Resolution of the Doubts of Emperor Sikandar

Resolution of the Doubts of Emperor Sikandar

Question- Emperor Sikandar Lodhi asked Kabir Allah, “O Nurturer-of-all! (A) Who is this power – Brahm (Kaal)? (B) Why does he not come in front of everyone?”

Answer: Supreme God Kabir narrated the Creation of Nature in response to the questions 'A and B' of Emperor Sikandar Lodhi. (Please read Creation of Nature).

(C) Were great men like Baba Adam also caught in his trap?

In reply to C, Supreme God Kabir said, “It is written in the Holy Bible, in the topic of Genesis that the Supreme God, having created human beings and other creatures in six days, went and took rest on the throne. After that, Brahm took up the reins of this world. He has pledged that he will never come in front of everyone. Therefore, he keeps getting all the work done through his three sons (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv) or by himself entering someone's body, speaks like a ghost, or gives orders through an ethervoice. The spirits of phantoms, Pitras (deceased ancestors) and other deities (angels) also enter someone's body and give their orders. But the devotees do not realise who this power is who is speaking. Supreme God did not order to eat meat. In Holy Bible, Topic Genesis, the first and last commandment of the Supreme God regarding the food of all beings is that fruitful trees and seedy plants have been given as food to human beings and to other living beings, small plants i.e., grass, shrubs etc. have been given to eat. After this, the command of the Complete God is neither in the Holy Bible nor in any of the Kateb (Taurat, Injil, Zaboor and Quran Sharif). In these books, there is a mixed knowledge of the orders of Brahm, his angels, Pitras (deceased ancestors) and ghosts.

(D) Was there creation even before Baba Adam?

Answer – There was a King Nabhiraj in the Suryavansh. His son was King Rishabhdev, who is considered the founder of Jainism and the first Tirthankar. The same Rishabhdev became Baba Adam. (This description is written on page 154 of the book of Jainism "Aao Jain Dharm Ko Jaane” [Let Us Know About Jainism].)

It is clear from this that there was creation even before Baba Adam. Most of the land on earth was uninhabited. The people of different regions also did not know who lived where. At such a place, Brahm again created human beings etc. He did creation in such a place which was disconnected from other people. This virtuous soul (Baba Adam) had come from the world of Brahma, the son of Kaal, to lead life as per his previous deeds. Then because of not getting scripture-based method of worship, he attained life of a Pitra (spirit of deceased ancestor) after death and went to Pitra Lok. There were angels prior to Baba Adam. It is written in the Holy Bible.

(E) If Allah commanded humans not to eat meat, how was it written in the Bible and the Quran?

Answer: In the Holy Bible, it is written in the topic of Genesis that the Supreme God created the universe in six days and rested on the seventh day. After that, the angels of the Avyakt (Unmanifested) Allah (Kaal), and the Pitras (spirits of deceased ancestors) etc. have given their orders to Baba Adam and the other prophets that have later been written down in the Quran Sharif and the Bible.

(F) The Avyakt (Unmanifested) God Kaal has hidden all this real knowledge, then why did he indicate the Supreme God?

Answer: Jyoti Niranjan (God who is believed to be unmanifested) due to fear of the Supreme God cannot hide that the Supreme God is someone else. He is unaware of the actual method of worship of the Supreme God. Therefore, he only imparts the knowledge of his own worship, and sings the glory of the Supreme God.

The Emperor of Delhi, Sikandar, thought, “Let me take this God to Delhi. The people there may also unite by coming to the feet of this God. This conflict between the Hindus and the Muslims might end. If anyone listens to the thoughts of Lord Kabir, he too will be saved.” Emperor Sikandar Lodhi prayed, “O Embodiment of Allah! O Nurturer-of-all! Please grace us by coming to Delhi with us once." Lord Kabir said to Sikandar Lodhi, “First, take initiation from me, then I can go with you. Otherwise, I will not go.” Sikandar said, “Benefactor, I will do as you say.” Lord Kabir said, “One, you will not convert from Hindu to Muslim.” Sikandar said, “I will not convert them.” Lord Kabir said, “You will not get any creature killed.” Sikandar said, “Lord, I will not kill any creature, nor will I ask anyone to kill. But these Mullahs and Qajis are out of my control.” Lord Kabir said, “That is fine, but you will not tell anyone to do so.” Sikandar said, “Alright, Lord.” In other words, Lord Kabir told him all the rules and Sikandar accepted them all. He took initiation from Supreme God Kabir and vowed to follow all the rules for life.

