Maulana Ilyas Attar Qadri
One of the most influential personalities in the saint's history, Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadri........
His brother & mother also passes away:
Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat's elder brother, Abdul Ghani, supported him till his youth & then he passed away in a train accident. Short-time after his brother's death, his mother also passed away. These tragedies made him depressed & he expressed his grievance feelings in a poetry:
(more or less translation from poetry in Urdu)
Preaching:
There are still such people on the face of earth who are only struggling to make people ignore the worldly beauty of America, London & Europe. & rather deeply wish to visit Madina-tun-Nabi, (the city of Prophet). The world is still not emply from such pious people who are making people to love the traditions of prophet & leave the fashions of this dunya. The purpose of the lives of these pious people is to connect people with Allah Almighty & his beloved Prophet. Indeed, Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat, Moulana Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadri mudda zillul'ali is one of those great personalities, who are correcting the society. Thousands of people have repented from their sins because of his sincere efforts. This include such people who used to loot & ruin the honour of others, but now the same people are providing security to others. Countless drinkers, the addictive to Heroin have become respectful citizens of the society because of the blessed company of Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat. Therefore, it is narrated a story of a destructive person in Karachi here.
A drinker breakes the bottle of wine:
This person, who was lost in drinking & other worldly pleasures, happened to pass the madani markaz of Dawat-e-Islami during the 27th night of Ramadan-ul-Mubarak. So many islamic brothers were mu'takaf there. Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat was making du'a in his specific style. The fear of Allah (azzawajal) was dominating the ijtim'a, people were weeping. This gangster heard the voice of the cries, his heart softened & he hide the bottle of wine behind a pole of electricity & then joined the du'a. Because of the du'a that Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat was making, his heart started getting soften & now his body was shaking with the fear of Allah Almighty, his eyes were getting wet with tears, the star of his luck brightened & he had repented from his sins. When the du'a finished, he broke the bottle of wine. subhaan Allah
The story of the repentence of a dangerous criminal:
Once, one of the Muballigh (preacher) of Dawat-e-Islami brought such a man to Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat, who was very dangerous criminal. He had committed the crimes of three different murders. Moreover, he had been to jail for several times. He told Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat that he had wanted to live as a christian for the rest of his life. However, your this muballigh has taken me to you. If you can satisfy me, it's ok; otherwise, I would go to church the next morning & accept christianity & will start committing crimes again. Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat listened him attentively & then start suggesting him with love & care. The sweet sentences that Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat spoke penetrated in his heart & after few moments, he was kissing Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat's hands. With the grace of Allah Almighty, now he had abstained from the intention of become christian. Nevertheless, since he had made the intention to become christian, therefore, according to the order of Shari'at (Islamic Law), he had become murtad. Therefore, Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat asked him to repent & entered in Islam again. Alhamdulillah! He also did the bai'a on the hands of Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat & became the mureed of Sayyiduna Ghous-e-Azam (Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu).
Subhaan Allah! These are such revolutionary changed that can be seen because of Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat. Similary, several people have become regular & punctual at their prayers because of the madani company of Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat. Those who used to read romantic & unethical novels are now seen reciting Qur'an & poetry in the praise of Propet. Those who used to watch dramas & unethical movies are now seen restless in the wish of visiting Madina-tun-Nabi, (the city of Prophet). Likewise, a large number of patients of sins have been cured by Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat.
Several other sins like back-biting, disobedience to the parents, shaving the beard or keeping it less than one full hand, the unislamic customs of the weddings, singing music, the greediness of this dunya that are not considered to be sins in the society anymore are highly talked about by Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat. The way a medicine will not cure a disease without knowing it, the same way no one can save himself from a sin unless he considers it a sin. This is why, Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat made the great awareness of such sins in the society.
Good Attitude (Husn-e-Akhlaq):
The good attitude of Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat has contributed a lot in the progress of Dawat-e-Islami. Allah has blessed Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat with great Husn-e-Akhlaq. He meets with everyone with a gentle smile. It is seen that where one would get very angry, we would keep smiling at such occasions. Even such incidents are witnessed that Ameer-e-Ahlsunnat is walking on a street & people would shout bad words, but he would pray for their forgiveness & would not curse in return. if Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat had taunted someone because of the undisciplined madani work, he would immidiately make him happy, mostly by presenting some gifts.
Three talaq to anger:
He often advises muballigheen (preachers) that if you want to do madani work, then you should give three divorces to anger. Because if someone frequently gets angry, he can't do the madani work. He further says that if you can't present anyone, then just meet people with attention & smile, it will be enough to win their hearts. He also says that if you move your hand on the back of a cat with love, the cat would bend his back in a curve & start rubbing his body with your legs. When an animal receives love, starts rubbing his body with your legs, then what about a human being who is given sense. Moreover, he says, remember! "Heart, not with sword, but can be won with husn-e-akhlaq".
Forgiveness:
One of the great qualities of Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat is that he doesn't take revenge from his personal enemies. He often says that if some one has hurt me or cursed me, I have forgiven him. Even if someone does so in future, I have forgiven him in advance. Because I have read in Hadees-e-Pak, the translation of which goes like that one companion (radi Allahu ta'ala anhu) came to Prophet & requested, Ya Rasool Allah! I don't have any wealth that I donate, but I have made attention that who ever deprives me of my right, I have forgiven him in advance. At this, Sayyaduna Jibra'il (alaihis salam) came to Prophet & requested that Allah says to give good news to your this companion that you being an abd (worshipper) forgives other people; therefore, We being the creator forgive you too.
Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat often advises Muballigheen & other Islamic brothers to always control the anger. He says that you make those happy who break with you. Whoever deprives you, you give him & never take revenge & don't even think to do so from Muslims. Just forgive others for the sake of the pleasure of Allah. Because Allah says in Qur'an: "& who restrain anger & who pardon men & virtuous people are dear to Allah." (4:134 Translation from Kanzul Iman)
If some one assassinates me...
The quality of the forgiveness of Ameer-e-Ahlesunnat can be further seen from this that he sometimes say to his mu'taqadeen (people associated with him) that supposedly if some one assassinates me, do not say anything to my murderer & do not go to any court because I have already forgiven all the miseries & problem that may come from Muslims. I also ask my family to forgive their rights & they should not go to court either. No one is allowed to go on strike & disturb the daily works in my country. Even if I get some honor & rank on the day of resurrection, I would not enter in the heaven without taking my murderer provided that he had died as a Muslim on faith. Because if he had not assassinated me, I would not have gotten martyrdom. Therefore, why shouldn't I pay heed to he who gave me martyrdom.
