Sawal: Chaudhary Sahib! Aap apna khandaani tarauf karain? Jawab: Main 6 December 1951 mein Phalt ke padosi gaon ke ek Jatt gharaane mein paida hua. Mere walid ek zameen daar thay, Angrezi zamane ke intermediate bhi thay. Woh ek primary school mein headmaster thay. 101 saal ki umr hui, jis school mein Bharat ke pradhan mantri Lal Bahadur Shastri hamare ilaqe mein padhate thay mere pita ji, uss school ke headmaster thay. Issi school mein maine primary aur phir junior high school (Aathvein class) pass kiya, uss ke baad SS College Khatoli mein high school aur intermediate kiya. Khandaani mahol iss tarah ka raha ke sports aur body building ka shoq raha, intermediate tak dangal mein kushti bhi larta raha, bohot si kushtiyan jeeti. UP Bihar ke dangalon mein naam kamaya. Bachpan se niddar aur bahaduri ka mizaaj bana tha. Walid sahib ghareebon aur kamzoron ka had darja khayal rakhte thay. Kitne ghareeb bachon ki fees waghera khud ada karte thay, kisi mushkil mein phanse logon ka saath dete. Hum sab bhaiyon ko yeh baat virasat mein mili, iss jazbe ka wajah se baaz mazloomon ki madad mein baaz qaatilon aur badmashon se dushmani hogayi aur muqablay ke liye taqat ki zaroorat mein ghalat logon ko saath jorna pada aur phir iss ghalat sangat ne apni taraf khinch liya, phir isi line ka ho raha. Iss ke liye poore zila mein mashhoor hogaya aur na jane kitne logon mein naam ka khauf sa beth gaya. Aksar police walay tak darne lage. Ahmed bhai yeh haalat thi ke Khatoli mein thane ke samne se guzarta to police walay ya kotal bhi darwazay par khada hota to andar chalajata ke koi pangana banade. Mujhe bhi kuch zaam sa hogaya tha, log aise mein mere naam se lalaoon, se tajiroon se paisay wasool karne lage, log naam sun kar de dete. Mere Allah ka mujh par karam raha ke iss ghalat raah par bhi hamesha mazloomon aur be sahara logon ke saath jeena mera mizaaj rahe, iss ki wajah se property dealing ka kaam kiya, jo bohot acha chala. Kayi shehron mein apne naam se colonies banayin jo bohot jald abad hogayin. Ghareebon aur mazloomon ki madad iss duniya mein mere kaam aayi, mera karobar din dugni raat chugni taraqqi karta raha aur 26 December 1992 ko Allah ne mujhe hidayat naseeb farmai. Sawal: Apne qubool-e-Islam ke bare mein batayiye? Jawab: Kisi mazloom ki madad karna mere kaam aya aur mere Allah ko mujh badmashon ke sardar par tars aagaya. Asal mein mujhe ghussa bohot aata tha aur kabhi kabhi ghussa itna barh jata tha ke mere badan mein aag si lagne lagti. Ek baar doctor ko check karaya, to blood pressure bohot barha hua tha, musalsal marz barhta raha, poore badan mein dard rehne laga, iss ke liye injections lagwane pare. Injections lagwate lagwate aadat hogayi aur mujhe addiction hogaya. Ek roz mein char fort one ke injections do do milakar subah aur sham lagwane padte. Ek roz din chhupne ke baad mein ek doctor ki clinic par injections lagwane ke liye gaya. Clinic telephone exchange ke paas thi, aap ke walid Maulana Kaleem Sahib ko jab kabhi phone karna hota to doctor sahib ke phone se call back karake phone karte thay, direct phone dial karne ka nizam Khatoli mein nahi tha aur Phalt mein to phone ki sahulat bhi nahi thi. Woh doctor sahib ki clinic par baithte thay, mein ne doctor sahib ko injection diye. Unhon ne dono milakar mere haath ki nas mein