kingdom that has no decline! Adopt truth in talk and actions! Tread the path of justice!
Allah has made you the leader of the pious and guide for the multitudes!”
Hearing this, Yuzasaf prostrated. The angel ordered him to guide the people and told him
that he must travel to other lands to spread the message!
Therefore, Yuzasaf determined to commence his journeys. He didn’t inform his people
about his intentions. At the appointed time the angel appeared again. Yuzasaf took his
courtier, his confidante, along. When he mounted the steed, a handsome nobleman held
the rein and asked, “ Where are you going leaving your subjects behind?” Yuzasaf tried to
calm him down saying, “ God is with you!” Yuzasaf started on his journey. After riding
for sometime, he sent the courtier back to the city along with the horse. He wanted to
journey on foot! The courtier said, “ O prince! The king would definitely execute me!”
Yuzasaf handed over his expensive raiment and the ruby to the courtier and asked him to
convey his greetings to the king. When Yuzasaf proceeded further he found delicious
fruits in the forest. He thought they were the tidings of prophethood. He received from
Allah the knowledge and information about the realm of the spirits.
Yuzasaf expressed gratitude for Balohar and riveted his attention to the cause of
reforming his loving father. He thought that bringing his father to the right path was the
first step towards achieving the blessing of the Hereafter!
Therefore, he sent a messenger to his father with fondest greetings and said that his
beloved son was abandoning the transitory wealth and pomp to prepare himself for the
immortal Hereafter. He desired that his beloved father too adopted the path to
righteousness. He told him that it was his first duty to bring one who loved him the most
to the right path!
The king heard the son’s message. He asked him to visit him. He got motivated to accept
the path of piety. Yuzasaf then traveled from city to city preaching the path of truth and
piety. He reached Kashmir in the end and motivated the entire population to the right
path. It was there that he breathed his last.
The messages that Yuzasaf communicated to the people were not the thoughts of a
philosopher but were the truths about piety, the Hereafter and straight forward and
attractive instructions. May Allah give the pious people opportunity to benefit from these
facts.
