'Abu, Son OfAdam'

'Prayer'

Children ofthe 'Yateemkana' (orphanage) should know their status

They cannot disturb the prayers

'Assalam Alaikum'

Wa-alaikumAssalam'

Where were you all these days Abu?

Been to Naadapuram and Kuttiyadi

How did your business fare?

Not bad, on the way stopped at Kallachi

Did you meet Aslamoideen?

He's very ill, hanging between life and death

Hope the good Lord calls him instead of making him suffer

When I went on mythird Hajj, Moideen was my companion

Always ready for anything

When Aslamoideen was head of Mohalla here..

..the prayer hall was always full

Finally he was chased awayfrom here

It's not right for him to walk around town with his arm over shoulders of youngsters

Neither does he have to be confined to the mosque eating chicken, biriyani squatting like a brooding hen

I'm not prepared to argue with you that too, on an empty stomach

Do you have some ofthose digestive tablets?

Last night I was tormented with gas in my stomach

Whatever I had is over May be there's more at home

I'll bring it over to your house

ok

Poor chap, he's fated to struggle for a living though old and feeble

Is there a son for 'Athar Abu'?

Sathar;, He was a driver in a home at Vadakara

They made him to marry a girl from that family and went to Gulf country

He is in Dubai now

Wherever After all? There was no benefit for Abu and lsu from their son in their lifetime

Khaidhar's teashop is like a library now

How many newspapers?

There is no use of reading a single newspaper nowadays

If ten newspapers are read, some truth will be known

Then you people will think how many newspapers have to be read,..

..so you will think out a cup of tea, which will make a business for me

Ashraf.... Please lower that volume

Ustad (seer) is there up!

When did Ustad come?

When I started out at dawn, he was bathing at the well

Why doesn't Ustad come to the mosque for his prayers?

Why don't you go find out? He's there upstairs

It is the matter between almighty and Ustad

You don't intertere in it, they share do whatever

Yesterday there were some visitors from Mattannoor to see him

Theywere out here waiting till I locked up for the night

Wonder if they met him finally

If Ustad did not live up there, will your tea shop close down?

Not onlythe tea shop, this entire village will wind up business

Have we not seen his wizardry all these years?

Did he not cure our barber Poker's daughter's madness?

Did he not trace Usman's missing bridegroom in Bombay?

Don't you know he has the 'Midas touch'?

He gave Johnson just a paltry sum

Today, he's a prosperous timber merchant..

..with his own saw mill, lands and all that wealth we see

Ashraf, serve this tea to everyone

Let me give this to Ustad

Hyder...

I've been traveling last 2 days

Journeys are ordained by Allah

Here, take this

The day before yesterday, I slept in the Meenangadi Mosque

Yesterday there wasn't a single bus this route due to strife in Paanoor

Ever since I met 'brother' Aslamoideen I'm disturbed

We are of the same age

You stay awayfrom that smoke

- Hot water is ready - Let the oil soak into my body

I forgot to tell you

I met this old friend of mine in the bus

He says the Hajj committee is inviting applications for this year's trip

It seems, they plan to take double the number of people this year

We should definitelytry this time

Do you think we can afford to?

God will show us a way

Although He has ordained it compulsory onlyfor the wealthy and healthy..

..it has been a lifelong dream to walk on that pious land before I die

To behold those divine sights to my heart's content

Even I have pleaded for onlythat in my prayers 5 times a day

Isn't God's eyes are always on us?

Definitely He will show us a way

You leave it there, I'll take it myself

Haven't I repeatedlytold you not to travel during nights?

Day by day business is declining

Only curious kids gather around mywares

Veryfew actually buy them

Nobodywants 'Attar' these days, They get perfume from the Gulf

Nobody's interested in reading the holy books

To everyone their own interest is important

I've not slept a wink last night, cold weather and the bumpy bus ride

Here, drink this up and then lie down for some time

No time to rest I need to see a few people

Give me that electricity bill

Let us not delay and pay a penalty

I've been noticing your stubborn and angrytantrums for some days

What's bothering you now?

What's happened here?

Last night, she spurned the bucket of feed and kicked at it

There's plenty of green grass in that meadow across

Why don't we allow her to graze there?

That place is full of snakes, Aisu Let her be here

How manytimes do I have to tell you to wear slippers when you step out?

