un-humility, this is defeat. So the Joker showed
patience at that time and regret in this matter.
And after this, the ruler gave him the order to play one more game with
him there. The Joker, due to fear, was shivering like a naked person in
the winter season due to the cold. And the second time, too, the ruler
was defeated by the Joker. And then the time to say defeat came, so the
joker left his place and went to the corner to be safe from the strike of
the chessman, and he covered his body with bed covers and blankets.
The king said, "Oh person, what are you doing?" Then the joker told
him, Oh, ruler, now I will give defeat to you in this matter in this way.
And by hiding in the blanket, I can say true things to angry people like
205
 206

you. Oh, the king, I have given you defeat again, and by keeping away
from your strike, I can say defeat to you in this matter."

8. The becoming unconscious of one Sufi upon seeing him with a

look of anger

One Sufi went to the battle field along with the army of the sultan. And
where he heard attacks of the enemy and fighting of army units, both
warranting factors, So for this reason, Sufi remained in the tent, holding
his bag. And soldiers went to the battle field, but Sufi remained in the
military tent, as did fat people who remained in the tents. Those who
were interested went forward to participate in the battle. And then after
that, at the end of the war, soldiers came back with victories as well as
much booty from the battle field. They have given one gift to the Sufi,
but he has thrown it on the earth. And he did not take anything from
them. The people have asked him, Oh Hazrat, what is the reason for his
anger? He said he was not participating in the battle and would not fight
with any soldier personally on the battlefield. The people told us, We
have brought one prisoner of war, and you kill him, and if you cut off
his head from his body, then you will also become Ghazi. And from
this, Sufi became happy, and his heart became strong. Even though there
are 100 kinds of cleanliness of water, if there is not water availability,
then there is allowed dry ablution.
In short, the Sufi was taken prisoner of war at the back side of his tent,
and the prisoner’s hands were tied. So that he could fight with him
there. There was a lot of delay, and the Sufi did not come back from
there, so for this reason, the soldier went to the back of the tent of the
Sufi, as it was easy work to kill a prisoner of war whose hands were
tied. And there they have seen that on Sufi the prisoner of war was
sitting, Sufi was unconscious, and the enemy’s hands were tight, but
206
 207

upon getting control, he was biting the neck of Sufi by his teeth like a
cat, and he was injured without weapons. And his bread was full of the
blood of the Sufi. Upon seeing this, they took a sword and cut the
enemy into many pieces. There was thrown water and rose water upon
the Sufi, and upon becoming normal, the Sufi was seen around him by a
large group of people. They have asked him, Oh, holy person, it is very
sad. Tell me what has happened to you in this matter. And it is
surprising that you can kill the tied-hands person. And you were
unconscious. The Sufi told me that "when he went near to cut off his
head, he looked at me with such a strange look that I was afraid. First he
looked at me, gazing at me, and then he looked at me by moving his
eyes with a hard look, so that I was surprised in this matter. With the
movement of his eyes, I saw a large number of soldiers moving before
me. And the military was very dangerous. In short, by looking at such a
dangerous eye movement, I was in a state of severe fear, became
unconscious, and fell to the earth for this reason.”

9. The taking of a slave girl by the caliph of Egypt

One secret agent informed the caliph of Egypt that the ruler of Mosul
and The city, considered the second largest city in Iraq, have one
slave girl, and her beauty is not found anywhere else in the world.
And her description of beauty is not possible in words. In this essay,
we find her description of beauty to some extent only. When the
caliph found a picture of a slave girl and her beauty in the
description of the writing, he became unconscionable in this matter.
At the same time, he has sent a large army unit under the command of
one wrestler towards Iraq and given him the order that if he does not
207
 208

hand over the beautiful slave girl, he can shatter the country into pieces.
And if they deliver, then leave the country. And bring the beautiful girl
to his place. That wrestler, with much pride and show, led a large army
towards Mosul with many thousand chariots, trumpets, and flags like the
Teddy Insect Group, which will destroy the crop fields in the same way
the army is ready to destroy the city of Mosul. And at one side they
began throwing arrows, and from another side they began sending
stones in an attack on Mosil City by Manjaniq (a warlike engine for
slinging stones and missile weapons). And on the other hand, the army
proceeded with sword groups like thunder balls and electricity. For one
week, there was a bloody conflict.
When the ruler of Mosul saw the bad condition of the battle from inside
the city, he sent one ambassador, asking what the reason was for the
killing of a large number of Muslims in the city. If it is your intention to
capture the country of Mosul and its capital, which can be possible
through negotiation and conversation in this matter by avoiding the
battle and killing of the men, I will leave Mosil City one way, and you
will enter the city another way. So that the blood shed by innocent
people will not cry for justice from your side. And if you want wealth,
pearls, gold, and silver, then it is easy; this is much better than handing
over the country to you. I can send you gold and silver as per your
request.
When the ambassador reached the battle field and was given the ruler's
message, he told him that he did not need gold or silver and that he
needed the befitting lady of your place. He gave him her picture and
asked him to hand it over so that there would be a halt to the battle. And
do not delay in this matter; otherwise, he will not be responsible for
killing and destroying your country in this matter. You know my anger
and cruelty well.
The ambassador has told all the details to the ruler and given an essay
with details and a picture of the most beautiful slave girl.
208
 209

You can see the bravery of the ruler in the fact that he told the people
during his life that he did not like idol worship, so it is good that this
beautiful model should not be kept with him now. And with much
wealth and jewellery, he handed over the slave girl at the royal army
centre.
Now hear that when a wrestler has seen a beautiful lady and queen of
beauty, for this reason he has become a victim of love in this matter.
And he was passing the way from Musil and camped on the edge of the
mountain. And there was a fire of love there with him, and for this
reason, he could not differentiate between earth and sky. And he was
entered into the tent of the slave girl, and in such a condition, there was
no control over his wisdom or fear of the caliph.
When there is a spark of desire and wishes, then wisdom will burn like
thorns in the jungle. At that time, before the fire of desire of the
wrestler, if there are 100 caliphs before him, then there will be less than
a bee in this matter.
But at the time, extreme passion and emotion and were heard loud and
cry in the army camp, and at that time, the wrestler went into the camp
holding the naked sword in his hands to check the problem in this
matter. And he has seen one black tiger attack from the jungle side on
the royal army camp in the darkness of the night. The Arabic horses
were wandering here and there like a spell of magic in the darkness of
the night. And all the stables of horses and tents were falling to the
ground in this matter. The tiger, with much force, was moving like the
waves of the river and flying in the air with much strength.
But that wrestler who was most powerful and brave went before the
tiger like a tiger to fight with him in this matter and strike upon the tiger
with such power by his shining sword that the tiger was cut in two
pieces and fell to the ground. And he came back into the tent with the
slave girl soon.
209
 210

Upon fighting with the dangerous tiger, his passion and emotion did not
diminish, and upon seeing the bravery of the wrestler, the beautiful
slave girl was surprised and liked him very much in this matter.
For some days, the wave of love affairs had been in progress. And then
wrestler was regret for his grave crime in this matter and he has asked
the girl of the moon face of the 14th night not to disclosed the matter to
king and he has taken the promise from her in this matter. After such a
promise, he took the slave girl in the presence of the king of the country.
When the king saw a beautiful slave girl, he became out of control. The
king who has heard about the attributes of the slave girl and which were
found before him and which were much more upon the lady of
prettiness So saying will not be the same with a look and an inspection.
So he was given the order to admit her to the royal palace. When he
was entering the room of the lovely, queen-like girl to meet here, he was
heard cutting the paper in the royal room by the mouse there. He
thought that the snake was moving in the room, and when the slave girl
saw this event, there was a decrease in the passion and emotion of the
king, so she began laughing in the room for this reason. And she
continued to laugh for a long time. And she tried to stop it, but it was
not possible for her. And she was laughing like a dancer. And her
laughter was not caring about loss or gain in this matter, and to whatever
extent she will remember about the event of the wrestler, she will laugh
in this matter, and her laugh was like the opening point of the river.
In any case, her laugh did not stop, so for this reason, the king took the
sword from its cover in his hand to kill her. And he asked her to explain
absurd laughter, and for this there was misunderstanding in his heart.
And he told her that he would not listen to her incorrect matter and that
if you deceived me with the incorrect explanation, you could not
deceive me with an excuse. And to know in this matter that I can get
real facts. There will be a large moon in the hearts of the kings. And
some time it will be covered by the shadows of the clouds, and that
210
 211

royal wisdom is with me now in this matter. If you will not say the truth,
then I will cut your neck with my sword, and now there will be no
excuse or your decision will help you. If you say it's true, then I will
release it soon. As a promise is the right of God, he will not break it.
And make you happy, please. In her helpless condition, the slave girl
told the king the story of the wrestler who, on the way, came into her
tent and attacked the tiger in the jungle on the army camp, killing the
tiger and then coming into her tent and meeting with her for his passion
and emotion in the night. After spending his strength on killing the tiger,
there was no decrease in his strength in this matter, and its level was the
same and equal. In you, there is such laziness and dullness that you are
afraid of the movement of the mouse in the closed room. As I have seen
your event and his event, so there was a sudden laugh to me in this
matter, and God will disclose the secrets in this matter. If you will sow
the seed of bad things that come before you,
Upon hearing this, there was much to learn for the king. And he said in
his heart that whatever he had done to others, for this, such a result had
happened to him. With power and strength, I have taken another
person’s wife, and for this, I have faced such a situation in this matter.
When I knocked on the door of the other person, my house door was
knocked on by some other person. If one has the intention to disrespect
the honour of another person, then the other person will do the same
deed with him in this matter.
When I took the slave girl of Mousil, some other person also took the
girl. Even though he was a guard and faithful person, my breach of
indemnity made him a thief in this matter. This is not the time to take
revenge or retaliate. Because I have done an absurd thing in this matter.
If I take revenge, then the slave girl will die. And this cruel and unfair
thing will be on my head. The cruelty that was done to other person by
me and the same cruelty that was done to me in this matter. I have seen
one trail, so I will not try another time. He said, Oh, slave girl, there is
no need to say anything in this matter. And whatever you have done, do
211
 212

not disclose this matter to others. I will hand you over to that wrestler in
this matter. Be alert in this matter and do not disclose this event to
others so that the wrestler will regret his misdeed. If he has done one
bad act, in him are many thousand good deeds are with him.I have
checked on him many times and put under his custody more beautiful
girls than you. And till today, I found him a person of good trust, and
this is punishment for my bad deed."
Then he called the wrestler in his presence and told him that by keeping
feelings of revenge and not showing his reason, I have hate for this slave
girl.
And her good look and beauty created enmity with the queen the
mother of the crown prince so she is making her loud and cry day and
night. And she has become very sad. So when there is a question of
handing over the slave girl to another, So, oh dear, you are close to me,
and you deserve the most in this matter. As you have brought the slave
girl by fighting bravely. So handing it over to another person is not a
good thing. In short, the king married the slave girl to the wrestler. Even
though his vitality compared to the donkeys was surely less, in him and
there was the bravery of the prophets with him, which was
overwhelming.
He has done such things as belong to the holy persons.

