Imam Ahmad al-Faruqi ibn ‘Abd al-Ahad as-Sirhindi (q.s.) was Imprisoned
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Imam Ahmad al-Faruqi ibn ‘Abd al-Ahad as-Sirhindi (q.s.) was so famous that the scholars of external knowledge in his time became jealous of him. They went to the ruler and told him, “He is saying things that are not accepted in the religion.” They pushed the ruler until he put him in jail. He stayed in jail for three years.
His son, Shaykh Sayyid ibn Ahmad(q.s.), said, “He was under strict security in jail. Guards surrounded his room on every side. Yet, every Friday, he would be seen in the big mosque. No matter how much security he was under, he would disappear from prison and appear in the mosque.” From this, they knew they could not put him behind bars and, therefore, they released him.