Let me see if I can get some dry grass at the market

- When did you arrive 'brother'Abu? - This morning

Is it raining in those places you visited?

Couldn't step out because ofthe rains

After the Tsunami, rain and sunshine have become erratic

This is last month's moneyfor milk

Jalaja and children are coming tomorrow

Is it possible to get an extra bottle of milk until they leave?

Of course

She also asked ifthe jackfruit had ripened on that tree in your front yard

She used to be crazyfor that particular jackfruit

But nowthe crows are pecking them to bits

- Are you coming? - Oh yes, I'm also coming, Master

A single day of rain turns this road into a river

No vehicle is prepared to come this way

Kasim, it is easyfor you to say...

...but it's difficult to get labourers here

Things move only as and when they dictate

'Assalam Alaikum'

Wa-alaikumAssalam'

- Would you like a tender coconut? - No

Those digestion tablets

Onlywhen it's not there we realise it's value

Where is your next trip to?

Next week at Paalot mosque Mammu musaliar tomb

Annual rituals begin I have to go there

No, I'll take it later

I needed to know something

What is it?

Hajj committee has invited applications this year

Aisu and I would like to go this time

First, you have to apply

But, all those who apply need not be chosen, they pick lots

I have not gone on Hajj through the committee

All 4 times I've gone only through Akbar Travels of Kozhikode

I have a relative there

A young man, Ashraf

Tell him I personally sent you

With him, you can settle all accounts just before you board the plane

Do you have funds readyfor it?

Of course, your son Sattar is in Dubai

He must have decided to show

Usman of Paetta returned from the Gulf last week

He used to visit our Sattar

Usman said Sattar's eldest son looks exactly like you

His second son has started school

You switch off that light and go to sleep

He hasn't even bothered to bring his children here to us

He is ashamed to admit we are his parents

-Aishu -What?

Haven't you slept?

No

You should waken me early morning

I want to go to 'Calicut' market

You might not see the sandals ifyou put these Outside... ok

Sir, someone's here to see you

- Sir is free, you can meet him now - Where is he?

There

Yes, Ashraf here

Air lndia express flights have been cancelled last 2 days

There are people whose visa is on verge of expiry

I've sent some ofthem via Bombay

No, there's an additional flight it seems

I'll call by Afternoon and confirm

Sorry, what is it?

I'mAbu, I've come on Maliyakkal Asnair Haji's suggestion

This year myself and Aisu would like to go on Hajj

May God be with You

Haji would have told you about us

We don't treat this as mere business

Lodging facility is near Haram in Mecca

Good food, friendly Hajj group leaders and doctors..

..are our specialities

Do you own a passport?

No

No problem, we can easily get one

Raziya, please come here

Hasnar Haji is our permanent customer

This is Abu

He's a special person to me and will be in the Hajj tour this year

Give him details of getting a passport

- Go with her - Come

No, it'll reach by the evening flight

You can collect it in the evening

Return is via Bombay isn't it?

That ticket too has been arranged

Please sit

6 copies of photos for the passport

Ration card or lD card

School certificate or any attested document for age proof

Can you please write it all out for me?

Ustad...

What is it, Abu?

Why are you sitting alone like this?

When my mind is soaked with sadness like an incessant rainfall

I just come and sit here, alone

Ustad, do you also have sorrows?

You have onlyyour own miseries

But I have to bear the miseries of all who come to me seeking solace

I'd been to Kozhikode today

Aisu and I would like to go on Hajj this year

Are we destined?

Try, He is the one who decides

There isn't anything that you don't know

You found the lost temple idol from deep under the lake

One who has prophesied that, can also foresee my destiny isn't it?

These are not my prophesies

I'm only a mouthpiece

For some days, I've been deeply troubled

Please bless this talisman for me

Tying a talisman sanctified byyou gives me mental strength

We have to climb down the hill immediately They are coming

- Who? Who is coming? - I don't know

Some people are coming from south to see me

Their sorrows have reached me in this breeze before them

Come, let's go quickly

Cities are not what they used to be

Kozhikode too has changed with huge bridges, big buildings

Akbar Travels is also a big office with many employees

Ashraf is in charge there

He was very considerate when I said Haji sent me

I met master as soon as I returned

I showed him the paper that girl had given

Master's relation, a lawyer has promised to provide me the certificate for age proof

He asked me to meet him with the voters lD

Did the Ustad say anything else?

