اَلْحَمْدُ للہِ الَّذِیْ عَافَانِیْ مِمَّا ابْتَلَاکَ بِہٖ وَ فَضَّلَنِیْ عَلٰی کَثِیْرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِیْلاً

“Praise be to Allah Almighty Who granted me safety from that which He afflicted you with and has favoured me greatly over many of those whom He has created.”   

The reciter would be protected from that affliction. A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه recited this supplication upon seeing a person with a cataract and became at ease.

16 years passed after this incident. After 16 years, this matter was mentioned before an expert doctor, and he too examined the eye and said with all confidence, “After 4 years, the eye will suffer from a cataract.” However, may we be sacrificed for him! A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه said, “My trust in the statement of my beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is not so weak that it would waver on the saying of doctors. مَعاذَ الـلّٰـه! What are 20 years, more than 30 years have now passed, neither have I lessened my study of books, nor have I experienced any difficulty in my eye.”^[1]

Apne dil ka hai Onhi se araam, sawnpe hen apne Onhi ko sab kaam

Lo laghi hai ke ab Os dar ke ghulaam chaara e darde Raza karte hen

My heart finds rest with him alone; to him I have surrendered everything

Now it is hoped the servants of that court will cure Raza’s suffering

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers, you heard how firm Imam Ahmad Raza Khan’s trust was in the statements of the beloved Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم .  May Allah Almighty grant us firmness and certainty of faith for A’la Hazrat’s sake.
