Shahid Baltistani

A believer debates a man who doubts the existence of the hidden Imam. He explains that faith in the Imam is the path to knowing Allah.

Ek Mufti Muje Dosto Kal Raat Mila Tha Mehdi Ka Mukhalif Tha Ye Chehre Pe Likha Tha Imaan Pe Mere Zarb Lagane Pe Tula Tha Mai Uske Irade Pe Bohot Dil Me Hasa Tha

Friends, last night I met a Mufti, His opposition to the Mahdi was written on his face. He was bent on striking a blow at my faith, And I laughed deeply at his intentions.

Kehta Tha Ye Ghaybat Muje Afsana Lage Hai Maine Kaha Tu Bhi Muje Deewana Lage Hai Har Chiz Nazar Aaye Zaruri Nahi Mufti Hoore Bhi Nahi Dekhi Hai Imaan Hai Phir Bhi

He said, 'This occultation (Ghaybat) seems like a myth to me.' I replied, 'You seem like a madman to me too.' 'Mufti, it is not necessary that everything must be visible, You have not seen the Hoors (of Paradise), yet you still have faith.'

Ashabe Kahf Per Bhi Tuje Shak Nahi Koi Phir Kyu Na Zahanat Bhi Hase Aql Pe Teri Tu Jisko Gumaan Maan Raha Hai Wo Yaqeen Hai Shaytan Ka Qael To Hai Mehdi Ka Nahi Hai

You have no doubt about the Companions of the Cave (Ashab-e-Kahf), Then why should intelligence not laugh at your intellect? What you consider a mere suspicion is actually a certainty, You believe in the existence of Satan, but not in the Mahdi.

Ye Sunke Hi Marne Laga Wo Bugz Ka Maara Baaz Aaya Nahi Fir Bhi Wo Shaytan Ka Pyara Ek Baar Kiya Fir Use Zillat Ne Ishara Aur Haath Rakhe Dil Pe Wo Chillaya Bichara

Hearing this, the one struck by malice began to thrash about, Yet that beloved of Satan did not desist. Once again, humiliation signaled to him, And placing his hand on his heart, the poor wretch screamed.

Is Waqt Bata Mujko Tera Mehdi Kaha Hai Maine Kaha Allah Jaha Hai Wo Waha Hai Ye Sunke Wo Kehne Laga Tauba Ha Re Tauba Mehdi Ko Tu Allah Ke Jaisa Hai Samajta

'Tell me right now, where is your Mahdi?' I said, 'Wherever Allah is, he is there.' Hearing this, he began to say, 'Repent, oh repent, You consider the Mahdi to be like Allah.'

Maine Kaha Padh Likh Ke Bhi Jaahil Hai Tu Beta Kya Khaak Teri Aql Ne Allah Ko Jaana Gar Uska Wali Haaziro Naaziro Nahi Hoga Allah Ke Hone Ka Pata Kaise Chalega

I said, 'Even after reading and writing, you are ignorant, son. What have you truly understood of Allah with your intellect? If His representative (Wali) is not omnipresent and witnessing, How would one ever know of Allah's existence?'
