1. In the winter of 1933 nearly 250 people from Mewat became ready to offer some time in the path of Allah and came to DELHI JAMA MASJID. Maulana Hussain Ahmad Madni (Rahmatullah Alaihi) gave the departure advice to jamaat and it was sent to PANIPAT,KARNAL (HARYANA),SAHARANPUR &THANA BHAWAN, and KANDHLA (UTTAR PARDESH).
2. The Jamaat of eight people( writer of book Miyan Ji esa was also in that Jmaat and wrote detail account ) with Mushi Nasrullah Sb as Ameer was sent to areas near Thana Bhawan the place of Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi R.A. with special Instruction.................
NOT to go Thana Bhawan Proper , Do work around Thana Bhawan, When the good news about your effort reach to Ashraf Ali Thanwi and ........if he calls then only go to Thana Bhawan........
3. If he does not call within eight days Dont go Thana Bhawan and Return back to Nizamuddin.
(Probably Maulana Ilyas was knowing that Maulana is not enthusiastic about the work and may not like Jamaat in his town. But Otherwise Maulana Ilyas was very close to all the Mashaikh of that era. Maulan Ashraf Ali several time came to his house at Kandhla and he was also present at the time of Nikah of Maulana Ilyas Rahmatullaha Alaihi. Allah knows the best)
JAMAT Reaches areas near Thana Bhawan....................
The sincere effort of Jamaat bore fruit in the Area and good result and news reached to Ashraf Ali Thanwi R.A .......
Then Ashraf Ali Thnwi R.A. called JAMAAT TO THANA BHAWAN..........Jamaat was also waiting for this happy moment ....... They were so happy that could not sleep that night well ..They went their after Ishraq,.....day was Friday ........
By his Order they made the work plan with Maulana Zafar Ahmad Sb........
........... Maulana saw their pattern of work from close, their effectiveness in calling people closer to Deen...................
He became very impressed with the work and in special interaction with Jamaat he told the Masterpiece Sentence with Great Emotion.............
Maulana Ilyas has changed my YAAS (Hoplessness) into AAS (Hope)...............
Then he invited Jamaat for food and made further eight day Plan for his Town. There were 52 mosque at that time. After eight days he permitted the Jamaat to return and Ordered them to go another town Rampur Mniharan a nearby Town where his relatives were staying. Jamaat went there.
In the words of Miya Ji esa who was present there.....
" Yeh Sunkar Hazrat Baagh Baagh Ho Gaye aur Baar Baar Farmate Rahe Maulana Ilyas ne Naummedi ko Ummid mein Badal Diya...............
He further said Allah Rabbul Izzat jisse jo kam lena chahe le lete hain, Yeh kam Maulana Ilyas ke Hisse mein Aya.........
NOW MAULANA ILYAS and Maulana Ashraf Ali are no more........Now it is our turn to do something for deen.
May Allah accept us all.
