remembering Allah.

Karamat:
He had a brother in Badaun, He used to visit him in Badayun
every year. Once both the brothers went to meet Shaikh Ali
who belonged to a rich family. Out of respect, they took off
their shoes a few steps before reaching the floor. So they first
placed their feet on the floor and then on the prayer mat on
the floor. Shaikh Ali was annoyed by this and said that this is a
sack of prayer mat on which both the brothers sat. A book was
kept in front of Shaikh Ali. He asked which book was this.

Shaikh Ali did not give any answer without any animosity. He
then said, “If you permit me, I will see the book.” Taking
permission, he opened that book. When he opened the book,
he saw that it was written in it that “In the end times, there will
be such Mashaikh (holy person) who will commit sins in
solitude and if someone’s foot falls on their floor in the
gathering, they will bring about doomsday.” He opened that
book. He gave it to Shaikh Ali, Shaikh Ali was remorseful after
seeing that writing and he sought forgiveness from him.
