Salaah with Jamaat
Moulana Yusuf Ludhyanwi (Rahmatullahi Alaih) writes:
“Once, some people had requested Hadhrat Moulana Yusuf Binnori (Rahmatullahi Alaih) to come to the opening of their shop after the
Jumu`ah Salaah. Hadhrat said to them: ‘On Fridays I perform
Asr Salaah in my
Musjid. Ensure that my
jamaat salaah is not missed.’ They assured
Hadhrat that they will make arrangements for him to make it for the
jamaat. Generally, people are extremely enthusiastic to take the saintly personality to their place since they only consider their own motives. As far as others are concerned then they are inconsiderate. When
Hadhrat returned, the
jamaat salaah was over. Seeing this,
Hadhrat began to cry bitterly. I saw
Hadhrat crying profusely on that day and he lamented: “We do not possess the reality of
Salaah. All we have is the imitation. The correct manner of
Salaah is unknown to us. We merely imitate Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). If this imitation also does not remain, then what else do we have!”
