he is facing any problem, then he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ could earn the reward of looking after his welfare by resolving his problem.

Alas! Today, our state is such that there are a large number of Islamic sisters who do not even inquire after their Islamic sisters. We don’t even realise if those Islamic sisters who hang around with us are absent; as where are they and why didn’t they come? We don’t make efforts to inquire after them either to see whether a calamity has befallen them or have they fallen ill? 

If only we could also act upon the Seerah of Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ and look after the welfare of Islamic sisters. If anyone living with us, working with us, offering Salah with us, inviting towards good with us, delivering/listening to Dars and Bayan, attending Madani Muzakarah regularly, attending the weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ regularly, in short, if any Islamic sister did not come any day, then we shall inquire after her visiting her home, or at least over the phone.

In this relation, let’s hear about the practices of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, ‘Allamah Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ.

Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ and his welfare for the Ummah

Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ carries out the welfare of Muslims. When he دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ finds out that a certain Islamic brother is facing a difficulty or has fallen ill, then he دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ inquires after him. He دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ supplicates for the ill to be recovered and for the hardship of the distressed to be removed.

If he finds out about the death of a Muslim, then he دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ condoles deceased’s relatives over the phone or through voice message. He دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ supplicates for the forgiveness of the deceased. While condoling the household, he دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ blesses them with invitation towards righteousness and grants pieces of advice pertaining to the virtues of observing patience. He دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ has also persuaded for this in the ‘Virtuous actions’ that he has blessed us with:
