1 Maulana Sahib And Gul Faraz:

At half past eight in the morning, a man named Gul Faraz entered the mosque with a cup in his mouth, Maulvi Sahib, twenty-two years old, a very good and humble person, engaged in meditation:

Gul Faraz:"Assalam Alaikum!."

Maulana Sahib:"Walaikum Salaam Sahib!."

Gul Faraz:"Maulana Sahib,I wanted to ask a question."

Maulana Sahib:"Look, ask ten questions, not one,but first spit out the bread that is in your mouth."

Gul Faraz:"GG,why not!."

Maulana:"Yes! Now ask the problem."

Gul Faraz:"Allama Sahib,the problem It was to ask when this wretched sectarianism would end."

 Maulana Sahib:(Heaving a long sigh):"Look, when people will learn to differentiate between truth and falsehood, sectarianism will die like that."

Gul Faraz:"Yes,Maulana,but I'm sorry for being rude, but actually, you people give a lot to sectarianism."

Maulana Sahib:(very politely):"Look, if you are ignorant of the depth of the ocean,its flow and its reality,then you have no right to point a finger at a swimmer."

Gul Faraz:(applauding):"Wow,wow,Maulana Sahib and you said in a very poetic way,but..."

Maulana Sahib:"But what?."

Gul Faraz:"Let's leave it, let's tell what kind of man Saddam Hussain was."

Maulana Sahib:"Saddam Hussain?."

Gul Faraz:"Saddam Hussain,was he not a great mujahid?."

Maulana Sahib:"Look sir, when you know who Saddam Hussain was, why are you asking me."

Gul Faraz:"No,sir,many people say that he was not a hero,so I thought to ask."

Maulana Sahib:"See, do not listen to the words of an ignorant person,who smiles at the announcement of his own penalty of death.He laughed and recited the Kalima of martyrdom and offered his life in the way of Allah Ta'ala.He is not a Mujahid,so what else is he?."

Gul Faraz:"Right,right,indeed you are right,well,by the way who was involved in the incident of 9/11?."

Maulana Sahib:"Sorry? Well,how can I know it? You..you..."

Gul Faraz:"Me! No sir,I was sleeping at that time,how can I be involved in it?."

Maulana Sahib:"No,no,I was saying that.Will you take tea or etc?."

Gul Faraz:"No,no,thank you!."

Maulana Sahib:"Good then see you later,okay?."

Gul Faraz:"Yes,let's go,it's fine,Let's go home now and eat some food and etc."

Maulana Sahib:"Yes,minding the civilization of the mosque..."

Gul Faraz:"Yes,of course I understand,then,see you later."

Maulana Sahib:(slowly)"Ok! Allah Hafiz,who are these people?."

(Again engages in meditation)

Gul Faraz:(coming back):"But sir,this sectarianism..."

Maulana Sahib:(opens his eyes again and says angrily while covering his face with his hand):"Sir,please do me a favour,pick up the stone that is lying in front of you and tear my head,we are the one's who increase sectarianism,after all."

Gul Faraz:"Woah sir! You are angry,let's go,then,see you later."

Maulana:(to himself):"The mistake is all mine,is this a time for meditation?."

2nd Meeting:Maulana Sahib joined Gul Faraz while eating at a feast:

Gul Faraz:"Assalam Alaikum!."

Maulana:(turning to him):"Walalaikum Salam!."

Gul Faraz:"Yes,the question I did not ask about sectarianism? You were angry,I thought I should apologize."

 Maulana:(Heaving a long sigh):"It's okay! Apology accepted."

Gul Faraz:(sitting and eating):"Yes, by the way.There was one more question..."

Maulana:"Look,it is not appropriate to argue at this time…."

Gulfraz:"Good,good,don't talk while eating.Shouldn't be because of that,huh?."

Maulana:"No! look,this is actually the way of the infidels to be silent while eating."

Gulfraz:"So I am saying the same thing,sir!."

Maulana:(disappointingly):"You won brother,ask questions."

Gul Faraz:"Yes, the question was that what Allama Iqbal Sahib wrote with,then it is not Kufriya poetry…"

Maulana:(Keeping the handkerchief on his face,coughing):"Fear God, brother! Look, you just stay in your position,at what stage is Allama Iqbal Sahib and where are you? Who are you to object to him?."

Gul Faraz:(in a humble tone):"No objection, sir! There was only one question, let's leave it and tell him who was the Quaid-e-Azam."

Maulana:(interrupting him):"I have eaten, I am going, it was nice to meet you."

Gul Faraz:(slowly):"Allah's curse on the liar."

Maulana:"Allah Hafiz!."

(After saying this, they quickly got up and left)
