Before even setting foot on the fertile land of Hyderabad last night, I received a call from Hazrat Mufti Tasleemuddin Sahib, inquiring when I would be arriving. I replied that, Insha'Allah, I would be there in a few moments. Upon reaching the residence, I refreshed myself and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious Hyderabadi biryani. After that, I offered prayers and spent some time in worship. Around twelve o'clock at night, Hazrat Mufti Tasleemuddin Sahib called again, expressing his desire to meet. I too had a great desire to meet Hazrat Mufti Sahib. Soon after, Hazrat Mufti Sahib arrived, and we both enjoyed a glass of mausambi juice together. After that, Hazrat Mufti Sahib took me to Idara Wafaq Al-Makatib, located on the second floor of Muhammadi Masjid, his residence. This institution, under the supervision of scholars, is running approximately two and a half thousand Makatib (schools) in Hyderabad and surrounding areas, where thousands of children are being provided with education, training, and complete facilities. Seeing the arrangement of countless books of various kinds, dresses, and other educational supplies, I felt heartfelt joy and happiness.
I had the opportunity to have a long conversation with Hazrat Mufti Sahib for about four to five hours on scholarly, intellectual, reformative, and other diverse topics, which is a matter of great joy and good fortune for me. I will always cherish these precious moments in my memories, Insha'Allah.
Hazrat Mufti Tasleemuddin Sahib is a great religious scholar, virtuous, and pious Mufti. He is the author of several books, an excellent essayist, and possesses countless commendable qualities, Masha'Allah. I was even more pleased when Hazrat Mufti Sahib, out of love and kindness, gifted me his valuable books. This gift is a source of immense joy and good fortune for me.
I sincerely pray to Allah Almighty that He always grants Hazrat Mufti Sahib success and prosperity, keeps him happy, joyful, and safe, and grants us the ability to benefit from his knowledge and blessings.
Aameen, Thumma Aameen, Ya Rabb al-'Aalameen.
