From among the giants of the recent past was Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas Rahimahullah. He was considered as the revivalist of the 14th century Hijri. Allah Ta’ala used him to bring Deen alive, not only in India, but throughout the world. When Moulana noticed a rapid degeneration in the Deeni condition and religious values of
the Muslims of Mewat, south of Delhi, to the extent that it was difficult to differentiate between their beliefs and practices and the beliefs and practices of the kuffaar, Moulana became extremely concerned and commenced the work of Da’wat and Tabligh.
Moulana felt that the only way to reform and correct the Mewatis and bring them back onto Deen was through working among them and directly propagating Deen to them. Thus, with great difficulty Moulana commenced the work of Da’wat and Tabligh thereby motivating and encouraging people to join in the effort.
This kitaab is a collection of some of the beneficial statements and golden words of Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas Kandhelwi (rahimahullah). From his statements, one gauges the deep concern and love which he had for the
Ummah of Rasulullah (SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam) coming on the path of guidance.
May Allah Ta’ala accept this great effort and make it a means of tremendous benefit for the Ummah. Aameen.
(Moulana) Muhammad Ilyas Patel
