Fruits of Honesty

Sincere Muslims invariably act upon Qur'aanic injunctions likethe following:
"0 you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to
Allah, even as against yourselves, or (your) parents or (your) kin…"
(surah 4;verse 35)
"And let not the hatred ofany people make you swerve to wrong and
depart from justice; be just, that is next to piety; and fear Allah…"
(surah 5;verse 8 )
And when you judge between mankind (Allah does command), that youjudge
with justice. " (surah 4;verse 58)
"Whatever you say, speakjustly, even if near relative is concerned…"
(surah 6;verse 152)
Once, during the early days of the British administration, in India,
there arose in Kandhla, inthe Muzaffarnagar District (ie. in the State
ofUttar Pradesh), a dispute between the Hindus and the Muslims over a
plot ofland which both of them claimed as their place of worship. The
English Collector of the district privately inquired from the Muslims
if they could name a Hindu in whose honesty they had full confidence,
so that that the case might be decided on the basis of his evidence.
The Muslimssaid that they knew of nosuch Hindu.
The collector then asked the Hindus whether therewas a Muslim upon
whoseword they would be willing to let the decisionof the dispute be
made. The Hindus said that, grave as the matter was, there was a
Muslim divine who had never uttered a falsehood and it could be hoped
that hewould not compromise his integrity over the issue in hand. The
Divine came from the family of Mufti Ilahi Bakhsh, who was a pupil of
Shah Abdul Aziz and a Khalifah of Sayyid Ahmed Shahid.
The Collector, thereupon, summoned him to his court, but he declined,
saying that he had swornnever to look at the face of an Englishman.
The Collector said that he need not look at his face if he did not
want to, but come he must, because the matter in dispute wasserious
and its settlementhinged on whether he came or not. At last, the
Moulana agreed. He camewith his face covered with a mask and stood in
the court, his back turnedtowards the Collector so that there could be
no possibility of his vow being broken. The case was explained to him,
and he was asked to state whether he knew anything about the ownership
of the plot. The Moulana declared that the plot in dispute belonged to
the Hindus; the Muslims had nothing to do with it. The Collector
decided accordingly. The Muslims lost the case, but 'truth' scored a
magnificent victory. A number of Hindus embraced Islam on that very
day at the hand of the Moulana.
Learning and wisdom were held sacrosanct in those days. Those who
occupied a high place in the field of learning werenot disposed to
sell their intellectual wealth at any price, because it was regarded
by them as a precious gift and a sacred trust of Allah. To lend one's
ability or knowledge , directly or indirectly, to serve the cause of
injustice and unbelief was in their view tantamount to an open
betrayal of religion.
