Do not follow me if I do not follow…….

Mawlana Abd al-Razzaq al-Qadiri (may Allah have mercy on him)of Bansa (1636-1724), told his students:

“Watch me.

So long as I follow our pious predecessors, follow me; and if I do not follow our pious predecessors, do not follow me.

Our predecessors were better than we are, because they lived closer to the time of the Holy Prophet.”
