Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen – Khalifatul Masih I – The Way of the Righteous — Page 45
Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen The Way of the Righteous 44 This was his first promotional move. In the morning, a number of people came and requested for the same eye application mixture. On account of the humidity in the city, some eye diseases were common, and the need for such a mixture was great. Some had eye trouble for various reasons, so they were given other mixtures. Hakeem Sahib said, "Then people started streaming in for consultation about other diseases, and by sheer Divine grace and blessings, I had a great success and made a great beginning," This was the first day of the medical clinic and, because of this eye application mixture, Maulana Sahib made a fine start. Soon after the reputation of Maulana Sahib spread around the town. His own contemporary medical practitioners envied him. Generally professionals of a trade do not welcome another person getting the attention of the public so fast. But, he never thought of professional rivalry. His medical clinic was open to his own rivals too. He would readily share the secrets of his prescription with other physicians. Maulana Sahib's own mixtures and prescriptions, developed through his own acumen, still exist in the old herbal shops of Bhera town. Maulana Sahib Builds a House The house where he started the medical clinic, which his father had assisted him in selecting, was quite large and spacious. On the death of his father, his elder brother, Sultan Ahmad, who was in a number of ways their father's benefactor, approached him and asked him to give in writing that this house (where the medical clinic was functioning) was purchased and renovated with the funds provided by his brother. Maulana Sahib did as he was requested. He moved his medical clinic happily to a portion of the mosque, and requested his students to move the medicines and other chemicals. It was a difficult time for Hakeem Sahib, but he was full of gratitude for the favours done to him by his brother.
