Maulana Nooruddin Askar Kashimi
About five hundred years ago Islamic light spread widely in the Maldives in one miracle. People have been included in the team in Islam.
The famous Muslim traveler Allama Ibn Battuta rah Big historians He traveled the whole world. He wrote about the Maldives incident in his tourism that he traveled to the Maldives by traveling. It was seen that every city and town in the Maldives appeared in the melodious sound of Azan. Illumination of liberation in the Maldives Land Prayer.
Allama Ibn Batuta was very surprised to see this situation. Because, according to his knowledge, no preachers of Islam came to the Maldives. Here is how the light of Islam spread!
Ibn Battuta rah Then the people asked the people of the Maldives for being converted into Islam. They heard him in an amazing event.
The phenomenon is:
One of the Arab trade ships was traveling in the east. Eventually the ship fell into a strong sea storm and the ship sank under a storm. All the crew members of the ship died. The only people of that Muslim passenger group, using a piece of wood, survived Allah's grace and took refuge in this island.
He was an Arab youth and Hafiz the Quran. Her name is Hafez Abul Barakat. Where will he go to unknown strangers? Who will give shelter to him? There is no friend or relative of him here!
Finally, this Arab youth took refuge in an old man's house. The young man used to cut wood in woods and sell it. That's how his life was going on.
One day the young man came to the house and saw that the old lady was crying and her young girl crying beside her. The young man asked, what happened to you? Why are you crying
The old woman said, today my daughter will die. The young man said, why? Why will he die? He was healthy! The old man pointed to the finger and said, see that death is in front of us.
The young man looked in front of the house and saw the king's soldiers standing. The young man said, would they kill your daughter?
The old woman said, no, that's not the case. The king's soldiers came to take my daughter. Because, on a particular date on our island, a common danger arises every year. The way to protect them is to leave a young girl on behalf of our islands that day, after sunset, there is a temple on the coast of the sea. The next morning, the government people brought the girl out of the sea to the dead. Every time the lottery is determined - a girl will be sent. Now the name of my daughter got up in the lottery. So tonight he has to send him to the sea coast. His death is inevitable there.
The young man heard this painful incident in the face of the old man, do not send your daughter there today. I'll be there tonight. Let's see what happens there. If necessary, give me my life instead of your daughter.
Then the young man said, "Do not let the king's soldiers understand, so let me dress your daughter's clothes." I'll go with them today.
It should be noted that the young man was very young. His beard and goose did not grow. So the girl did not have the possibility of catching her.
The old woman was not willing to push the youth to death. But the young man understood that he was a Muslim. Muslims do not fear anyone other than Allah. And life and death are only in the hands of Allah. Nobody can beat him if he does not have the command of Allah. Moreover, the Quran is in Hafjah. Therefore, he believes that Allah Almighty will bless him in the blessing of the Holy Qur'an. In this way the young man understood the old man in many ways. Finally, the old woman agreed to a lot of persuasion.
The young man was dressed in a girl's clothes. Then the king's soldiers took him to the temple on the sea coast. They left him there and left him.
The young man saluted him there with good prayers. Then he saw the waves of the sea in front of the open sword and started reciting the holy Qur'an.
The night began to grow deeper. Surrounded all around the silence. Nature fell into the lap of sleep. Only three lives remain awake. Those who have lost their sleep in eyes. One of them is the Arab youth. Whose eyes were on the sea of water and in the chest was the force of faith. Another was awake, he is a poor old woman. The liberal heart of the young man was unsettled. To save his daughter, the young man is going to endanger his own life. The third person who is awake is the young girl of the old man. He was constantly crying for the Arab youth.
In the Hafiz, the Qur'an young man was reciting the Qur'an in the most heart-warm tone of the dark night, in this frozen temple on the shore of the sea. At this moment, the Qur'an is the unimaginable weapon that is in front of all the forces of power.
Suddenly, the horror of a huge monster from the horizon of the sea, the giant gradually came to the temple towards the edge of the sea. The giant stopped coming to the temple. The young man was reciting the Qur'an. Because of the recitation of the Quran, the giant could not move forward.
Finally, the rate is a terrible giant Returned the way that came in a little while. The giant lost in the scene behind the giant It was morning. The government came to the temple to take the body of the girl. They came to be amazed. There is no dead body there. There is no girl. Instead there is a Muslim youth.
They brought the young man to the king's court. The young man opened all the facts to the king and said. Then the king summoned the old woman and the girl for sure. They confirmed the incident to the king. The young man said to the king, I have asked for the teachings of Islam what I have done. This is just a slight change in my intention of old age.
The king was infuriated when he heard all about the young man. The king said, O young man! How did you stand alone in front of such a great danger? The young man said, I was not alone, my God was with me. And my tool was Allah's Word, the Holy Quran.
The king asked, why are you not afraid? The young man said, Muslims are not afraid of anyone other than Allah. The only God of life and death is Allah Almighty.
Then the king said, can you go there alone like this in the coming year? The young man firmly replied that by Allah's permission, I could go alone. The king said with great emotion, if you can, then we will bow down to the integrity of Islam.
All the supporters of the court supported the king.
Then, on the next year's fixed date, the Arab youth of the Quran went to the temple alone and spent the whole night reciting the Qur'an. Then in the morning, he returned to the Saheeh Salam.
Since this incident, the danger never came in the Maldives.
Then the king and all of his court accepted Islam. Then the people of that kingdom were converted to Islam in groups. On the very first day, about sixty thousand people became Muslim and the trend continued in the same pace. Subhan Allah
