then his faith, certainty and steadfastness improves further. (Al-Fath-ur-Rabbani, pp. 219, summarised)

O devotees of the Prophet! We came to know that by the blessing of staying in the company of pious people, a person’s state changes for the better. In the current era, one way of attaining good company is to attach yourself to the Madani environment of the Madani movement of the devotees of Rasool, Dawat-e-Islami. We should also remain attached to this Madani movement to stay away from sins and attend the weekly Sunnah-inspiring gathering, watch Madani Muzakarah every week that is watched collectively and as well as carrying out other Madani activities, travel with the Madani Qafilah for 3 days every month to gain the passion of performing good deeds. We should make a habit of being in good company and act upon Madani In’amaat because staying in the company of pious people for even a moment can change the lives of big sinners.

Glance of Ghaus-ul-A’zam turned a thief into a Qutb

It is narrated that once, Huzoor Ghaus-ul-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه was travelling barefoot to Baghdad after visiting Madinah. A thief was standing on the way waiting to rob a traveller. When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه approached him, he asked: Who are you? He replied: I am a villager. But he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه, with his saintly miracle, had already seen his sins and vicious behaviour written. The thief had a thought in his mind, ‘Perhaps he is Ghaus-ul-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه.’ He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه        also found out about this thought of his, and then said, ‘I am ‘Abdul      Qaadir.’ Hearing this, the thief instantly fell at his blessed feet and began to say ‘یَا سَیِّدِیْ عَبْدَ الْقَادِرِ شَیْئًا لِلّٰہِ’ (i.e. O my master ‘Abdul Qaadir! For the sake of Allah, have mercy upon my condition). He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه felt pity upon his state and turned towards the court of Allah Almighty for his reformation. Upon this, an unseen voice was heard, ‘O ‘Abdul Qaadir! Show this thief the right path and by guiding him, make him a Qutb.’ Therefore, through his blessed glance, he attained the status of Qutb. (Seerat Ghaus-us-Saqalain, pp. 130; Ghaus-e-Pak kay Halaat, pp. 38)
