KINGDOM OF SATAN ON EARTH

By: IMRAN GHAZI

It was unanimously decided to arrange the meeting in the deep sea on a warship. Still there was a glitch no Muslim country had a warship that could hang out in the deep seas, Pakistan hired one from U.S.A, and the Muslim world met Satan on a hired ship. Satan offered Muslims return to their glory in lieu of their open support. Satan Said” I will destroy the Christians and the Jews, and you will rule this world”. Muslims conferred and a young Kurd announced the decision to Satan” Satan do you remember in the last century you fooled us in the name of nationalism, we followed you and dismembered the Khilafat, from that day our slide started and continues to this day. We were a single unit then and now are a divided lot, we won’t follow you again. Even if you destroy Christians and Jews our problems will persist for we are our own enemies, we have nothing to do with you, we are in search of a Saladin who will unite us and take us to new glory.” Satan was exhausted and preparing to tender an unqualified apology .Just then a trusted aide rushed in to announce that he had found a race who can side with Satan. He started to explain” There is a place in the Himalayas called Kashmir, people there are living in misery since centuries, they are afflicted with poverty, disease and hunger and are desperate for deliverance, we can use there desperation to our advantage. They have struggled hard to come out of misery but the moment their deliverance is round the corner they deviate from the path of struggle hence their continued misery. I have recruited an able local to prepare the ground for our work and we must rush before it is late.”Satanic delegation rushed to Srinagar the Capital and almost crash landed. Local aide Abil joo welcomed them, Satan urged him to arrange a meeting with Kashmiri leadership. Abil joo smiled and said” we don’t have a leadership”. Satanic delegation was surprised to hear this, then how can we be assured of your support. Abil joo had a plan accordingly a public meeting was called on Friday to be addressed by Satan. Word went around Satan had come to change the destiny of Kashmir for better. On the appointed day there was a sea of people, whole Kashmir assembled on the banks of Dal Lake. Satan rose to address the gathering” I have come to give you deliverance from your miserable life, you will drink from fresh springs, stars will enlighten your dark homes and alleys, Kashmir will be Switzerland of Asia and Srinagar the Venice of East, only you have to support me. There was a buzz in the crowd. I will ban all virtues and vice will be obligatory. Drinking, gambling will be promoted, prostitution legalised…there was pandemonium in the crowd Satan grew pale with fear ,his brow perspired ,sensing trouble Abil joo rose and said” This a critical moment in our history, let us not loose our nerve. Satan has been sent by God Almighty to liberate our body and soul, he is our prayers answered. Holding the divine order Satan had with him he said “If we support Satan as per the divine order in my hand we will be spared of retribution in this world, as far as day of judgement is concerned we will seek forgiveness from God and he is merciful. We are already afflicted with vice, now that vice will be obligatory, we can always plead with God that it was not our fault but the dictate of the ruler. This is a golden opportunity lets grab it with both hands.”There was a buzz in the crowd, just then someone shouted ZAROOR(We will),and there was only one voice to be heard ZAROOR. Satan was over joyed and preparing to convey to God that he was ready to prove his representative character. Angels conveyed the development to the God Almighty and a single line statement was issued” One who creates only knows what he has created .Due to unavoidable circumstances the Elections to Prove representative character of Satan are postponed till further orders .”Same was posted on the notice board of the celestial secretariat. Satan arrived only to read the notice, and he left smiling. what if he had lost the chance to prove his representative character on earth, taking advantage of desperation of Kashmir’s he had found his kingdom on earth.
