leave this world, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, the religious works of Dawat-e-Islami will still continue, the call to righteousness will continue to spread and the message of the religion will continue to reach the entire world. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه !

May Allah Almighty also grant us Tawfeeq to spread the call to righteousness; if only we were granted this for the sake of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ, and become from among those who wholeheartedly take part in the religious works of Dawat-e-Islami.

Let us listen to a blessed saying of Ghaus-e-A’zam, Shaykh Abdul Qaadir Jeelani رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه with a brief explanation. Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه  states: ‘There are 4 types of people:
