I attended the program of Hazrat Maulana (DB) today after Maghrib at Masjid Falaah. Maulana spoke about adopting taqwa and sitting in the company of the "mutaqeen". He used the example of the extreme close companionship of Nabi and Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA). He also spoke of experiences of his father and his own with Qari Sideeq Ahmed Bandwi he said he once wrote a letter to Qari Sahib that he is going to visit him for a few days, Qari Sahib was already in hospital awaiting an eye operation when he received Maulana Mazhar Sahibs letter. He then delayed the operation and went to the khanqah so that he could be in the company of Hazrat. Tomorrow, Hazrat will be in Rustenburg Also, Mufti Ahmed Khanpuri (DB) is in the country and tomorrow he will be speaking at Masjid Hamidiyya in Newtown, JHB.
