2. Jainulabdeen would accept their thanks and request a small donation for the upkeep of the local mosque.
3. He consistently instructed the cured individuals to direct their gratitude towards Allah, the merciful.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: B
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. Cured people visited to offer thanks, but Jainulabdeen redirected it to Allah.Structural Breakdown: The sequence involves the patient's recovery, their return to express human gratitude, and the father's theological correction (redirecting praise to the divine). Historical/Related Context: In many traditional healing practices, the healer assumes a guru-like status and accepts material rewards.
Jainulabdeen's refusal of personal glory reinforces his role as a humble "go-between" rather than a self-proclaimed miracle worker.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 2 is incorrect because the text never mentions him asking for donations; he simply smiled and asked them to thank Allah, maintaining his austere and unselfish character.
