168 – the story of al-haj Rashid ahmad american When I asked him if he was alone, I heard another voice telling him to say that yes, he was alone. N u r-ul-Isl a m replied, “Yes, I’m alone. ” However, having heard the second voice I knew that was not true. I then told N u r-ul-Isl a m that it was late and he should come back at another time. He then said, “Brother Rashid, do you remember all the times you came to the mosque and I opened the door for you?” I said, “Yes, I remember, but it’s late and you should really come back at another time. ” I then heard the other voice say, “The revelations say, ‘Brother, kick it down. Kick it down. ’” He was a strong man and he began kicking in the door. I immediately called his brother, Sir a j-ul-Isl a m, and informed him of the situation. Sir a j told me that if they were kicking in the door, I should know what to do: call the police. I then called the police and by the time the police arrived, the door was busted in and they all walked in together, three policemen and the two men breaking in. The police asked me what the problem was. I replied, “Don’t you see? You walked in without me opening the door as did the two men with you, so this is breaking and entering. ” The police then asked me what I wanted. I said I wanted them out of here. The police asked me to sign the complaint. At that point, N u r-ud-D i n, the second man who claimed to receive divine revelations, announced that he just received another revelation saying, “If you sign those papers, you will die tonight. ”
