All the attempts of disbelievers on the Khwaja failed miserably

<br /> &nbsp;<b><i>Salaat broke down the spell of magic</i></b> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">When the enemies failed in their attempts, they went and appealed before a great Brahmin.&nbsp; They described to him all that had happened and requested him for help.&nbsp; First, the Brahmin sat silent for some time and then said:&nbsp; Friends!&nbsp; This dervish is a great saint of his religion.&nbsp; I don&rsquo;t know of anything that may work against him except magic and sorcery.&nbsp; Thus, he taught them magic and told them:&nbsp; Keep reciting this.&nbsp; Maybe that dervish can&rsquo;t stay here.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">The disbelievers started reciting those magical incantations. The Brahmin placed himself at the head of them.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">When they reached the Khwaja, all the disbelievers took cover behind their leader.&nbsp; By now, one of the disciples of the Khwaja got to know that they were reciting incantations.&nbsp; He informed the Khwaja about this.&nbsp; The Khwaja said:&nbsp; Their magic will have no effect on us.&nbsp; Instead, the Brahmin magician himself will be reformed himself.&nbsp; Having said this, the Khwaja busied himself in Salaat.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">When the disbelievers saw the blessed countenance of the Khwaja, they were struck dumb.&nbsp; They remained standing wherever they were standing.&nbsp; When the Khwaja finished offering Salaat, he turned to the disbelievers.&nbsp; When their leader saw the face of the Khwaja, he immediately embraced Islam.&nbsp; The disbelievers advised him a lot, but it had no effect.&nbsp; Instead, he turned upon them and started beating them with a stick and killed many of them in this manner.&nbsp; The rest ran away bewildered.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Khwaja comforted the leader and himself filled a cup with water and gave it to him.&nbsp; On drinking this cup of water, all the darkness and gloom of disbelief was washed away and the leader&rsquo;s heart started shining with the radiance of gnosis.&nbsp; He fell at the feet of the Khwaja and said:&nbsp; I have gained much happiness (<i>Shaadi</i>) by seeing your blessed countenance.&nbsp; The Khwaja said:&nbsp; I have also named you Shaadi.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">When this news reached the king, he grew even more anxious and started readying another magician to defeat the Khwaja.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">A magician lived near <st1:city w:st="on">Ajmer</st1:city>.&nbsp; His name was Jaipal.&nbsp; He was unparalleled in the whole country in the arts of magic and sorcery.&nbsp; The king was a great devotee of him.&nbsp; He had 1500 disciples and attendants.&nbsp; Seven hundred of them were magicians.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">The king described the whole situation to this magician.&nbsp; The magician gathered all his disciples and all the people who lived in the surrounding areas and along with the king, went to Hadhrat Khwaja Ghareebnawaz to defeat him.&nbsp; The magician made a deerskin to fly in the air and he himself was traveling sitting on it along with his army, horses, camels and elephants.&nbsp; The whole city reverberated with the arrival of this army.&nbsp; (Iqtibaas Ul Anwaar, Pg.
