Following interview of Bahen Maimoon Hoosenally, Hong Kong, by Mudar Patherya:

 

When you have had two miscarriages, you think the averages are against you. You start thinking ‘Perhaps not in my destiny’; you start feeling ‘Am I destined at all?’

 

I was no different. Because the doctors would look at my case complication and turn hesitant. Their voice would drop.

 

At such a juncture, I had a dream wherein Aqa Maula was telling me that when I want to get pregnant I should get his raza.

 

So the third time round, I sought my raza from him in London (after he asked a couple of questions). The following year, I dreamt my deceased father carrying a baby and Aqa Maula saying that he will be coming in July. That’s it. No more.

 

Three months later, I was pregnant. My baby was due in the second week of July but was born on 8 July 1997, the very day Huzurala landed in Singapore. Two days later at our ziafat, we narrated the dream sequence to Maulana and he simply said, ‘Maney khabar chhey.’
