Madinay ki Machli | The Fish of Madinah
Qutb-e-Madinah mentioned the parable of a selfless businessman
Dear Islamic brothers! Did you realize? Though, our Sahabah Kiraam رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم were living in poverty, yet they were so determined to act selflessly that everyone gave preference to another person, over himself, whereas, regretfully, today our condition is totally opposite. Majority of the people are busy in causing trouble to their own people.
My Murshid (spiritual guide), Sayyidi Qutb-e-Madinah, Maulana Ziyauddin عَـلَيْـهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـمُـبِیۡن had shifted to Madinah Munawwarah زَادَھَـا الـلّٰـهُ شَـرَفًـا وَّ تَـعۡـظِیۡـمًا during the reign of Turks. He died in Madinah, on 3rd Zul-Hijja-til-Haraam, in year 1401 of Hijri calendar and was buried in Jannat-ul-Baqi’. Someone asked him, ‘Your Eminence! How were the Muslims at that time when you had shifted to Madinah?’ He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: A rich person intended to distribute clothes in large quantities among the poor people of Madinah. Therefore, he said to a cloth trader, ‘I want these many bundles of certain type of cloth.’ The trader replied, ‘I have your required bundles of cloth but please purchase it from the shop just opposite to my shop because اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, my sales have been good today but that person has earned less.’
Sayyidi Qutb-e-Madinah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, ‘At that time, Muslims used to be a symbol of sincerity and selflessness, whereas you are aware of the condition of Muslims at present that how they are busy accumulating wealth and causing trouble to one another.’
