If there was a substance on this earth that was totally perfect without fault, I would want to know it.  If it helped me before I even knew I needed help I would love it.  If it loved me without reason known to me all I could do is cry and ask why.  If truth spread across the oceans from its lips I would be speechless with wonder.  If it reformed my community, my friends, my family, and me into ideal citizens and Muslims I would kiss its feet and beg to be closer.

This substance does exist; he is Shaikh Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani.  History proves to us in the stories of Prophets and people of the past that whenever someone helped the poor or defended the weak they were ostracized, condemned and persecuted by those who had more worldly power, wealth and affluence.  This is what is happening to our beloved Shaikh who never thinks of himself but on the contrary has dedicated his life to calling people to Allah and helping those who are less fortunate.
