reformation that took place in his life. Therefore, he was opposed, oppressed and obstructed in many ways. He used to be forced into leaving the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. Helpless, he sometimes would plead with his family, ‘Do not force me into leaving the Madani environment, or else, you will have to regret.’ But no one listened to him. He was opposed for a continuous period of almost three years.

At last, he surrendered to the demand of his family, shaving his beard and distancing himself from the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. As his elder brother was a doctor, he was also enrolled in a medical college in Sardarabad, Faisalabad (Punjab, Pakistan) in order to become a doctor. During his stay at the hostel, he started smoking Charas (cannabis) due to the company of bad friends. As a result, he fell seriously ill and was taken back to Hyderabad by his family. His father spent hundreds of thousands of rupees on his medical treatment, but he did not recover got reformed and started even taking heroin. Due to excessive addiction, he became a skeleton, converting the whiteness of his teeth into a dark film of drugs. He started behaving like a mad person.

By the grace of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, his father has now associated himself with the Madani environment of the Madani movement of the devotees of Rasool, Dawat-e-Islami. He deeply regrets, saying, ‘If I had realized the importance of Dawat-e-Islami that time and had not prevented my son from its Madani environment of the Madani movement of the devotees of Rasool, Dawat-e-Islami, I would not perhaps have witnessed these sad days, but it is no use crying over spilt milk.’

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ enable us to give Madani upbringing to our children as per Islamic rules!
