Q: Alsalam Alaikum
A: Walaikul Salam
Q: I have called you from Sonipat to meet my father and give an
interview about your conversion which will be published in monthly
ARMUGHAN's series.
A: Yes Hazrat has told me about it sometimes back
Q:
Are you quite well? Please introduce yourself.
A: My full name is Ram
Veer and I am son of Ajab Singh, resident of village Kakra district
Muzzafar Nagar. We were seven brothers and sisters but two have died. I
passed my high school examination from Rashtraya Inter College Shahpur.
My father is a gentle and hardworking farmer and belongs to a Hindu Jat
religious family.
Q: Please tell us about your coming to Islamic fold.
A: It was just by chance because I did not have any intention of
becoming a Muslim. Actually I was leading a spoiled life after leaving
my studies and divorcing my wife. I always roamed in jungles, teased
people and grew a drug addict. I joined a band of robbers and used to
rob cattle suppliers and travelers. My family members and mohalla
residents were fed up with me. The family people asked me to leave the
house. But I refused to do so and decided to take up farming with the
help of a tube well. I got the old tube well owned by my Ansari
neighbour repaired and put it in operation by borrowing motor and fan
and getting an unauthorized electric connection. But despite my best
efforts and employing tractor the tube well did not supply water. I
approached a pundit who asked me to make some offerings on tube well to
please the gods. I had nothing with me to offer. I thought that gods
would be pleased by offering Bhang. I offered crushed Bhang to the tube
well but could not get any water. One night my neighbour Ansari the
owner of tube well was lying with me near the tube well. He said "If
water comes in tube well I shall offer two rakats of prayer". Hearing
this I said 'Then I will offer 4 rakats of prayer". On that night
electric current came at 12:45pm. I asked my neighbour, Yasin Ansari to
join the connection. But Ansari asked me to do so because he was afraid
of touching electricity. As soon as I put the connection on, water
gushed from the tube well at high speed. Though clay was completely dry,
very soon the velocity of water made a 1½ meter deep pit on the road.
In the morning the residents of the locality saw the tube well working.
They asked me to get an authorized light connection before using it.
After closing the tube well Yaseen Ansari told me to fulfill the promise
to offer prayers. He warned me that in case of default the tube well
would go out of order again. I agreed and followed him towards the
village mosque. Ansari made wudhu at the tube well and asked me to
become Muslim first and promised to get me an authorized electric
connection. I told him that Muslims did not like me and they would not
tolerate me. Ansari Saheb replied that after your Islam this would not
happens and even if Muslims did not accommodate you here, Allah would
admit you in paradise. Then I asked him to take me to a Madarsa at
Harsauli. There I met Maulvi Anis Saheb who told me to go to Muzaffar
Nagar or to Phulat and see Maulana Kaleem Saheb. I went to home and
after informing my mother and taking some money reached Phulat. There I
met Maulana Saheb and told my plight. He asked me to recite Kalma and
lead a peaceful life. He took promise from me to abandon drugs and to
leave all bad habits. He said to me "You belong to brave clan of
Chaudhris and you will certainly honour your pledge". I promised Maulana
to lead life free of alcohol and other vices. People told me a number
of cases where addicts and criminals changed themselves altogether after
acting upon the advice of Maulana Saheb I went with a Jamaat for 40
days. When I returned Maulana Saheb asked my future programme and
suggested me to teach children at Sonipat. After one year I was married
to a religious educated Muslim lady of Sakauti. I was very happy to see
change in myself and thanked Maulana Saheb for reforming me. My mother
also came and was very happy to see my wife. My wife served my parents
well. My father told the Maulana Saheb that panchayat of my village
declared me an outcaste or Adharmi and asked my father to take stern
action against me. But my father refused bluntly and told them that
conversion was not a crime and that I as a free citizen could choose any
faith. He further warned then that in case of further pressure and show
of displeasure he would also become a Muslim and leave the village. He
also threatened to report the matter to high police officials. Now I am
well settled in Sonipat and along with my wife am teaching children.
Women and residents of my mohalla and Madarsa love and respect me for my
religious zeal and good way of life. This is all due to blessings of
Allah.
Q: Did you come across with some difficulty after embracing
Islam?
A: Ahmed Bhai, at the time of recitation of Kalma Maulana Saheb
explained to me that Islam was a religion of peace and it expects every
Muslim to work for peace and tranquility. In reply to my queries about
terrorism and other conflicts and disputes hovering over the world the
Maulana Saheb convinced me that false propaganda was made against
Muslims and Islam. But Islam is still flourishing because Allah does not
like breach of peace and conflicts. He told me that aggressive American
soldiers who committed a number of atrocities in Iraq, Afghanistan and
other countries are embracing ISLAM. I personally feel the advantages of
my Conversion. Now, people love and trust me and seek my counsel. I
have not come across with any problem and an enjoying the blessings of
Allah in my life.
Q: Have you extended Dawah of Islam to your parents?
A: My mother is inclined towards Islam but due to family pressure she
has not declared it openly. One of my brothers and a nephew has become
Muslim. I hope a number of my friends would soon embrace Islam. I pray
for the guidance and IMAN of all relatives.
Q: Do you want to give some
message through ARMUGHAN?
A: I want to say that Islam stands for peace.
All Muslims should offer prayers and extend Dawah to non Muslims. For
world peace, establishment and expansion of Islam it is essential. It is
unfortunate that Muslims are being harassed through false cases. A
Muslim can never be terrorist or a tyrant. We should devote ourselves to
Tabligh. Was-Salam.