laga diye. Maulana Sahib ko fort one injection ki khasiyat maloom thi ke aam aadmi ke ek injection lagaya jaye to das ghante be hosh hojaye. Mein do injections lagwakar baatein kar raha tha, Maulana Sahib herat mein par gaye aur mujhe dekh kar had darja pareshan bhi hoye. Goya injections mere nahi un ke hi lage hoye, mujhse bole Chaudhary Sahib aap apni zindagi par zulm kar rahe hain, aap yeh injections kyun lagwate hain? Mein ne kaha mere poore badan mein dard haiWoh tau hai aur be had ghussa aata hai, is ke liye mujhe subah o shaam do do injection lagwane padte hain. Maulana sahib be taab ho gaye, rozana chaar fort van, phir to aap din mein dobara khudkushi karte hain, aap ne doosri tarah ilaaj nahi karwaya, aap yeh injection chhod dijiye. Maulana sahib ne kaha ke aap ko ghussa kyun aata hai? Main ne kaha ke jab taqatwar apne maal aur taqat ke nashay mein kisi kamzor mazloom ko satata hai to dil chahta hai ke ya to us ki jaan le loon ya apni jaan de doon, is mein hazaaron muqadme mujh par chal rahe hain. Main ne kaha kei baar mahinay mahinay tak education khatam karne ke liye hospitals mein raha, kitne hakeemon ko dikhaya, lakhon lakh, balkay agar main yeh kahoon ke das lakh rupaye mein ilaaj par kharch kar chuka hoon to yeh jhoot nahi hoga. Maulana sahib ne mujh se poocha, aap kahan rehte hain? Main ne kaha, Maulana sahib aap shayad Phalt ke hain, unho ne kaha haan, aap ne kaise pehchana, main ne kaha ke Phalt ke raaste mein main ne kuch zameen khareedi thi wahan aap ko aate jaate dekha tha. Main aap ka padosi hoon shayad aap ne mera naam suna ho, Maulana sahib ne naam sun kar kaha achha aap hain jin ka akhbaron mein naam bhi aata tha, main ne kaha keh woh ot naalayq mein hi hoon. Maulana sahib ne kaha: aap ne bohot ilaaj kar liya ab aap ek mahine hamein dijiye, aap wahan ghar aaiye, araam se rahiye, khana peena aur ilaaj sab mere zimme hoga, aap ka koi paisa kharch nahi hoga. Bas aap mere saath rahenge, malik ke karam se umeed hai ke aap ek mahine mein inn injectionon se chhutkara pa jaenge. Maulana sahib ne zor diya ke mujh se wada keejiye, aap kab Phalt aayenge? Main ne kaha Maulana sahib aap ki mohabbat ka bohot abhari hoon, main bhi apni haalat se bohot pareshan hoon, zara kuch muqadme ki tareekhon se chhutti mil jaaye, to main aap ki baat zaroor maanunga. Maulana sahib se ijazat le kar main ghar aaya, saari raat Maulana sahib ki hamdardi aur mohabbat ki wajah se Maulana ka bay taab chehra meri aankhon ke samne ghoomta raha, ek do baar aankh bhi lagi to khwab mein dekha Maulana sahib samne ro rahe hain. Chaudhary sahib aap apne jeewan par tars khaiye, aankh khul jaati main sochta bhagwan aap ka kaisa sansaar hai, kuch log doosron ki gardan kaat kar apna aaloo seedha karte hain, kuch log aise bhi hain jo doosron ke dard mein aise be taab ho jaate hain. Be chaini mein raat guzri, subah savere bistar chhod diya, warzish waghera ki, kothi par laan mein phalwaari ko paani dene ke liye pipe uthaya paani de raha tha ke darwaze par ghanti baji, Hafiz Idrees sahib samne the, main ne darwaza khola, aaiye Maulana sahib aaiye, Hafiz sahib ne bataya ke main Phalt se aaya hoon, ek khat, ek chhoti si Hindi kitaab un ke haath mein thi. Main ne kaha Phalt woh devtaon ka Phalt wahan ki ek mahan aatma se meri doctor ke yahan khatooli