i had the good fortune of personally meeting mufti rasheed ahmed saheb shaheed (ra). we used to see him everyday in salaat in the little time that i spent there. at the time he seemed a bit 'scary' lol. but when i met him he had a beautiful smile and made you feel welcome and that he was happy that you had come to meet him. i got the impression that if it wasnt for the chamchas or security threat then he would have been a lot more easily approachable and that he would have been happy about it.

ماشاءالله

Sheikh, did you ever see someone else meeting Hazrat?

There was a majlis every week after the Jumuah bayan inside. Mureeds were allowed there. Hazrat would talk to everyone himself, ask for details, etc.

I've spend alot of time with Hazrat. I haven't seen him meeting with anyone ever. His rules were same for everyone.

Once a guy gifted hazrat a very expensive watch and then said hazrat i'm going for Hajj or Umrah, please give me half an hour from your time. Hazrat said, sorry,i can only give you 5 mins as i give everyone else.

But yes, there were alot of guards.