He asked us to try, has he not?

Let us try

There are so many people who cannot go in spite of having enough funds for it

Have you found some wayto raise money?

I've searched and found many options

Allah will surely show us one among them

Is this exclusivelyfor passport?

We are planning a Hajj trip this year

That's fine, you can go

- But, isn't this photo is for passport? - Yes

If so, both earlobes should be seen

Earlobes?

See...your earlobes have to be seen

That's right, now look here

Don't move

Got it

Now you look here

Be steady

Why so stiff, like you have swallowed a spear!

I'll give it

Ashraf

'Assalam Alaikum'

Wa-alaikumAssalam'

I've submitted all the papers

We'll get it done immediately

Did you meet Haji?

I did and also mentioned your visit

Passport formalities should be done immediately

This is Aisu

Shall I get you a drink?

No...This Hajj trip has been a dream for many long years

It will soon become a reality

Your Hajj journey in comfort is entirely our responsibility

Satisfied?

Keep this, in case you need any help

As soon as you get your passport bring an advance

Rest will be taken care

- Did you notice? - What?

Ashraf...

...doesn't he look like our son Sattar?

Don't delude yourself

There's no resemblance at all

Ashraf is a good man

Stop worrying like this Let your husband come back

You haven't stolen or looted, have you?

Don't you all know?

He will never willfully hurt even a grasshopper

Now we'll take leave

What happened, Aisu?

What is it?

I was weaving palm leaf

This man stood there and asked if this was VP house

So I said yes

Then he asked ifyou were here

I replied that you were away at Papanashery Katilapalli tomb for a ritual

Then he asked ifwe were permanent residents here and what your job was

So I asked who he was and what he wanted

He said he was a policeman But he wasn't in his uniform

He asked you to come to the police station as soon as you returned

Why Aisu?

Why does he want me at the police station?

I don't know

Didn't you ask?

I became speechless with fear when he said he was a policeman

Here, keep all this inside

Where are you off to now?

I'll be back soon

What is it 'brother'Abu?

I need your help, master

When I got back home just now Aisu was very agitated

A policeman had come and ordered me to come to the station

- Why? - I don't know, master

Some misfortune has fallen on us

I fear Sattar has got into some trouble

Times are bad Don't you read in the papers?

'Brother'Abu console yourself, we'll find a way

- Master? - What 'brother' Abu?

Will you come with me to the police station?

Of course, just wait a second I'll be back

Abu ofValiyaparambu?

- Father's name? -Adam

Abu, son of Adam

Who's Veettilepurayil Aisu?

Mywife

What's your occupation?

I sell 'Attar' and books

How manyyears were you in the Gulf?

No, I've never been to the Gulf

I heard you'd been abroad for some years?

I swear I've not been to any Gulf country

There appears to be a police case against you?

What was it?

Some 5 to 8 years back..

..a border dispute between me and my neighbor Sulaiman

'Kaka' Don't enact dramas with me

Don't make a fool of me

I've bought and sold many properties

Don't mess with me

I'll chop you to bits

Please don't, Sulaiman

What are you doing?

Later, the mosque committee moderated and solved the issue

It's been 4 to 5 years since Sulaiman sold everything and left this place

Don't you have a passport?

No, but I've applied for one

Why do you want one now?

Aisu and I want to go on Hajj this year

Your passport application needs police verification

That's whyyou were called here

People hold multiple passports in our country, master

When an enquiry comes people like us are harassed

'lt doesn't matter whether you go to hell or heaven after you die..

..undertaker should get money'

It is quite normal to bribe the police for a passport enquiry

By chance, ifyou get a passport without bribing

Surely, you'll be the first in this place to do so

Have I blundered, Hyder?

May be master's presence stopped him from asking you money

It was that policeman with the big moustache

Weak minded people, when they become policemen have to sport strong moustaches

Passport enquiry is the duty of special branch police

They do not wear uniforms

Kabir is on duty here nowadays

He does this, every now and then

Exactly! The very same person

This Hyder is so shrewd He notices so many details!

He is from south

He stays at a house on the way to Kunjipalli near Lakshamveedu

Where is that?

Don't you know patriot Sudhakaran's house?

No

Our martyr 'brother' Sudhakaran

Remember that leader who died in the blast while he was making the bomb?

