Qurbani A Profound Obligation
اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه He had his ʿimāmah tied at the graduation ceremony by the Reviver of Islam, Imam Aḥmad Razā Khān, رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه. He also pledged spiritual allegiance to him, and at the tender age of 18, was declared a successor of the great imam.[1]
Quṭb al-Madinah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه travelled to Madinah from Baghdad in 1327 AH, and he had the honour of residing there for approximately 75 years.[2] His eyesight weakened towards the end of his life, and when doctors insisted on him going to Jeddah for treatment, he proclaimed, "This pauper cannot leave Madinah for the sake of his eyes."[3]
Quṭb al-Madinah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه recounts:
When I first arrived in Madinah, I once remained hungry for 7 days. On the 7th day, when I was overcome with extreme hunger, an awe-inspiring person visited me and gave me three pouches. One contained honey, the second flour, and the third ghee. After giving me these, he said he would go to the market to bring more items.
After a short while, he returned with a box of tea leaves and sugar. He gave them to me and then immediately left. I wanted to inquire more about what had just happened, so I went in pursuit of him. Yet, he had completely disappeared from my view.
