Caution with regards to Madrasah Property
(Mûhåmmåð Årslåñ Îlyäs, Karachi,Pakistan)
Maulana Zuhurul Haq Sahib رحمہ
اللہ used to be in charge of the kitchen at the madrasah’s annual jalsah. His
work kept him in madrasah, but he never ate from the madrasah meals. He sent for
food from his home. His degree of caution was such, that he would not even taste
the salt of the food during the preparation of the meals. Instead he would call
a student to taste it, though this tasting was not for his benefit, rather for
the madrasah.

Moulana Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri Sahib رحمہ اللہ was seated on the madrasah
cushion which is provided for the asaatizah to use whilst teaching. Someone
approached him for some personal mashwara. At once he got up and sat at another
spot. When he was asked about the reason for moving, he replied: “The cushion
has been provided by the madrasah for teaching and not for personal mashwaras.”
Through the caution of our Ulama, there was such barkat in their knowledge and
their students, that it brightened up the entire world. (Discourse of Mufti