It's the third house from his

With wide empty expanse of the sky above

And endless desert below

Please stop

What?

I'mAbu, who met you yesterday for the passport verification

Abu, son of Adam

Aisu and I are about to go on Hajj

I am ignorant in such matters

That's why I did not give this at the station

Will there be any more hitches for passport?

You don't have to worry at all

I'll handle it the way it should be

You can be sure the passports will reach your doorstep

Shining sparklers adorning your eyes

Honeyed waves of happiness spilling from your lips

You are the tune You are the rythm

Aisu...

What happened?

Nothing

I had a dream

What dream?

One which anyone would love to have

I dreamt of Beloved Prophet's tomb

You were also with me

When we stepped on the land of Medina we saluted our Prophet

Fearing to lose each other in that crowd we held hands tightly

To dream of our Prophet is a great fortune

I think we have been destined to actually step on that divine land

Postman Ananth told us that the passports are here

We've come to receive them

He'll be here only by 1 0;:00 a.m You can come later

Where should we go?

We couldn't sit and wait at home that's whywe are here

Why can't you just give it to us?

Does it require a time and place?

Calm yourself

Could you not have signed and received them yourself?

Which rule says that my passport will not be handed over to me?

Sometimes you behave like a small child, sit down

'Brother'Abu

Please sign here

Here

Sign here

Here, keep this for tea for my happiness

Don't touch Your hands will stain it

I suppose nothing will happen if you do

It is onlywhen I touch, it gets soiled

You look quite glamourous in this photo

Here, see it

'Brother' Abu is destined to go on Hajj this year

Tomorrow the passports are being sent to Mumbai for stamping

- Have you brought them? - Yes of course

Boss is in Mumbai

No

You can call and talk directly

No, I don't knowwhen he's expected here

Better you directlytalk to him about it That will be best

Let it be as we decided

I've brought some amount as advance

All are in notes of 10s and 100s

It is our savings of 1 0 to 12 years

Rasiya, come over here

Money, whatever the denomination

It's value doesn't change

Only the time taken to count will be more

These are their passports

Send them for stamping in the next batch

Issue a cash receipt for the amount

Get the dates for Hajj instruction classes

You can go with her

What is the matter, Hyder?

- Where were you? - I went to Kozhikode

Gone... Ustad is gone

I went up with tea in the morning

Ustad was lying dead

Two seperate villages are fighting for his body

Ustad is gone...

'Assalam Alaikum'

Wa-alaikumAssalam'

What happened?

This umbrella is broken

Where are you returning?

I was sitting near the mosque

I thought there would be students who studied in the mosque

Then only I came to know, students have gone to home due to two days leave

How's your business?

We are all old fashioned, my friend

We didn't keep up with changing times

Me with the umbrellas, you with your Attar box

Do you know?

Mohammed Kunjyu who used to sell rusks and biscuits at Madarasa..

..today he is the owner of 8 bakeries in town

His car sometimes hastens this way often splashing muck

Making money is indeed a talent myfriend

I took a loan on my house for two lakhs to get my daughter Sohra married

I need Rs.3500 every month to pay it back

I'm also trying to raise some money

Should give money and passport to travel agent

Balance also to be made

Its time for Asr

Howtime flies...

Shall we come After prayer?

Johnson?

He's over there

'Brother'Abu

Why are you here?

I'll come later ifyou are busy

Not busy at all, please come

After Ustad died I'm very disturbed

Everyday I light two incense sticks on his tomb before I go anywhere

You sit down Tell me why you have come

Aisu and I would like to go on Hajj

Jesus be with you Very good

What should I do for you?

Are you readywith the money?

No

I'm running around for that

There's a jackfruit tree in our front yard

I know, when I asked you a couple of years back..

..you refused, saying that it is kept for a purpose

That day has come

Take a look at that tree and give me the maximum price

I see it daily on myway

I don't actually need to see it, to fix its worth

Also this isn't a business deal for me

I'll pay you Rs.60,000 Is it okay?

Here is Rs.10,000

When do you want the balance?

