of sending him away, but she entirely devoted her son to acquire and serve the religious knowledge and while seeing him off, she clearly stated:                 یَا  وَلَدِیْ  اِذْہَبْ   فَقَدْ خَرَجْتُ  عَنْکَ  لِلّٰہِ  فَہٰذَا  وَجْہٌ  لَا  اَرَاہُ   اِلٰی   یَوْمِ  الْقِیَامَۃِ, i.e. O my beloved son! Go! Seeking the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I send you away from me and now I will not see your face until the Day of Judgement.

The mother of Ghaus-e-A’zam not only granted him permission for travelling far away but also gave him living and travelling expenses. Those devotees of Rasool and devotees of Ghaus-e-A’zam who financially support their children for acquiring worldly education or business purpose but do not help them in acquiring Islamic knowledge; they should specially ponder over this point.

We also come to know from this parable that Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-A’zam      رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was the embodiment of truthfulness. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه never told a lie in his lifetime and decided his matters on the basis of truthfulness and honesty. One of its main reasons is the proper religious upbringing given to him by his pious mother Sayyidatuna Umm-ul-Khayr Fatimah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهَا as we have listened that his mother made him take a pledge to always remain firm on truthfulness. Therefore, we should also give our children an Islamic upbringing. We should always speak the truth ourselves and also persuade our children to speak the truth even in their childhood.

Strongly advising us to hold on to the truth and refrain from telling lies, our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: Hold on to the truth, because truth leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Jannah; a man continues speaking the truth and striving for truth, until he is written before Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ as very truthful (Siddeeq). Refrain from lying, for lying leads to sin, and sin leads to the Hell; a man continues lying and tends to tell lies until in the sight of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, he is written a big liar. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 1405, Hadees 2607)
