ME AND MAULANA: A PERSONAL RECOLLECTION OF WAHIDUDDIN KHAN - John M. Butt

Sahab. Although, I was not so intellectually awakened at that time but I was able to understand that all the objections were irrelevant and stupid. All those stuff were nothing more than a stupid reaction with personal attack. There was no academic response at all. The rivals were not able to map the depth and range of what Maulana had written and expressed. All these experiences only strengthened my trust, respect and affection for Maulana Sahab. I learnt from him how to ignore the distraction and stick to the mission. I am sure that Maulana’s entry into my life was the result of the acceptance of my super dua made for quite a long time. At last, God was invoked and guided me. I understood the true meaning of religion and difference between faith and practical wisdom. Maulana had pushed me towards God and taught me how to lead a God-Oriented life. My parents were surprised with pleasure when they saw me coming home with boxes of Quran & supporting literatures in spite of boxes of sweets & gifts. I was almost a different person now. I was deconditioned and the process of intellectual development had begun. I understood the law of nature. I was able to understand human beings well and learnt how to handle a person with a positive attitude. I learnt how to seek refuge of God from Satanic stimulations. I was able to bring my family life as well as professional life back on the track. Maulana’s teachings transformed my overall personality and now I was completely a different person. I sincerely thank God for He arranged Maulana Wahiduddin Khan as a torch-bearer and guide for me and millions others. –CPS International Member
