When Prophet PBUH reached the Heaven to meet Allah, it was established that humanity will first name the Prophet PBUH in their prayer and after that Allah. Because on Heaven, Allah first referred to the Prophet PBUH and then Prophet PBUH referred to Allah. This was a great moment: Allah told him that he had created the universe for him; and the Prophet PBUH told Allah that he could abandon everything at His command. There was no one in the middle and the Prophet PBUH said I want nothing; I want only you.
Once King Mahmud of Ghazni opened the doors of his coffers and told people to take his wealth. People fell over each other and started grabbing whatever they could. The King withdrew to a forest on his horse thinking that his absence will encourage the masses to take without hesitation. After reaching a distance, he felt that someone was following and found that his slave Ayaz was in his wake. He asked Ayaz to go back and take his share from the treasury, but Ayaz fell to his knees and said he did not want wealth but wanted to serve the man who owned this wealth.
Thus did Allah tell the Prophet PBUH to take all the wealth he could but the Prophet said I have left everything in pursuit of You. I could break the moon in two, make the sun turn from its course, ask the trees to move close to me, and the stones to start reciting the kalima. On my command, bones set themselves and eyes start seeing again, and the poison of the snake becomes ineffective. I have done all this but, O Allah I don’t want all this.
Once the Prophet PBUH stood at the foot of a mountain and called on the Quresh tribe to listen to him. He said will you trust me if I say there is an army of the enemy on the other side of the mountain ready to attack? Abu Jahal stepped forward and said your childhood and youth has unfolded before us and we have found you truthful and trustworthy. If you warn about the enemy we will believe you.
The Prophet then said what if after believing me you go to the other side of the mountain and find there no enemy? Abu Jahal replied: we are kafir (non-believers) but we are not without honour.
The Propjet PBUH asked Abu Jahal: Why are you saying such a big thing? He replied if my people send me to the top of the mountain to confirm and I see no army I will still say the army is there. This despite the fact that I am not with you in faith but I have seen you live among us for the past 40 years.
Then came time when the Prophet PBUH announced the new faith and invited the Quresh to it but the Quresh turned against him. For three years he hid in the clan of Abi Talib and what was done to him is difficult to relate. In short, in those days of hardship the Prophet called his daughter Fatima as one who was closest to him (jigar). Later Deobandi ulema wrote about it and tried to change the facts but our founder (of Barelvism) Ahmad Raza Khan Barelvi wrote a questionnaire and gave their charges the lie. Today these wolves have put on the clothes of human beings, but Ahmad Raza Khan wrote a book in answer to their charges and proved that the earth on which lay the body of the Prophet PBUH was greater in status than Heaven itself.
Today as I say this I am in a dangerous situation. They (Deobandis) will never forgive me. I also fear those of my own community. But I will say one thing: if the lady (Fatima) who gave her son as sacrifice required a sacrifice from me I am willing to hang on the scaffold for her.
