Imam Ahmed Raza and Enjoining Good

to Mārharah Sharīf, my daughter said: 'Father! A parcel arrived from the Mawlānā Sahib of Bareilly (i.e., Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه).’ It contained the bands, the gold ring, and a letter. The letter stated: 'Dear princess! Both these ornaments are yours.'"^{^[1]}

Dear Islamic brothers! Remember, it is not permissible for men to wear gold rings, lockets, bracelets, bangles, and similar ornaments. Nowadays, some people eagerly wear rings and bangles made of gold or other various metals. This is impermissible, unlawful, and a deed that leads to the Hellfire.^{^[2]} For men, only that ring is permissible which resembles a man's ring, meaning it has only one gem. If it has more than one gem, even if it is made of silver, it is impermissible for men to wear.^{^[3]}

He posed questions to the Imam, who responded with great gentleness and affection, providing proofs from the Quran and Hadith. اَلحَمْدُ للہ the confusion that the person was experiencing was resolved. A few days later, a Ḥāfiẓ approached the Imam and said: " When that person (who
