The opposition between Allah Mian and iblis has caused my life to swing like a pendulum. My childhood perception of Allah Mian was something similar to that of Mumtaz Mufti saab. He goes like this , Firstly, Allah Mian is big read huge " Allah mian sab se bara ha" . Secondly, Allah Mian was supposed to get angry very quickly especially with children, " shararten na karo Allah Mian naraz ho jae ga" ," shor na karo Allah Mian naraz ho jae ga" , " bahar na jao Allah Mian naraz ho jae ga". Thirdly, once Allah Mian got angry he would throw any and all that made him angry into hell.
This sort of image of Allah Mian is bound to create a fear of Allah Mian in the hearts of children and so was the case with me. I was afraid of Allah Mian but the problem was that I was also afraid of the dark, my father, heights, cats, and many other things and people. My natural reaction to fear was to avoid all such things that I was afraid of. Therefore a certain gap was created between me and Allah Mian and it remained so until I happened to read Mufti Saab who was of the view that we are supposed to love Allah Mian instead of being afraid of him.
Thank You
ALLAH MIAN........................................................................................ for sending in people like Mufti Saab.
