Ramadan of the EldersSome of the daily devotions of our elders [in the monthof Ramadan] are mentioned in Fađā’il-e-Ramađān. Shortlyafter, as my autobiography was being compiled, I addeda few other devotions of my Shaikh, Ĥađrat Sahāranpūrī,at the request of some friends. Considering the relevance of thesedevotions to the subject, I have narrated them again. I sent outa questionnaire to Ĥađrat Shaikh Ashraf ‘Alī Thānwī’s successorKhawāja ‘Azīz al-Ĥasan Majdhūb about Ĥađrat’s [ĤađratThānwī’s] devotions during Ramadan. When I received the reply,some friends insisted I answer these same questions about ĤađratSahāranpūrī as well. Therefore, I will first put up the questionsfrom the questionnaire and then answer about Ĥađrat Sahāranpūrī’sdevotions in light of the questionnaire.`Letter sent from Zakariyyā to Khawāja ‘Azīzal-Ĥasan MajdhūbMy friend Ĥađrat Khawāja [may Allah u increase you in yourhonor],al-Salāmu ‘Alaikum wa Raĥmat Allāh,It made me really happy to know that you have settled down inThāna Bawan for some time now. May Allah u increase yourprogress in Dīn.I am writing this letter at this time for a particular reason. Icouldn’t think of a better person to ask this favor from than yourself109
the ramadan of shaikh muĤ ammud zakariyyĀsince you are one of the closest to Ĥađrat; because of this I don’tthink you will find it hard to attend to this task.I actually wished to know Ĥađrat’s daily routine for the monthof Ramadan. My propriety towards him stops me from askingĤađrat himself and I won’t get much from staying for one or twodays, so I am making you a means of learning of his devotions. Ihope you will not feel burdened by this task. For your ease, I havealready prepared a questionnaire.1. What is his habit regarding the time he breaks his fast? Doeshe follow a preset timetable or go by the moon?2. If he follows a timetable, does he wait a few extra minutes orbreak the fast immediately?3. Does he break his fast with any specific food or with whateveris available? If it is something specific, what is it?4. How much time is given between ifţār and śalāt?5. Does he break his fast at home or in the school?6. Does he break his fast alone or with the gathering?7. Are dates and Zamzam important for ifţār?8. Is there any difference in the amount of voluntary śalāt heprays after Maghrib? How about any difference in the way it isprayed [e.g. is it longer]?9. Does he recite any specific suras in the voluntary śalāt?10. Regarding dinner after ifţār, i.e. what are the times for eating?Also, is there any increase or decrease in the amount he eats inRamadan?11. I learned that he listened to Qur’an in tarāwīĥ in the schoolthis year due to illness, but what is his routine otherwise? Doeshe recite himself and how much every day?12. Any specific day in which the Qur’an is completed e.g. on the27th or 29th or any other day?13. After tarāwīĥ, is it his habit to sit with his helpers or not?Does he leave for his home immediately after tarāwīĥ or after aperiod of time?14. Does he rest when he arrives at home or does he do something110