Later life and death of Maulana Rumi

215
 216

In the book of Masnavi book the great poetry book of Moulana Rumi ,
there are added many hundred stories about proverbs and tales of olden
times, stories of humor and laughter in it.In addition to other stories of
claims in the courts of judges and proofs of claim and decrees and moral
stories and their stories aspect as well as its final results and teaching
and also in this holy book, there are added an important and remarkable
attribute in the book is that the style of explanation of the teaching and
advices in which there are mentioned the importance of morals and
phycology as well as many hundred issues of matter of Sufism and
spiritualism.
And he has mentioned in such style and description which will be
entered in the depth of the heart. But this task of translation of the
Persian stories in the Urdu book by me was not completed due to being
so much busy with my work and engagements in this matter. As well as
there was much pressure and request from friends and well-wishers in
this matter.
216
 217

For a long period of time, there was thinking about translating all stories
of moral teaching into one Urdu book. So the student and general people
of our country are able to get the benefit of the favor of knowledge of
river of these moral stories were written by Moulana Rumi.
After that, there was not passed much time and during that time there
was a published book of Masnavi by Moulana Rumi by Qazi Talamaz
Hussain M.A. in new get up and he was given the title of the book
‘Marat Mathnavi’ and the pearls of advice which were found in the
original book here and there and for which he has compiled in the book
with togetherness in this matter. Upon this, as per this task there was
become easy and clear for Mirza Nizam Shah Labib to translate the
Persian book into Urdu version. He is a great scholar of Urdu language
and poet as well as a traveler of the world of Sufism and has attributes
of experience and a seasoned personality. He has done translations of
moral stories with much interest and fondness in the original language
of the Red Fort of Delhi. And at some place, he has added the taste of
proverb and sayings of Hyderabad Deccan which was his second
headquarter. And as per mentioning of the explanation of the words and
its meanings he has made translation’s color of Sufism were dark and
depth in this matter. So for this reason the translation book has become
hard and difficult for the general readers of the book in this matter and
he has done it because there will be damage to the aim of the text of the
Masnavi in the Persian language.
And for this reason, there was no option remaining except to rewrite the
Urdu translation once again in this matter and following matters from
the books were delisted for the above reason.
1. Those stories and examples which are a purely religious type or
belongs to the faith of the Muslim community should have been deleted.
2. Some stories are rational and good in their place in this book but if
these stories are selected separately then there will be known nakedness
of the story matter known to the women and children so such stories

Preface

This is a book called "The Rumi Persian Story Book 21," which is a
very new book and will be published in 2023 in the English language.
This is a small book in which the stories from the book "The Persian
Stories of the Rumi" are added upon its translation from Urdu book, and
in this book there are some great achievements of this great sheikh of
mysticism that are not yet known to the general public. These are
published in a very interesting style, so for this reason, the readers will
find great interest and attention in this matter.
In this book, story details from the Urdu book " Hikayat Rumi part
one" are added by me upon its translation into English. And this is a
well-known and famous book that was written by Moulana Rumi in
219
 220

Persian language and Mirza Nizam Shah Labib was translated this
Persian classic book in the Urdu language . And I am presenting this
book in the presence of the readers in the English version for the first
time.
From the above facts and details, if the readers start reading this book’s
first chapter and do not stop reading till they reach its last chapter, some
interesting events as well as other great miracles and endeavors of this
holy saint are added, and this holy saint passed away from the world
many centuries ago.
Even though this is a small book, due to its importance, it is so great due
to the coverage of many interesting events and positive information in it
that it is like an ocean of knowledge and information about the holy
saint who passed away from the world upon doing his great endeavours
and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation of Islam in
foreign lands. So this book is a small one, but it will present an ocean of
knowledge and information for the guidance of people towards the right
path of Islam.
Writing about these great Sufi saints is not only difficult but also
extremely difficult, because they were not only great pious personalities
of their time in Iran and India but also great Sufi masters throughout the
world who struggled hard for the preaching and propagation of Islamic
ways centuries ago.
Rumi story books in Persian are well-known and famous books written
by Shaik Rumi. It is the enlightenment and wisdom of the treasure. This
book also revealed secrets and hinted at Sufism. And in this case, Shaik
Rumi was taken with the help of the stories.
Mirza Nizam Shah Saheb Labib has done his best translation from
Persian book in the Urdu book and has given its title ‘Hikayat Rumi’
part one to add stories on each and every subject, and he was deemed to
220
 221

be completely successful in this regard. As a result, this book has

become an important part of the Light's book series. We have confirmed
our hope that you will like this book with your heart and soul and get
favor in this matter.

1. The breaking of the pearl by Sultan Mahmood

228
 229

One day Sultan Mahmood came to the royal court, and at that time all of
his courtiers were present there. He took out of his pocket one pearl, and
he put it on the hand of the prime minister. And asked him what the
value of the pearl would be. And what will its cost be? The prime
minister said, "It cost 100 Suguan of gold." The Sultan said, Yes, to
breaking it." The minister told him by folding his hands that he was the
keeper of your treasures, gold, and properties. And Sultan praised him
by giving him a robe of honour and took the pearl back from him.
After giving some time for discussion with all of them, he gave the
pearl to one courtier and asked him for its cost. If any person desires to
buy, then what will be offered price from his side? And that courtier told
him that it would be half the value of this kingdom. May Allah keep it
from falling down. Then Sultan told him to break it. But the courtiers
told them, "Oh Sultan, breaking it will be a great loss. Leave its price
value and see its great shining, and its shining is more than daylight. So
how will his hand proceed further to break the costly pearl? I am not an
enemy of the kingdom. The king gave him a robe of honour and
increased his post in the court. And was praised for his wisdom and
intelligence.
After some time, the Sultan gave the pearl to the head of the courtiers,
asked him its cost, and asked him to break the pearl. He was also told
the above reply, as said by the other courtiers, so the Sultan has given
him a robe of honour and increased his status in the royal court.
In this way, the Sultan praised all of them and increased their status in
the court, but in such a way, all these people were falling into the well
of misguidance. In support of the prime minister, other courtiers have
said the same thing about praise in this matter and their argument for not
breaking costly pearls.
Even though the following of the order is the pillar and system of the
world, at the time of trail, the follower will face disrespect and
dishonour in this matter.
229
 230

When the Sultan has checked the wisdom of all courtiers and all of
them have gotten reward from the Sultan for their praise and support, he
has called his slave Ayaz and given him the pearl and told him to see its
shining and worthiness. And told him, Oh, Ayaz, you check and tell me
what the price of this shining pearl is." He told him that as per his guess,
its value and price are increasing. And Sultan told him to piece the pearl
in the court. So Ayaz took one stone in his sleeve and cut the pearl into
pieces as per the order of the Sultan of the kingdom. He was very well
aware of the trial of the Sultan. So he could not be deceived in this
matter. He was not misled by the greed and reward of a robe of honour
and promotion to the court position. So, as per order, he cut the pearl
into pieces. But the group's royal court cried and told them that Ayaz
had broken such a costly pearl. How daring work he has done. There is
no doubt such a person is an infidel who has broken such a costly pearl
into pieces by his ignorance and made such a mistake by order of the
king. Ayaz told the courtiers, "Oh courtiers, whether royal order is more
important than pearl?. Tell me whether you have respect for the order of
the king or the pearl. You are looking at the pearl and not considering
the order of the king of the country. So for this reason, your Qibla (is the
direction of the Kaaba (the sacred building at Mecca), to which Muslims
turn at prayer.
) Satan. And you are not on the right path. I never take my eyes off
Sultan. I do not see the stones by turning towards them like infidels.
And that soul has a bad nature, like one who puts colourful stones on the
eyes. And put aside the order of the Sultan in this matter. When
following the secret in the field, all courtiers were ashamed in this
matter, and they put their necks down due to regret and shame. And they
began to excuse their mistake in this matter.
The Sultan has given an order to the executer to kill such impure
courtiers from the royal court. Whether such impure courtiers are not
suitable in his court of justice who do not disobey my order for the sake
of one pearl and for my order these people of problems make degrade
against colour stone
230
 231

At that time, kind-hearted person Ayaz stood, and he told the king by
folding his two hands, "To forgive the carelessness and rudeness, oh
forgiver, it is due to your more kindness, so forgive all of them in this
matter. Your kindness is overwhelming. We are grateful for your
kindness. And what am I to give you advice in this matter or to remind
you of your condition of favour and forgiveness? Oh king, the heads of
criminals are there with support from your wall, and even they have lost
in royal betting. But they knew well about their mistake and crime. And
they have left their way and followed your way.
Oh king, your kindness only shows the right way towards you."
2. The enmity between the courtiers of Sultan Mahmood and his
slave Ayaz
When there was much enmity among the courtiers of Sultan Mahmood,
they told the sultan that where there was Ayaz who had wisdom and
intelligence with him, he gave him a reward and position in the royal
court equal to that of 30 courtiers in this matter.
One day, the sultan took those 30 courtiers in the jungle and in the
mountain areas for hunting purposes. He noticed a caravan approaching
from afar. He has given an order to one of his courtiers to go ask where
the caravan is coming from.? That courtier went and brought a reply that
a caravan was coming from Ray Place. The sultan then asked where the
caravan was going, but the courtier became silent and could not reply to
the sultan. The sultan sent another courtier to find the reply in this
matter. and he has replied that a caravan is going to Yemen. And the
sultan has asked him which goods they are having with them, but the
courtier could not reply in this matter. So the sultan has sent a third
courtier to find goods for the journey. He told him that they have all
kinds of goods with them, and it is possible that they have cups from
Razi Place. The sultan asked him when they had started their journey
from Ray City. But the courtier did not reply and became silent. The
sultan has sent a fourth courier to go and collect this information, and
231
 232

that courier went there and brought information that the caravan left Ray
City on the 7th Rajab, and the sultan asked him what the price of the
goods of the caravan were in Ray City. But the courtier could not give a
reply, and he has become silent. In this way, all were born with a defect
in wisdom. Each and every courtier brought a reply, but nobody could
not bring full details and information in this matter.
Then the sultan told courtiers that before your trail, I sent my slave Ayaz
to the caravan for information, and he has brought full information in
one time from the travelling caravan to Yemen. The information
brought by him is that he asked for such details from four courtiers who
could not get such information in this matter. He has proven once by his
single endeavours that his ability is a God-given gift in this matter and
which could not be found by endeavours. Allah has given a beautiful
face to the moon. And was given fresh sweet-smelling to the earth.
3.The covering of the body by grass by a bird hunter
One bird reached the green grass area, where hunting rope was found
for birds hunting there. The birds found some grain on the earth here
and there. And one person was hiding there by covering his body with
grass. And the hunter was putting one basket of flowers on his body.
The bird came there in an unknown way. By going round the grain, the
bird asked the hunter, Oh, green wearer, who are you? And you have
come into the jungle of wild animals. He told me that he is an ascetic
who left the world. And I am content on the grass of this place.
I have adopted atheism and piety as my religion. As death stands near
me, By seeing the deaths in my neighbourhood, I have learned a lesson
in this matter. There is a thought in my heart that one day I have to leave
this world and enter the grave, so why have I not left this world since
now? And start engaging in the worship of Allah.

232
 233

The bird told him that in the realm of Mohammed, there is no system
leaving the world, and it is illegal in this matter. The bird hunter was
making statements like this in this matter.
On the other side, the bird looked at the side of grain due to greed in this
matter. And the bird asked him, “Oh, Hazrat, why are the grains there in
the earth?”. Then he told him that they belong to orphan kids , and
people used to keep these goods in my custody. The bird told me he was
feeling hungry in this matter, but it is legal to have food for me in this
matter the illegal food.Oh, holy person, allow me to eat some grains in
this matter.
The hunter told him that by seeing your condition, you can make a
decision in this matter. It is a matter of prevention that steps should be
taken to avoid such food in a state of helplessness. So for this reason,
the bird was in a state of confusion. At last, the bird could not control
his condition and went near the grains and started eating the grain,
getting caught in the rope of the hunter and becoming a victim of his
hunting trap in this matter. Then he has done supplication in this matter,
but there was no benefit at all. There is a benefit to loud and crying after
going into the trap of the hunter. And this smoke of heart, which should
have come out before.
When there is an increase in greed and temptation, no pray helpful in
this matter. So that redress of the request will be fulfilled before
reaching the spot of the problem. So that the grains may not become
problems for his soul. And diminish the heat of greed in this matter.
In the trap of the ascetic bird, it is said that it is punishment for her that
she was in effect in the conversation of an ascetic person and his fraud
and deceit.
The ascetic told the hunter that it was punishment for such blind greed
in eating the food grains of the orphan boys in this matter.

