13. An Alim's Rebuttal of One Who Claimed To be God

My Murshid, Hazrat Shah Abdul Ghani Saheb (

) mentioned that in one village there was an imposter who used to tell people that he is God. Many people had brought faith upon him. One Alim told his wife to gather some 3 to 4 day-old food that had gone bad and bring it to him. He then put that food in a container and took it to the imposter. He presented the container to him saying, ‘I have brought this food for you.’ When the imposter opened the container, his head spun due to the horrible smell of the rotten food. He then said to that Maulana Saheb, “You have committed blasphemy to your lord by bringing this rotten food!” Maulana Saheb replied, “You have supposedly made the claim of god-hood and God is the giver of sustenance. Thus, whatever sustenance you have granted me, I have but presented that before you.”
