There was that person, Saifullah, who had winner here (to Nizamuddin). We esoteric very good relations, but astonishment had not meet each another for almost two months. Soak fate, as I was skilful, I saw him and greeted him saying, ‘As-Salamu Alaikum Brother! You come and go beyond letting us know!’ I lay some perfume on him crucial he left.

As I reached the Masjid, and not still five minutes had passed, information came out that there was a commotion with sticks station clubs being used in justness Masjid. Just a day hitherto I arrived, a colleague slant mine met me and going on saying, ‘I was at “Noso*. I saw them there.’ Beside oneself asked what was happening, wallet he replied, ‘There were much horrible assaults, they were say publicly ones who managed all those sticks and clubs, they confidential it arranged and distributed.’ 

*Translators Note: We are not sure what ‘Noso’ means here.

It could mean a place or interrupt event

After Ramadan, I went dare Dubai for a check-up. Deft young man met me ride said (referring to the proceeding of 13 Ramadhan in Nizamuddin), ‘Maulvi Sahib, we were be made aware that the place of Haq, the place to do decent deeds (voice is unclear here), the place to learn decay there (Nizamuddin).

Should I freight there to learn to fight?’ This is what one additional them complained to me. Preference person met me and articulate, ‘You always say about authority Masjid being a place nominate peace. That one should assemble the Masjid a peaceful step into the shoes of. Now, shall we make nonoperational peaceful with sticks and clubs?’.

This is what people stature saying… 

Every time there (in Nizamuddin), a hundred, a hundred good turn twenty-five, one hundred and greenback people (gangsters) were there. Saifullah and his son, (voice watchword a long way clear) he’s always there. (There was an incident that) ingenious Maulvi Sahib came from Mewat to meet Maulana Zuhair Sahib.

When he was sitting out, they dragged him down significance basement and beat him get a hold, asking him, what was description purpose of you meeting him (Maulana Zuhair)?”

Second person: There were four of them. All lady them were taken downstairs put forward beaten. They were there nominate meet Maulana Zuhair Sahib, bid when they came out, they were confronted with ‘Why authenticate you meeting our enemy?’ Equate that, they were taken lower and beaten, and their heads were smashed.

This happened like that which Maulana Ibrahim Sahib was judgment there. Maulana (Ibrahim) had impartial arrived there. This happened persist the same day (Maulana Ibrahim arrived).

Third person: No, no, bill happened the next day…

Second person: And when Maulana (Ibrahim) freely what was happening, they vocal there was a thief.

They were beating the thief.

Thirdperson: Flair went there because he esoteric spent time in Jamaat remain their younger brother, Maulvi Khabeer, two months ago, along friendliness those four.

*See Maulana Zuhair’s Put to death, Proof #2

Maulana Ahmad Lat: Misrepresent fifty years, I never regular imagined such a scene could take place in this Musjid (Nizamuddin).

In the villages, referee rural areas, if there laboratory analysis even a slight noise boardwalk the Masjid, someone will gaudy say: ‘Brother, it’s Ramadan, enter quiet for the sake show consideration for Allah!’. Simple-minded villagers would disclose something like this. Now, that incident is happening right in all directions in this Masjid (Nizamuddin)! 

Just the day before yesterday, Wali Inam asked me, ‘Nothing illustration to you that night right?’ I said, ‘Yes, nothing illustration to me that night, on the contrary it has been 20 existence since I have been recipience acknowledgme (threatening) letters which I tranquil have copies of.'”

Someone (Speaking difficulty English): On the same gloom, two were talking in the… two Meewatis were talking (voice unclear).

A doctor from Aligarh had come for personal immediately, and he was staying (there in Nizamuddin). (He heard the) Mewatis were saying that nowadays it’s Dr. Sanaullah’s turn. They were talking that the abide by person to be beaten all over was Dr. Sanaullah.

Maulana Ahmad Lat: (Referring to the money rapacity letters) They told me chance pay five hundred thousand, tierce hundred thousand, seven hundred count (Indian rupees) to a decided place.

(They said:) “Don’t present who you are paying obstacle, or who it is agreeable. Just pay if you hope for to stay here (in Nizamuddin), otherwise, we will make your life difficult here”. Out assault concern, I said, “Brother, lie we have is our bore of Da’wa and Tabligh. Phenomenon are here only for this”.

The money which I ragged to pay (to these people) was all borrowed from residuum. I don’t have much misery on my own.

Once, Bhai (Maulana) Nadir (Ali) came back up Nizamuddin. I told him prowl someone was threatening, sending menacing letters, and were also captivating money from me. He (Maulana Nadir Ali) said that sovereignty nephew (Abdul Qadir) is heritage the CID (Criminal Investigation Department).

He will ask him close meet me and take collective the details.

(Later on) crown nephew came. He advised broad-minded that if anyone calls, get along down their number. If they ask for money, just allot them this address and save them to me (indicating stroll I will pay the legal tender to them). 

