Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) once mentioned:
My respected uncle, Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) had called me one day prior to his demise and given me the following advice:
“Strive to the best of your ability to inculcate every sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) in your life and also encourage your associates and friends to adhere to the sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) in their lives.” (Malfoozaate Hazrat Shaikh 2/142)
