concerned regarding my severe weakness due to my prolonged illness, and how I would walk so many miles by foot I turned my face, and there was an unfamiliar camel owner waiting there for me with a camel, thus, I praised Allah Almighty and climbed upon it. The people asked the unfamiliar man, ‘How did you bring this camel?’ He replied, ‘Shaykh Hussain had instructed me to not hold back in the service of Shaykh (A’la Hadrat), and we had walked a short distance when my own camel driver was waiting for me. When the camel owners of the caravan did not stop, I thought that Shaykh would face difficulty, so I untied one of the camels from the caravan and brought it back.’ This was all on the instruction of my Generous Master ‘صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی وَبَارَکَ وَسَلَّم عَلَیْہِ وَعَلٰی عِتْرَتِہٖ قَدْرَ رَاْفَتِہٖ وَرَحْمَتِہٖ’.

However, when A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه received authorisation in all Sufi paths alongside becoming a Mureed, one of the servants of the lodge could not help himself and said, ‘Master! In your family, Khilafat is only given after much worship and spiritual struggle. Yet, you have given him Khilafat immediately.’ Shah Aal-e-Rasool رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه said to him, ‘People come with impure hearts and impure souls, and purifying them
