Therefore, one should present the Waseelah of the beloveds of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ so that his Du’as can be heard and if possible, he should request the pious people to make Du’a for him, because Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ certainly answers the Du’a or curse of His pious bondmen.

Al-Haj, Maulana ‘Abdul Mustafa A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: If the pious people of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ such as the Islamic scholars, pious saints and all pious people curse anyone, it is very dangerous and destructive for that person. The curse of these pious people is like a sword against which there is no shield. It is a poisonous arrow of destruction which never misses its target. Therefore, it is compulsory for every Muslim to always be careful throughout his life that he should never disrespect the pious people of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and should not incur the curse of the pious saints, but he should always make his efforts to get the Du’as of these people because the curse of the pious people brings about destruction, while their Du’as bring about peace and safety.  (Karamaat-e-Sahabah, pp. 136)

Let’s listen to a faith-refreshing parable in this regard and develop deep respect for the pious saints in our hearts:

When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would go to the courtyard, he would say ‘اَللہُ اَکْبَر’, and in reply, his wife would also say ‘اَللہُ اَکْبَر’. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would do this every day.

One night, when he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه returned home and said ‘اَللہُ اَکْبَر’ as he reached the door, but he heard no answer. When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه reached the courtyard and said ‘اَللہُ اَکْبَر’, he got no reply. When he reached the room and said ‘اَللہُ اَکْبَر’, even then his wife did not say ‘اَللہُ اَکْبَر’ in reply. His wife gave him
