of the condition of that place are not something new which are impossible for a person. In fact, all these are possible by the bestowal of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, or rather have been proved.

Sayyiduna Saariyah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was busy in Jihad (battle against non-believers) in Nahawand. One day while delivering a sermon at the pulpit of Masjid Nabawi Sayyiduna ‘Umar رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ suddenly said: ‘یَا سَارِیَۃُ الْجَبَل’ (O Saariyah! Turn your back towards the mountains.) The people present in the Masjid became astonished because Sayyiduna Saariyah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was in Nahawand which was hundreds of miles away from Madinah Munawwarah. They were wondering as to what made Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen call him out that day.

But when a messenger of Sayyiduna Saariyah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ came from Nahawand, he said: When we confronted non-Muslims in the battle field,             we were about to suffer a defeat. In the meantime, a voice was heard           ‘O Saariyah! Turn your back towards the mountain.’ Sayyiduna Saariyah                 رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said that it was the voice of Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. Having said this he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ immediately ordered his army to make a row by turning their backs towards the mountain and then the tide of battle turned. The army of the non-Muslims fled from the battlefield and the army of Islam achieved a superb victory.

Dear Islamic brothers! This event has made it clear that it is absolutely possible to see someone or hear the voice of someone from a distance by the bestowal of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. In this scientific era, it is not difficult to understand that we not only can talk to a person from any part of the world, but we can also see him. For example, when we call an Islamic brother who is living in Baghdad, he will talk to us on phone through a scientific connection.

When the voice of each other can be heard through a phone and people can see one another through a video call despite so much distance, it means these saints of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have more power than these inventions because it is stated in a blessed Hadees about them: A bondman keeps on attaining My closeness through Nawafil to the extent that I make him My beloved bondman.
