offering Salah with congregation he would complete the rest of his journey in another car. (Faizan-e-A’la Hadrat, p. 136)

The state of devotion towards Salah:

The toe of A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه had once become swollen. His surgeon operated on his toe, then tied it with a bandage, the surgeon then humbly requested: ‘Your honour, if you do not let it move, then it will heal in 10-12 days, otherwise it will take longer’. The surgeon said this and left, and A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه considered how this could be possible, because not moving his toe would mean to not offer Salah with congregation and to not visit the masjid. When it was the time of Zuhr salah, A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه performed Wudu, he could not stand, So he sat by the entrance door, until people sat him on a chair and took him to the masjid. And at that time the local people and his family members decided, after every azan, four strong people among us will come to his bed with a chair. Then from the bedstead, they would place the chair close to the Mihrab. This routine continued punctually for a month. When the wound healed and he was able to walk by himself, this practice came to an end. No one saw him miss a congregational prayer without a valid Shar’i reason. (Faizan-e-A’la Hadrat, p. 136)

Dear Islamic brothers! You have heard! A’la Hadrat’s رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه devotion towards offering Salah with Jama’at, that in any state he could not bear to miss it. The state of his devotion to congregational Salah was such, that even with a severe wound that caused difficulty to walk, he continued to proceed to the masjid and offer Salah with congregation. In the aforementioned parable, there is lesson for those unwise people who waste their time on street corners and shops, spending their time
