Truthfulness of Hazrat Abdul Quadir Zilani

In his boyhood, Hazrat Abdul Quadir Zilani was going to Baghdad for education. On the eve of his departure from home, his mother said to him, “My son, never tell a lie and don’t get frightened in danger.” Baghdad was far away from his home. He began his journey in the company of a band of merchants. The way was infested with robbers. After five days a gang of robbers fell upon the travellers. One of the robbers caught hold of the boy.

The gang leader noticed this and said, “Let the boy go. He has nothing with him.” At this, the boy replied, “No, you are mistaken. I have forty gold coins sewn inside my sleeves.” The leader was surprised and asked why he had revealed the truth instead of hiding it. The boy answered gently that his mother had advised him never to tell a lie, and he could not disobey her instruction.

Hearing this, the gang leader was deeply moved. He realised how a young boy’s honesty and courage could outshine the cruelty of robbers. A sudden change came over him. He gathered all his men and declared that they would give up robbery forever. Inspired by the boy’s truthfulness, they promised to lead a righteous and honest life.

The merchants were astonished at the transformation. They blessed the boy and continued their journey safely. Hazrat Abdul Quadir Zilani reached Baghdad and pursued his education with sincerity and devotion. His truthfulness became a shining example for generations to follow.
