Conclusion
First know something, then try to know A‘lahazrat, is my
humble suggestion. Please don’t make haste in appreciating
or criticizing A‘lahazrat. Please don’t be
pre-determined or prejudiced. Whatever subject you know
well, ask for a book of A‘lahazrat on that subject. Make a
discreet study. First study, then comment.
I was
not an admirer of A‘lahazrat by birth. When I studied
A‘lahazrat on Economics, I had to concede his talent in
the subject. It is very easy to remark "what can
Mawlawi know about Economics". But now I know what he
knows. (Dr.) Sir Zia al-din was not an admirer of
A‘lahazrat initially but when he saw the charisma of his
knowledge in the field of Mathematics, he said. "A‘lahazrat
deserved Nobel prize". (Dr.) Prof. Mas'ud Ahmad was not
an admirer of A‘lahazrat initially but when he studied
A‘lahazrat, he called him a Mojza (miracle) of Holy
Prophet (Allah’s Grace and Peace be upon him). Prof. Mirza
Nizamuddin Beg was not an admirer of A‘lahazrat initially.
He believed that a pure Mawlawi could never utter a
beautiful couplet when he studied the poetry of A‘lahazrat
and specially Qasida-i-Merajia, he termed it as the
best Qasida, the Urdu poetry has ever produced.
When you
are able to know A‘lahazrat in one subject or the other,
go on studying him in more and more subjects. You will not
find him short of subjects. Study him as much as you can.
Study him as deep as you can. The more you study, the more
you will find. But all this depends upon what you know. The
more you know, the more you will find in A‘lahazrat. If
you know nothing, you will find nothing in him as zero
multiplied by any figure comes to zero.
A‘lahazrat
was a name that lived. A‘lahazrat is a name that lives.
A‘lahazrat is a name to live. It is A‘lahazrat on whom
research is being made at California University, U.S.A.,
Leiden University, Holland, Columbia University, U.S.A.,
Ceylon, Azhar University, Egypt, Karachi University, Sindh
University, Punjab University of Pakistan. The Patna
University of India has already conferred degree of Ph.D. on
Dr. Hasan Riza Khan for his work on A‘lahazrat. It is
A‘lahazrat whose fatwa is referred to by every Mufti
of today. It is A‘lahazrat whose Na‘atia poetry
is recited in every Islamic meeting. It is A‘lahazrat on
whom about 5000 books, brochures and articles have been
written so far and the number is increasing day by day,
according to a Research scholar of Sindh University,
Pakistan.
Men have
studied A‘lahazrat, men are studying A‘lahazrat and men
would study A‘lahazrat. Be one of them, please. Suggestion
is ours, decision is yours. Just glance over any book of
A‘lahazrat, you will know A‘lahazrat at a glance.
