Khidmat Mauláná replied, " If it is God's wish that the Moghuls become honoured with the blessed state of Islám, He will doubtless give me sufficient power to overcome this man." The Khan and those who had become Musulmans were not pleased with these plans. However, a large crowd assembled, the Kafir was brought in, and he and Khidmat Maulana advanced towards one another. The Infidel, proud of his own strength, advanced with a conceited air. The Maulana looked very small and weak beside him. When they came to blows, the Maulana struck the Infidel full in the chest, and he fell senseless. After a little, he came to again, and having raised himself, fell again at the feet of the Maulana, crying out and uttering words of Belief. The people raised loud shouts of applause, and on that day 160,000 persons cut off the hair of their heads and became Musulmans. The Khan was circumcised, and the lights of Islam dispelled the shades of Unbelief. Islam was disseminated all through the country of Chaghatai Khan, and (thanks be to God) has continued fixed in it to the present time. - [Previous: 18.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.18.7) - [Next: 19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.19) - [Up: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.18) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.18.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.18.8) · Pramāṇa
