Description :
This book is a diary of memories of Brother Faizan Ashrafi who was privileged to accompany Hadrat Shaykh al Islam during his Journey of
Hajj in 2005. This diary is not only an account of a physical travelling; instead it is a beautiful, thought provoking, account of a spiritual as well as intellectual journey consisting of :
---1. Enormous and intense love of a
mureed (disciple) for his shaykh,
---2. Extra-ordinary expression of respect of a disciple for his Master,
---3. Poetic flavour,
---4. Structered information on important issues pertaining to the beliefs of the
Ahl
us-Sunnah.
---5. Interesting and useful conclusions on
shari'ah laws,
---6. A good practising Islamic guide for all readers.
Shaykh al Islam w'al-Muslimeen, Hadrat Allama wa Mawlana Sayyad Muhammad Madani Ashrafi al-Jilani,
may Allah preserve and protect him,
is one of the most highly respected Scholars of Islam in the
contemporary world. Through his discourses and wise words he has made a
tremendous impact on thousands of Muslims all over the world. He is also
a Shaykh, a Sufi, and a Master of Spiritual Traditions. He belongs to a
highly respected family of
Sadaat in the Sub-Continent. He comes
from the
Ashrafi family of Kicchaucha Shareef, in northern India. His
father was a famous and prominent scholar of
Hadith and a great shaykh,
rightly honoured by his contemporary
ulama and shaykhs, as
Muhaddith-e-Azam-e-Hind, (a prime scholar of
Hadith in India),
may Allah have mercy upon him.
Shaykh
al Islam, has been visiting Britain for the last 40 years. During his
regular tours he has dedicated himself for the preaching of Islam
according to the traditions of the
Ahl us Sunnah w'al-Jama'ah up and
down the country. His lectures and spiritual discourses have transformed
the minds and hearts of thousands of old and young, male and female. Shaykh Madani miyan has authored numerous books, and most recently completed a commentary of the Qur'an in
urdu, called
Tafsir al-Ashrafi.
There is a famous saying that a moment's insight is sometimes worth a lifetime's experience. In this diary I have found many such moments of insight, I am sure it will be a good reading of spiritual, religious and educational delight.