mein mulaqat hui thi. Saari raat un ke prem ne mujhe be chain rakha, Hafiz sahib ne bataya main unhi ke paas se ek prem patr (mohabbat nama) le kar aap ke paas aa ya hoon, aap ki mohabbat mein woh bhi saari raat nahi soyee. Woh khat Hafiz sahib ne mujhe diya. Mera bhatija bhi mere saath doosre pipe se paani dalwa raha tha, main ne us ko bulaya, aa bete dekh ek devta ka prem patr aaya hai, main ne khat le kar mathe se mohabbat aur adab mein laga ya, us ko nikaal kar parha (khat nikaalte hue) yeh khat hai Maulana Ahmed, us ko us waqt se main apne pers mein rakhta hoon leminishan kar liya hai, khat yeh tha: "Mere bohot bohot pyare bhai, Chaudhary ji! Is par salaam ho jo sachi raah chale, aap se doctor sahib ki clinic par mulaqat karke main chala to aya magar mera nanha sa dil aap mein atak kar raha gaya, raat ko aap ki haalat aankhon ke samne rahi, aap ke lagnay wale injectionon ke natije mein kisi bhi waqt mandlati maut apni maut ki tarah mujhe be chain karti rahi yeh jeewan to apne waqt par khatam hona hai, mujhe Quran ne khabar di hai ke maut na ek lamha pehle aaskti hai aur na ek pal tol sakti hai, magar is jeewan ke baad ek hamesha ka jeewan jis mein ya to sooraj ka sukhi hai, ya nark ka dukh hi dukh, nark ka ek dukh aur ek pal ki saza.Pore jeewan ke aag mein jalne se zyada hai, kaanon se suni khabar, ankhon se dekhi baat jhooti hosakti hai, magar mere bohot pyare bhai Aishor ke sache sandisht Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) aur uske laye hue poter (maqdas) Quran ki baat mein zara shak nahi ke agar aap imaan ke baghair mar gaye aur musalman nahi hue toh hamesha ki nark ki saza bhugatni padegi, is liye mere bhai apne pyar karne wale bhai par tars khakar apne jeewan par tars khao aur imaan qubool karke musalman ban jao, sache dil se kaho: Ash-hadu alla ilaha illallah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh. Tarjuma: Mein gawahi deta hoon ke Allah ke siwa koi pooja ke laiq nahi aur Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) Allah ke bande aur intem sache sandishta hain, mere bhai agar aapne poter maqdas Quran jo (intem sun widhan) aakhri khudaai manshoor hai, ka palan karne ka halef is kalma ko parh kar na diya, to phir nark ki aag mein jalna hoga mere pyare bhai zara socho wahan se wapsi bhi mumkin nahi aur phir afsos ke siwa kuch nahi kar sako ge. Mere bhai aap ko kya maloom raat meri kis tarah kati, raat ko ek baje bechain hokar mein ne bistar chhoda, phir apne maalik ke samne sar rakh kar aap ke liye dua karta raha, mere maalik woh mazloomon aur kamzoron par zulm bardasht karne wala aur is ghussa mein apni zindagi ko khatre mein daalne wala aap ki hidayat aur diya (rehem) ka kitna mustahiq hai, mujhe ummeed hai ke woh maalik is gande magar dukhiyare ki dua ko zaroor sunenge ga, balkay mujhe to aisa lagta hai ke us ne sun liya hai, bas aap mujhe apne musalman hone ki khush khabri de dijiye takay aap ka yeh piya rukar ne wala bhai kuch chain pa sake, mein jis intem sandishta (aakhri rasool) ke laye hue kalma ki taraf aap ko bula raha hoon, us ke jeewan par aadhart (seerat par mushtamil) ek pamphlet aap ko bhej raha hoon, Allah kare mere dil ki baat aap tak pahunchay aur woh Allah hamein aur aap ko hidayat par rakhe aur usi par hamari aur aap ki maut aaye. Wassalam aap ka bohot