AN EVIL DEATH- THE CONSEQUENCE OF INTERFAITH
Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (Rahmatullah alayh) narrated:
“A prominent wealthy man (a Muslim) had sided with the Hindus in the town of Jalalabad when they were about to construct a temple. Muslims had objected. Afterwards this prominent personality was overtaken by sickness. Molvi Ghulaam Husain who was a pious hakeem went to Jalalabad to attend to a patient. The relatives of the prominent personality requested the hakeem to attend to their patient. After the hakeem conducted his diagnosis, he mentioned that there was no hope for the patient.
As the hakeem was about to depart, the wealthy man held on to his hand and implored the hakeem not to leave. The man said: ‘Two men appeared to me holding a cage of fire and saying that they would soon be imprisoning me in the cage. On seeing you, they moved back, but said that they would soon take me in the cage.” The hakeem could not remain for long. Soon after his departure, the wealthy man died.
Several persons saw in their dreams someone warning them: “Do not perform any deeds of Isaal-e-Thawaab for him. Nothing will benefit him. He died a kaafir.”
Those who participate in interfaith exercises should take note. Beware and fear!
