When I was in Pakistan I used to go to a lot of MAZARS and DARGAHS just to see and feel
some real and powerful supernatural force which governs the peoples’ behaviour.Once I was walking through a street in the night and that street was empty.All of a sudden I
saw some Faqirs coming from the opposite direction.I stopped there and started looking into there faces.One of them looked into my eyes and asked,“TUM KON HO BUCCHA?”.
I told him my name on which he asked me again
“YEH TO TUMHARA NAM HAY.TUM KON HO?”.I thought that he is asking me about my relegion so I told him that I am a Muslim.But
he again asked me,“BETA MAIN NAY MUZHAB KA KAB POOCHHA HAY.MAIN TO YAH POOCHH RAHA HOON KEY TUM KON HO?”.By that time I was geting scared of him because of appearence.But as I started it so I had to be with him.I asked him whatelse he was trying to ask me.On this he got real loud and mad and asked me,"TUM NAY ABHI BATAYA KEH TUM MUSALMAN HO.TUM KIYA
KERTAY HO KEH APNAY AAP KO MUSALMAM KEHTAY HO?"I was realy geting scared of him but tried to answer him,"MAIN NAMAZ PARHTA HOON.
ROAZAY RAKHTA HOON.AUR JO JO BATAIN BATAEE
GAEE HAIN WOH KARTA HOON."After this answer he gave me a smile and said,"TO TUM BHI NAMAZ PARHNAY AUR ROZAY REKHNAY WALAY MUSALMAN HO.AUR BARAY FAKHR SAY SEENA TAAN KER LOGOAN KO BATATAY HO KEH TUM MUSALMAN HO.
KIA TUM PARHAY LIKHAY HO?"I told him about my education.On which he asked me,“TUM TO ACHHAY KHASAY PARAY LIKHAY HO.TO BATAO KIA ISLAM KI KISI KITAB MAIN NAMAZ PARHNAY KA HUKAM HOA HAY?AGAR NAHIN TO TUM KIS MUNH SAY APNAY AAP KO MUSALMAN KEHTAY HO?”
And saying this he left me alone.Believe me whenever I am alone I ask this question to myself quiute alot.TUM KON HO?And trust me I haven’t got the answer as yet.Can anybody help me?
