He replied: ‘I’ll be right back.’ He then performed Nikah very peacefully and made a lengthy Du’a. The person says that Kaazimi Shah Sahib رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه had to return home quickly as guests had arrived. But, in spite of that, he gave so much time that we all became very happy. (Hayat-e-Ghazali-e-Zama, pp. 244, summarised)

Ghazali-e-Zaman and pleasing poor people

Similarly, an Islamic scholar narrates: Once, a poor person came from an area within the city of Multan Shareef and requested: ‘I have arranged a Mahfil of Milad at my house to attain blessings. I’d like you to come and deliver a bayan.’

‘Allamah Kaazimi Shah Sahib رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه promised to come after ‘Isha. I also accompanied him. After ‘Isha, we reached the person’s house who then took us to the second storey of his house. At that time, there were only 4 or 5 people present. This was that gathering in which Ghazali-e-Zaman had to deliver a bayan. Hazrat Ghazali-e-Zaman رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه showed no signs of displeasure and delivered a bayan for approximately 1 hour. The person could not give anything due to poverty. Kaazimi Shah Sahib رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه returned in an utterly calm and peaceful manner, and on the way back, he said to me: ‘If I did not deliver bayan at that time, the person’s heart would have broken and now he is very happy.’(Hayat-e-Ghazali-e-Zama, pp. 396, summarised)

Methods of pleasing others

Dear Islamic sisters! Ghazali-e-Zaman, ‘Allamah Sayyid Ahmad Sa’eed Kaazimi’s رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه passion to please others was amazing. Even today, if we want to adopt the passion to please others, many methods come to mind. For example:

   ٭Visiting a sick Islamic sister

   ٭Offering condolence

   ٭Sympathising with an Islamic sister who has suffered loss
