| Bala�am Ba�ur hath won his people�s hearts
His people hath truly held him in Jesus� regard Not anyone but him they would counsel with He would spiritually heal people, revive the spirit His talent and pride would fight against Moses We�ve been told he was ruined and devastated Millions of Balams and devils in this world are roaming Some are famous and some infamous for their working Allah hath given these two the fame extraordinary So they must stand as evidence in human history When dacoits are killed in the jungle by police Dragged to the village are some of their corpses Publicly in the village these corpses are hanged The villagers must watch intently their bitter end These two thieves God has hanged high in the world Though like them have been abundant in the world Their forelock has been the witness of their fate (1) Eliminated by Divine Wrath none can enumerate Thou art the beloved, but watch thy limits carefully Enter not God�s domain; do not cross thy boundary If thou had but challenged the Almighty�s trust Thou to the lowest layer of earth He will thrust Why the story in Qura�n of Aad and Thamud ? So that you may learn whom Prophets valued All these signs of swallowing, stoning and storm God�s spirit of self-righteousness do they adorn When it is lawful to kill animals for human beings For Khalif can be murdered thus all human beings |

| Bala�am Ba�aur was a pious man. He lived in Canaan in the city of Jabreen, when Joshua at command of Moses had attacked Canaan. The citizens of Jabreen had pleaded before him that he must pray for the retreat of Joshua. He had prayed for the defeat of the attackers, but it did not happen as Allah had not willed so. Therefore in state of jealousy and revenge he turned against Bani Israeel. He conspired against him and encouraged the army to indulge in adultery. One of the commanders committed adultery, the rest followed him. It had been cause of plague which had killed thousands of people in the region.
Though Qazi Sajjad had told us that Moses attacked Canaan, but there is no evidence of this sort in Qura�n or in history. So �Moses� represents truthfulness of Moses� religion. Rumi has repeated Qura�nic evidence many times that when nations do not regard adultery as sin and fornication as evil, they are destroyed with some plague or some other epidemic; even a natural catastrophe may befall them and destroy them. |
| It has been related that Balam and his friends were defeated and Balam had a very bad end. He had lost his consciousness and he would roam like mad and crazy persons on the streets of town panting and his tongue being hung out of his mouth like a dog.... A dog is always panting and its tongue is hanging out reflect its greed, similarly a worldly priest can never be satiated. Who is proud of his knowledge and does not submit before Divine knowledge. They misled people and are cause of their ruin and destruction. They distort and fabricate Divine Law and Allah says: 2:65. And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath: We said to them: "Be ye apes, despised and rejected." See Surah Baqra Chapter no. 2 of Holy Quran ....verses 75-81 to learn more about misconcieving and use of conjecture in interpretation of Holy Quran.... |
