Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had such a strong desire to propagate Islamic knowledge that he did not use to waste his time at all. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would often remain busy with scholarly activities. Having heard about his glory and expertise in sciences and arts, students from other cities would also go to him in order to gain Islamic knowledge and attain blessings from him. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was such an embodiment of Islamic knowledge and Amal [its practice] that whoever would go to him to gain knowledge would not leave empty-handed. Let’s listen [to the speech] about the good qualities and scholarly services related to his knowledge and practice, Dars and teaching.
Sayyiduna Qadi Abu Sa’eed Mubarak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had a Madrasah [i.e. Islamic school] in Baghdad. He used to give reformative speeches and impart Islamic knowledge to students at this Madrasah. When Sayyiduna Qazi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه learned about Ghaus-e-A’zam’s great knowledge and practice upon the knowledge, scholarly achievements and insight, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه handed his Madrasah over to him. Thereafter, as people heard about his grace and marvel and scholarly expertise, they [in a large number] started going to him to gain Islamic knowledge. (Seerat Ghaus-e-A’zam, pp. 58)
The writer of the book Bahjat-ul-Asraar, ‘Allamah Nooruddin Abul Hasan ‘Ali Shatnoofi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Sayyiduna Shaykh ‘Abdul Qaadir Jeelani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه used to deliver a speech about 13 sciences. At his sacred Madrasah, people would study Tafseer, Hadees, Fiqh and Ilm-ul-Kalam, etc. Both times, before noon and after noon, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would teach people
