In 1997, during Moulana Mohammed Burhanuddin’s RA visit to Bangkok, I was fortunate to be there. I would be around Moula RA through the day and night; from talaqqi to salaam, from takbeera to azaan, I got all that I had never even dreamt of.
Yet, there was something I had been praying for for many years. My hopes were low, but I knew if there was anyone who could change my situation, it was Moulana Mohammad Burhanuddin RA.
On one instance, during a qadambosi bethak, I performed salaam and with tears in my eyes, I uttered: ‘Moula mari shaadi ne ghana waras thai gaya, mara paase farzand nathi’.
Moula RA looked at me for some moments, and stated: ‘mari aankho ma dekhi ne kaho ke mein Karbala ni zyarat karwa jais’. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I looked up and responded: ‘Moula mein Karbala jais’.
Just as I was moving away, Moula RA stopped me, blessed me with a radiant smile, and proclaimed in an assertive and joyous voice: ‘pachi dikro thai to mara paase lawjo’.
Words cannot describe how I felt in that moment. The world around me stopped, and I could feel a child in my arms. My heart was brimming with gratitude and hope.
I went to Karbala shortly afterward. Burhanuddin Moula RA visited Karachi the next year, and I went to Burhani Mahal with my son. As Moula RA passed by us, with tears in my eyes and a child in my hands, I said: ‘Moula aa farzand aapye aapu che, aapye farmayu hatu mara pase lai ne awjo’.
Moula RA stopped, graced us with a warm, reassuring smile, blessed my son with his Nazar Mubarak, and walked forward to numerous other mumineen who were most certainly standing there just like me, blessed by Moulana Mohammad Burhanuddin’s RA touch of life.
I am just among the thousands.
