I FOUND MY CALLING UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF MAULANA - Mr. Haroon Shaikh, Mumbai
Al-Risala (English), August-September 2021, p. 33
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan is named as the default author of the periodical; a piece that carries another writer’s byline is credited to that writer.
He was a sincere seeker of the truth. Simplicity was his unique trademark. Humility came naturally to him. He was a paragon of peace and the originator of the famous “Hudaybiyah Principle.” Yes, he had numerous qualities of head and heart. However, one sterling trait of this sage stands out: his incredible concern for humankind. If anyone wants to see sympathy, compassion and concern in flesh and blood, he just needs to glance through the life of this amazing person. A voice that beckoned humanity to return to humanity has gone silent. Wordsworth may once again rise up to say: A voice so thrilling ne’er was heard In spring-time from the cuckoo bird Breaking the silence of the seas Among the furthest Hebrides Let this lone voice now become a crescendo. Let it strike more chords! Let more strings reverberate and resound with the message of a reformer who has now returned to his Creator. Farewell, sire! No nightingale did ever chant More welcome notes to weary bands! https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid= 10158520805449608&id=562019607
