Nice Tital

How I joined Dawat-e-Islami An Islamic brother from Mandan Ghar in the district of Ratnaghari in the state of Maharashtra narrates, “In the year 2002, due to bad company, I had joined a local gang of thugs. It was my habit to swear at people and to assault them. I also intentionally began fights. If there was any new fashion, I was the first to adopt it. I changed my clothes quiet a few times during the day and wearing jeans were the only pants I used to wear. I used to hang around with useless friends, came home quiet late and slept well into the day. My father had already passed away and when my mother tried to make me understand, I would answer back to her. Once, I met an Islamic brother from Dawat-e-Islami who handed me a booklet as a gift entitled “King of Jinnaat” which had been printed by Maktaba-tul-Madina. After reading this booklet, I felt good. During the month of Ramadhaan, I was lucky enough to go to a Masjid and coincidently met an Islamic brother who was wearing a green Imaama and white clothes. I also found out that he was a mu’takif in the Masjid. When he started the Dars from Faizan-e-Sunnat, I also sat down. After the Dars, he continued to make an effort and began to explain to me the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami and the blessings in this. The clothes of the Islamic brother were so simple that it also had stitches on them. The food that came from home for him was also very simple. I became highly impressed by his simplicity and began to not only like him but also admire him. I began to visit him regularly. Coincidently, after Eid-ul-Fitr, it was his Nikah. Although he was very poor and was financially not in a good state, he never gave me that impression and never asked for any financial help or assistance. I became even more impressed by the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami and was also highly overwhelmed by the loving Madani spirit within it. I was also highly impressed by the simplicity of the people associated with it. I had now become attached to Dawat-e-Islami and decided to join the Madani Qafila for eight days. My heart had completely been overturned and I had experienced a Madani revolution within myself. I sincerely repented for all my sins and completely handed myself to Dawat-e-Islami. Alhamdu-Lillah عَزَّوَجَل! Today I am a dedicated servant of Dawat-e-Islami and also a dedicated member of the area mushawarat. صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبيْب!ْ

Anticipation in the court of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم In India, as Imaam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه was passing away, at precisely the same time, a pious man from Syria was having a dream in Baitul Maqaddas. He related that he saw the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم sitting among his companions عليهم الرضوان and it seemed as if they were waiting for someone. There was silence in the gathering. Curious about this, the pious man from Syria moved forward and asked the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم, “O Prophet of Allah! For whom are you waiting?” The beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم replied “We are waiting for Ahmed Raza”. The person asked, “Who is he?” The beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم replied “He is an inhabitant of Bareilly in India” When this Saint awoke, he immediately journeyed from Syria to Bareilly Shareef to meet AlaHazrat رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه, but to his dismay, he learnt that AlaHazrat رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه had already departed from this world. (Sawaaneh Imaam Ahmed Raza, P391, Maktaba Nooria Radawiyyah Sakhar)

The passing away of AlaHazrat رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه AlaHazrat رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه himself professed his own death, four months and twenty days before it occured. He رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه derived his year of death year from the following verse of the Holy Qur’an: - َيُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِاٰنِيَة ٍمِّن فِضَّهٍ وَاَکْوَابْ Translation Kanzul-Imaan: Rounds of silver cups and silver beakers are brought for them۔ (Sawanih Imaam Ahmed Raza, P384, Maktaba Nooria Razaviya Sakhar) It was Friday, the 25th of Safarul Muzaffar 1340 (28th October 1921), at exactly 2:38 pm, when the Muazzin was giving Adhaan and when the Muazzin recited ‘حَيَّ عَلَي الْفَلاحِ’, AlaHazrat Imaam-e-AhleSunnah, Mujaddid of the Ummah, reviver of the Sunnah, destroyer of bid’ah, scholar of Shariah, guide of tareeqah, fountain of blessing, Allama Moulana AlHaaj AlHafiz AlQari AshShah Imaam Ahmed Raza Khan عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الرَّحْمٰنْ departed from this mundane world. اِنَّا لِلّهِ وَاِنَّآ اِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُوْن The blessed grave of Sayyiduna AlaHazrat رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه is situated in Muhalla Saudagran, Bareilly Shareef in India (UP) and is open to the general public to pay their respect and other tribute. صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبيْب!ْ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Translation of the Holy Qur’an The Urdu translation of the Holy Qur’an written by AlaHazrat رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه is far superior than present Qur’an translations. (Sawaaneh Imaam Ahmad Raza, P373, Maktaba Nooria Radawiyyah Sakhar) The translation written by AlaHazrat رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه is called ‘Kanzul-Imaan’. The spiritual successor of AlaHazrat رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه, Moulana Sayyid Naeemuddeen Muraadabaadi رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه has written a commentary of Kanzul-Imaan within it.