233
 234

4.The thief's theft of one sheep and his dress

One person was going with his one sheep on the way. And he has a long
rope of his sheep with him. And one wise thief has cut the rope from
behind, and he has taken the sheep from there. When the person was
able to know in this matter, he began running here and there to find his
lost sheep. After some time, the thief came there by hiding sheep and sat
on the bank of the well and began weeping and making a loud cry in this
matter.
The person, upon seeing the thief, has doubt in his mind, but upon his
condition of weeping and his loud and crying, he has asked him, “Oh
brother, what is your condition and why are you making loud and
crying?" And he told him that his money bag had fallen into this well, so
he is weeping in this matter. If anyone knows to go inside the well, then
he will give him one fifth of the amount as a reward by will of
happiness. And in his bag, there are five hundred dirhams.
The owner of the sheep thought in his heart that this amount of reward
was equal to ten sheep. If one door is closed, then another door has been
opened by Allah. I have lost one sheep, but Allah has given him back
one camel for this loss. So he immediately went into the well, leaving
his clothes near the well. And after that, the thief went away from there
by taking the sheep owner’s dress off the body.
The lesson of the moral story is that the wise person should travel
straight to his village, and where he does not care, there will be greed
and plague in this matter.

234
 235

5. After the theft of the goods of the caravan and a loud and cries
by the guard
There was a guard in the caravan who used to take care of and watch
over the goods and belongings. One night there was overwhelming sleep
on the guard, and by taking such good, such chance thieves have robbed
all goods in the nighttime. They have buried all goods and sleeping
items in the earth in secret places.
When it was morning, caravan people woke up from their sleep and
found all goods and money bags, as well as all things like horses and
camels, stolen from the caravan tents. And at that time, the guard was
making loud and crying noises and making warning calls here and there.
And he was using his anger and upsetness in this matter. The people
asked, Brother, tell us where all the goods of the caravan have gone. He
told them that thieves had covered their faces before me and taken away
all goods from the tents of the travellers before me. The people, in
anger, told him on the spot what you were doing at that time. You are
useless and the worst person. He told me that "he was alone, and they
were in a group. And they have with them weapons, ammunition, and a
large stock of guns, swords, and dynamite. Yes, they told him that if you
cannot fight with them, then you can make loud noises and cry in this
matter. So that caravan people wake up, fight with the thieves, and save
their goods and money bags.
The guard told that they had shown me a sword and knife and had
warned me to be silent. Otherwise, we'll kill you. So for this fear, I was
silent and could not take any action. So instead of that, at this time I am
making loud noises and crying. At that time, due to fear of the thieves, I
was in a dangerous situation and at risk of losing my soul. So now I am
making much noise and crying in this matter instead of keeping my
silence in the presence of the robbers in the dark night.
The lesson of the moral story
235
 236

All of life was lost due to the misdeeds of Satan. So now recite
Auzubillah, and the meaning is "I seek refuge in Allah from the outcast
Shaitan." Minashaitan Nirajeem, an Arabic phrase that is recited by
Muslims daily, and verse Fataha have no usefulness at all. Even though
it is no use, to live in carelessness is more useless in this matter.
5. The calling of a druken Turk person to a singer
One Turk person from the Persian area woke up in the early morning,
and there was upon him the condition of drukness from the last night as
well as uneasiness, and he was demanded a singer in his presence. To
get out of trance, there is the power of music in this matter. And for
such persons, the singer again can make them frenzy.
The singer, by his singing, began the opening of the veil of secrets upon
the frenzy Turk person, saying, I do not know where you are or where I
am living. I do not know why you are attracting me, and in this way, in
the subject of his songs, upon singing them, he was repeating stanzas.
So for the repeat of ‘me danam’, the Turk stood with his bow in his
hand to beat him. Then he thought that it was not good to harm the
singer at this time. And he asked him, Why are you repeating this ‘me
danam me danam’ in this matter in which there is no good to listen to
and no taste at all? Now I will break your head. Oh absurd, why are you
repeating, I do not know what it means, but sing what you know in this
matter? And finish the singing of this phrase, which I do not know. I am
asking to which country you belong. Then he said that he was not from
Balq or Herat. And not from Rome or India. And neither from China nor
Syria. And not from Iraq, Baghdad, or Mousil. In this way, he
mentioned a long list of countries in this matter. And not replying to the
correct answer.
If I ask him what you ate for breakfast in the morning, he will reply that
he did not eat kabab, wine, or vegetables, not cheese, onion, milk, sugar,
or honey.
236
 237

He will ask you again to tell him what you ate and not disclose what you
did not eat in this matter. Then the singer told me that he was given a
negative reply so that you could know reality. I will start my music with
a negative description so that when you die, your death will disclose the
real secret in this matter. You have engaged in your life in many
endeavours, but you are still in a veil. Because the real point is death,
and about it you did not understand. And unless and until you go over
the steps of the building, you will not reach the top of the house. If the
rope is one yard less out of 100 yards, then for

Shaik Jalauddin Rumi’s Mausoleum in Konya , Turkiya

Translated by
A. Hafeez
Kindle Amazon author

In the book of Masnavi book the great poetry book of Moulana Rumi ,
there are added many hundred stories about proverbs and tales of olden
times, stories of humor and laughter in it.In addition to other stories of
claims in the courts of judges and proofs of claim and decrees and moral
240
 241

stories and their stories aspect as well as its final results and teaching
and also in this holy book, there are added an important and remarkable
attribute in the book is that the style of explanation of the teaching and
advices in which there are mentioned the importance of morals and
phycology as well as many hundred issues of matter of Sufism and
spiritualism.
And he has mentioned in such style and description which will be
entered in the depth of the heart. But this task of translation of the
Persian stories in the Urdu book by me was not completed due to being
so much busy with my work and engagements in this matter. As well as
there was much pressure and request from friends and well-wishers in
this matter.
For a long period of time, there was thinking about translating all stories
of moral teaching into one Urdu book. So the student and general people
of our country are able to get the benefit of the favor of knowledge of
river of these moral stories were written by Moulana Rumi.
After that, there was not passed much time and during that time there
was a published book of Masnavi by Moulana Rumi by Qazi Talamaz
Hussain M.A. in new get up and he was given the title of the book
‘Marat Mathnavi’ and the pearls of advice which were found in the
original book here and there and for which he has compiled in the book
with togetherness in this matter. Upon this, as per this task there was
become easy and clear for Mirza Nizam Shah Labib to translate the
Persian book into Urdu version. He is a great scholar of Urdu language
and poet as well as a traveler of the world of Sufism and has attributes
of experience and a seasoned personality. He has done translations of
moral stories with much interest and fondness in the original language
of the Red Fort of Delhi. And at some place, he has added the taste of
proverb and sayings of Hyderabad Deccan which was his second
headquarter. And as per mentioning of the explanation of the words and
its meanings he has made translation’s color of Sufism were dark and
depth in this matter. So for this reason the translation book has become
241
 242

hard and difficult for the general readers of the book in this matter and
he has done it because there will be damage to the aim of the text of the
Masnavi in the Persian language.
And for this reason, there was no option remaining except to rewrite the
Urdu translation once again in this matter and following matters from
the books were delisted for the above reason.
1. Those stories and examples which are a purely religious type or
belongs to the faith of the Muslim community should have been deleted.
2. Some stories are rational and good in their place in this book but if
these stories are selected separately then there will be known nakedness
of the story matter known to the women and children so such stories
have been ignored in this matter.
3. Where there are arguments in deep and reasons and points lengthy
and have repeated and at this place, the short and simple way was
followed for the translation of the stores.
4. In short to keep the stories of the book in an interesting way and to
have a fondness for each and every reader and as well as in this matter
there was taken care and attention to moral instruction and the pious
teaching style of Moulana Rumi in this matter.

Preface

This is a book called "The Rumi Story Book 22," which is a very new
book and will be published in 2023 in the English language.
This is a small book in which the stories from the book "The Persian

In this book, story details from the Urdu book " Hikayat Rumi part one"

language and Mirza Nizam Shah Labib was translated this Persian
classic book in the Urdu language . And I am presenting this book in
the presence of the readers in the English version for the first time.
From the above facts and details, if the readers start reading this book’s
first chapter and do not stop reading till they reach its last chapter, some
interesting events as well as other great miracles and endeavors of this

Writing about these great Sufi saints is not only difficult but also
extremely difficult, because they were not only great pious personalities
of their time in Iran and India but also great Sufi masters throughout the
world who struggled hard for the preaching and propagation of Islamic
ways centuries ago.
Rumi story books in Persian are well-known and famous books written

1.The singing of one person on the door of an unhabitated

mansion

One person was singing on the door of one mansion. Still, half a night
had passed. One person told him that your voice is very bad. And you
are crying in the middle of the night. So you sing this song in the early
249
 250

morning time.See first checj whether there are any living persons in the
house. In this house, nobody except Faries and Satan nobody live in the
old house.So do not waste your time on this matter. A person of
consciousness is required to understand your song and to take the taste.
So there are no persons of consciousness in this matter. The singer told
from this slave to hear his reply.
 So that there should be no surprise to you about my movement in
this matter. Even though you are feeling half asleep, but for me,
this is early morning. All nights have become daytime in my eyes.
You have told me that in a mansion and in open space opposite a
palace gate area nobody is residing and I am beating the drums at
this place. And its reply is as follows:
Those who know how to keep well the house with a friend. And many
houses are full with people, but at last there will be find an empty the
look in this matter.

2. The slapping of the patient by Sufi and Qazi persons

One patient went to visit the doctor and asked him to check his pulse
and tell him about his health condition. The doctor checked the pulse of
the patient and was able to know his health condition, and he found
there was no hope for his health recovery. So he told him that he could
do whatever he liked so that his illness could leave his body. And think
of patience and prevention for this illness as damage. And engage in the
work surely as desired by the heart. And the patient told him, May
Allah keep you good. Now, brother, I am going to the riverside. And
250
 251

where he found one Sufi who was washing his mouth there. Suddenly
there came the thought in his mind to strike on the head of the Sufi, so
he struck on his head. He thought that there is a desire in his heart, and
if he does not fulfil it, there will be a increase in illness. When he struck
the head of the Sufi, he stood. It was his intention to strike three punches
at him and remove his beard and moustache. And when his eyes fall
upon him, he has found a thin and ill person, and he is very weak, and if
he strikes, he will die at once. As his work has been done already by the
angle of the death. Upon my one punch, he will be melted like wax, and
there will be a claim of his death. And he caught the edge of his shirt
and took him to the Qazi office. So that this donkey type person may sit
on the donkey’s back, or in reply to his slapping he should be struck by
the whip, and it should be done as per your advice in this matter.
The Qazi told him where to strike. And still, his claim is not approved.
The law of the Islamic Sharah is only for living and wayward persons
and not for persons who are near at the death. There is no expediency in
sitting on the donkey. There is no longer a thin, wooden-like person to
sat on the back of the donkey and the donkey’s back is not suitable for
him. And for his disrespect, Coffin is good in this matter.
The Sufi told Qazi that there is no punishment for him for striking me,
and it is good that roadside walkers strike the Sufi persons without any
reason or fault, and they will not get punishment, which is legal in this
matter.? The Qazi told “Oh Sufi person go from here and do not fight
such a person who is going to die soon. Oh, Sufi, what do you have with
you at this time? And he told him that he had with him six darhms. The
Qazi told him to spend three dirhams. And give him three darhmas, as
he is a very weak person. And he is an ill and poor person, and he can
use three darhms to purchase bread for him.