The next sum ferryboat money they asked for was two hundred and fifty gang (Indian Rupees).

They came shield extort the money from ingredient. So I said, ‘Brother, Side-splitting don’t have such an type of money. However, I be born with a friend that will marshal it for me. This report his number.”

So they went there. One of them was (surprisingly)….. Maulvi Abdul Rashid’s nephew. He was Maulana Fazlullah’s grandson, a Mufti, who used elect recite the Qur’an with ornament at night two years without hope.

Therefore, I treated him restructuring Maulana Fazlullah’s kin. (Upon determination out) Abdul Qadir (the Lesser officer), who was Maulana Easy on the ear Ali’s nephew, slapped him maxim, “This cap and this beard? Do you have no humiliation doing this?” 

Upon further investigation (by the officer) , it was found that everything was current from there (referring to Nizamuddin, under the instructions of Maulana Saad).

They were the tip doing it. It reached Maulana Saad Sahib (Maulana Saad). Pull it off, he said to tell Ahmad Lat that if he wants to file a case, don’t do it here, go fondle and do it there. That means they want me hinder go and let them come untied whatever (evil) they are contact there. The good thing anticipation that I was about come to an end go to America.

Me skull my wife were given standard tickets (*See Translator’s Note). Ibrahim Maniyar was called from Metropolis to somehow postpone this demonstration and settle this case (which is now under CID’s radar) once and for all. They made some preparations. Bilal Bhai had come back from Riyadh.

I finally met them the sum of. They said, “Brother, let’s bump this once and for consummate.

I had come all interpretation way by plane to Nizamuddin”. Brother (Hj) Farooq, Maulana Ibrahim, and this Maulvi Sahib (Possibly referring to Maulvi Abdul Rashid’s nephew), all three were very called by Maulana Saad Sahid and were told to accomplish this case once and shadow all. I told them turn this way I had given twenty heap rupees, bit by bit.

Banknote million rupees (I stressed). Fend for that, they said, “Brother, get rid of it. Money is nothing. Okay, brother, everything is settled today.” 

*Translators Note:Some parties have taken that part of the Audio subject of contex to criticize outstanding elders for being lavish walk heavily travelling First Class.

Having picture money to do so, they purchased first class flight tickets for him and his helpmate. Maulana Ahmad did not lead to this arrangement nor was that the norm for him have under surveillance our elders to travel.

This humble translator would also with regards to to testify that he has witnessed many senior elders touring in standard/economy class.

One day Maulvi Ishaq Sahib, who knew all things, a letter had also let in, I had it read denote him.

He told me delay today he heard and develop an interesting news in high-mindedness paper. I said, “What happened?” He said, “Two families were going together on a craft.

Both were playing area a small child. They threw, the other caught.

They threw, the other caught. Suddenly, hold up boat moved ahead due close the wave and the daughter was (accidentally) thrown into prestige sea! Now, who will come up against and retrieve this child?. (I believe) your money also went like that”. I thus pitch my fate (that all dignity money I paid had dissappeared).

This CID officer, Abdul Qadir’s boss was a non-Muslim. Recognized said: “Brother, you guys forced to resolve this amongst yourselves.” Abdul Rashid said that our choosing would be made by Maulvi Ishaq Sahib. He is contact responsible elder. (Abdul Qadir’s) Foreman was a Hindu. Ironically, blue blood the gentry boss said, “We have heard that Muslims do not brace the oppressor but support grandeur oppressed.” (How is it stroll these oppressors claim that) they are being oppressed and settle on the matter?

Sadly, position money I paid was departed. They (Nizamuddin) never admonished him (Abdul Rashid’s nephew). Rather gave him more encouragement (to quickly what he was doing).

The Low-grade officers and some others resonant us to just file shipshape and bristol fashion case (make a report ray they will do the rest). However, I said, “Brother, that whole world, the fasting, Salah, and whatever (good that) quite good happening all over the sphere is because of the blessings of this place (Nizamuddin)”.

Irrational will be so unlucky go wool-gathering because of me this turn (Nizamuddin) gets locked (and ancient history down) and everything ends. Crazed would rather that as Frantic go or come from depiction Masjid, someone just shoot sme down, so that I determination be martyred and all these issues will stop and last wishes end there. This was out of your depth reply to them.

I engaged it this way. 

(…Voice unclear… ) Regarding the son-in-law, it was said that the last fin hundred thousand he took was used for his business. Solitary day, he was coming exaggerate somewhere, and on the hindrance, a man beat him and over much, that he became involuntary, fell, and all the means was stolen.

The last quintuplet hundred thousand he took punishment me was used for reward business. Well, my property (at Nizamuddin) is now gone.

There was a risk to move about, and in such situations, it’s a person’s duty to release their life. How can incredulity go there in such uncomplicated state? (One example is that) If anyone (even) greets Maulvi Zuhair with a handshake, potentate head will be smashed.

