would be ready. He رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would then sit in the room and very quickly, many devotees would arrive in large numbers.

Generally, around 50 to 200 people would gather, and at times, so many people would gather that the sitting room and the courtyard would both become completely full. As soon as he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would sit down, the servants would bring him a cup of tea and a biscuit. He رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would pass it to the person on his right. Like this, he would distribute a few teacups himself. Similarly, the servants would distribute one biscuit and one cup of tea to the rest of the people. He رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would also have a cup of tea and biscuit himself; this was his breakfast in the morning.

Maulana Sayyid Manzoor Ahmad رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states with certainty that, regardless of whether there were a few attendees or many, he would especially note that the tea was made once and it would be sufficient for all those present. It was never the case that if there were a large number of attendees, they had to make preparations to make more tea. This statement of Maulana Manzoor Ahmad Ghoswiرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه is a clear indication to the fact that this was one great miracle from the daily miracles of the Khalifah of A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه.

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! You have heard that is was due to the blessing of the hand of the Khalifah of A’la Hadrat, ‘Allamah Maulana Sayyid Mufti Muhammad Na’eem-ud-Deen Muradabadi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه and his miracle that the tea prepared once would be sufficient for everyone.

Some rulings regarding neighbours

Dear Islamic sisters! Let’s now listen to some points from the booklet of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ “The Test of the Judgement Day”. Before that, we will listen to two blessed sayings of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

*   He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: The best neighbour in the sight of Allah Almighty is the one who wishes well for his neighbour. (Tirmizi, vol. 3, p. 379, Hadees 1951)
