| by Sikandar Ali The forces of good and evil are always at war with each other in this world. These forces use to create different characters which, with the time being, come at this land in different shapes. It is something natural that these characters grow up in separate environment the nature of one character is different from other. Then the time comes when both reach at examination center. There is a big difference between these characters. One becomes favorite to God and the other dies forever. One is Abraham and the other is Numrood. Ghazi Mureed Hussain is one of these favorite and sacred characters who sacrificed his life for the love of Holy Prophet (PBUH). Almost fifty kilometers to the North of Rawalpinid, there is a region, known as Dhan. From the North East of famous City Chakwal, and Six kilometers towards Choah Sadan Shah, there is village, named Bhalla. Mureed Hussain belonged to this village and Kahooat family. He was born on 24th Feb 1914. His father Abdullah was a great land owner and numberdar of the village. He was only five years old when his father died and the entire burden of bringing this child up was shifted to his mother`s shoulders. He got his religious education from the khateeb of the mosque, Syed Mohammad shah. He completed his primary education from kariala. For getting more education, he got admission in G. H. S. Chakwal. He passed his matriculation in 1933-34 with brilliant marks. At that time, there was no proper arrangement of higher education. The burden of domestic duties was also increasing day by day, so he decided to finish his education at that stage. As he was a great land owner, he had to adopt the profession of farming. But he kept himself in touch with books. He read newspapers and was fully aware of current affairs. A great personality of Chishtian, Hazrat Khawja Abdul Aziz (May God bless him) of Chachar Shrief district Sargodha was at higher spiritual post at that time. Mureed Hussain turned to Khawja Sahib for extinguishing the fire of spiritualism. He was engaged to his cousin Amir Bano since his childhood. His mother compelled him and he was married in 1935. Mureed Hussain loved Holy Prophet (PBUH) with full devotion and spent much of time in the worship of God Almighty. God liked the ways and manners of Mureed Hussain and conferred upon him a great and high post. In 1936, newspaper "The Zamindar" published a news "Palool's Ass". According to this newspaper, the incharge doctor of Animal hospital Palool, Ram Gopal named his ass with the name of Holy Prophet (PBUH). With the publication this news, Muslims all over the world were so much annoyed and felt great concern and furcated. They raised many strikes British government, instead of punishing Hindu Doctor, transferred him to Nornond district Hassar which was more safe place for him,. The disobedience of Ram Gopal was not a trivial incident but intolerable for a true Muslim. Every lover of Holy Prophet (PBUH) burned in fury and indignation. He made up his mind to scarify his life but determined to teach the lesson to this shameful and wrong doer. so that no one could do this kind of act in future. He gathered information to kill the doctor. He reached Delhi via Lahore because he could plan better to kill him. After staying few days at Dehli he went to Nornond. He attacked Ram Gopal with full courage and openly on 7th August 1936 and sent him to the hell. He did not run away after killing him and few hours later police came and arrested him. So Mureed Hussain was changed into Ghazi Murred Hussain. The murder of Dr. Ram Gopal caused a great mourning and bewailing in Hindus. On the other hand, Muslims were happy and thankful to Ghazi Mureed Hussain who without caring for his life, performed a great duty. Dr. Ram Gopal belonged to higher sect of Hindus. The law suit was carried on against Ghazi Mureed Hussain and judges of their favor were appointed in the court of Hassar. Due to prejudiced Hindu judge, Mureed Hassain bycotted. This made the judge more angry and he gave him punishment of death. In session court, the appeal was accepted. Many Muslims advocates advocated for Mureed Hussain. They told him that could be saved but he always confessed boldly and clearly. So he was given death punishment. In Lahore high court, finally, appeal was submitted. Many efforts were made and different methods were adopted to change the statement of Mureed Hussain but he remained very firm. Even, at last, the struggle of declaring him mad was made and he was sent to mental hospital Lahore. But he refused to become mad for saving life. So high court restored the previous decision and Ghazi Mureed Hussain accepted it very boldly and happily. He was hanged to death on 24th of September 1937 on Friday. This was the happiest day for Ghazi Mureed Hussain because he was going to the heaven to meet his God and his Prophet (PBUH) for ever. He was offering darood and salams. After this his sacred body was brought to his native village Bhalla where he was buried in " GHAZI MAHEL" to the North of Bhallah. In this way he proved that it is the dignity of true servants of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) not to hesitate to scarify their lives. Ghazi Mureed Hussain is alive. Thousands of people come to his mazar to pay tribute to him with complete devotion and love. | | | | | |
