Dear Islamic brothers! We are currently reaping the blessings of the blessed month of Zul-Hijjah-til-Haraam. It is on the 14th of this month that the day of the honourable father of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat Allamah Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qaadiri Ziyaee دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ is celebrated. In this relation, let us listen to some aspects of his life:
Introduction to Abu Attar رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه
The noble father of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ, Haji Abdur-Rahman Qadiri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه, possessed a noble character and was an embodiment of righteousness, purity, Shari’ah, and Sunnah. It was his habit to keep his gaze lowered when walking. He had no desire whatsoever for amassing worldly wealth. He had great love for Masajid and would serve them abundantly. When Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat travelled to Colombo, Sri Lanka in 1979, the people there were very fond of his noble father as he had taken care of the great Hanafi Memon Masjid and had also served it a lot. He was a disciple in the Qadiri spiritual chain and would recite Qasidah Ghausiyyah as his Wird. During his stay in Colombo, the uncle of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat told him that he witnessed with his own eyes that whenever your honourable father would recite Qasidah Ghausiyyah sitting on a traditional woven bed, the woven bed would rise from the ground.
Passed away during the Hajj pilgrimage
When Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ was still in infancy, his noble father set off for the Hajj pilgrimage in 1370 AH. During the days of Hajj, many Hajj pilgrims passed away due to intense heat in Mina. Abu Attar, Haji Abdur-Rahman رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه also passed away after a short illness on 14th Zul-Hijjah-til-Haraam 1370 AH. (Ta’aruf-e-Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, pp. 11)
May Allah Almighty have mercy upon him and forgive us without accountability for his sake.
