ni Abdi wake – Anampa siri zake anamwendesha sio mwendo
anaowaendesha watu wengine.
Imetoka: “Masjidil Haraam Ilal Masjidil Aqswa Alladhii
ba-rakna hawlahu”. Akasema mpaka akalia akaliza watu
nakumbuka ni katika mambo nlomuandikia Al-Habib Barua
nilipokua kule na kitu kingine nilichomuandikia ni mkutano wangu
na Yusuf Aly, Mkutano wangu na Yusuf Aly alo Translate Quran,
na Translation yake ndo inohishimiwa sana.
Nilikwenda nkamtafuta nnamuulizia nkaambiwa yuko
England, wapi,! ikabidi nizunguuke nnamtafuta hata nkapambana,
nkaambiwa nenda mahali fulani labda utamkuta.
Hapo nkenda nkaonana nae - Ni klabu ya watu wanofanya
kazi katika Empire, Empire Club. Nilipokwenda nikaonana na
Receptionist akaniambia: “Je nani, yule Mzee anokaa pale afanzi
lolote anajikalia tu?” Nikamwambia: unaona ni wewe tu kua
kajikalia, ni yeye nnahaja nae. Nkaenda nkaja siku nyingine
nikampata nikamwambi: “Nna haja na wewe”. Akaniambia: “Ndo
wewe ndo unaekuja hapa ukiniuliza nimeambiwa?” nikamwambia
“Naam” “Njoo unataka nini - Come Along what do you want?”
“Sit down” Nkamwambia: “I have read your translation of the
Quran and I was very much Impressed, very much indeed I
Admire you”. I thought since you are here - still I must come
and see you”. He was Old man Almost mystical, kua sufi mkubwa
kawa na Mnyezi Mungu tu hata kusema na watu hasemi na watu.
Akanambia “Naam - Yes you are right”. Nkamwambia: “Nadhani
ulivokua ukiandika tafsiri ile umemuona usingizini Mtume mara
nyingi”. Akanambia:-
“Yes, and I saw him, I felt this was coming from
Heaven to tell me what I should Write and I wrote
that tranlation it took me three years to write the
translation. I was going round and round, I was
busy writing the translation and I visited almost
every place mentioned in the Qur an in my attempt
to write that translation”
Nikamwambia: “What are you doing here, you are so old?”
akanijibu: “Yes where shall I go? Lahor used to be a city of
Islam, Now It‟s no longer. I have a small room here by myself
