Undoubtedly, the flourishing, well watered garden of Islam is indebted to these blessed souls. May Allah Ta’ala elevate the status of these sacred personalities and keep their favours and graces raining down on us, Aameen. I got the topic of this book from the great helper to the community, my colleague in the organisation, Al Haaj ‘Usman Zarodarwala, who presents topics each year to welcome Ramadhan. May Allah Ta’ala grant him complete health and a long life, Aameen.
