Salaams, I have so many events and stories to tell of how my Murshid has helped, saved, and improved my life, the lives of my children, wife, siblings, and parents, that I do not know where to begin.
The most recent event that has happen in my life was the hospitalization of my youngest son Muhammad Anwar. He had been complaining of sever stomach pains for a few days, till the point he had to be taken to the emergency room in Binghamton, NY. The doctors examined him and ran test on his blood, urine, and stool but found nothing, and then they gave him an MRI which revealed a blocked or swollen tissue between his large and small intestine. To make a long story short, he was eventually transferred so Syracuse, NY to a specialist because the pain got worse and the doctors had no answers; one doctor even made mention to cancer, or crones disease.
At this point one of our senior ladies contacted El Sheik Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani for help. In spite of his enormous workload and tireless efforts he took time aside to send a treatment for my son. He instructed that certain ayahs of Holy Quran should be recited over water and given to Muhammad Anwar to drink. This was done, however he had refused to eat or drink anything do to the pain. My wife started rubbing the water on his stomach every time the pain would come, in a short time his temperature went down to normal and the pain went away, then he began to drink the blessed water. After several days in the hospital, With no improvement and no answers he began recovering with the treatment given to him by My Murshid (may Allah bless and protect him always) and was released from the hospital a few days later. I thank Allah; of all the things the Almighty has given me in my life none is dearer to me than Him.

I will keep this brief, as it is a very emotional topic for me. In short, my Murshid El Sheikh Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani, out of the mercy of the Most High, imparted every good that may be in my character to me. Every talent and ability I might display, I received not from my schooling or upbringing, but it was brought into fruition by the care, compassion, and tutelage of my Imam. Yet, this is not a unique claim. I see the same being done for my brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews in this jamaat, yet his wisdom is never exhausted. The direction that others seek, but may never find, we have been lucky enough to have handed to us on a continuous basis by this most noble son of the Holy Last Messenger, peace be upon him, without any sort of discrimination or bias. There is no one on the face of this earth more broad-minded, caring and just. His knowledge is without limit, and his teachings are made available to all, Muslim and non-Muslim, without his asking for anything in return, only with the hope that mankind may be guided and loved by the Almighty in order to reach the true purpose of their being created.
