Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه, due to the environment at home being good, he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه completed the recitation of the Quran at a very young age of four and a half years. At the age of 6, during the blessed month of Rabi’-ul-Awwal, he delivered an excellent speech on the topic of Milad-un-Nabi in a large gathering in the presence of many great scholars and Shaykhs, receiving a great acclaim. It was also at the age of 6 that he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه found out the direction of Baghdad and never stretched his legs towards the direction of Ghaus-e-A’zam’s رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه blessed city throughout his entire life. He رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه had devotional love for Salah, thus, he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would offer five daily Salahs in congregation with the first Takbeer in the Masjid; whenever he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would come across a woman, he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would immediately lower his gaze. It was at the age of 7 that he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه began to keep the fasts of Ramadan-ul-Mubarak. (Tazkirah Imam Ahmad Raza, p. 3)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! The month of Rajab-ul-Murajjab is almost upon us. Let us listen to the summary of the letter of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, ‘Allamah Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ in regards to Rajab-ul-Murajjab:

Letter of Attar

He دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ states: A Salaam full of the blessings of the surroundings of the blessed Ka’bah, kissing the Green Dome, and a Salaam full of the blessings of those who fast in Rajab-ul-Murajjab, Sha’ban-ul-Mu’azzam and Ramadan-ul-Mubarak, from myself to all Islamic brothers, Islamic sisters and teachers and students of Madaris-ul-Madinah and Jami’aat-ul-Madinah,

اَلسَّلامُ عَلَیکُم وَرَحمَۃُ اللّٰہِ وَ بَرَکٰتُہٗ                                                  اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ رَبِّ العٰلَمِیْنَ عَلٰی کُلِّ حَالٍ 

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, the days of happiness are once again approaching; Rajab-ul-Murajjab is almost upon us. In this blessed month, the seeds of worship are sown, it is watered with the tears of regret in Sha’ban-ul-Mu’azzam and the harvest of mercy is reaped in Ramadan-ul-Mubarak.
