From: Al-Habib Umar bin Muhammad bin Salim bin Hafidh
Praise be to Allah, the one who brings forth in the Ummah, for the
support of the Truth and the establishment of the proof, leaders
guiding by his command, defending with patience and certitude,
emulating the Seal of the prophets, our Liege-Lord the Noblest, the
Chosen one, the Select, Muhammad the son of Abdullah, the Beloved of
the Lord of all the worlds, O Allah send your peace and blessings and
bestow honour upon him, upon his pure family, his noble companions and
those who follow them upon sincerity until the day of judgement.
And from amongst those leaders whom the Merciful has brought forth in
his mercy to his slaves is the Shaykh, the Gnostic, vast in knowledge
and cognisance, firmly versed in the realities the Shaykh, Muhammad
Ahmad Ridha Khan (rahmatullah alayh). Author of many works and
abundant spiritual overflowing, and indeed Allah spread out for him
and by him the message of guidance and hoisted the banners of
salvation from enticement away from the Sunnah of the Master of the
messengers (Sal Allahu alayhi wa salam) and the guidance of the
righteous predecessors (as salaf as-sâlihîn). And we looked into many
of his works, beneficial, helpful, illuminating and enlightening and
the commendations (taqarîz) of the leaders of the Haramayn (the two
noble sanctuaries, Makkatul Mukarrama and Madinatul Munawwara) and the
groups of gnostic scholars, and rightly-guided guides. So may Allah
bless him (Shaykh Ahmad Ridha rahmatullah Alayh) in his works,
illuminate the lands with his radiant lights, and give success to
those who associate with him, to gather the believers and unite the
people of religion and make us and them from amongst the elect of the
righteous, the sincere, and may Allah elevate his status (Shaykh Ahmad
Ridha Khan rahmatullah alayh) and requit him with good and unite us
with him in the highest of Paradises in good and well being.
