The Shaikh was giving a sermon on the mode of operation: ‘The infidels of India are very hard working in business.

Polytheists are those having trade relations with polytheists; but our nation’s people are lacking in intelligence and sense.

Unclean is the article touched by the infidel; should listen if Muslim’s ears are amenable to truth!

A drunkard was also present in the sermon’s assembly; to whom such talks as those of the preacher were irksome.

He said, ‘It is atrocious that in such restrictions are imprisoned the dealings in articles of eating and drink’.

I said, ‘There is no difficulty for you as in India Muslims also are liquor sellers!’ (This is a sarcasm on the fact that a fairly large number of the Muslims in India were dealing in wine and other intoxicants.)
