to worship in the nights and offer Tahajjud, Ishraq, Chasht and the Salah of Awwabeen. Instead of weakness and old age he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه did not give up the fasts of the days of Beez [i.e. the Nafl fasts observe on 13^th, 14^th & 15^th of every Islamic month]. (Sayyidi Ziyauddin Ahmad Al-Qaadiri, vol. 1, pp. 486)

We should also form the habit of offering these Nawafil and observing Nafl fasts along with obligatory Salah. It is narrated about Sayyidi Qutb-e-Madinah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه that he felt great pain while sitting and standing, even then he   رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would not get anyone’s help when going to perform Wudu. Despite having difficulties he would stand on his own (and perform Wudu).

(Sayyidi Ziyauddin Ahmad Al-Qaadiri, vol. 1, pp. 486)

Simplicity was his identity and habit; acting upon the Sunnah of Rasool, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه reared goats and would entertain the guests of Rasool with their milk. His house was the abode for Hujjaj and Haj pilgrims.

(Sayyidi Ziyauddin Ahmad Al-Qaadiri, vol. 1, pp. 488)

He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was very famous in blessed Arab. His disciples and caliphs belonged to Arab and non-Arab both. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would hold very little conversation. (Sayyidi Ziyauddin Ahmad Al-Qaadiri, pp. 489)

A gathering of Milad, which continued until his demise, used to be held regularly at his residence daily after Salat-ul-‘Isha. (Sayyidi Ziyauddin Ahmad Al-Qaadiri, vol. 1, pp. 495) To extend Arab-like hospitality was his distinctive quality.

Habit of hospitality!

Three thermoses full of tea were always kept with him and the guests of Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم were offered tea from them. As one thermos got empty, it was sent to upstairs (home) which was returned after some time filled with tea. It continued the whole day; at night after giving Langer (distributing food) everyone was entertained with tea, then pointing out towards the thermoses he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would ask if there had been some tea in them. If there had been a little tea, it would have been humbly said: There is a little tea left in one thermos only. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would say: Give it to people bit by
