In a special ecstatic spiritual state Hadhrat Mawlana Hussain Ahmad Madni (may Allah have mercy on him) said,

“We are the essence of Imam Abu Hanifa and the strength of Imam Malik.

We are the steadfastness of Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal; the purity of heart of Hadhrat Mujaddid Alf-Thani;

the insight of Hadhrat Shah Waliullah Muhaddith Dehlawi,

and we are the heirs of those people who have died and sacrificed to bring us our religion.

So you may be able to take our lives but you will never take our Islam from our hearts.”

From:at Talib

Mawlana Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi said in regards to Shaykh Shah Wasiullah (may Allah have mercy on them),

“Those who attended his discourses not only felt the aroma of faith, the zest of worship and awareness of Here-after but also became aware of their own short comings and their unique personal spiritual ailments.

They left these gatherings not only with spiritual satisfaction but with a desire to change their present condition, feeling burdened with the previous mistakes and remorseful on the life already wasted.

This is the real benefit and result of being in presence (suhba) of and attending the spiritual discourses of the the pious (ahl Allah), the spiritual physicians (musliheen).

O Messenger of Allah!
“Allah said, ‘And when they having been unjust to their own selves and come to you and seek Allah’s forgiveness………..

 O Messenger! I have come to you seeking forgiveness from Allah for my sins and seeking your intercession on my behalf, and supplications that I remain steady and die on your way (Sunna) and I am raised amongst your followers on the day of Judgement. Amin!
