Chapter Nine• The adhān of ‘Ishā was given at 7:30 p.m. and ‘Ishā then tarāwīĥbegan at 8 p.m.• Tarāwīĥ was led by Ĥađrat’s son-in-law Shaikh Salmān. He hasrecited approximately eighteen Qur’an in tarāwīĥ to Ĥađrat. Hearrived in South Africa before Ramadan from Sahāranpūr. Inthe first years, he recited three parts in every tarāwīĥ. Ĥađratexplained that the reason [three parts were recited] was so thatpeople who arrive late are not deprived of listening to the wholeQur’an in Ramadan. But due to Ĥađrat’s illness, this routinecould not be upheld and it was decreased to one part. Ramadanbegan with one and a quarter part and then one part each dayuntil the Qur’an was completed on the 29th. Shaikh recites theQur’an clearly and fluently. Sometimes, during the śalāt he loseshis voice and cries, moving the hearts of the listeners who arestanding behind him.• Sura Yāsīn and du‘ā after ‘Ishā• The reading session is managed by Shaikh Shāhid, who isĤađrat’s grandson and successor and Shaikh Inām al-Ĥasan’sson-in-law. He is one of the acclaimed graduates of Mażāhiral-‘Ulūm Sahāranpūr and the author of Tārīkh-e-Mażāhir. Thereading session was held after a reading of the hadiths of śalātand salām. This year, two books Fađā’il-e-Ramađān and Akābirkā Ramađān were read. The only exception was Saturday nightin which the odes of Jāmī, the odes from Qaśīda Bihāria Nānautiaand Maut kī Yād were sung.• During the weekend, people met with Ĥađrat after ‘Ishā [i.e.after the book] and bottles of water and honey were broughtin for blowing into for blessings. So many people came withhoney and almonds [to be blown into] that the local stores ranout their supply while the number of bottles had also increasedto the extent that it became difficult for Ĥađrat to blow intothem. Then, two tanks were brought in and filled with water.After Ĥađrat blew into them, the water from the two tanks wasdistributed amongst the people. In the end, Ĥađrat blew intotwo gallons of water that were then poured into the tank water.101
the ramadan of shaikh muĤ ammud zakariyyĀIn the beginning, women also came for tarāwīĥ in the tentsnear the masjid. Loudspeakers were installed on the minaretsso they could listen to the recitation of the Qur’an, but whenMuftī Maĥmūd objected to this, the loudspeakers were removed.The women were told not to attend the congregation but thatif they wished they could listen to the Qur’an in the hall. MuftīMaĥmūd and Shaikh ‘Abd al-Ĥakīm delivered the talks beforeJumu‘a while Shaikh ‘Abd al-Ĥāfiż was permanently in charge ofJumu‘a. He also led in all the du‘ās throughout the blessed month.Shaikh ‘Abd al-Ĥāfiż is also one of the respected successors ofĤađrat who has been blessed him with an elevated spiritual rankand is also a graduate of Mażāhir al-‘Ulūm Sahāranpūr.Observations, Reflections and ResultsĤađrat’s coming to a place of disbelief [kufr] was undoubtedly araĥma and blessing and a clear sign that brought out truth [ĥaqq]from falsehood [bāţil]. He changed the climate of the country andpeople began feeling a spiritual revolution within them. Even thosewho were opposed to Ĥađrat became regretful.اَلْفَضْ‏ لُ‏ مَا شَ‏ هِدَ‏ تْ‏ بِهِ‏ االْ‏ ‏َعْدَ‏ اءُ‏Greatness is that which the enemies bear witness toPeople from every class and walk of life were amazed by thismiraculous turn of events. When they entered the environs of thisarea abounding in spiritual liveliness, they found the panacea forthe spiritual sicknesses afflicting their hearts. They gained a peaceof mind and tranquility that they would have never been able toachieve through their own efforts and plans alone. Thousands ofpeople came in droves from every corner of the country drivenonly by the love of Allah u.Scholars, students, labor workers/white-collar workers, businessmen,hadith masters, jurists, and sufis all gathered in this placeto be filled with the light of īmān and awareness of Allah u.
