Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (Radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said, “Blessing (barakah) is with your elders/ seniors.” Explanation: Elders refers to those who are experienced and punctual on good actions. Remain in their company so that you can follow their advices and attain guidance through emulating their ways. (Faydul Qadir, Hadith :3205)
Shafeequl Ummah Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Farooq Sahib رحمه الله has said that notwithstanding the immense khidmah our pious predecessors were involved in, they never compromised on:
1. Regular recitation of the Holy Qur’ān
2. Excessive Durood Shareef
3. Constancy in Tahajjud Salaah