muhabbat karne wala bhai Muhammad Kaleem 13th December 1997. Sawal: Is ke baad kya hua? Jawab: Mein ne is khat ko zor zor se apne bhatije ko parh kar sunaya, is khat mein be louth mohabbat se mere jism ka rawan rawan khara hota raha aur is mohabbat ke samne mein ek be bas ghulam ki tarah molana sahab ke samne apne ko ghira pata tha, mera dil chahta tha ke mein foran jakar molana sahab se galey milun un ka shukriya ada karun aur un ki khwahish poori karun magar ek bohot ahem maqamay ki tareekh thi, gawahon se bhi baat karni thi, wakeel se bhi milna tha, is liye mein ne Hafiz sahab se kaha: Mein raat ko, ya phir kal ko, molana sahab se milun ga. Is roz mein Mazaffar Nagar se der se aya, raat ko der se sone ki wajah se subah das baje aankh khuli, gyarah baje phalt pahuncha to molana sahab safar par chale gaye the, is ke baad aath nau bar phalt gaya, mere Allah bhi shayad meri mohabbat ka imtehan le rahe the, molana sahab se mila qat na ho saki. 23rd December ko molana sahab ka ek safar buland sheher ka tha to unhon ne khatoli se Hafiz Idrees ko bheja ke aaj shaam ko hum wapas aa jayenge aap aakar mil lein, is roz bhi meri teen maqamoon ki tareekhein thi mein der se ghar pahuncha aur raat ko das baje sardi mein belt motor cycle par apne bhatije ke saath phalt pahuncha, molana sahab bistar se nikal kar aaye bahar baith kar jo ab khanqah kehlane lagi hai balkay alhamdulillah khanqah ban gayi hai, mulaqat hui, molana sahab ne kaha aap ne kalma parh liya ke nahi, mein ne molana sahab se akelay mein milne ki darkhwast ki, molana sahab mujhe ghar ke andar wale kamre mein le gaye, mein ne kaha aap ke prem (mohabbat) ne mujhe ghulam banAliya hai, aap bechein ya azad karein, pehle to mein maafi chahta hoon ke itne dino ke baad mila, magar mein gyarah baar pehle hazir hua, aap se mulaqat nah hoski. Mere musalman hone ke do tareeqe ho sakte hain, ek to yeh ke mujhe sab ke samne kalma padhaiye aur yahan masjid mein azaan waghera dene par laga dijiye, yeh bhi khushi se manzoor hai, doosra tareeqa yeh hai ke meri do biwiyan hain aur un ke bachay hain, mein kalma padh loon, apne muqadmon waghera se nikal aaoon aur ghar ke logon ko tayar karo aur phir kuch dino ke baad khul kar ilaan karo, aap jo chahenge waisa hi hoga. Aap ko shayad maaloom nahi ke mein zila Shewa Sina ka zimmedar bhi tha, 13 December ko aap ke khat ke baad mein ne sham ko hi istefa diya ke ab Maulana ke peechay rah kar jeewan guzarna hai. Maulana sahib ne kaha pehle kalma padh kar mera dil to thanda kijye, mein ne kaha padhaiye. Waise mein ne sachay dil se aap ke khat mein kalma padh liya tha aur apna naam bhi Abdullah apne man mein rakh liya hai, ab dobara mujhe padhwa dijiye. Maulana sahib ne kaha ke imaan ko to baar baar taaza karte rehna chahiye, mujhe kalma padhwaya aur kaha ke Abdullah bohat acha naam hai, hamare Nabi (S.A.W) ne farmaya hai ke Abdullah aur Abdul Rahman naam Allah ko bohat pasand hain. Sawal: Is ke baad kya hua? Jawab: Maulana sahib ne mujhe mauqa laga kar namaz waghera seekhne aur ghar walon par kaam karne ke liye kaha, alhamdulillah do mahine mein meri chhoti ahlia aur us ke chaaroon bachay musalman ho gaye. Muqadmon se mein bohat pareshan tha, Maulana sahib ne kaha ke jis muqadme mein jaayein do rakaat Salat al-Tawbah aur Salat al-Hajat padh kar