Upon hearing this, the Sufi person began fighting with the Qazi, and on
the other side, the health condition of the patient was not good. When
251
 252

there was a fall look of the nape of neck of the Qazi, which seemed
soft, then he was sufi and good in this matter. The patient stretched his
hand to strike and went near the Qazi to say something, and he struck on
his head immediately. And he told them that you both distribute six
darhams between you. So that he can leave the place with doubts and
worries in this matter.
Upon this event, the Qazi became very angry and upset in this matter.
and wanted to give an order for whipping him. The Sufi said, "On
keeper of the Islamic shariah law, your order is as per justice.? And in it
saying there is no doubt at all that whatever you like, not himself, then
how you are proposing such an order to your brother in this matter."
3. The asking of the Sultan Mahmood's slave to sit on his throne
When Sultan Mahmood asked his slave to sit on his throne, he began
weeping in this matter.
Oh dear, my sons I have mentioned such mistakes that you have all
made. And I have heard such stories from Attar. That holy person has
mentioned that during his wars in India, he found one Hindu boy. And
Sultan Mahood of Gazni has taken him to Gazni and adopted that boy as
his son.
In the best and most lengthy story by Farid Aldin Attar, there is his best
description of the story. In short, once, Sultan Mahmood asked that boy
to sit on the royal throne. And Sultan himself was sitting at the side of
the prince. But that boy began weeping bitterly in this matter, and there
were falling tears from his eyes continuously like rain in this matter.
The Sultan told him, Oh, prince of the throne, why are you weeping in
this matter? Whether you did not like this prestige and honour. You are
sitting on a place of status that is higher than seven skies. And all the
ministers, courtiers, and army staff are sitting around you like stars in
the sky.
252
 253

The boy told me that "He is weeping because in India her mother used
to make me afraid and say to me that may God make my son prisnoner
by the army of Sultan Mahmud of Gazni. At that time, my father used to
prohibit her in this matter and say to her, How is your wish to curse the
small boy in this matter? You are killing your boy with a thousand
swords. I was used to being surprised due to the conversation between
my parents. For this reason, I will experience grief and fear in my heart.
And used to think that from which hell Mahmood has come, and there is
thinking that falling caught by his hands is a grave punishment and
adversity in this matter. Oh, great Sultan of the World, due to your
pride, I used to fear in this matter, and due to the false misconception of
my mother, I used to weep till this time also in this matter. I desire now
that my parents are not there to see me because I am sitting on the royal
throne of the world, which belongs to Sultan Mahmood of Gazni.
Oh narrow-minded person of the nature, this pride and favour belong to
King Mahmood, with whom you are always afraid in this matter.
And if you know about the kindness and favour of Mahmood, then you
will pray with happiness for your pride in the happy end of your own
life in this matter.
4. The stealing of cloth from a Turk customer by the tailor
One sweet-style teller of the stories, who was sitting among his friends,
said, "Whether you have not heard stories of the stealing of clothes from
customers by tailors, he was telling stories of theft by this group in a
very interesting style. In this way, he has read tailor-made story details.
Due to his sweet style of description, there was a large gathering of
people around him to listen to his stories of tailors cloth stealing Due to
his sweet style of description, there was a large gathering of people
around him to listen to his stories of tailors stealing from customers'
clothes. Due to his sweet style of telling stories, the storyteller became
very famous and well known in this field.
253
 254

When he told many stores of the stealing of the cloth of the customers
by the tailors, he told how these faroud people used to take away the
cloths of the custormers and deceive the customers. Among the listners
was one Turk from the country of Qata who was angry and upset in this
matter, and he has asked the storyteller to inform him who is the most
cunning and deceiving tailor of this city, what his name is, and who is
causing trouble to the customers of this place. The storyteller tells that
his name is Poorish, he has a cunning and bad nature, and his hand is
perfect at stealing the clothes of the customers.
The Turk person told him that he could make a bet with any person that
from his clothes the tailor would not steal cloth and deceive him in this
matter. He cannot play any tricks with me, but he could not take from
his clothiers even one thread of cloth. The other person told him, "Oh,
brother, do not make bets in this matter, as other wise people have been
deceived by him in this matt matter.So do not expect much from your
wisdom. So that in this matter, if you involve yourself in this way, you
will be looted".
At this point, Turk confirmed his bet by depositing his horse. And he
began saying that, whether old or new, he could not take away any piece
of his cloth by stealing from him. Some the people have incited him, so
he was out of control for his intentions, and he was ready in this matter.
The Turk has deposited his Tazi horse with the people, and he said “If
he loses his bet, he will lose his Tazi horse. If the tailor will not be able
to steal even one piece of my cloth, you have to provide me with one
horse, like my Tazi horse, in this matter.”
In short, when the dealing of the bet was finalized, the Turk could not
sleep the whole night because of his confusion in this matter, and he was
thinking about his bet. And in the morning, he had purchased satin
cloth, put it in his armpit, and went into the shop of a fraudulent tailor in
the bazaar of the city.

254
 255

When the tailor has seen the new customer in the shop, he has stood and
welcomed him with much respect in his shop and said salam to him. He
has shown him much respect and honour, which was not expected by
him.
So for this reason, there was favour in his heart. And he has put his satin
cloth made in Istanbul before him and asked to make a qaba (a loose
quilted garment that is open in front and reaches to the knees (it is worn
over other garments), a quilted garment) that is suitable to wear on the
battle field. And its upper part should be tight, so it will fit over the
body. And the lower part should be wide. So that it should not come into
the feet and be pressed.
The tailor put his two hands on his eyes and chest, and he said, “ Oh,
gentleman, I am ready to serve you in the best possible way, sir.” He has
measured the cloth and made pencil marks at many places to cut the
cloth according to size requirements. And with this, he began a sweet
conversation to please him and told him the stories of rich nobles and
courtiers of the kings in this matter. He talked about their rewards and
prizes, and he also talked about the mean people and events surrounding
them and their mean actions in a pleasant manner to make him laugh in
the middle of his conversation. In those events, he told one story of
laughter.
The Turk began laughing very much, and when he began, his small
eyes began closing. Immediately, the tailor kept one piece of cloth under
his thigh in such a way that, except for God, no one could know in this
matter.
Even though Allah watches all our cunning acts, he will not disclose
them, but when they are exceeded, he will disclose them in this matter.
As-Sattr, 'the Veiler (of Sin), is an attribute of Allah to hide our faults
and defects.

255
 256

In short, in the pleasing story, the Turkish person forgets his aim and
purpose in this matter. So where has gone away from the claim of the
satin cloth, and where has gone away from the bet of the Tazi horse?
He was forgetting everything and he was listening only jokes, pleasant
conversations, and events. So he began requesting that the tailor tell him
one story of pleasing events in this matter so that he could get pleasure
from it.
The tailor told him one more interesting story, so he was very happy, so
much so that he could not bear humour in this matter. So the tailor has
hidden one piece of the satin cloth in the back side of the trouser. The
Turk was engaged in happiness, and he could not notice it. In this way,
Turk has requested him to tell one more story, and the tailor has told one
more pleasing story, so for this reason, Turk has become a victim for the
third time in this matter for stealing satin cloth, and in this matter, the
eyes of Turk were closed and his wisdom was left from him. As well,
his counsel was no longer with him in this matter.
Due to laughing, he was having a side split and moving here and there.
And third time, the tailor has stolen away some piece of cloth, and he
has found a good chance due to the laugh of the Turk.
This is the fourth time Turk has requested the master tailor to tell him
some other interesting story for his entertainment. So for this, there
came a kindness feeling to the tailor, and he told him, “Oh, sir, now
leave jokes and stories; it is enough, and if I tell another story, then you
will hear it and remember that story for your entire life period."
Not hear the result of this allegorical story that the man is a fool and the
fraudulent and cunning tailor is the world, and the garment of satin is
piety, which is stitched for pious deeds and which is destroyed in fun
and play in this matter. The satin cloth is your age. Jokes and laughter
are human emotions and days and nights are like scissors. And your
attraction to fun and play is your carelessness in this matter, and the
horse is your faith. And Satan is trying and ready to make an ambush.
256
 257

So readers have a moral from this story: be careful, correct your

consciousness, leave aspects of the story manifest (fun and play), and
save your age of satin from the scissors of time as the cunning tailor is
snatching it away piece by piece in this matter.

5. Visit of one person to Hazrat Abul Hasan Qarqani and

misbehaviour of his wife
From the city of Halqan, one beggar visits Qarqan upon hearing the
name and fame of Hazrat Abul Hasan Qarqani. Upon passing through
big mountains and jungles, he went to the place of Qarqan. When he had
reached his destination and upon searching his house, he went to the
house of Shaik of time and, with much humility, knocked on the door.
And then one woman took her head from the door and asked him,
“What work does he have?" And for whom he is searching.” He has told
her he came to kiss the foot of Shaik Abul Hasan, and she laughed in
this matter. And there is shame upon his beard. You have reached here
by covering such a long journey, so whether you do not have any work
in your country, or you are a mad person or perhaps Satan has
misguided you in this matter.
In short, that woman has said the wrong things to him. And which are
not suitable to write here. Due to his misbehaviour and scolding, the
disciple was worried about this matter, and tears came from his eyes.
Then he told her that yes, these things are right, but where is that king?
The woman told him that he is a joker and fraudulent person, living the
life of fools and misguided persons. It is good that you did not meet him
and went back safely from this place. And do not involve yourself in his
work. And he is so talkative and a teller of big stories and praise for
himself. And he needs things to be free for him. And for this, he has
become famous throughout the whole country. The people of this nation
call him Sabti, worshipper of calf, and those who worship such cows
and do service to the cow It is regrettable and good that followers of
257
 258

Prophet Musa now kill cow worshippers. There has not remained the
system of the prophet and his companions, and prayer, recitals, and
manners of worship are not practiced in these days. They have left
behind Islamic Shariah law and fear of God. And Hazrat Umar, who
used to force the people to follow Islamic rules and regulations, has left.
And also advice for good work. Upon hearing this conversation of
misbehaviour, the disciple became angry in this matter. He has scolded
that woman. And that he left from there. He began asking where Shaik
had gone. ? One person told him that he was Qutub (an Islamic saint
who has attained the highest degree of sanctity and has become, within
some areas of Islamic mysticism, responsible for the invisible
government of the world) of this period, and he went towards the
mountainside to bring wood for his kitchen. In the fondness of the
Shaik, the disciple went straight. And before he travels, there will be
apprehensions about Satan there with him. By walking, he began to
wonder why Shaik has kept such a woman of misbehavior in his house.
How will there be love and affection among two persons who have
opposite thinking and feelings in this matter, and with such a leader of
the world, there is a Satan-type woman living with him? And how is this
dealing? By sending a curse on Satan, he was telling his heart that to
criticise the Shaik is not good, and in such confusion and worry, he was
walking on the way.
He has seen that the shaik of time is coming by riding on the horse, and
there are jungle wood bundles on the tiger's back. He was sitting on the
jungle wood. And there was a snake in his hand like a whip. He saw the
disciple from afar, and he laughed at him and he told him “Do not
believe what she says, poor person. The holy person was able to know
the confusion of his mind in this matter and he told him all the details
of the event that was passed on to him. He has told him about the curse
on the wife. And he told him that she is my wife. Yes, you believe that
if I don't respond to her conversation, then I will not have control over
the male tiger in this situation to carry my load of wood for my kitchen
house in this matter.

