Book Name:Amīr Ahl al-Sunnah’s Love for Islamic Scholars
explain it are Rabbānī scholars.
اللہ اکبر! Just reflect for a moment: those who are the chosen servants of Allah Almighty, the heirs of the religion—criticising them instead of loving them, trying to distance people from them, and showing disrespect towards them—what a grave crime this is! May Allah Almighty grant us love for the scholars.
The
second Caliph of the Muslims, Sayyidunā ꜤUmar al-Fārūq رَضِىَ
اللّٰهُ
عَـنْهُ, said:
“Acquire knowledge; if you are unable to do so, then love those who possess
knowledge. And if you cannot love them, then at least do not harbour hatred or
enmity towards them.”[1]
May Allah Almighty grant us true respect, love, and reverence for the people of knowledge.
اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ
Seeking Supplications from the ꜤUlamāˈ
One very beautiful habit of Amīr Ahl al-Sunnah Mawlānā Muhammad Ilyas al-Qādirī دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ is that, due to his love for the scholars, whenever he visits them, he especially requests them to supplicate for him. He states at one place: “Not hundreds, but thousands of supplications of Islamic scholars are with me.”[2]
During the lifetime of Sayyidunā Ghazālī al-Zamān ꜤAllāmah Sayyid Aḥmad SaꜤīd al-Kāẓimī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, whenever Amīr Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ would travel to Multan Sharīf, he would certainly present himself in his presence and receive abundant supplications from him.[3]
O devotees of the Prophet! The love of Amīr Ahl al-Sunnah Mawlānā Muhammad Ilyas al-Qādirī دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ for the scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah is