Then Satgurudev (Lord Kabir) after granting the first mantra to Sikandar Lodhi departed with him for Delhi. Emperor Sikandar made Supreme God Kabir sit with him in the howdah (carriage) on the back of the elephant. No one could sit in it except the king. But Sikandar saw Allah who protected him from an incurable disease, who brought a dead person (Swami Ramanand) back to life in front of him.

When Shekhtaqi, the religious leader of Sikandar Lodhi, learned that the king had become healthy and in front of Sikandar, Supreme God Kabir resurrected Swami Ramanand Ji by reattaching his severed head, he thought, “Now I will lose my status i.e., my significance will reduce. I will lose my income and authority.” Shekhtaqi became jealous of Lord Kabir. He started plotting, “How do I humiliate Kabir so that he falls out of favour with Sikandar, and my supremacy prevails?” Everyone departed from there for Delhi with the Emperor. On the way in the night, they halted at the bank of a river thinking that they would rest there overnight. Intending to proceed in the morning, they encamped there.

Resurrecting a Dead Boy Named Kamaal

Shekhtaqi was roaming around with sullen resentment against Emperor Sikandar. Sikandar asked, “What is the matter Pir ji?” Shekhtaqi said, “Do you not know the matter?” Sikandar asked, “What is the matter?” Shekhtaqi said, “Who is this with you?” Sikandar said, “This is God (Allah).” Shekhtaqi said, “Okay, Allah has now started coming in form on the earth. How is he Allah?” Sikandar said, “Firstly, He is Allah because my illness was such that it was not getting cured by anyone. This Kabir God had only touched me, and I became healthy.” Shekhtaqi said, “These are magicians.” Sikandar then said, "Secondly, He is Allah in this way that I had beheaded his Gurudev and he immediately brought him back to life in front of my eyes."

Shekhtaqi said, “If this Kabir is Allah, then I will test him. If Kabir ji makes a dead person alive in front of me, then I will accept him as Allah. Otherwise, I will go to Delhi and tell the entire Muslim community that this king has become an (kafir) infidel.”

Sikandar Lodhi got scared lest Shekhtaqi should overthrow his kingdom as soon as he reached Delhi. (The bestower of the kingdom was sitting nearby and he was afraid of that fool.) The Emperor said to Shekhtaqi, “What will make you happy?” Shekhtaqi said, “I will be happy if this Kabir raises someone from the dead in front of me.” The Emperor told his problem to Kabir ji, “My Pir (religious leader) has said, “If Kabir resurrects a dead person in front of me, then I am ready to accept all his words. Otherwise, I will turn all Muslims against you.” He will put my kingdom at risk too.”

Lord Kabir said, “That is fine.” (Lord Kabir thought that this Shekhtaqi is an ignoramus. If he accepts my words, then majority of the Muslims will accept it as they follow him because he is the Pir of the Emperor of Delhi, and if he will explain everything properly to the Muslims then those innocent souls will get emancipated by doing true worship, because they believe their Pir quickly.)

Therefore, Lord Kabir said, “Shekhtaqi! Find a corpse.” In the morning, the corpse of a 10- to 12-year-old boy was found floating in the water. Shekhtaqi said, “There it is, a corpse. Raise it from the dead.” Lord Kabir said, “You may try first in case you claim later that you could have done it as well.” The ministers and soldiers present said, “Pir ji! You may also try.”

Shekhtaqi kept on chanting incantations. Meanwhile, the corpse floated three furlongs away. Shekhtaqi said, “Kabir wanted this crisis to be averted from his head. Do dead people ever become alive? The dead are only resurrected on doomsday.” Lord Kabir said, “Shekh ji! Sit down and keep calm.” Lord Kabir signaled that corpse with his hand to come back. The dead body of the twelve-year-old boy floated against the flow of the river and stopped in front of Kabir ji. The water currents were flowing underneath it and the dead body was stationary above. Lord Kabir said, “O Soul, wherever you are, by Kabir’s order, enter the dead body and come out.” As soon as Lord Kabir said this, the dead body trembled, the boy rose from the dead and came out. He prostrated himself at the feet of Lord Kabir. "Say- Glory be to Supreme God Kabir!"

All the people present there said, “Lord Kabir has performed a (Kamaal) miracle.” Lord Kabir named that boy Kamaal and kept him with him. He raised him like his own child and gave him initiation-mantra. After that, they all came to Delhi. Everybody came to know that this boy who is with them was resurrected by Supreme God Kabir. The word spread far and wide. Shekhtaqi felt extremely despondent. He thought, “This Kabir has become a big enemy. He has garnered even greater fame.”

Shekhtaqi's jealousy kept on escalating. His thirteen-year-old daughter was buried in a grave in the ground after her death. Shekhtaqi said, “If Kabir would resurrect my daughter, who has been buried in the grave, I will accept him as Allah.”