Within 1 0 days

You go ahead with other arrangements

I'll payyou the balance bythat time

I sold the jackfruit tree to Johnson

For Rs.60,000

He gave me Rs.10,000 as advance

Help comes from most unexpected people at least expected times

I never thought we'll get so much

You keep this inside safely

If we get Rs.40,000 more we can paythe travel agent

We also need a small amount with us to bring back gifts for our friends

My jewels should fetch us about Rs.35,000, don't you think?

I remember all those sovereigns of gold which I either pawjed or sold

Theywere used for our needs in life and not squandered by you

Remember that chain weighing five sovereigns?

We had to sell it when Sattar was born

We still need about Rs.15,000 more

Aisu?

Why give it to me? Keep it with you

We'll be gone for a month

We would have had to give the cows to some one to take care

On lonely days, I used to talk to them

I did not see them as cattle

Our dreams are slowlyturning real

Money from your gold and this will be enough now

Balance can be got from Johnson..

..and paid to the agent just before we start our journey

Nowwe can confidently bid farewell and seek blessings from all

Ustad?

I saw...women and children weeping about their sorrows at your tomb

When it becomes too heavyfor you, isn't it here that you come?

I sold the tree to Johnson

sold Aisu's cows

Sold every gram of gold she possessed

We are now readyto go on Hajj

To bid farewell and seek forgiveness should be from you first, Ustad

With Allah's grace we will start by end of this month

If I have hurt you in some way I beg forgiveness

Bless us and be with us on our journey

'Assalam Alaikum'

'Hindu Chant'

Please sit

Milk at this hour?

We sold our cow

I milked her for the last time before they took her away

So, we don't get milk from tomorrow

I had thought of entrusting them to someone till we returned

But when we needed more money we had to sell them

- How long does this pilgrimage take? -Almost a month

I've heard that a Haji returning from Hajj is like a new born baby

That's true master, since we unburden ourselves

We came to bid farewell

With Allah's will we leave next week

Ifwe have hurt you in anyway please forgive us

What are you saying?

We have only good things to talk about you

We often say how both of you have lived all these years..

..without cheating or hurting anyone

That is life's mightiest prayer

Our good wishes are always with you

We praythat all goes well and you return fulfilled

Man is his selfish best in front of God

He has many things to ask for himself

Yet...when you reach there prayfor us also

Fencing all sides and converting your land from 5 to 1 0 cents

- That ploywon't work with me - Come, listen to me

You are as old as myfather

It's better for you to shift your fence

You cheating muslim!!

Growing your beard and praying 5 times a day won't make you a true muslim

You should lead a pious life

You son of a...

Where does Sulaiman who shifted from Kandankunnu live?

He's a real estate agent

See, that's the house

Please pack 1 kilo bananas and 1 packet biscuit

How much?

36 rupees

I bought 1 kilo bananas and a packet of biscuits

Do you know, here it is 2 rupees lesser than in our Kandankunnath

Wonder how Sulaiman will react on seeing us I'm a little scared also

We have not done them any harm

Anyway, we are going to seek forgiveness

Oh God, who is this?

Have you come here by mistake?

How are you Rabiya?

Where is Sulaiman?

Come, he's inside

Allah! Who is this? Am I dreaming, Rabiya?

He was talking about you just 2 days ago

- Rabiya...Give him a chair - No dear, I ll sit here

What happened, Sulaiman?

I was walking bythe side of the road

A stone from a speeding vehicle bounced and hit my head

I was unconscious in a hospital at Mangalore for 2 months

Everybodythought I was dead

Now I'm unable to stand

Even when I sit, after a while my head starts tilting to a side..

..as if I've lost control over my body

Why are you not talking to me 'sister'?

Aisu and I are going on Hajj this year

We've had misunderstanding between us

I come seeking forgiveness

But you have not done me any harm

Two cents of land fell short I tried to take it from you

Making documents for Allah's land

I lived buying and selling them repeatedly

Today, all that I snatched and fought for is lost

Now, even this little bit of land is mortgaged

I realize one thing now

Allah has kept me alive in this hell for a reason

When you come here to seek forgiveness if I was dead you would feel awful

It is onlyfor you Allah has extended my life

Please prayfor me also

Not for me to get back on myfeet

But to die before I become a burden to others

What are you saying?

You go ahead

My prayers and forgiveness are always with you

That mosque which was unwanted is full of people nowadays

Ustad's tomb fetches an income of Rs.1 0,000 everyday

It seems people are now competing to be in the committee

It seems our Abutt is now at Ustad's tomb

Those who visit the tomb, tip Abutt also

All who criticized Ustad are now his followers

But it was our mistake to have let his body be taken bythem

Ustad lived in our village

It's not as we think

What is it, Hyder?

