Tulsidas on Muslims

I read this interesting doha (translated into English) from Goswami Tulsidas. Tulsidas, who is remembered for his Ram bhakti and for writing Ramcharit Manas, was a contemporary of great king Akbar during the Muslim invasion of India



“It is a legend that a blind, old, poor, Muslim, feebled by age, was pushed down to earth on the street by a running pig. Lamenting “Ha-ram, Ha-ram, Ha-ram has killed me”, he breathed his last.
 


His call to “Ram” at the end of his life, though inadvertent, removed all his sins and he entered the kingdom of the Lord. 


If someone were to recite “Ram” with love and devotion, his gains would be beyond description.”
