Due to these very attributes, efforts and great passion of his for the well-being of Ummah of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, the devotees of Rasool remember him in the following way:

Weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’—one of the 12 Madani activities
Dear Islamic brothers! We just heard about the religious services of Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, the founder of Dawat-e-Islami, ‘Allamah Maulana Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas ‘Attar Qaadiri Razavi Ziyaee دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه. Listening to it would have also driven our hearts to convey the call to righteousness and serve Islam, or it would have increased our passion to increase it [conveying call to righteousness] to a greater degree.

Sayyiduna Sufyan Bin ‘Uyaynah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: ‘عِنۡدَ ذِكۡرِ الصّٰلِحِيۡنَ تَنَزَّلُ الرَّحۡـمَةُ’ i.e. mercy descends at the time of Zikr of the pious people.
(Hilyat-ul-Awliya, vol. 7, pp. 335, Hadees 10750)
When mercy descends during the Zikr of the pious people, then how can mercy not descend where the blessed Zikr of Allah Almighty and His Beloved