Ever since Ustad died...

I'm disturbed

Sometimes I hear him calling out to me

Next week I'm leaving on Hajj

Do I owe you any money?

Anything that I've forgotten

No, you have never taken anything on credit

Neither have you allowed anyone else to pay

Ifyou have too much cash with you..

..pay for us also

I'll pay for them

What is wrong with you?

It's okay, tomorrow I may not be able to buythem tea

I'll see you before I leave

Mamun...Moideen...farewell

His Hajj trip is through the travel agent

Where did he get the moneyfrom?

Osama Bin Laden sent him a money order!

While you spend time gossiping, drinking tea on charity..

..he was busy saving moneywith his blood, sweat and tears

For his one hajj, he will receive thousands of utilitarianism for it

I cannot teach you to drive

Instead of 8 you are driving around zeros

But that's how I write 8 2 zeroes, one on top of the other

Then you'll never get a driving license

How do engine drivers get a license?

How can second be belowfirst?

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

When I wanted a car to go around..

..Kasim bought me a car

Found that drivers demand Rs.7000 as a salary

So I decided to learn driving

Not very easy

What's happening to your trip?

With Allah's blessing we'll leave next week

Will you be going this year?

I've given my passport for stamping

It's very hot there now

I've asked for a ticket just 2 days before the travel

I'm planning to bring locks and hinges from there for Kasim's new house

Hajj travelers do enjoy some extra baggage benefits

- Haji ka, come - There he goes again!

He's taking advantage of this situation acting smart with me

Ifwe are luckywe'll meet there

Abu...

This is Kasim's phone number

Ifyou need any help there, call him

Don't talk to me about this 8 I cannot do all that

I'll pertorm a 9 ifyou want

'Assalam Alaikum'

With Allah's blessing all of us will proceed on the pious journey next week

There are 2 important points

Please get yourself inoculated for meningitis

Make the balance payment immediately

Many people have come up with various doubts

Main doubt is what we can carry

We are providing two bags to each traveler on behalf of the travels

One which can hold 20 kilos and another can hold 7 kilos

You can carry only things that fit into these 2 bags

Ifyou have medicines to be taken daily they have to be stocked for a month

Preserve the medical bills You might need them at the airport

Men's garments is lhran one for the waist, one for the shoulder

Buy thick material not transparent ones

Men have to buy a belt for the waist

To prevent your garment from slipping and to safeguard important things

Food is included in the tour package with specific meal timings

You can also carry some snacks with you

They come in handywhen you are hungry

Women have to wear 'purdah' You need at least 2 pairs

Mufta (head wear) will be distributed here

Where have you two been?

We are just returning from the Hajj class

By God's grace next week we'll be starting our journey

Very good You've been dreaming it for a lifetime

I'll come to your house before you leave

Where are you off to?

I'm going to Wynad

Last night Sohra called

Is she happy?

She was crying over the phone Her husband is harassing her

I still owe him 2 sovereigns of gold and Rs.30,000 as dowry

I don't know if she is telling the truth or is it her ployto get the money

After girls get married fathers become strangers to them!

But when they cryfathers cannot bear the pain

I've saved some money

I take leave

By the way Johnson was looking for you

You go home I'll go meet Johnson

Then we can pay up the travel agent tomorrow itself

We were at the Hajj class If all goes well we will leave on Saturday

Here is the money I promised you

But...

What is it, Johnson?

Didn't you go home?

No, when I heard you were looking for me...

...I came straight here, why?

Nothing...the tree was cut today

I was about to ask you

You said you would cut it today

When we cut that tree...

What's it?

What is it, Johnson?

Then...

It was completely hollow

Then why did you pay me this amount, Johnson?

I'd given you my word

Our terms of sale was for timber, not firewood

Don't worry We'll discuss this After you return

We do not think of returning from this journey

We are blessed ifwe die there

Even the dead body is not brought back

Don't make me feel bad

Think of the Lord and take this money

I know you too well

When you see that chopped tree you would have come back

Business has profit and loss

This was entirely my deal I'll bear the loss

Even if that tree was not hollow

I knowyou wouldn't have profited

Your offer was onlyto help me That's why you quoted such a high price

Don't force me to take it

This is a question of faith

Did master started to take mattock also now

Hey Nalini.... Moideen has arrived

Moideen, which is the fish?