 263

In the book of Masnavi book the great poetry book of Moulana Rumi ,
there are added many hundred stories about proverbs and tales of olden
times, stories of humor and laughter in it.In addition to other stories of
claims in the courts of judges and proofs of claim and decrees and moral
stories and their stories aspect as well as its final results and teaching
and also in this holy book, there are added an important and remarkable
attribute in the book is that the style of explanation of the teaching and
advices in which there are mentioned the importance of morals and
phycology as well as many hundred issues of matter of Sufism and
spiritualism.
And he has mentioned in such style and description which will be
entered in the depth of the heart. But this task of translation of the
Persian stories in the Urdu book by me was not completed due to being
so much busy with my work and engagements in this matter. As well as
there was much pressure and request from friends and well-wishers in
this matter.
263
 264

For a long period of time, there was thinking about translating all stories
of moral teaching into one Urdu book. So the student and general people
of our country are able to get the benefit of the favor of knowledge of
river of these moral stories were written by Moulana Rumi.
After that, there was not passed much time and during that time there
was a published book of Masnavi by Moulana Rumi by Qazi Talamaz
Hussain M.A. in new get up and he was given the title of the book
‘Marat Mathnavi’ and the pearls of advice which were found in the
original book here and there and for which he has compiled in the book
with togetherness in this matter. Upon this, as per this task there was
become easy and clear for Mirza Nizam Shah Labib to translate the
Persian book into Urdu version. He is a great scholar of Urdu language
and poet as well as a traveler of the world of Sufism and has attributes
of experience and a seasoned personality. He has done translations of
moral stories with much interest and fondness in the original language
of the Red Fort of Delhi. And at some place, he has added the taste of
proverb and sayings of Hyderabad Deccan which was his second
headquarter. And as per mentioning of the explanation of the words and
its meanings he has made translation’s color of Sufism were dark and
depth in this matter. So for this reason the translation book has become
hard and difficult for the general readers of the book in this matter and
he has done it because there will be damage to the aim of the text of the
Masnavi in the Persian language.
And for this reason, there was no option remaining except to rewrite the
Urdu translation once again in this matter and following matters from
the books were delisted for the above reason.
1. Those stories and examples which are a purely religious type or
belongs to the faith of the Muslim community should have been deleted.
2. Some stories are rational and good in their place in this book but if
these stories are selected separately then there will be known nakedness
of the story matter known to the women and children so such stories
have been ignored in this matter.
264
 265

3. Where there are arguments in deep and reasons and points lengthy
and have repeated and at this place, the short and simple way was
followed for the translation of the stores.
4. In short to keep the stories of the book in an interesting way and to
have a fondness for each and every reader and as well as in this matter
there was taken care and attention to moral instruction and the pious
teaching style of Moulana Rumi in this matter.

Preface

This is a book called "The Rumi Story Book 23," which is a very new
book and will be published in 2023 in the English language.
This is a small book in which the stories from the book "The Persian
Stories of the Rumi" are added upon its translation from Urdu book, and
266
 267

in this book there are some great achievements of this great sheikh of
mysticism that are not yet known to the general public. These are
published in a very interesting style, so for this reason, the readers will
find great interest and attention in this matter.
In this book, story details from the Urdu book " Hikayat Rumi part one"
are added by me upon its translation into English. And this is a well-
known and famous book that was written by Moulana Rumi in Persian
language and Mirza Nizam Shah Labib was translated this Persian
classic book in the Urdu language . And I am presenting this book in
the presence of the readers in the English version for the first time.
From the above facts and details, if the readers start reading this book’s
first chapter and do not stop reading till they reach its last chapter, some
interesting events as well as other great miracles and endeavors of this
holy saint are added, and this holy saint passed away from the world
many centuries ago.
Even though this is a small book, due to its importance, it is so great due
to the coverage of many interesting events and positive information in it
that it is like an ocean of knowledge and information about the holy
saint who passed away from the world upon doing his great endeavours
and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation of Islam in
foreign lands. So this book is a small one, but it will present an ocean of
knowledge and information for the guidance of people towards the right
path of Islam.
Writing about these great Sufi saints is not only difficult but also
extremely difficult, because they were not only great pious personalities
of their time in Iran and India but also great Sufi masters throughout the
world who struggled hard for the preaching and propagation of Islamic
ways centuries ago.

267
 268

Rumi story books in Persian are well-known and famous books written
by Shaik Rumi. It is the enlightenment and wisdom of the treasure. This
book also revealed secrets and hinted at Sufism. And in this case, Shaik
Rumi was taken with the help of the stories.
Mirza Nizam Shah Saheb Labib has done his best translation from
Persian book in the Urdu book and has given its title ‘Hikayat Rumi’
part one to add stories on each and every subject, and he was deemed to
be completely successful in this regard. As a result, this book has
become an important part of the Light's book series. We have confirmed
our hope that you will like this book with your heart and soul and get
favor in this matter.

1.The travel of Muslim, Jew, and Christian together

Oh, my son, now here is one moral story so that there will be no effect
or involvement by you in this matter. On one journey, Muslim, Jew, and
Christian travelled together.
When they have reached one destination, one person has brought them a
sweet dish. And he put this sweet dish before all of them, and two of
them were suffering from indigestion. And Muslim was fasting on that
day. When it came time for evening prayer, the Muslim person was
feeling very strongly hunger about this matter.
So he does not want patience. And both of them told him, "There is an
aim with you that you want to eat away the whole sweet by you."But he
told them, "Dear friends, we are three persons, as there is a difference in
this matter, so we have to distribute the sweet among ourselves. So any
person can eat, keep the sweet, or share it with another person. But those
infidels were thinking that a Muslim person would keep hungry
throughout the night and suffer in this matter. But as he was following
his trust in Allah and seeing their stubbornness, he was silent.

273
 274

So all of them slept and woke up in the morning after washing their
mouths. They all engaged in the worship of God through their own
methods.
Whether Jew, Christian, or infidel, all will cast their eyes in the
direction of the King of the Worlds. Even stones, mountains, earth, and
water have a connection with Allah. When they were free from
engagement and work.
One person started the discussion by saying, "One who has seen the
dream in the last night should mention it. The person who tells the best
dream will be eligible to get a whole sweet dish so that he can eat it by
himself or share it with anyone else. Because whose knowledge will be
more than eating of him will be the same with other people in this
matter.”
And upon his ability, there will be more mirjan (a hard substance
formed in the sea from masses of shells of very small sea animals,
usually orange or red in colour, like rock, formed in the sea by groups of
particular types of small animals, often used in jewellery, coral) than
other persons. And the other persons should engage themselves in his
service.
So the Jewish person began telling other people what he had seen and
where he had gone in the dream. He said, "He was going someplace,
and on the way he met the soul of the prophet Musa, and by following
him he has reached Mount Sinai. And where three persons were hid in
the light and three shadows were hid in the light of that sun, after that,
there was one door open from that light. And from that light was created
another light. And that light began to expand. So me and the prophet
went to Mount Sinai, and three of us were lost in the shining light.
Then I saw that the light of reality blew on it, and that mountain was
broken into three pieces. And one piece fell into the ocean, and for this
ocean, the water turned sweet from sour, and another branch fell on the
274
 275

earth, so there was a water spring created. Which is a cure for many
diseases. The third branch was fallen near Kaba, near the area of Arafa.
From the unconscious came consciousness, and I saw Mount Sinai,
which was in its old condition. But it was melting at the feet of the
prophet Musa. And all of its peaks were no longer there. And there were
its stones there. And due to fear, the mountain fell and was levelled to
the ground. And its height was turned into the lowest level of the earth.
In short, the Jew person was told many things like the ones above in this
matter and that Jewish person gave so many explanations.
After that, the Christian told me that "He was seen as the prophet Jesus
in his dream and I have reached the fourth sky along with him, which is
the centre of the sun. In the forts of the sky, there are many wanders ,
and for the wanders of the world, there is no connection with them. And
this is known by each and every person that the greatness of the sky is
greater than the earth.
Finally, when it was the turn of the Muslim, he said, "Oh brother, what
should I tell all of you?" In the last night, prophet Mohammed, who
belongs to Syed Sadat's family, is the leader of all prophets, the pride of
both worlds, and the giver of advice for all mankind.
He told me that “ Among your friends, one went to Mount Senai, and he
is engaged in the love and worship of Allah." The other friend went to
the 4th heaven with the ruler of the time, the prophet Jesus. So, oh lazy,
stand up and eat away at the sweet dish. The other persons of perfection
went away on the horses and they got the status of pride and position,
and they went in the company of the angels in the sky. You are a useless
person left alone in this matter. You will be content with the dish of the
sweet.” When I heard the order of such a king of the world in his
helpless condition, I ate a dish of sweet with all breads there.
Upon hearing this, the Christian and Jew told him in a worried
condition, "Oh, greedy and unwise person tell truly whether you have
275
 276

eaten all of the sweet alone.” The Muslim said, “As there was an order
of my master, how can he be against it and refuse in this matter?.
Whether you, being a Jewish person, will go against the order of
Prophet Musa. And you Christian person will refuse the order of Jesus
Christ, whether that order will be good or bad. So then why will he go
against the order of the chief of all prophets of Allah? I have eaten the
sweet of the dish, and now I am happy in this matter.”
So both of them said, "You have seen a true dream in the last night.
What you have seen is better than our hundred dreams in this matter.
Your dream is in the wake-up condition, and in the wake-up condition,
its effect is there.”

2. The camel, bull, and sheep found on the way a bundle of grass.
The camel, bull, and ship found on the way a bundle of grass, and the
sheep said, "If we distribute among us, then no one will be satisfied in
this matter. It is better that it is left for him, as he is older than all of us.
Because there is a saying of the prophet Mohammed (peace be upon
him) that the senior people should be given priority.” So the sheep said
to the camel and bull, “Oh, dear friends, when there came the condition
of an age limit, each and every person should tell his age. One who will
be older than he should eat, and others should not eat the grass bundle.
The sheep told that during the prophet Ismail's time, my grass field,
which was near the place of his slaughter, was where he had brought
him.” The bull told him that “He is older than him in this matter, and I
am one of the pairs of bulls that were used by Prophet Adam in the
cultivation of the field for the first time in the world after his coming
back to the earth from the heavenly resort.”
When the camel heard the strange matters of sheep and bull, he put his
head down and said, "I do not need to keep to the memory of my longer
age as my longer body and my neck are very long in this matter."

3. The coming of the joker to the city from the village upon
hearing the royal announcement

There was one joker with King Tarmiz, and his name was Dillaq, who
was liked very much by the king in his court. One time he went to the
village upon applying for leave in court from the city. During that time,
the king required some work in the city of Samarqand on an urgent
basis, and the joker heard encouragement in the village that if one goes
to Samarqand within five days and brings a reply from there, he will
reward him with a lot of cash money so that he will become a wealthy
person in the city.
By chance, the joker was sitting in the village, and he heard the royal
annunciation on the beat of Tom Tom. When he was heard, he went to
Tarmiz very fast, passing many hardships. He was so fast in his journey
that his two horses died during the covering of the destination. In this
matter, there was a covering of dust and clouds on his body from the
journey. And he was reached in the court of the king in the late hours.
So for this reason, there was gossip in the royal court among the
ministers and courtiers, and even the king was in doubt about this
matter.
The general public and special people were worried about this matter.
And they said, “Oh, Allah, what clamour has fallen upon him that he is
so worried in this matter?”. They began thinking about whether any
strong enemy was coming towards our city with a huge army to attack
us. Or whether there is coming any calamity from the invisible source,
and so for this reason, Joker Dallaq came from his village to our city in
a worried condition, such that on the way costly his horses died in this
matter.

