He was asked why a Muslim would build a fountain only to<br \/>\nforbid other Muslims to drink from its water? The judge stood up and asked: \u201cWhat kind of fitna is this?<br \/>\nYou build a fountain for charity, and yet you forbid its water to the Muslims; in a country where<br \/>\npeople\u2019s religion is Islam, in a state where the people are Muslims. Have you lost your mind?\u201d<br \/>\nThe man answered: \u201cPardon me, indeed there is a reason, though it needs proving.\u201d Hearing this answer,<br \/>\nthe judge got even more angry: \u201cWhat proof, what evidence? This is obviously fitna,<br \/>\nand you disturbed our Muslim community. You must be executed!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the judge was curious, \u201cWhat was the reason?\u201d he asked. The man answered:<br \/>\n\u201cI can only say it to the Sultan.\u201d He was taken to the Sultan.<br \/>\nThe Sultan was also annoyed by the incident, but he too was curious.<br \/>\nThe Sultan told him: \u201cSay what it is you came to say. How dare you build<br \/>\nthis fountain and forbid its water to all Muslims and let non-Muslims use it?\u201d.<br \/>\nThe man, with his head low, answered: \u201cI have a reason, but it must be demonstrated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat if your reasoning isn\u2019t as reasonable as you think?\u201d asked the Sultan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen my neck is thinner than hair for the ruling, my Sultan,\u201d the man said.<\/p>\n<p>The Sultan asked what was needed. The man said: \u201cDetain a rabbi from a synagogue<br \/>\nand keep him for a week. Then see what happens.\u201d What he said was done.<\/p>\n<p>All minorities came together, the Jews leading them spoke:<br \/>\n\u201cWhat\u2019s the reason for this cruelty? We vouch for our rabbi,<br \/>\nhe is innocent. Tell us what needs to be done, if necessary,<br \/>\nwe will pay his bail.\u201d Even ambassadors from neighbouring<br \/>\ncountries came and delivered dozens of letters. After a week,<br \/>\nthe rabbi was released and minorities were happy.<br \/>\nThen came all the thanks and presents for the Sultan.<br \/>\nAfter a while, the man asked the Sultan to do the same,<br \/>\nbut this time with a priest from a church. The priest was<br \/>\nbrought by force from the Sunday ritual and this time people<br \/>\nreacted even more intensely. After a week, he was released,<br \/>\nbringing the Sultan even more gifts, even more thanks\u2026<br \/>\nLevantines came together by the happiness of reuniting with their priest.<\/p>\n<p>The Sultan asked: \u201cAre we done?\u201d The man answered: \u201cJust one more, my Sultan, and then you\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you need?\u201d asked the Sultan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSir, take the Imam from our capital, Bursa, who is most loved, listened and trusted, take him from his mimbar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What the man said was done; the Imam was taken by force from the Grand Mosque of Bursa<br \/>\nin the middle of his Friday khutba. Then, what happened? Not even a single soul realised<br \/>\nhe was gone, no one asked where he was. No one asked them: \u201cWhat is up with you?<br \/>\nYou could at least wait for the khutba to end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After a week, still, no one was asking any questions about him. Then, a gossip erupted among the people.<br \/>\nEveryone started saying: \u201cWe thought he was a decent man, we listened to him, made him our Imam\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllah knows what he did to be taken in!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat a pity! All those congregational salahs I participated in, under his lead, what a waste!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sultan, the Imam and the man were only watching what was going on.<br \/>\nEventually the Sultan asked the man that built the fountain: \u201cNow what?\u201d<br \/>\nThe man answered: \u201cIt\u2019s time to release him and also apologize.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Sultan agreed and ordered what the man said to be done.<br \/>\nThe man spoke with his head low: \u201cO, great Sultan,<br \/>\nplease tell me, can water be halal to Muslims like that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sultan smiled painfully: &#8211;<br \/>\n\u201cEven the air is haram, even the air!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In days of the past, a Muslim in Bursa built a fountain once called Yahudilik Junction, today, it\u2019s called Arap Sukru.
