Book Name:Tarbiyat e Aulad
Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه, due to the environment at home being good, he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه completed the recitation of the Quran at a very young age of four and a half years. At the age of 6, during the blessed month of Rabi’-ul-Awwal, he delivered an excellent speech on the topic of Milad-un-Nabi in a large gathering in the presence of many great scholars and Shaykhs, receiving a great acclaim. It was also at the age of 6 that he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه found out the direction of Baghdad and never stretched his legs towards the direction of Ghaus-e-A’zam’s رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه blessed city throughout his entire life. He رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه had devotional love for Salah, thus, he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would offer five daily Salahs in congregation with the first Takbeer in the Masjid; whenever he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would come across a woman, he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would immediately lower his gaze. It was at the age of 7 that he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه began to keep the fasts of Ramadan-ul-Mubarak. (Tazkirah Imam Ahmad Raza, p. 3)