277
 278

For the above event, all the people of the city gathered at the palace of
the king to know the details of this matter. Why did the joker come back
from his village so fast? Upon seeing his fastness and worry, the people
of Tarmiz were worried, and one person, beating his thigh, began to cry
loudly in this matter. And some other people, due to doubt, began
weeping and making loud and crying sounds.
There was general worry among the people due to the clamor. And each
and every person was involved in thinking of a hundred kinds of doubts
in this matter.
In short, the joker wants to meet the king in a special way. So the king
has called him to court urgently. Outside of the court, whoever ever asks
the joker in this matter, he will put his hands on his mouth and become
silent. Due to his silence and secrecy, there were increased doubts
among the people in this matter, and they have become surprised and
curious that there may be some urgent and important issue in this
matter.
At last, he was present before the king of the country. And the king told
him to inform him of the matter soon. The joker told him, Oh, king, wait
a little for some time so that my respiration system can become normal.
So that my conscious can become better. I am involved in a strange
condition; the king awaited the details from the joker for an hour. As
such, due to this fact, the throat and mouth of the king, due to his
apprehension, have become sour and upset.
The king had not seen Dillak in such a condition before. As he used to
tell many kinds of jokes and good stories to please everyone. And in this
way, he used to keep the king in a happy condition. The joker used to
laugh in the meeting so much that the king would laugh very much by
holding his stomach. Despite the fact that the joke's face was seen today
in a worried, upset, and grieving state. And he told the king to be silent
by putting his hand on his mouth.
278
 279

In those days, there were many thoughts in the mind of the king. As in
those days, there was one king, and his name was Qursam, who was a
great king and who shed blood by killing the man. And the captial of
that king was Samarqand. And one non-sense person became his royal
advisor in the court. That unfortunate person has been killed by his
advice and tricks many kings. And in some places, he has sent armies
being forced to attack kingdoms. And killed kings in this way.
The king of Tarmiz was afraid of the king Qurram Shah of Samarqand,
and due to the action of the Dillak, there was confirmation of doubt and
fear of the king. So the king told him “To say soon what the real truth
in this matter and why there is such your worry and fear with you in this
matter.
At last, Dillak told him by folding his hands, Oh king, I have heard in
my village kings’announcement that there is a requirement for a
messenger to reach Samarqand in three days and bring a reply from the
king of Samarqand, then he will be given a reward and a great portion of
the cash money for this task. So for this reason, he has reached in your
presence very quickly. So that I can tell you that now I do not have such
energy and power with me to fulfil the hard task of the king.
The king told him, Oh, there is a curse on your steadfastness, which
caused worry and fear in the whole city. Oh, unwise person, you have
burned down my whole grazing place".
4.The friendship of the mouse with the frog
There was an event in the scheme of things as willed by nature that a
mouse and a frog met at the bank of one river, and both of them used to
visit the bank of the river each and every morning at a prescribed time.
And due to the meeting of both of them, there will be an expansion of
love in their hearts, and they will exchange their conversations and tell
stories.

279
 280

When there was an increase in love and friendship, the mouse said, Oh,
my dear friend, frog, in this prescribed short time I could not tell you all
stores as per my will and pleasure. There is an order of five prayers, but
see the condition in this matter that the lovers are all in prayer always.
And that intoxication may not be found by performing the five prayers. I
do not have peace of mind, even for a while, without seeing your face.
So it is good that you make me happy and remember me at all times.
You have fixed a meeting for only one time in the morning. And I am
not satisfied with this ratio. It made my entry into the water impossible,
as I was made of soil.
At last, it was decided to use one length of rope in this matter, so by
pulling it, there will be a signal, and one end of the rope will be in my
leg and another end will be tied in your leg. So that when I call you to
come on the earth, you can come from the water by my pulling on the
rope.
But this suggestion was not liked by the frog, and he felt it was hard and
tough. So he said, See, I do not like the imprisonment and restriction.
But when there is no like for anything, then that work will happen. And
from it will come problems in this matter. But for the sake of his friend,
the frog accepted the suggestion of his friend, the mouse. So it happened
that when a mouse wanted to meet a frog at the riverside, he pulled the
rope, and the frog came out of the water to see him from the water. And
many days passed in such a condition.
By the operation of divine decree, one crow suddenly arrived at the
bank of the river, attacked the mouse, and by taking him, he flew from
there. When the mouse was caught in the grip of the crow, a frog slowly
emerged from the river's water and was seen in the sky height alongside
the mouse.
The mouse was in the beak of the crow, but there was a frog hanging
with him there. The people on earth were surprised and thinking how
cunningly the crow had hunted a frog from the water. And how he has
280
 281

entered the water level. And at that time, Frog was telling and by crying
that this punishment is for such a person who makes friendship with
unsuitable in this matter.
The result of the mortal story is that "Oh Allah, make everybody safe
from the company of the bad person. So pious people search for good
people for the sake of your company."

5. One night, King Mahmood was in the company of robbers.

One night, King Mahmood participated in the gang of robbers in
disguise. When he was with them for some time, they asked, “Oh,
brother, who are you?" And he told them he was also a robber. On this
one, the robber said, "Oh brothers, come show your expertise one by
one. And each and every person told him what expertise he had with
him in this matter. One robber told him that “In his ears he has such
perfection that when dogs bark, I can tell what people are saying about
such and such rich people.” The other told me that “If I see someone at
night, he can recognize him during the day.” The third person said that
he has much power in his hands, and he used his hands for his activity.
The fourth robber told him that “He has the power of smell in his nose
and that he can find wealth hidden in the earth in every place. The fifth
one said that “He has such more power in his punch that when he throws
a slip knot on the palace, it will reach the parapet wall.”
At last, that person has asked the sultan who he has with him, and the
king told him “He has such expertness that when the executor wants to
kill the criminal, upon movement of his beard , there will be his release.
All robbers were told in one tone that you are our leader because, at the
time of the problem, your help would be keep away the punishment or
difficulty in this matter.

281
 282

Upon this, all went out of that place and reached the royal palace of the
king. When there was a barked dog on the right side, one robber said,
Brothers, there is around us one king. And the second one told me by
smelling the soil that in this soil there is a treasure of the king. The
person throwing the split knot threw it at the height of the palace
building, and he was reached on the other side of the wall of the palace.
The person with the split knot who has helped others reach the royal
treasure. Each and every person has taken whatever was found there and
left the place. They have taken golden coins, pearls, and cloth rolls of
brocade. And they have hidden all the stolen goods in some secret place.
The sultan of the country has seen well the residing place of the robbers,
and he has noted down carefully and well the features and faces of the
robbers.
The king, hiding from all the robbers, left from there and the next day he
declared the event of the robbers in the capital city. Then, immediately,
powerful royal policemen, holding swords in their hands, ran to the spot
of the robbers. And they have arrested each and every robber from their
secret hiding place. And presented the robbers with the shackles in their
hands in the royal court. And the robbers were shivering at the
punishment of the death penalty in this matter. When they were
presented before the king of the country, who was with them like the
moon on the last night? And the robber who will recognize anybody in
the daytime by seeing the person in the night and who, upon seeing the
king sitting on the throne, told his friends that the king was with us
during last night in our trails "Oh, king, who likes secret checking at
night in a secret way," he said, folding his hands on his chest. Now the
time has come to shake your beard. Among all of us have been shown
our perfection, from which there is an increase in bad luck and
difficulty, to the point that our necks were covered with tight shackles,
and all our perfection and expertness have been like the rope of the
dates that are in our necks in this moment. And on the day of death,
there will be no help for us. At this time, nobody came to our help. But
that person helped, whose eye had recognized the king, so there came
282
 283

feelings of mercy to Sultan Mahmood of Gazni. And by hanging his

bread, the lives of robbers were safe and secured in this matter.
6.The running of one sheep upon seeing the prophet Moses
The running of one sheep upon seeing the prophet Moses and the
prophet also went back in the search of the sheep, and during the
search, the prophet’s sleepers were torn and damaged. And his feet
were also injured, and wounds were found on his feet. He searched
for the sheep until late at night. At last, the sheep was tired and stood
in one place in a lazy mood.
And the prophet reached out to see her. And cleared her dust and
clouds in this matter. He has put his hand on his head, stomach, and
hands with affection and love. And he was treating her like his
mother. And there was no anger and annoyance with him toward the
sheep.
There were tears in his eyes when he saw the condition of the sheep.
And he told her, “He does not have mercy towards you, but tell me how
you suffered such difficulty in this matter. “And at that time Allah told
angels, “This person is suitable for our prophet to work on our behalf on
the earth".
There is a saying of the prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) that
"Every prophet, whatever he may be young or kid, and for him it is the
work of a shepherd. And for creating in them patience and respect for
others from the side of Allah, which will entrust them with the work of
the shepherd in this matter”.
7. Kharizim Shah's fondness for horses
There was such a beautiful horse with one courtier, which King
Kharizim Shah did not have with himself in his royal stable. And
compared to such a horse, no one could find one like that beautiful
horse. One day the owner of a horse who was a courtier of the king was
283
 284

riding and going to some place, and by chance there was the fallen look
of Khawarizam Shah.
The king liked the horse’s speed and color very much. And he began
watching the horse until it passed from that place. When he sees the
body parts of the horse, like the foot and his walking style, he cannot
keep his eyes away from the horse's beauty and walking style. The horse
has speed, good walking steps, and healthy looks. And Allah has given
rare good habits to the horse.
The king thought that due to the good features of the horse, which had a
good effect on the intelligence of the king of the time, he said, "I have
with me many of these horses, and I am self-sufficient in this matter. I
have such a sun, and its number is two hundred. I am such a rich person
that even at first glance, I will look like a good horse. And I do not
know why this horse has disturbed my intention in this matter." But in
this matter, his interest and fondness began increasing and increasing in
the chest of the king.
When the king came back from his visit, he told his soldiers to bring
that horse of the courtier into the royal stable soon without any further
delay in this matter.
The group of soldiers of the king reached the place of courtiers like an
attack of fire. That courtier had position and respect like a mountain and
was like the straw of the grass. And due to grief and disrespect, his soul
has been on his tongue in this matter. So he could not find any person
other than Emad ul Mulk, as he was the helper of each and every person
who was in trouble or difficulty. And in the royal court, there was no
other courtier more respectful than Emad ul Mulk. And the king used to
give him much respect and honor. He was a nice gentleman with a good
genealogy record and without any need or greed. He had the good
nature and pious personality of the city. He was among the night
worshippers and a famous giver of charity, like Hatim of Arabia. He
was a famous person in the kingdom. His advice was to become famous
284
 285

and give a good resolution to each and every issue and problem. He was
like a father to people in need and worry. He was acting as the king's
helper for each and every person. He was a humble person for a bad
person to cover their bad acts and deeds like Allah. His manners and
character were different from other people's. Many times he has gone
and sat on the mountain alone, and the king went there and requested
him with much humility to bring him down to the city.
In short, that courtier, in much difficulty and problem, reached Emad ul
Mulk and told him that "whether the king will take all his wealth and
property, he should leave my horse on which there is his likeness like
soul, and if it is taken by the king, surely I will die in the grief of leaving
my dear white horse in this matter. As Allah has attached me to you. So,
my helper, kindly put your hand for some time upon my head."
For this reason, Emad Ul Mulk, upon hearing the story, began weeping,
cleared his eyes, and went into the presence of the king. And by closing
his mouth, he stood there in the presence of the king’s court. And he
was praying in his heart that if the king would follow the wrong way,
then only you would help him in this matter. In this way, he was praying
in his heart, and he was worrying in this matter. And at that time, a
soldier brought the white horse of the courtier before the king. It is right
that under such a high sky, a beautiful horse was not there. His color
was liked by everybody.
Upon seeing the horse for some time, the king was surprised in this
matter, and then he looked at Emad Ul-Mulk. And he told him, "Oh,
brother Emad Ul-Mulk, what is this horse? It seems to have come from
heaven and not from earth. Then Emad Ul Mulk told him, "Oh, king, if
you pay attention, then Satan will become an angel. Even though it is a
horse, it is an animal. But his head on the body seemed not suitable in
this matter. It seems that there was a fixed head of the cow on the body
of the horse."

285
 286

There was an effect of the matter said by Emad Ul-Mulk on the king.
And suddenly the value of the horse fell out of the eyes of the king
when he heard defects and flaws from the mouth of Emad Ul Mulk. And
so, for this reason, the love of the horse decreased in the heart of the
king. So he left that eye’s likeness and saw his eye correctly in the right
direction, and he came from unconsciousness. And he has liked the
advice of Mad Ul Mulk.
There was evidence that the holy polytheist of Allah was truthful and
that his anger chilled the king's heart. And he has put such a veil on the
eye of the king that even the moon can be seen as black. The king left
his excuse. So the king has given the order to the soldiers to return the
horse to the courtier of the king in this matter. And keep him free from
the cruelty of such injustice.

