when 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! In order to please 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 gave him permission to travel far away but she also gave him money to cover [living and travelling] expenses. The devotees of Rasool and devotees of Ghaus-e-A’zam who financially support their children for receiving worldly education or for business purpose but do not help them in gaining Islamic knowledge should especially ponder over this point.

It has also become obvious 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; he 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 heard that his mother made him take a pledge to always remain firm on truthfulness. Therefore, we should also give our children 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 speak the truth and refrain from telling lies, our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: Hold on to the truth, because the truth leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise; a man continues to speak the truth and tries to speak the truth until he is written in the sight of Allah Almighty عَزَّوَجَلَّ as the one who speaks the truth very much. Refrain from lying, because a lie leads to a sin, and a sin leads to the Hell; a man continues to lie and tries to tell lies until in the sight of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, he is written a big liar. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 1405, Hadees 2607)
