The favours that we enjoy come to us via some means. Whatever type of favour it may be. Hence, it is necessary that we respect and honour the means through which we gain the favour. This is what Allah Ta’ala instructs in Qur’aan Shareef. It applies to all things of deen, whether in the madaaris, tableegh or khanqah. The more the elders through whom we gained these favours are respected the more we find the benefit and progress. (Mufti Ebrahim Salajee)
