well. Giving Madani pearls to his followers he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه stated: The benefits which are there for softness can never be obtained by strictness, therefore those who are confused and doubtful in terms of beliefs, should be treated gently so that they could come to the right path.

(Imam Ahmad Raza and Ishq-e-Mustafa, pp. 278)

ڈال دی قلب میں عظمتِ مُصطفیٰ

حکمتِ اعلیٰ حضرت پہ لاکھوں سلام

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Reason for Devotion to Sadaat-e-Kiraam

Dear Islamic brothers! As, in the sight of a true devotee, everything that has its relation or connection with his Beloved is devotional, honourable and respectable. A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه besides loving everything that is related to the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had special devotion to Sayyids.

Allamah Maulana Zafaruddin Qadiri Razavi عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی has said: Sadaat-e-Kiraam by virtue of having connection with the beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم deserve great respect and I have found A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه acting upon this completely. He did not view a Sayyid Sahib as his personal acquaintance or according to his competence, but he would see from this point of view that he is part of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. With this devotion and concept whatever respect of the Sadaat-e-Kiraam is made, is absolutely right. A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه in his Qasidah-e-Noor has humbly stated:

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
