Blessings of giving Dars alone

No words can express the greatness of delivering Dars from Faizan-e Sunnat. One brother from the Lines Area of Bab-ul-Madinah, Karachi narrated: I was standing on the roof of my house when I saw an Islamic brother of Dawat-e-Islami, with a green ‘Imamah on his head, giving Chowk Dars all alone by the street corner. No one was sitting there to listen to him. Even though I was away from religion and would avoid Islamic brothers who wore green ‘Imamahs, when I saw that brother giving Dars all alone, I felt bad. I went down and joined his Dars in sympathy. Joining that Dars became a source for my reformation and I became attached to the Madani environment.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, at the time of giving this statement, I am in charge of Madani In’amaat in my locality. There was a time when I used to run away from people wearing green ‘Imamahs and اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, today the crown of the green ‘Imamah is shining on my head.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! We were listening to the glory and greatness of Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه. If he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه is called out by          the words ‘Ya Ghaus, Ya Ghaus Al-Madad, Ya Shaykh ‘Abdul Qaadir’, etc., he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه helps [people]. Similarly, it is absolutely permissible to call out pious saints from a distance because these chosen bondmen of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ not only hear the request of people by the powers bestowed by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, but they also come to help them. A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was humbly asked that Sayyiduna Ahmad Zarroq رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: When someone has a trouble, he should call out by saying ‘Ya Zarroq’, I will immediately help him. He                 رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه then said in reply: Whenever I sought help, I only said ‘Ya Ghaus’ ‘یَک دَر گیرُ مُحکَم گِیر’ (be faithful to one). (Malfuzaat A’la Hadrat, part 3, pp. 400)

It has become obvious that our pious predecessors had the practice of calling out their spiritual guides in trouble whether they were near or at a distance. Remember! To listen to someone’s request from a distance and become aware
