MIRACLE 111 – FROM DISBELIEF TO FAITH

‘A man saw Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) in his dream and he said to this man, ‘Go to so and so Majus and tell him, ‘The supplication is answered’. The man hesitated to deliver the message to the Majus. He saw Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) for a second time and third time.

After the third time, he woke up in the morning and went to the house of the Majus. He met the Majus when he was alone and told him, ‘I am a messenger of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and he tells you that the supplication is answered’.

The Majus replied, ‘Do you not recognise me?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘I deny the religion of slam and Prophethood of Mohammed (s.a.w.a.)’.

He said, ‘I know this, but he (s.a.w.a.) is the one who asked me to come to you three times.

Hearing this the Majus brought faith and said, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah, the Almighty, and that Mohammed (s.a.w.a.) is the Messenger of Allah, and he called his family members and his companion and told them, ‘I was upon straying and I have returned to the truth, so become Muslims. The one who becomes a Muslim, then whatever is with him (from the worldly possessions) it will continue to be with him, and one who refuses, he will not have a part in what I own.

The group became Muslims, and so did his family members. His daughter was married to his own son (brother and sister), so he carried out a separation between the two.

Then he said to me, ‘Do you know what the supplication is?’ I said, ‘No, by Allah, but I want to ask you about it now’.

He said, ‘When I got my daughter married, I made a meal and invited the people. I instructed my servants to spread a mat for me in the middle of the house. There were some noble poor people near our house, they had no money with them. I heard a little girl said to her mother, ‘O mother! This Majus has harmed us with the aroma of his food!’

Hearing this, I sent lot of food and money for all of them. When they saw it, the little girl said, ‘By Allah! we will not eat until we supplicate for him’.

They raised their hands and said, ‘May Allah, raise you with our grandfather Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)’ and some of them said Aameen.

So that is the supplication which has been Answered’’.¹
