Cured through the Blessings of Mawlid

Miān Ghulam Ḥaydar رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ was a great pious predecessor. He had a spiritual disciple (murīd) named Jumuah who was very fond of reciting Milad Namas written by scholars. Once, Miān Ghulam Ḥaydar رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ came to Dhādar city for some work.

All his disciples came to meet him except for the one named Jumuah. Miān Sahib رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ  inquired about him and learned that he had been ill for the past year and a half, and he was unable to walk. Miān Sahib رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ had him brought over and said: "Recite the Milad Nama tonight! Allah Almighty will grant goodness." The disciple obeyed his spiritual guide’s command and recited all night with full conviction. By the grace of Allah Almighty, the next morning, when he tried to stand, he stood up on his own with the support of a staff. Through the blessings of reciting the Milad Nama, he recovered and walked back home on his own feet.

O devotees of the Holy Prophet  صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ , the blessed month, the month of light, RabīꜤ al-Awwal marks the birth of the Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ . With its arrival, a tide of joy surges through the hearts of those who love the Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ . Young and old alike, every true Muslim rejoices.
