The Vicious Plans of The British & The Indian Rajas‏ (Kings)

This was During the Mughal times.

Precisely this is reason both Allamah Iqbal  and Akbar Allahbadi wrote extensively. alerting us about this conspiracy.

But did we pay any attention to them? The proof is in the pudding!

The Tactics of the Hindu Rajas against Gharib Nawaz

The Hindu Rajas and the Magicians tried their utmost to foil and hinder the work of Hadhrat Khwaja Muinuddin Chisti  (rahmatullah alaihi) but they failed in all their efforts.

Just as Lord Macaulay planned 'to break the backbone' of Muslims and Indians in general by destroying spiritual and cultural heritage, the Indian Rajas were advised similarly to destroy Gharib Nawaz by enticing him away from spirituality and Islam. They concocted a plan. They arranged for beautful ladies to be at Anasagar lake when Gharib Nawaz would come for wudu. They knes this was the only way to allure him away from his mission.   However, Gharib Nawaz did not even glance at them and the plans of the Rajas failed.

However, the conniving plans of the British succeeded to a greater extent.

Eyes: Satan's Poisoned Arrows


It is stated that eyes are Satan's poisoned arrows. Satan readies himself and chooses his prey carefully. He is determined as he shoots the arrows of looks to go through your eyes, tearing the veils of modesty and chastity. This arouses the desires of the weak heart, which commands the body to pursue the satisfaction of such desires. The tongue speaks, the legs walk, and thus, unlawful acts are committed and the soul falls into the mire of sin.

In order to ward off this Satanic cycle, Allah The Almighty instructed his believing slaves, both men and women, to lower their gaze. He told them that this would purify them. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): 

{Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is acquainted with what they do. And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts.} [Qura'n 24:30-31]

A scholar has stated, “Look at the accuracy of the Qura'nic expression in the order to lower the gaze, as if Allah The Almighty reminds us that not lowering the gaze causes the doom of the doer and his suffering in this life and in the Hereafter. Failing to lower one’s gaze is the basis for the problems that afflict man. An unlawful look generates thoughts, then thoughts generate ideas, then ideas generate desires, then desires generate will, which develops into resolve and determination, then the action inevitably takes place if there is nothing to prevent it.”

O Muslim who does not lower his gaze, if your eyes roam around looking at the charms of beautiful women, you would plant in your heart thorns of loss and regret.

A  scholar, Al-Ameen Ash-Shinqeeti  has stated, "The verse contains a warning for the one who betrays with his eyes by looking at what is unlawful for him. The slave of Allah will stand before Allah and be questioned about his senses. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): 

{Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned.} [Quran 17:36]

If we are questioned on the Day of Resurrection about our stares and looks, have we prepared an answer for this?
