Book Name:Amīr Ahl al-Sunnah’s Love for Islamic Scholars
6. He adopted this Madani objective: “I must strive to reform myself and people of the entire world اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه.” Carrying this objective, he did not differentiate between day and night; he continued striving tirelessly. By the grace of Allah Almighty, the special attention of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and the blessings of the noble saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ, the religious message of Dawat-e-Islami spread throughout the world.
He would: travel to distant places, deliver several speeches in a single day, go from masjid to masjid, village to village, city to city, and invite people towards righteousness.
Whenever a death occurred, he would, out of sympathy, consolation, and goodwill, personally bathe the deceased, shroud them, and lead the funeral prayer. On occasions of sorrow and happiness, he would please Muslims in such a heartfelt manner that they themselves would become companions in spreading the invitation to righteousness.
As a result of his continuous efforts, those who did not offer prayer became regular worshippers—even Imams of masājid. Those with immoral gazes became modest; those who hurt their parents became respectful. Thieves and robbers came, repented, abandoned crime, and became honourable members of society. Those burning in jealousy became grateful and well‑wishers; lovers of films and songs became reciters and listeners of praise of al‑Muṣṭafā صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Those intoxicated with sinful worldly love became devotees of the Greatest and Final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Those chasing wealth became seekers of the pleasure of Allah Almighty. Drunkards came, repented, and became pure individuals. The heedless came and became worshippers; the misguided found the straight path; and thousands of non‑Muslims were blessed with the wealth of Islam.
Thus, people kept joining one by one, two by two; the caravan continued to grow, and اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, this religious message of inviting towards righteousness spread across the entire world.
