Hadhrat Reciting His Chapter of the Holy Qur’an

Thereafter, followed by Zuhar Salaah, the people would gather for Dhikr. When the Asr Salaah was performed, Mufti Yahya saahib and hakim Ilyas saahib would listen to Hadhrat’s Qur’aan, while all the visitors would form a circlr and sit in the position of a gathering. In other words, they would act upon the verse: ‘When the Qur’aan is recited listen there to and keep in silence.’ (7:204)

The condition of Hadhrat during the recitation was to be seen and cannot be put in words. Tears flowed from the beginning to the end. His weeping would overpower him so much, that his voice would not come out; he would cry for a while and then continue the recitinf. This had so much effect on the listeners that they would also be in tears. Sometimes before iftaari Hadhrat would stop the recitation and mediate.
