Sahibzada Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri spoke on the topic of the Holy Prophet’s
(blessings & peace be upon him) “Attribute of Gnosis”. He said that everything in
the world owed itself to the gnosis of the Holy Prophet (blessings & peace be upon
him). That is why the blessed soul of the Holy Prophet (blessings & peace be upon
him) is present in every age. Referring to a tradition, he said that when one gets
back home, one should say “Assalam-o-Alakium” in accordance with the saying of the
Holy Prophet (blessings & peace be upon him). And when there is no one at home,
one should offer Durood. He said that none is luckier than him who got nearness
to the Holy Prophet (blessings & peace be upon him), for in this way he succeeded
not only this world but also in the hereafter.

After the telephonic speech of Sahibzada Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri, Allama Ahmad

during the month of May stood at 58 corers, 13 lakhs, 28 thousand and 86 and the

On the conclusion of the programme, all participants stood up and presented Durood-o-Salam
on the person of the Holy Prophet (blessings & peace be upon him). Waqas Ali Wasil
