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

I lost my dear husband all of a sudden, he passed away in his sleep. It was a great shock to me. I was flabbergasted, depressed and very insecure. I had two nervous break downs. I could not sleep at all and wept all the time and was totally disturbed mentally. Due to constant weeping, stress and pressure my vision got blurred. My niece Naghma suggested that I visit Maulana, which I did. He saw me in this disturbed condition, my tears were flowing out like a stream and I was sobbing. He heard me while I poured out my pain to him. He suggested a beautiful remedy to stop my tears. He said... “CONVERT YOUR PAIN AND TEARS IN DUA FOR YOUR HUSBAND” “AS YOU START CRYING, START MAKING DUA FOR HIM.” I did what Maulana advised and it worked very well. I was composed and felt much better. Besides this I have a number of meaningful, sensible, clear and correct answers to my queries from him. Once I asked him a question regarding “JINS” and said ‘I have heard it’ He gave me a very beautiful yet stern answer saying “We don’t have to believe hearsay ...Allah has given us the ‘QURAN’. Find its answer in the Quran and follow only what is written in the Quran and nothing else”
