Shab-e-Meraj-1429H/2008E

Hazrat Abdul Hamid Sahab Qibla,Khalifa-e-Mufti Azam Hind from South Africa,came to Bangalore on 29th July,a day before Shab-e-Meraj.Hazrat was given the tital of Bilal-e-Mufti Azam Hind,he was present during the Gusl of Mufti Azam Hind AlaihRehmat!

I had the honour to be with him full night of Shab-e-Meraj.He came to Dargah-o-Masjid Hazrat Tawakkal Mastan shah AlaihRehmat,Majestic around 1:30am,there he first went to darbar and then gave a short but powerful speech in mosque,later people did ba'it on his hand.Then we went to Kausar Nagar to a brother's house,there he asked me to recite a Na'at,I recited AlaHazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan AlaihRehmat 's kalam

Pul se Utaro Raah Guzar Ko Khabar Na Ho
Jibreel Par Bichayien To Par ko Khabar Na Ho ..

he too joined me in reciting the kalam,after i finished he gave dua's to me saying ALLAHummaZidFazid 3 times.Then we came back to place where he was boarding,full night he stayed back to give Taweez and Aurad to people,in fajar he asked me to lead the prayers (as he is Shafa'i Maslak)but i told him my u'zr ,so he lead the prayers.After praying we had silent zikr,dua and then Salam.He was very calm and humble whenever somebody would kiss his hands he would kiss theirs.A brother asked his Turban ,he gave it to him,another asked for his Handkerchief he gave straight away.
Now we started preparing to leave,as i had office and Mufti sahab needed some rest.we all went to him to say bye.when i went to him, i kissed his hands and feet's,he hugged me, i started weeping he said don't worry we'll meet soon,he gave his Shawl to me!
On Saturday 2nd Aug,he was back to Bangalore from Mysore.I reached around 3:30pm to meet him.He saw me and smiled.after lunch he started preparing for his flight for Mumbai.last time when i met him he hugged me,i kissed his hands and feet's,he said next time you get the call from Consultant for South Africa directly come I'll receive you! inshahALLAH azzawajal.

Just a year back on same day i.e Shab-e-Meraj i met another Khalifa of Mufti Azam hind,Sarparast Dawat-e-Islami Mufti Abdul Haleem Sahab Qibla in Chennai's Jamia Majid WalaJaahi.There also i had the honour to meet him exclusively,we had dinner together then we went to Masjid where Mufti Sahab delivered speech and after that went back to his place.It was around 12am,he asked him for dua's he gave so many dua's to me,I told him that i want to meet Ameer-e-AhleSunnat he humbly replied you have met Gareeb-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat now you'll soon Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat! so humble! I kissed his hands he kissed me saying 'I hope every engineer wears Imama Shareef! I had trouble in transfer to Bangalore,i told him about this he did dua' and on Monday when i reached office i was told that I'm moving to Bangalore within 2 weeks.
I still remember a funny instance.Next day when Mufti Sahab was leaving for Hyderabad his Train from Chennai railway station was at 11pm,i was 5 late to station,i prayed to ALLAH that his train should be late by 10-15 minutes.Luckily when i reached station i found him,but the train was 6 hours late!!!!