jaayein jab Allah Tawbah qabool kar lete hain to farishton se bhi bhuladete hain aur nama-e-aamal se bhi mita dete hain, mein ne yeh nuskha istemal kiya, Allah ka shukr hai sare muqadmon se Allah ne mujhe buri kar diya. Bas do muqadme baqi hain. Sawal: Aap ke injections ka kya raha? Jawab: Mere Islam qubool karne ke baad Ramazan aaya, Maulana ne mujhe bulaya aur kaha Allah ne insaan ko badi quwwat arzi ata ki hai, aadmi pukhta irada karle to paharon mein doodh ki nadi khod sakta hai, yeh injections ek nasha hai aur nasha Islam mein haram hai, aap gunah samajh kar sachay dil se tauba kijiye, Ramazan ke poore roze rakhiye, akhir mein i'tikaf mein kuch waqt hamare saath guzariye. Mein ne himmat ki aur roz Salat al-Tawbah padh kar irada aur azam karta, dard ki wajah se haath pair de deta, magar apne se kehta har gaz haram nahi karunga, yeh jaan chali jaaye to chali jaaye. Akhir ashra aaya to mein baaz muqadmon ki wajah se phalat na aska, Hazrat ne Hafiz Idris ko bheja, mein phalat aaya jame masjid mein teen roz guzare, phalat ke logon ne, suna hai ke, Hazrat par bohat ehteraz bhi kiya ke is badmaash aur daaku ko masjid mein bulaaya, mere dil mein bohat si shikayatein aur ehterazaat the woh bhi Allah ne Hazrat se kehne ka mauqa diya aur woh sab hal ho gaye aur alhamdulillah Fort Wayne ke azab se mujhe nijaat mili. Ahmad bhai! Ajeeb baat hai ke Maulana sahib se mulaqat ke ek mahine mein woh Fort Wayne jo bees saal se nahi chhoti thi, ab mujh se chhoti gayi. Sawal: Aap Shewa Sina jaisi jamaat ke zila ke zimmedar the, aap ko Islam mein aakar ajnabiyat si nahi lagi? Jawab: Nahi bhai Ahmad bilkul nahi, mujhe aisa laga ke mein baayi nature fitratan musalman hi tha, Islam ki har baat meri intar aatma (andar ki roohani pukar) lagti thi. Sawal: AapKi dosri biwi ka kiya hua? Jawab: Woh abhi tak musalman nahi hui, maine unko chhod diya hai unka hissa unko de diya hai. Ek beta beti unke mere saath Delhi mein rehte hain, maine Maulana sahab ke mashwara se Delhi mein kothi le kar rehaish ikhtiyar kar li hai. Yeh faisla mere liye sukoon ka zariya bana aur Islam ka ilaan karne mein mujhe badi sahulat ka zariya bana. Sawal: Aapko abbu ne dawat par nahi lagaya? Jawab: Aisa kaise ho sakta hai, Allah ka shukar hai ke main, jo kuch karta hoon, deen ke liye karne ki koshish karta hoon, mere bhai ek high school chalate thay wahan par aksar musalmanon ke bachay padhte thay, khatoli mein ek musalman junior high school chalta tha, uske zimmedar ek haji sahab bohot jazba ke aadmi thay. Headmaster se kuch baat hone ki wajah se wahan par teen deeniyaat ke ustaadon ne wahan do mahine tak ek bhi sabak nahi padhaya, haji sahab ne maamla ki jaanch ke bajaye yeh faisla kiya ke main madrasa nahi rakhta, bas school chalaoonga itne hafiz aur maulviyon ko alag kar diya, ittefaq se ek roz apne bhai ke school mein chhutti ke waqt kuch musalman bachon se maine kalma sunane ko kaha, to unhein kalma yaad nahi tha, mujhe bohot dukh hua. Main ne apne bhai se kaha, aapka school musalman mohalla mein hai agar aap yahan Quran aur Urdu shuru kardain to tadad barh jayegi inki samajh mein aagaya. Main ne Maulana sahab se ustaad dene ke liye kaha, Maulana sahab ne un teeno ustaadon ko bulaya jo musalman school se nikale gaye thay aur Allah ka shukar hai ke aaj tak paanchvi chhuti