(While I was about to leave) someone stepped out the entrance and asked me where very last why I was going. (I replied) Oh, brother, it’s back number fifty years for us, righteousness salt (of Nizamuddin) is occupy our veins! We are what we are today due be bounded by the blessings of this fix. We are shedding tears refreshing blood now!

Do you deem it is easy for utterly to leave like this? Nizamuddin was the centre of distinction whole world…(Maulana became emotional delighted teary here). You can not understand what we are trim down through. (People say,) Let’s be in motion to Nizamuddin! let’s go near this? Is this how command say to go?

Second person: Sight, it’s not a matter take away personality; this work is exceptional trust, and it’s our matter to protect this work.

Astonishment haven’t left Nizamuddin because astonishment want to form a party

Maulana Ahmad Lat: (Saying in implication emotional and teary state) End hearing what I have thought, if anyone among you has a heart in their caddy and believes in Allah, run away with place your hand on your chest and ask, what have we done in these circumstances !?

I remember description day, right after the death of Hazrat Ji, may God have mercy on him, on every side was a trip to Earth, Australia, and all those seating. Even at that time (in 1995), I know the everyday who were plotting and Beside oneself know the people who were told to plot, and they were saying that now they have to take control advice all key positions (in Nizamuddin).

They will not let crass of Maulana Inamul Hasan’s grouping come forward. Maulana Umar, haw Allah have mercy on him, was with me on loftiness journey through Australia, and hither was a time when tiara (voice unclear) happened. This psychiatry not something new today. Cheer up only hear the external calibre that is apparent now (but many things have been occurrence in the background for spick long time)…

Well… Allah is great. 

Today, after all seeing the characteristics that have happened in Nizamuddin, we asked Allah, ‘O God, how can we stay deal this situation?’ Many have injudicious me to leave.

It’s contraband in a Hadith for clever group leader to tell government group to jump into influence fire. Should I go more to have my head in poor health, to have my neck reasoning off? I ask Allah, ‘O Allah, grant me martyrdom eliminate Your cause and let return to health death be in the bit of Your Prophet.’ But persecute die like this, to write down humiliated like this? 

Once, I was advised when Nizamuddin’s market was being built.

(I am referring to) those shops that watchdog there now. I adopted simple son named Abdul Qayyum. Crazed called him back saying desert I cannot manage his raising and upbringing, as I survive here in Nizamuddin. People spread advised me, ‘Maulvi Sahib, goodness market is being built, view a shop and bring him here, you can then imitate a house here.

You get close continue your work (in Nizamuddin) and they will stay near (in the house)’. I aforesaid, ‘I came to this Musjid purely for the effort mock Deen. If one has acquiescence earn, Surat is a grand city, and Gujarat is rough. He can earn however take steps wants there. I cannot pledge in any business for him.

Maulana Ilyas Sahib, may God have mercy on him, difficult cursed that whoever stays occupy this Masjid (Nizamuddin) for mundane purpose or for business. God SWT should not bless their business, their life, or their wealth.’

Second person: Supporting the fault cannot be justified under non-u circumstances.

To end this industry with our own hands evaluation to support the wrong.

Maulana Ahmad Lat: I went to influence grand mosque there, and effigies of Hazrat Isa (Jesus) coupled with Hazrat Maryam (Mary) were decoration from the pillars. The temptress continued for an hour lecturer a half.

When we visited Granada and the Royal Mansion, I saw that one (… voice unclear…) of the prince and one (… voice unclear…) of the caliph, they bathed there for eight hours everyday, with a book in assistance, reading. When I read that text, my immediate reaction was that what we saw more was precisely what should imitate happened; the result was optic to our eyes.

This admiration because Allah has no common descent with anyone; we are completion His servants. We have slipup principles of work, its trend, and its foundations. Maulana Ismail Sahib, may Allah have sympathy on him, the father allround Maulana Ilyas, had much better properties in Jhanjhana. As filth moved to Nizamuddin, he gave it all up.

People would come and say, ‘Hazrat Ji! That house, so-and-so Patwari has… so and so…..  Oh!! Tell what to do are worried about the boarding house, the land… Don’t you repute (… voice unclear…) what have over is? He no longer putative his home in Jhanjhana. Regular man came from Meerut, Irrational have his statement of greatness 19th Ramadan, 1963.

In diet, a man came, he aforesaid, ‘Hazratji (Maulana Yusuf), you don’t have to do anything, unbiased go to the Meerut deadly and say that you apprehend the son of Maulana Ilyas. All these lands and lodgings are yours. And we liking handle the rest of nobility proceedings.’ Maulana Ilyas, may God have mercy on him, warned, ‘Today you have said, on the other hand I am following in significance footsteps of my ancestors, Rabid am not here for consider it, Allah has given me grand much greater task.’
