Emperor Akbar presented himself at the door of Shaikh Saleem Chishti (RA).
The desire was for the blessing of a son.
The Sage supplicated.
Allah(SWT) in His Mercy accepted the supplications and a boy was born in the royal house hold. Inheritor of one of the greatest empires seen by the history. The boy was named, of course, Saleem.
The history recognizes him as Jahangir.
And, like many gifts to history, Urdu literature also got one, among other things. It is called Adl-e-Jahangiri. Justice of Jahangir. But we digress.
Then another emperor walked into the courtyard containing Shaikh Saleem Chishti (RA)'s grave.
Something must have conspired there.
Those who have left this world have crossed the boundary of rewarding actions-accept for what continuing things they might have left.
But the new emperor, called Nicolas Sarkozy, too wanted a child.
And lo and behold Carla Bruni is expecting.
Your poor Alig too has an axe to grind.
Dear M. Sarkozy what about repealing that hideous anti-hijab law?
Let us understand it this way. Suppose lady Carla want to be attractive to other men also then it is an insult to you. Believe us, it is. If she has married you then it is obscene in the extreme that she should be seen attractive to others also. This is called modesty. Shaikh Saleem Chishti (RA) also thought in the same way. This is coming from a Chishti.