saatvi class mein Quran Majeed aur deeniyaat ki taleem kisi madrasa ki tarah ho rahi hai aur alhamdulillah mere bhai bhi musalman ho gaye hain, unka naam maine Abdul Rahman rakha hai, Maulana sahab is qissa ko aksar sunate hain ke Allah taala is tarah tabdeeli ka nazm karte hain. Sawal: Qareen Armaan ke liye kuch paigham aap denge? Jawab: Kisi ke zahir aur halat ko mukhalif samajh kar yeh samajhna ke yeh halat aur yeh shakhs Islam dushman hai bilkul galat hai. Zahir taroor par Sheo Sina ka zila zimmedar kitne galat kaamon sinkron moqadmon mein mubtila mujh jaisa oot aadmi, Islam ke mukhalif halat mere liye Babri Masjid ki shahadat ke baad had darja nafrat zada thay. Ek mazay ki aur baat bataun ke hamare khandan ka ek ladka rishta ka mera bhai Doctor sahab ka ladka musalman ho kar Abdul Rahman ban kar ghar chhod kar phelte rehne laga tha. Meri bhabhi bohot roti thi jab woh yaad karke roti to mujhe bohot tars aata tha aur kayi baar dil mein khayal aaya: is hazrat ji ka aur khatma kar aoun jahan itne muqadme hain ek muqadma aur sahi. Magar Ahmad bhai sach kehta hoon jab Islam ko maine paya to mujhe bilkul yeh mehsoos hua yeh mere andar ki maya thi aur isi fitrat par mujhe paida kiya gaya tha. Babri Masjid ki shahadat ke baad kisi Sheo Sina ke zimmedar ka musalman hona kaisa ajeeb lagta hai, magar mujhe bilkul ajeeb nahi laga, nah mujhe laga ke koi anhoni faisla hua, bas yeh baat hai ke mohabbat se kehne wala koi na mila aur hamare desh ki kamzori hamare hazrat ke baqol josh mohabbat hai. Har hathiyar aur har hamle ka muqabla yeh qaum kar sakti hai, magar mohabbat ki dhaar uske dil mein foran utar jaati hai. Mujhe Maulana sahab ki mohabbat ne aisa ghulam banaya ke rawan rawan ab tak giraftar hai, sirf mohabbat aur be luth hamdardi ne mujh jaise sakht insaan ko shikar kiya. Nah maine koi chamatkari dekha nah koi doosri baat hui, sirf aur sirf be luth mohabbat aur hamdardi meri hidayat ka zariya bani. Phoolat ka ek nayi jamaalAl-deen jo khatoli dukaan karta hai, paanch saal pehle saade das baje usne mujhe bataya ke Chaudhry sahib aap yahan phir rahe hain, Maulana sahib ek hafte se bistar par pare hain, Ahmed bhai bas meri jaan nikal gayi apne ko thaama aur ghar gaya gaadi li aur poney bara baje rota hua phalat pahuncha, Maulana sahib ittefaq se Mumbai ke kuch mehmaanon ke saath baithe baatein kar rahe the aur muskuraye thay, jakar chumt gaya aur khushi se siskiyon se rota hua bola ke mujhe Jamal al-deen ne dara diya tha, ke aap bistar par bimar pare hain. Saare raasta dua karta aaya, mere Allah mere jeewan ki ghadiyan bas mere Maulana ko lag jayein, aap ko theek dekh kar jaan mein jaan aayi, ab bhi dua karta hoon ke zindagi ki baqi ghadiyan bas Maulana sahib ko lag jayein kuch kaam aajayen gi. Maulana sahib ne bataya ke Punjab ka ek hafte ka safar luon (garam hawaoon) mein hua, garmi mein rehne ki wajah se gurde mein dard hogaya tha aaj subah pathri nikal gayi. Hamare hazrat sach kehte hain, yeh Hindustan ke log bas mareez hain, inki dushmaniyan, saazishiyan bas bimari ki cheekh aur pukaar hai, inki sab bimariyon ka ilaj mohabbat aur jurat hai, Armaan ke qariyon se bas meri yeh darkhwast hai ke unko woh hareef nah samjhein balke mareez samjhein aur mohabbat ki boli unke marz ka ilaj hai aur mere liye husn khatima ki dua karein.
