“When you see that a person loves Imam Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, then know that he is a person of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-JamāꜤah.”^[1]

Allah! Allah! What an exalted rank the scholars hold; whoever loves them becomes successful in both this world and the Hereafter. It is mentioned that a righteous person was seen in a dream after his passing, and he was asked:

مَا فَعَلَ اللہُ بِکَ
How did Allah Almighty treat you?

He replied: “Allah Almighty forgave me.”

When asked, “For what reason?” He answered: “Because of my love for Imam Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه.”^[2]

Dear Islamic brothers! Amīr Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ loves every scholar who is a devotee of the Messenger, but his love for Imam Aḥmad Riḍā Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه is truly remarkable. He says:

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! From childhood, I had already come to know Imam Aḥmad Riḍā Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه. As my understanding grew, the love for Imam Aḥmad Riḍā Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه continued to settle deeply in my heart. I say without any hesitation that recognition of Allah Almighty came to me through the sweet, beloved al-Muṣṭafā صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and recognition of the sweet, beloved al-Muṣṭafā صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was granted to me through Imam Aḥmad Riḍā رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه.^[3]
