“He is just 21 months old but already a ‘superstar.’ Khushi as his owner Jeetender Singh calls him , is by far the costliest goat selling in Delhi on the eve of Bakr-Eid. According to singh, Khushi has a buyer willing to pay a staggering Rs 21 lakh for him. Singh, however is holding out for Rs 51 lakh.
What makes Khushi so special? It’s the natural pattern in white on the black goat’s body that resembles the number 786 in Arabic –considered sacred by Muslims across the world. That is not all , there is another marking that looks like the crescent moon, which again is a sacred symbol for Muslims. The owner claims the goat was born with the markings.
.
Singh . a dairy farmer from Rajasthan, had named the goat Khushi , little knowing what happiness the goat could bring him. Khushi was six months old when he decided to sell it to a Muslim butcher. He was on the verge of killing it when he noticed the number 786 . Then he saw the holy moon, on the other side of the goat's back.He refused to kill the anima land left. Since then Singh has been bringing up the goat with utmost care.
Last year he got a offer of Rs 5.15 lakhs. This year he has got an offer of Rs 21 lakh. He will negotiate and sell it.” Times of India , Delhi.
The above news item has almost created a stir. Who could be the buyer? Would he kill it this year or keep a sacred gift from Allah. How Singh has been keeping such a precious goat ? Did he hire some security?.
Faith is a very curious aspect of human life. Here is a case of God bringing the goat in Singh’s family and parting it to a devote Muslim. Both are happy. Singh for the money he got and the buyer the gift he could offer.
