The following episode will answer the questions, doubts and anxieties of many Mureedeen who are overwhelmed with grief by the departure of our Shaikh, Hadhrat Masihullah (Rahmatullahi alayh).
Once a Mureed asked Hadhrat Masihullah: “The thought often comes to my mind: When Hadhrat passes away what should I do?”
Hadhrat replied: “Look at the condition of the followers while the Shaikh is alive. When they do not engage in even Thikr while the Shaikh is alive, what can be expected of them when he passes away?”
Hadhrat then added:
“When the last moments of Haji Imdaadullah Sahib were approaching, people were greatly worried. What will happen after his demise?
But after his death a great Star of Knowledge and Piety appeared on the horizon. The greatest Wali of the time, Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (Rahmatullah alayh) was raised for the welfare of the Ummah.
If followers are sincere in the quest for Islaah, Allah Ta’ala will most definitely provide for such sincere devotees.”
