Book Name:Seerat e Ali o Aaisha Aur Ashab e Badar
Allah Almighty. (Abu Dawood, vol. 4, p. 344, Hadith 4843) Fortunate are the individuals who honour the scholars, Islamic leaders and righteous individuals, and misfortunate are the people who mock scholars and righteous people and destroy their hereafter all in the name of ‘freedom’.

Dear Islamic brothers! Allah Almighty mentioned a great favour of His in the Quran. Let us hear about this great favour: Allah Almighty states in verse 123 of Surah ‘Aal-e-Imran’, Part 4:
