I will keep this brief, as it is a very emotional topic for me. In short, my Murshid El Sheikh Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani, out of the mercy of the Most High, imparted every good that may be in my character to me. Every talent and ability I might display, I received not from my schooling or upbringing, but it was brought into fruition by the care, compassion, and tutelage of my Imam. Yet, this is not a unique claim. I see the same being done for my brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews in this jamaat, yet his wisdom is never exhausted. The direction that others seek, but may never find, we have been lucky enough to have handed to us on a continuous basis by this most noble son of the Holy Last Messenger, peace be upon him, without any sort of discrimination or bias. There is no one on the face of this earth more broad-minded, caring and just. His knowledge is without limit, and his teachings are made available to all, Muslim and non-Muslim, without his asking for anything in return, only with the hope that mankind may be guided and loved by the Almighty in order to reach the true purpose of their being created.
