[Note from Hindu Vivek Kendra:
Allah be praised!]
Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf
has said that no one should doubt his Islamic integrity, since Allah has
bestowed him "with the blessings that very few people have been".
He claimed that on several occasions
when he went to offer prayers at major religious spots meant for Muslims,
the doors of these places automatically opened for him, and he offered
prayers in a special manner, compared to other devotees.
"I am not a scholar but no one should,
either, doubt my Islamic integrity. I am a Sayed. Secondly, Allah Almighty
has bestowed me with the blessings which very few people have been. Whenever
I went to perform Haj or Umra, the doors of 'Khanna-e-Ka'aba were opened
to me and I went inside Khanna Ka'aba six times. And, on one of these occasions
the 'door of forgiveness', which is inside the Khana Kaba, was also opened
for me and I raised 'Allah-o-Akbar' from the rooftop of Khanna Ka'aba from
where Hazarat Bilal called for prayers, the very first time."
Addressing his countrymen in a televised
address, Musharraf further said: And, whenever I pay respects at Madina
Sharif, the doors of "Rooza-e-Rasool" (Peace Be Upon Him) are opened for
me and I am honoured to have gone inside the Rooza-e-Rasool six times and
offered prayers. Allah Almighty blessed me with these opportunities."
"So, neither anyone should doubt
my Islamic integrity nor should there be any criticism on it," he added.
