Shadaab just completed his Zohar and was coming out of Masjid.Suddenly a person with long beard dressed in Kurta Pajama met him eagerly.He held Shadab's hand & asked about him,what he does and where he stays.Shadab a bit confused with sudden meeting of an unknown person,replied "I am Shadab a Software Engineer working at XYZ company".Hearing this the bearded person became happy & got more closer to Shadab and asked "have you ever been to Tablighi Jamat?" Shadab replied :"No".Bearded person said "we are making a group of software professionals for Tableegh,we have software engineers from this & this company and we would like you to join our group so that we can go to people and do Dawah work".Shadab was happy that he could anything for his religion and and promised to meet him at Jamat Markaz Masjid on coming Saturday Ijtima.Its more than 3 years now,Shadab is an active member of TJ.
Noman is a 3rd year engineering graduate,just like any other college student he is fun loving ,energetic and youthfull.Its time for 5th sem result and he is worried.He called his cousin to visit Dargah of Hazrat Tawakkal Mastan Shah in Majestic to pray for his results.Last time when his cousin was in final year and no placement,they went to Dargah,and within a month his cousin got job in a software company!.
The call just connected...
Noman:AssalamAlaikum Bhaiyya,how are you?
Cousin:Wassalam,Alhumdulillah I am fine.
Noman:I am worried about my 5th sem results,my Structure design paper was a mess,couldn't attempt for more than 40 marks.
Cousin:Thats not good,so whats are you planning?
Noman:I am planning to go to Dargah at Majestic so that I can pray with hazrat's waseela to ALLAH and pass with his dua's.
Cousin:Are you mad???You know visiting Dargah's and making Dua's there is shirk,a deed which will never be forgiven by ALLAH and the person would be in hell forever..
Noman:Bhaiyya,but all of our family member visit hazrat's dargah.Remember how when Zubair bhai was hospitalized and we all went there and later he got well soon?Also,do you remember when Rashid was detected with flu,our full family went to dargah and prayed there?
Cousin:That was all wrong and sin...its Shirk .. Shirk.. & Shirk..
Noman:Areyyy.....Shadab bhaiyya....Have you forgot that how you got into software company by the dua at mazaar???
Cousin: I dont want to argue any more with you.I said its Shirk & pure shirk, asking anyone other than ALLAH is Shirk and a Mushrik will always in hell.
Noman:Then what with Dada,Nana,Chhote Mamu ?they used to visit Dargah and now no more with us?
Cousin:(after pausing for sometime)Do one thing meet me at Jamat Markaz Masjid on coming Saturday Ijtima after Magrib.
Noman:(sad) I really fear whether I would pass my exams this time,anyway I would join you.See you there,Wassalam.
Cousin:Wassalam.
Noman passed his 5th sem exams.He is in 8th sem now and head of TJ student wing.
High alerts all over the country due to recent anti social activities.Noman just returned after a tiresome day,giving interviews.Suddenly,he is taken to police custody for inquiry.Its third day in custody now.He just heard from his parents that Shadab along with his group is also being interrogated in Delhi from past week.
Family is shattered.Tears are not stopping for Noman's mom,Abbu has not slept from the day Noman was taken.Even the family members have stopped calling or visiting them.Shadab's wife(sister of Noman) has come to her home,she is also inconsolable.
Its Friday,Noman's abbu along with his uncles visits Dargah at Majestic.They came crying and went crying.Abbu when went near Mazar said:"Hazrat we have been visiting you from our forefathers time.Whenever our family faced any issue you helped us to overcome and again we need your dua's".Abbu spent more than an hour,begging for Shadab & Noman's release from Hazrat.
Its a month now,Shadab & Noman just released yesterday,no evidence has been found against them.It was later found that a person they met in Markaz, who was found guilty, had their number in his mobile which lead to this ungrateful journey of trauma for them & their family.
