Is there any other specific habit worthy of mention? Please,if you could give a detailed reply and if possible, could youask of Ĥađrat Ĥājī Imdād Allāh’s devotions [for the month ofRamadan] and send that also? If we could learn of his devotionsit would be excellent since no one [amongst the remaining elders]is more informed of the devotions of Ĥađrat Ĥājī Imdād Allāhthan Ĥađrat [Ĥađrat Thānwī]. I know this is difficult, but theroutines and devotions of our elders, being a most enlighteningexample for all the helpers, will be of great benefit, Allah uwilling.The reply.My friend, the respected one,al-Salāmu ‘Alaikum wa Raĥmat Allāh,111
