Download PDF: [S] He Responded to a Call from a Muslim Lady (Islamic story)
Once, during the reign of Mu’tasim billah, who was the Khalifah of the Muslims in that era, a person stood up in his court and declared, “O Ameerul Mo’mineen! I am coming from a place called Umuriyah and I have indeed seen a most amazing event. A fat person, who was Christian, slapped a female slave who was a Muslim. In this state of helplessness, the female slave cried, ‘O Khalifah Mu’tasim! Where are you at this moment’?”
When the Christian heard this, he remarked in a sarcastic manner, “Where are you calling out to Mu’tasim and how can he answer you. Will he be able to ride on the fastest of horses and come to you aid?”
He again held the face of the Muslim female and slapped her on the other side of her face.
When Mu’tasim heard this, his face became red with anger. He then asked the person in which direction was Umuriyah. When the person had pointed out the direction to him, he turned towards that direction and shouted out, “Laabaik! O Muslim female! I have heard your call and very soon, Mu’tasim will answer your call.”
Mu’tasim then ordered that twelve thousand of the fastest horses be prepared to capture the city of Umuriyah. He led an army against this city. After reaching there, he surrounded the entire city. This siege took longer than he anticipated. Some of his generals then advised him that he should attack the city during the time when the people come out to harvest their crops. Since this was a little while away, the Khalifah did not feel comfortable or happy.
On the same night, Mu’tasim decided to walk around the camp to privately hear the opinion of others in the camp. He wanted to hear their opinion on when would be the right time to attack this city which was surrounded by high walls. He passed a tent in which a person was preparing a shoe for one of his horses. He noticed that this person was a slave and he was hammering the hot iron in such a manner which surprised him. After a while, he placed this hot iron in the water to cool and again started the process once again.
Suddenly, he banged the iron and declared, “This is the head of Mu’tasim.” The blacksmith then said to his slave, “You have indeed said a bad thing about the Khalifah. You should remember your status and you have no right to say such a thing about the Khalifah.”
The slave replied, “You are indeed correct, but our Khalifah is an enemy of the brain. How can he even think of delaying attacking this city when he has such a large army under his control? I swear by Allah Almighty that if the Khalifah gives me the command of this army, then tomorrow, I will defeat these people and capture the city. In fact, I will swear that tomorrow we will be living inside this city.”
When the Khalifah heard these words, he ordered a few soldiers to keep an eye on this tent that night. In the morning, he ordered the slave to be brought in front of him.
When the slave was standing in front of him, he asked, “Last night, I heard your opinion, what gave you the right to say such a thing?”
The slave replied, “Whatever you have heard, is the truth. If you give me the command of the army, then I will certainly defeat these people and capture this city with the Divine Help of Allah Almighty.”
The Khalifah then decided to give him command of the city on the spot. Such was the Divine Decree of Allah Almighty that this city was captured under the command of this slave.
When Mu’tasim billah entered the city, the first thing he did was search for the person who slapped the female. When this person appeared in front of him, he said to him, “Take me to exact spot where you had slapped this female.”
The person then took him to that exact spot. The Khailfah then asked the female to be brought forward. When she appeared, he asked her, “O female! Has Mu’tasim come to your aid or not?”
The female nodded her head in acknowledgement. He then ordered the female to slap the Christian in the same manner in which he had slapped her. This is exactly what happened In front of everyone. (Qasasul Arab, 3/439)
These were the real Arabs of the past. In the present age, it is sad to see that people would call themselves Muslims or even leaders of Muslims and remain silent when hundreds of Muslims are being slaughtered on a daily basis. This begs the question; should we even call these people Muslims or even leaders of Muslims?
There is an interesting point made an eminent scholar before the idiot called Tahirul Qadri came to this country. Obviously, there was great confusion because people who had always supported the Sunnis were now people bringing someone into the country who was insulting Sunniyat. This meant that fathers would go against sons and vice versa. Families would turn against families. In this state of immense panic and confusion. An eminent scholar from overseas gave only one special advice to the rightly guided ‘Ulama. He said to them, “You merely have to sit in only one group and do nothing else.” The wisdom behind it, as far as he was concerned, was that merely sitting together would bring the Divine Help of Allah Almighty. That is exactly what happened. In spite of the financial muscle of many people, the Sunnis were able to chase this person from this country.
If this is the Barakah of merely sitting together, can you imagine the Barakah of standing up and actually doing something? Besides Malaysia in recent times, no one has stood up and condemned what is happening in Myanmar. The answer from Myanmar is, “you are interfering in our politics”. In other words, allow us to kill and slaughter the Muslims because this is our business.
As Muslims of Malaysia, you should mind your own business. What did Malaysia do after this? As is the norm of most other so-called Muslim countries, they have decided to remain silent. That is why we say the greatest gift to humanity is the Day of Judgement. On that day, no excuses would be heard. If you were a failure and irresponsible Muslim in the world, you cannot ask for a return ticket to go and correct yourself.
Until the present day, the Muslims have not even created one super power to defend the Muslims of the world. Yes, the Christians have managed to do this with countries like the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, etc. who have created a super army to enter Muslim countries to do whatever they wish. When it comes to problems in Africa, they would send troops from Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc. These countries are under the impression that the UN is their Qur’an and whatever this Kaafir institute dictates, that is what should happen.
Puppets have been placed in Arabia so that the West can control the oil. ISIS, Al Qaedah, Boko Haram, Al Shabbab, etc. has been created by the West so that it keeps the Muslim countries a hundred years behind time in development. Where there is constant war, there is no progress and the West has managed to do this on a regular basis. Have you heard of car bombs in the USA, the UK, Australia, France, etc.? This should clearly tell you where these car bombs are coming from when they appear regularly in Muslim countries. We will use the word “Muslim” countries not because their governments have anything to do with Islam, most of them cannot even be called Muslims. But when we use the word “Muslim countries” we do so because the majority of people living in these countries are Muslims.
One of the greatest weapons in the present age is the power of finance and this is what has been captured by the West while so-called Muslim governments are living on hand-outs. One of the main secret services operating in India is Mossad or the Israeli Secret Service. It’s no surprise since Pakistan are on their doorstep. Why Mossad? It is merely to make sure that the interest of the West is safe against any Islamic uprising in Pakistan.
Coming back to the words of wisdom mentioned earlier. All that the genuine Muslims have to do is to get together in some secret venue and wait for the Divine Help of Allah which would surely come. The above story of Mu’tasim billah is a clear example.
