   A Wali once asked Hadhrat Khidr (alayhis salaam): “What is the most astonishing scene you have observed in your life?” Hadhrat Khidhr said: “Once I passed by a barren wasteland which was waterless and arid. After five centuries when I passed by that same land, it had developed into  a large, populous, wonderful city. Trees had grown all over and rivers were flowing. I asked some people: “Since when had this city developed?” They said: “Subhaanallaah! We, our fathers and grandfathers  have  always known this city as it is presently.”  Continuing his narrative, Hadhrat Khidhr said: “Then I  stayed away for another five centuries.

    When I again passed by that land, I was surprised to see that it had become a huge ocean. I observed many fishermen on the water. I asked them: “Since when  is this sea here? What has happened to the city which was here?” They said in surprise: “Subhaanallaah! Was there ever a city here? Neither we nor our fathers nor our  grandfathers ever heard of a city having been here.”

    “Then again I stayed away  for five centuries. When I again passed by that place, the sea had disappeared. It was again a developed city like the first one. Subhaanallaah!
