Demand of the Arab (Islamic) scholars

Dear Islamic brothers! The personality of A’la Hadrat, leader of the Ahl-e-Sunnah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه is a shining role model for us. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه provided the Muslim Ummah with Islamic knowledge even in a state of extreme pains, due to his great love for Islamic knowledge and for the passion of its propagation.

It has been stated that when he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه went to sacred Arabia for the second time for Hajj and reached Jeddah (via ship), he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه suffered from a fever. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه spent 3 days in Jeddah with this high fever. He   رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه recovered to some extent in the days of Hajj, but after performing Hajj he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه again suffered from a fever. (Malfoozat, pp. 183)

In such circumstances, the foremost Islamic scholar of Makkah Mukarramah, the former Qadi (Judge) of Makkah, Maulana Saalih Kamal رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه asked A’la Hadrat some questions about the ‘Ilm-ul-Ghayb [unseen knowledge] of Beloved Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and said that he wanted the answers to these questions. Despite being ill, being a traveller and very tired due to travelling for Hajj and performing the different Hajj rites as well as many other activities, A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: Bring an inkpot and pen! Maulana Kamal and other great Islamic scholars of Makkah said: We do not want such a short answer, the answer should be comprehensive so that the denier of the unseen knowledge can be defeated. It was decided that the book was to be completed within two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) and then handed over to the Islamic scholars of Makkah on Thursday.

A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: Trusting the favour and kindness of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and the help of the Prophet of Rahmah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم I promised to fulfil this responsibility. The very next day the fever returned. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه started writing the booklet whilst having fever, and Haamid Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه wrote it in a neat and clean handwriting. (Malfoozat, pp. 190)