Here is welter mackerel. Shall I take?

The more it welters; will it go outside the box?

This master is telling the same old jock

Moideen has stopped his studies in third standard due to this utter jock of master, isn't it?

-Shall I take 1 Kg? -1 Kg?

We are not taking this for further sale

We are three. Needs three

Oh! My Nalini sister, this master's miserliness has no change at all

Master, please tryto spend some money

Moideen, teach him likewise

Did you know Abu's matter?

What happened Moideen?

His hajj journeywas cancelled After his entire announcement they're all

What? What happened?

Moneywas not arranged

Why don't... I also have a wish to do hajj isn't?

I can't make these much amount of money

That's why God said rich people must do hajj

Then, shall I leave master?

'Brother'Abu

'Brother' Abu?

Master

Come in, sit

Heard your journey got cancelled?

Matters did not go as planned I tried but it didn't work

Is money the problem?

Yes, some miscalculation

I don't know how much the shortage is...

There's Rs.50,000 in this

I don't need it now We'll be very happy ifyou take it

Our own son has forsaken us We have no one in this world

You come to help us like a younger brother

I'm very grateful

But... I cannot accept this from you

I can accept monetary help for Hajj onlyfrom blood relatives

Or use my own money

But you just said I was like a brother Can you not accept it?

I would like to very much just not to hurt you

But Allah's rules do not allow me

Shall we ask Sattar for some money?

Is he not our son?

His money is halal (legitimate)

Father and sons are not by birth alone

We don't know how he's made that money

That wealth of his is not halal for us

We are short of moneyfor the two of us

One of us can still go, isn't it?

You always wanted to go Why don't you go?

What are you saying?

Even in my dream of Hajj, you were with me

When I go for my business I return in 2 or 3 days..

..because you are all alone here

Don't think like that

Shall we do one thing?

Let us sell this house and land

I too thought ofthat

But if ever something happened to me there..

..without even a roof over your head where will you go?

We are not destined for Hajj this year

We should buy back the cow and calf

Explain matters to the travel agent

We should not make any difficultyto them

Your cancellation is not a problem

Last minute changes do happen

Especially, since our passenger are old

After longing for it so intensely...

...when you sayyou cannot come

We were not destined for it

This year we are sending 2500 people

Your Rs.50,000 is not a problem

You start getting ready

I'll see to it that you go

Prepare for the journey

'My son'

Ihran, the 2 pieces of cloth that the Hajjis wear, is preserved very carefully

Do you know why? To cover the body when you die

To be absolutely free of liabilities even in death

Do you think we would go on credit for such a journey?

Never, 'my son'

When I was young my parents dreamt of Hajj

But we did not have the money

Today I have the means But they are no more

When I see you I remember them

I'll treat you as my own parents

Please go on Hajj

We wanted to go on our own Hajj

If we did on behalf of your parents it'll only be their Hajj, not ours

If there is a son like you on this earth..

..your parents will have blessings of infinite Hajj, even if dead

There are some children...

...we nurture them

Only when they are grown up

...we realize their inside is hollow

'Brother'Abu?

Nothing

After few day.... It's Bakreed

'Hajj dawj prayers'

Ustad...

My Ustad has come

Ustad...

My Ustad has come

Mina valley will be a sea of people

To commemorate Mohammed Nabi's Arafa sermon..

..Hajjis will assemble in the Arafa ground

Pilgrims from different places, speaking different languages...

...all with same attire and thoughts

Tomorrow's rituals will bring this year's Hajj to an end

If we had gone, we would have been in that crowd

ButAllah did not grant us that inspite of yearning so much for it

We should not complain about Allah's ways...

...what Allah didn't grant or what we never got

Hajj happens onlywhen lbrahim Nabi calls us

May be our norms were not correct

We might have gone wrong somewhere

Perhaps...

Allah did not approve of the tree being cut

After all, it also had life

For our selfish monetary needs we cut it down

We will start preparing for next year's Hajj

'God Willing'

Next year, let's hope to be there

...if good health permits

Let's not spoil an auspicous day

Get up

I am going to the mosque
