A Short Biography of Allamah Nasir al-Din Nasir Hunzai - Beginning of the Chinese Revolution
Beginning of the Chinese Revolution
"The Chinese revolution began just twenty (20) days after our arrival in Yarkand. Mr. Fath `Ali Khan was arrested. I did not see him in China thereafter. After a few days, the chain of my arrest and release also started. However, I continued serving the jama`at with Mawla's luminous help".37
"By God, the Almighty's grace and generosity, success was constantly continuing. But alas! Is there a place free of envy and jealousy? Where is a place free from opposition? Is there a community in which there is no tug of war between progress and conservatism? Thus, some people began to say that jama`at-khanahs were not possible in their country, because it would expose our religion and consequently the jama`at would suffer. I humbly told them: 'Sir! The farman to establish jama`at-khanahs is not new, but has been there from 1923 when Pir Sabz `Ali (qaddasa'llah sirrahu) had come to you. I do not believe that the jama`at will suffer because of the construction of jama`at-khanahs. Even if such a thing happens in the beginning, the jama`at will receive a great spiritual reward for it. Furthermore, the identity of our jama`at will become known to others, it will be introduced to them'. However, they were not happy and tried several times to prove that I was a spy, and threatened severe punishment from the government. The Chinese government, however, does not punish anyone without proper investigation and proof of guilt. Yes, it is true that when two such kinds of opponents [i.e., one from among the jama`at and the other from outside the jama`at] reported to the government against me, I used to be detained or imprisoned, but it was neither a rigorous imprisonment nor in a jail. It used to be only solitary confinement, which, al-hamdu li'llah, used to provide the perfect time and place for supplication in the court of God, the Fulfiller of needs, and His worship and constant remembrance, the like of which is impossible to find. The heart constantly weeps in gratitude for the wisdom-filled rain of His grace and generosity that pours down in every such confinement".38
