[the reknowned scholar on whose blessed hand, almost half a million people have embraced

Islam and his famous book in Urdu’ Naseem-e-Hidayat ke jhonkay’ is a must read.]

After prayer of Ishraq, I intended for the Tawwaf in the Kaaba as it was not much rush there. After that I had plan to meet one of the renowned and well recognized scholar. When I went to meet him, I came to know that he has left for madina. At that place, I saw one majzoob of dark complexion, sitting at the main gate. He was wearing dirty clothes. When I enquired about him it was revealed that he is very unique person who came to kingdom of Saudi Arabia from India without any passport. He travelled to kingdom of Saudi Arabia by foot in his youth and since then he is living in one room which was cramped that he could not expand his legs. Police caught him occasionally but leave him by considering him mad. He make people drink the water of zamzam and serve people in various ways. He load the bag of zamzam water on his shoulders and give to people, in return people give him some money as well. He has three pockets, people give him money for three reasons, some give him in return of water, some give him for his begger look, some give as gift for his pious perception. He place that money in three different pockets. He used to spend this money on deserving scholars and poor people. He used to give this money to people who come to KSA for pilgrims and Hajj and they distribute that money to poor people back home. When that person died last year, it was surfaced that he was helping almost one hundred homes. It was also know that with his zamzam water sale, he built many mosques. In 1977 a mosque was built with his money contribution whose expenditure was 11 lac rupees. Besides this other 40 mosques were also built on his contribution. After hearing this I really had great admiration for that rich person who did this all just for Allah’s sake and does not spend on his own self. I recalled the saying of Hazrat Mohammad ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) as he said that live in this world as travellers live. It gives us the lesson of real benefit of this world and after life benefits.