8. The giving of wine by one king to the priest

One king was busy with the dance and wine party in his royal palace.
And at that time, one priest had passed from there. And the king has
given the order to bring him inside by catching him. So the people have
brought him inside the royal palace by force for the royal dance and
wine party. He came inside and sat in anger, like the poison of the
snake. When wine was given to him, he did not accept it. He has turned
down the look from the king and cup bearer of the wine.
In anger, he told the king that "He did not drink wine in his whole life.
Drinking wine is better than drinking poisonous water. So bring him
poison instead of the wine."
The king told the wine cup bear, "Oh, good and welcome, try him to
give wine at the wine party and make him formal and free. There is one
hidden ruler in the intelligence of man. So he can make the person, by
way of wisdom, out of order to him. So the wine cup bear began some
286
 287

slapping on the face of the priest, and he gave the order, if you want
your good then drink wine." Due to fear of the slapping, the priest who
was in trouble began drinking the wine immediately in the king’s party.
It happened that by drinking the wine, he became unconscious and
became fresh like a garden flower. So the king’s servants and company
people began joking with him in this matter.
In that condition, he went to the bath room for the passing of the urine
there, but at the bath room, there was one beautiful slave girl who was
working in her duty there and as when the priest saw her in a wine-
drunken condition and in unconsciousness he was out of control. And by
leaving his mysticism and piety, he began joking, horseplay, and
misbehavior with the beautiful slave girl. And for this matter, the slave
girl began making loud noises and crying in the royal bathroom.

When the king observed that there was much delay by the priest, he
himself went to the royal bath room side. The king has seen that the
priest, by leaving shame and disgrace, was misbehaving with the slave
girl.
Upon seeing this, the king was angry with the priest. Then Mullah went
from there in a hurry and in a worried condition. And he was joined
again in the wine and dance of the royal king. And he has taken the cup
of wine in his hand.
The king was angry and wanted to punish him like hell in this matter,
and due to his anger, he wanted to kill the priest (Mullah) for his bad
manners in the royal palace.
When Mullah has seen a red face, which was like a sour drink of the
wine of the royal king in anger, then Mullah has called out the wine
drinker, and he said, "Oh, warmer of the party, what you are watching
by sitting makes the king some frank in this matter."
287
 288

The king laughed, and he said, "Oh, the person I am is already in a frank
condition so you go from here. I have given you and given you that
slave girl.”

THE END.

Later life and death of Maulana Rumi

In the book of Masnavi book the great poetry book of Moulana Rumi ,
there are added many hundred stories about proverbs and tales of olden
times, stories of humor and laughter in it.In addition to other stories of
291
 292

claims in the courts of judges and proofs of claim and decrees and moral
stories and their stories aspect as well as its final results and teaching
and also in this holy book, there are added an important and remarkable
attribute in the book is that the style of explanation of the teaching and
advices in which there are mentioned the importance of morals and
phycology as well as many hundred issues of matter of Sufism and
spiritualism.
And he has mentioned in such style and description which will be
entered in the depth of the heart. But this task of translation of the
Persian stories in the Urdu book by me was not completed due to being
so much busy with my work and engagements in this matter. As well as
there was much pressure and request from friends and well-wishers in
this matter.
For a long period of time, there was thinking about translating all stories
of moral teaching into one Urdu book. So the student and general people
of our country are able to get the benefit of the favor of knowledge of
river of these moral stories were written by Moulana Rumi.
After that, there was not passed much time and during that time there
was a published book of Masnavi by Moulana Rumi by Qazi Talamaz
Hussain M.A. in new get up and he was given the title of the book
‘Marat Mathnavi’ and the pearls of advice which were found in the
original book here and there and for which he has compiled in the book
with togetherness in this matter. Upon this, as per this task there was
become easy and clear for Mirza Nizam Shah Labib to translate the
Persian book into Urdu version. He is a great scholar of Urdu language
and poet as well as a traveler of the world of Sufism and has attributes
of experience and a seasoned personality. He has done translations of
moral stories with much interest and fondness in the original language
of the Red Fort of Delhi. And at some place, he has added the taste of
proverb and sayings of Hyderabad Deccan which was his second
headquarter. And as per mentioning of the explanation of the words and
its meanings he has made translation’s color of Sufism were dark and
292
 293

depth in this matter. So for this reason the translation book has become
hard and difficult for the general readers of the book in this matter and
he has done it because there will be damage to the aim of the text of the
Masnavi in the Persian language.
And for this reason, there was no option remaining except to rewrite the
Urdu translation once again in this matter and following matters from
the books were delisted for the above reason.
1. Those stories and examples which are a purely religious type or
belongs to the faith of the Muslim community should have been deleted.
2. Some stories are rational and good in their place in this book but if
these stories are selected separately then there will be known nakedness
of the story matter known to the women and children so such stories
have been ignored in this matter.
3. Where there are arguments in deep and reasons and points lengthy
and have repeated and at this place, the short and simple way was
followed for the translation of the stores.
4. In short to keep the stories of the book in an interesting way and to
have a fondness for each and every reader and as well as in this matter
there was taken care and attention to moral instruction and the pious
teaching style of Moulana Rumi in this matter.

Preface

This is a book called "The Rumi Persian Story Book 24," which is a
very new book and will be published in 2023 in the English language.
This is a small book in which the stories from the book "The Persian
Stories of the Rumi" are added upon its translation from Urdu book, and
in this book there are some great achievements of this great sheikh of
mysticism that are not yet known to the general public. These are
published in a very interesting style, so for this reason, the readers will
find great interest and attention in this matter.
In this book, story details from the Urdu book " Hikayat Rumi part
one" are added by me upon its translation into English. And this is a
well-known and famous book that was written by Moulana Rumi in
Persian language and Mirza Nizam Shah Labib was translated this
Persian classic book in the Urdu language . And I am presenting this
book in the presence of the readers in the English version for the first
time.
From the above facts and details, if the readers start reading this book’s
first chapter and do not stop reading till they reach its last chapter, some
interesting events as well as other great miracles and endeavors of this
holy saint are added, and this holy saint passed away from the world
many centuries ago.
Even though this is a small book, due to its importance, it is so great due
to the coverage of many interesting events and positive information in it
that it is like an ocean of knowledge and information about the holy
saint who passed away from the world upon doing his great endeavours
and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation of Islam in
foreign lands. So this book is a small one, but it will present an ocean of
295
 296

knowledge and information for the guidance of people towards the right
path of Islam.
Writing about these great Sufi saints is not only difficult but also
extremely difficult, because they were not only great pious personalities
of their time in Iran and India but also great Sufi masters throughout the
world who struggled hard for the preaching and propagation of Islamic
ways centuries ago.
Rumi story books in Persian are well-known and famous books written
by Shaik Rumi. It is the enlightenment and wisdom of the treasure. This
book also revealed secrets and hinted at Sufism. And in this case, Shaik
Rumi was taken with the help of the stories.
Mirza Nizam Shah Saheb Labib has done his best translation from
Persian book in the Urdu book and has given its title ‘Hikayat Rumi’
part one to add stories on each and every subject, and he was deemed to
be completely successful in this regard. As a result, this book has
become an important part of the Light's book series. We have confirmed
our hope that you will like this book with your heart and soul and get
favor in this matter.

1. Not giving alms to any beggar upon asking by Sadar Jahan

There was well-known and admirable charity work and alms

distribution in Bukahra city by well known person Sadar Jahan. He used

35
 36

to give alms and charity to the needy persons without any limit or
counting in this matter.
Due to his favor of charity, there will be a run of alms and charity from
the morning to the evening by the distribution of Rupees and gold coins.
He will be used to finding golden coins packed in the paper before him
and till it would not finish, he used to give to the needy persons from
morning until evening. The condition of Sader Jahan was like the sun
and moon, so like the brightness of the sun and moon, he used to
distribute light to the world. The sun is the one who will distribute the
light and due to its light, gold will shine in the mine. If the treasure chest
is placed in the earth, it will become black and in bad shape.
In his court, there was a fixed turn for each and every group so that any
person or group could not be ignored in this matter. The schedule of
disbursement of alms to the poor is as follows:

One day, needy persons

Second day for widows
Third-poor and secluded persons
Fourth-day poor priests
Fifth day of general poor persons
Sixth-day persons in debt
Eight-day orphan boys
9th day prisoners
10th-day travelers
11th-day slave persons
There was one condition with him: nobody should not ask by his
tongue with Sadar Jahan about his needs. And poor people should stay
silently in the row, like the house wall. And one who will question by
36
 37

chance, and for this mistake, he will not give him anything. As such,
one old man requested him to give some Zakat (Zakat is the third
pillar of Islam and is a form of worship that involves wealth. However,
it is obligatory upon Muslims to pay a portion of his earnings once in a
lunar (Hijra) year to the poor and the needy when their earnings reach a
prescribed amount (called “Nisab” ) above their needs.) amount as he
was hungry.
As the people have prohibited by him in this matter, he should not ask
about anything with Sader Jahan, but that person was insisting in this
matter. So Sadder, Jahan told him, "Oh, old man, you are a shameless
person. But the old man told him, Oh, person, you are more shameless
than me, as you have eaten away all the world in this matter and you are
showing greed in this matter. You get the graces of the other world with
the graces of this world. So Sadder, Jahan began laughing. He has given
him much wealth and money. And the old man has taken it all by
himself from there. Except for this questioner, Sader Jahan did not give
anything to another other questioner in this matter.
Now hear that on the turn of the distribution of alms on priest day one
priest by greed and by chance. But he could not get anything that day.
He wept very much and tried in this matter, but there was no benefit to
that person. He has questioned him in different ways.
And on the next day, that person sat in the row with the patients,
covering bandages on his leg all sides in a silent way so that by seeing
him, one could find that his legs were broken. But Sadar Jahan has seen
him, recognized him, and not given him anything. On the third day, that
person came in covering full dress by becoming a blind person, and he
sat in the row of blind people. At that time, also due to his crime of
questioning, Sadar Jahan did not give him anything by recognizing him.
When he became helpless, he sat in the row of widows with a covering
cloth on his head then also sadder Jahan by recognizing him and not

37
 38

giving anything to him. And due to this matter, a fire broke out in his
heart due to grief.
He went to the shroud thief in the graveyard and asked him to cover
him in felt cloth like dead person and put him at the side of the road.
And did not say anything to any person in this matter. You sit there,
watching the way side until such time that Sadar Jahan will pass by this
way. It is possible that he will see me and put some golden coins in the
coffin box for final rites. Whatever I get, I will give half the money to
you.The thief of the shroud has done the same as per the request of the
old priest.
When Sader Jahan has passed on the way as per his practice and he has
put some gold coins on the felt, the Mullah has taken out his hands from
his shourd so that the shroud thief may not take all the gold coins and
run away from there. So the dead person has taken his hands from the
felt coth and also taken out his head. And he addressed Sader Jahan,
"Oh, Closoure of the Door of Mercy, have you seen that I have at last
taken money from your side? And Sadder Jahan told him, "Oh cursed
person, till you did not die, you were not able to take any thing from our
estate in this matter.

