Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
JAZZALLAHU ANNA SAYYEDINA MUHAMMADAN MA HUWA AHLAHU
MANAM SAGHE DARBARE JILANI
An astrologer presented himself in the court of AlaHazrat Radi Allahu anhu. AlaHazrat Radi Allahu anhu asked him, `Tell me, what is the situation of the rain?` After working out the position of the stars, the astrologer said, `There is no water in this month. There will be in the next month.` AlaHazrat Radi Allahu anhu said, `Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is all powerful. If He wishes, it may rain now. You are observing the stars and I am observing the power of the maker.` AlaHazrat Radi Allahu anhu then looked towards the clock and asked, `What time is it?` The astrologer replied, `Quarter past eleven.` AlaHazrat Radi Allahu anhu asked, `How long until it is twelve o`clock?` He replied, `Forty-five minutes.` AlaHazrat Radi Allahu anhu asked, `Can it be twelve before forty-five minutes?` He replied no. AlaHazrat Radi Allahu anhu walked up to the grandfather clock and moved the big hand of the clock until it was on the twelve, thus showing twelve o`clock. The clock began to chime. AlaHazrat Radi Allahu anhu then said, `You said that it would not be twelve before forty-five minutes so how is it twelve o`clock?` The astrologer replied, `You altered the position of the hand on the clock otherwise it would have taken forty-five minutes for it to be twelve o`clock.` AlaHazrat Radi Allahu anhu said, `Allah is all powerful and He may alter the position of the stars whenever He wishes. You are talking about it raining next month but if Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala wishes it would start raining at this very moment.` AlaHazrat Radi Allahu anhu had just said this that it began to rain!
