A FAMOUS STORY

One sunny afternoon a person was performing namaz in the desert. Majnu walked across in front of the person. Then the person got angry and slapped Majnu on the face and shouted, ¡§O Madman! How dare you cross a person who is performing namaz! As per the divine verdict of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, crossing a person who is in namaz is the biggest sin. By crossing me you have violated the verdict of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. Remember! You will be given returns in an atom's weight.¡¨



Poor Majnu recognized where he was walking but his innocent heart could not comprehend what the man was saying. He asked in a humble voice, ¡¨O my brother! I was in such a mental state that I had forgotten the material world. To be frank, I did not know where I was walking. I was completely involved in my divine love. So, I could not see this material world.¡¨



After saying this Majnu was about to tread ahead on his mad journey, but his soul generated sacred question. He turned back and asked the person, "O my brother! I have one doubt. I was completely involved in my divine love, so I could not see this material world. But when you were involved in Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, how did you get to know that I crossed you? Please brother! For heaven's sake, do not perform namaz as a fashion-show."



Hearing these wise words the person got shocked. He came near Majnu and held his hand with gentle love and said, "My dear friend, you are really a pearl of the desert. You have shown me the true path of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. In front of your divine love, my namaz is really a fashion-show."



After saying this he looked at the sky above and said, "O Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala! Even if I am defeated in life, let Majnu not be defeated. We are all just doing business with you, but Majnu is really a crown to you'.


Majnu was not emotional, but he was completely involved in Laila and Laila in him. They are not two separate identities. Their heart of oneness itself is the great art of God and the last verdict of heaven