2. The seeing of treasure in Egypt by one person in his dream and

his travel to Egypt

One person got huge wealth and money in his inheritance, but he has
spent away all his wealth and properties and is left as a naked person in
this matter. It is true that the wealth and properties of the inheritance
will not be left for a longer time. As it was separated from others, in the
same way it will be left in this matter by another person. Oh, person,
you have no value in your life at all. As Allah has given you free of
38
 39

charge. In short, that person’s cash and kind, as well as all his wealth
and properties, were left by his spending by that person.He began living
in the lonely place like an owl.
He has requested in the court of Allah that you make me helpless
without all that stuff. And each and every thing was left from him in this
matter. So provide me with the goods of life for this reason, or send me
to death.
In prayer and weeping, he has beaten his hands. This lover of wealth
wants wealth and money without any work or endeavor. There is no one
who dares to knock on the door of Allah in this matter. And by Allah’s
grant, he did not get a hundred breaths of good weather. He saw in his
dream that one angel told him that he would get wealth and money in
Egypt. And if you go there, then your wishes and desires will be
fulfilled. And Allah has accepted your loud cry. In such and such a
village, there is a treasure trove in Egypt. You will have to go in search
of treasure there. In such and such a village and in such and such a
locality, there is one rare treasure that is hidden in the earth. So you go
to Egypt by way of Baghadad immediately and find the treasure for
yourself there.
The person, upon hearing the good news, became happy and alert. There
was hope that was created in his heart upon seeing the address of the
treasure given to him in the country of Egypt. That person, by passing
the stages of the journey, reached his destination in Egypt soon. But by
reaching there, he has spent all his cash, which was with him. His cruel
stomach has forced him to ask for food and money from the people in
Egypt in his helpless condition. Even though he was ashamed in this
matter, he has become unconscious due to hunger. So he has told it in
his heart to go out by hiding and asking something from people at night.
So that there may be no shame in begging in the darkness of the night.
So that he can shout and cry like beggars and get pennies and food from
the upper stories of the buildings.
39
 40

In this thinking, he left his place with hesitation, hiding from all sides,
and he was feeling ashamed in this matter, as well as thinking about his
previous circumstances in life in which he did not face a situation to ask
something from people like the beggars. But his condition of hunger
forced him to step forward and go on the way of begging from the
people for this reason. And there was such a condition for one part of
the night, and he will put his foot ahead and take it back in this matter.
And he will ask his heart whether to ask from the people or not, and he
will sleep hungry.
By chance, the people of the city were worried about the thefts and
facing much difficulty. In the dark nights, the commissioner of police
was searching the city for thieves. As such, the caliphate of the city gave
him the order to arrest the people who would wander on the ways and
roads, and there would not be a liency even to his relatives, and to cut
his hands.
The city of the people has taunted the commissioner of police about
how, under your rule, the number of thieves increased.
hour? The police commissioner was upset for this reason as well as in
an angry mood in this matter. So when he has seen that person
wandering here and there in a hiding way. So he caught him and beat
him very much. And he has asked him, Who are you? So that fakir
traveler, in pain, began weeping in a loud voice in this matter. He told
him not to beat for the sake of Allah, and I will tell you my whole real
story. Then the commissioner told himshouldYou to tell your whole
story. And why have you left your atuse in such a late night? It is seen
that you are not a resident of this city and have come from other longer-
distance places for the work theft in the city.
That person, by all kinds of swearing, told him that he was not a thief,
pocket player, robber, bandit, or killer. I came to this city as a traveler.
And I am a resident of Baghdad. Then he told him about his dream and
story of treasure details, and the commissar of police accepted that he
40
 41

was telling the right story in this matter. And he was able to smell the
truth in this matter about his treasure story.
The commissioner of police told him that there is no doubt that you are
not a thief or killer. But upon only thinking of the dream for the greed of
the treasure by mistake, you have covered the distance of the long
journey and kindly advised him: "I can see that you’re not a thief or a
criminal, but you’re not very intelligent, are you? How could you come
all this way just because of a dream you had?"
Now hear that you have seen the treasure of Egypt in Baghdad. I have
also seen dreams in Egypt about the treasure of Baghdad many times.
And in the dream, I was able to know the complete address of the
treasure, with details of the village, hiding place, locality name, and
house name, and the name of the house was given upon the treasure
trove name. Even it was told which part of the house treasury is hidden.
Oh, my dear, I told my heart that the treasure is in my house itself, so
there is no need or helpless condition to go to Baghdad. I am sitting on a
treasure of my own. And I am dying for the sake of being helpless in
this matter. I am careless about my treasure. And I am hiding myself in
this matter.
Upon knowing this good news, the traveler became happy in this matter.
And for this reason, he became unconscious. And all his pain was no
more with him. And he told his heart that getting grace depended upon
getting many kicks and beatings. In your shop, you are present like
nector himself. Then he told the police commissioner that "He has found
a strange wealth with him and by it, I was able to know that all the
thinking he has with him is blindness to superstition and due to which I
was thinking about my poverty. And you say me an unwise person or a
wise person, but what I needed in my heart was to find the thing in
Egypt.

41
 42

Then he returned to Baghdad from Egypt by way of prostration,

bending, and recitation of praise and the thank of Allah in this matter.
On the way, he was in a state of surprise and astonishment, from which
he was unconscious. And he began to say to himself, what was his way
of expressing his demand, but what the way has he got sustenance in
this matter?
Where he was made his direction for his needs but from where he has
gotten his grace and reward in this matter
What was the wisdom in this matter that the mine of desire put
happiness on the wrong way of desiring from home? I was running fast
on the wrong path of misguidance in this matter. And on each and every
time I was going away from my real destination. So then for this
misguidance Allah made for me due to his grace as a source of guidance
and reaching to the final destination.

3. Old man's complaint to doctor

An old man has complained to the doctor about his mental memory
loss. The doctor told him it was due to his old age. Then he told him that
there was no clarity in his eyes. The doctor told him that this was also
due to his increasing age. Then he told that he was having back pain.
The doctor told him that this was also due to his increasing age. Then he
complained to the doctor that he had stomach problems. The doctor told
him that this was also due to the problem of his increasing age. Then the
old man told the doctor that there was a problem with the respiratory
system, and it was not well.
The doctor told him that when old age comes the man will have 100
diseases. By the time he had problems with his respiratory system, they
told him that his leg was in pain and had become useless, so he couldn't
42
 43

walk properly. The doctor said to him, "O old man, old age has made
you sit in solitude." The old man told him that he had a "backache." The
doctor told him, "This is because of his age." Upset by this, the old man
said to the doctor, "You fool, you are only repeating one phrase." Is this
all you have in your study of medicine on this matter, oh, foolish man!
Allah has created a cure for every disease. You are like a foolish
donkey, and because of your lack of knowledge you remained lying on
the earth, sleeping on the ground.” The doctor said to him, "Hey old
man. This anger is also due to your age. When all the organs of your
body become weak and due to this you no longer have the power of
patience and restraint in all the organs of your body, and if someone if I
don't have the strength to be patient, he will make a big fuss about it and
shout. And who can't drink a sip of water? And then vomit.
But the old man who is a lover of reality and who has a pure life. And
such a person may be old in appearance, but deep inside he will remain
a child in this matter. How will the Messenger of Allah and the holy
people of Allah be?. They should be like this.

5.The taking of Qazi by deceiving the joker’s wife to her house

One joker, upon seeing his poverty, told his wife, "When you have your
weapons, go on hunting so that I can utilize the hunting and drink milk
as per requirement. At last, his wife visited Qazi’s house with a
complaint from his husband that she was upset with his bad nature. The
Qazi told her that “At this time there is much work in his department. So
there is no time to hear your complaint in this matter. If you come to my
house, then I will hear your complaint well. If justice is on your side,

43
 44

then I will punish your husband in the best way. So you will not be sad.
When I know your condition well, I will make your husband soft.”
The woman told Qazi that “At your house there will be good and bad
people who will come there with their complaints. If you do not mind,
then come to my house at some time.” And there is no limit to the deceit
of the woman. Qazi has a desire for her love. And he has reached the
joker’s house in the evening. The woman has lit two candles in the
house.
The woman has started a pleasant conversation and due to this favor, the
Qazi was greatly affected. The house was empty. He was sitting in a
happy state beside the woman. And due to her nearness, his soul was in
a happy condition.
At the same time, the joker knocked on the door. And Qazi was very
worried about this matter. So that he can run away from there. But the
woman, by folding her hands, has requested that Qazi stay in the house
because when the unfortunate and greedy joker sees you going from the
house, he will kill her in this matter. And he will insult you severally.
There was no place for hiding in the house and in a helpless condition
due to the worry of the woman, Qazi, hidden in the box in the house.
The joker came into the house and said, “Oh, cunning woman, you have
become a problem to me and in my life in both the spring and winter
seasons. I have all such things that I have sacrificed for you, but in spite
of that, you complain about having collected sins in this matter. One
person told me that you went to the Qazi’s office and lodged false
complaints about me. For an innocent person, you have exceeded a large
number of objections. Some people told me I was poor, while others
called me a liar. And if these defects are there with me, then they are
from the side of Allah. And defect complaint from your side. Except for
this box, I do not have anything with me. But people know that I am a
rich person and for this thinking so they must get loan the amount given
to me by them. Even though this box is nice in appearance, But there is
44
 45

no goods in gold and silver. So tomorrow I will take this box to the
bazaar and fire it out at the crossroads so that Muslim, Christian, and
Jewish people can see that in this box, except for the curse, nothing is
inside of it. The woman told her husband not to do such work. This is
mad work. The joker swore that he would do the work without a doubt.
He brought one rope and tied the box. And then he became ignorant.
In the early morning, he brought one laborer into his house and
immediately loaded the box on his back, which was taken to the bazaar
for sale there.
The Qazi, due to difficulty and pain, has called for labor from inside the
box. The laborer has seen all sides to check from which side the call is
coming. He thought it may be some angel or fairy who is calling him by
hiding. When he heard this voice of difficulty and pain many times, he
was able to understand that somebody was calling him from inside the
box. And he was able to understand that somebody was hidden in the
box. There are further details of the event.
The Qazi said, "Oh, the box-carrying person should immediately inform
the court of the justice and call my assistant so that he can purchase this
box by paying gold coins. And carry this box, as it is, to my house. The
laborer told one way farer to inform assistance Qazi in the court of
justice that Qazi’s sedan chair was going to be sold in the bazaar. And I
asked him to come immediately by leaving all of his works and
purchases from the joker the closed box. The wayfarer went there and
gave a message.
On the other side, the joker lit the fire in the bazaar and said that he
would fire out the box. There was a loud cry in the bazaar due to this
event, and every person wanted to know details in this matter. Among
the people there was much passion and they wanted to know why and
what reason there was loud and crying by the joker in the bazaar.

45
 46

The assistant, Qazi, came and asked for the price of the box. The joker
told him that the asking price is more than 900 gold coins and my last
price is 1000 gold coins, and I will not sell less of this offer. If you
accept an open money bag. The assistant told him, "You should have
shame for this, and who will purchase it by knowing for such a huge
amount? And accept the price. The joker said that without seeing it, it
was not legal. My sale is not hidden in the cover, and I will show you by
opening the box. And if you do not like it, do not purchase it. So that
there will be no regret upon its purchase. The assistant told him to leave
it; I would purchase it without seeing it. And you agree with my
condition. There was a bargain over the price of gold coins, but the
assistant Qazi paid for the 1000 coins and took the box from the bazaar.
After one year, the joker has become poor again. And he told his wife,
“Oh clever woman, try again for the last trick. And make a complaint
about me in the court of the judge in this matter”. This time, that woman
went to the judge office along with some other women. She addressed
the Qazi at the bad side of one woman so that he could recognize her
voice there and also that he could not remember the problem in the box.
There will be a problem of blandishment of the woman, and this
problem will be increased more than 100 times due to her voice in this
matter. If there is no voice from the woman, then there will be hidden
blandishment, as well as no effect from it.
The judge told the woman to bring her husband so that he could hear
your complaint in his presence. Then the joker came into the office, and
he was able to recognize his voice, as he had already heard his voice
from the inside of the wooden box. He has heard conversations about
the price of the box in the bazaar.
The Qazi asked why you are paying maintenance allowance for his
family to the woman. The joker told him that he was a slave to the
Islamic law of jurisprudence. And like more than his soul. If I die, there
is no money for the shroud charges due to the play trick of this woman.
46
 47

And from this conversation, Qazi was able to recognize him well, and
he remembered his fraud and deceit, and he told him that you had
already played a trick on me before. Now go someplace and trap the
other person.

The End.
