7 December 1905 189 In Loving Memory of a Few Deceased Companions Concerning the late Maulaw i Burh a n-ud-D i n, the Promised Messiah as said: He came to meet me in the very beginning, in Hoshiarpur. There was a warmth and a passion for the truth in his nature. He learnt the Holy Quran from me. He had been coming to me for twenty-two years. He possessed a sufi temperament. Wherever he saw ascetic people, he would go to them. He loved me very much. I want to send my written condolences. It would be better for his son to come here so he can take his father’s place. Write to him that he should complete his religious education because he should follow his father’s path. Munsh i Jal a l-ud-D i n was also very sincere, as was his name- sake from Pir Kot. I cannot give preference to either one of the two. Many of our friends have passed away over the past year, including Maulaw i Jam a l-ud-D i n Syed Walah. Maulaw i Sher Muhammad of Hojin as well. Allah the Exalted has prudence in all His ways. This year I had to suffer bouts of mourning. 1 1. Al- H akam, vol. 13, no. 1, p. 13, dated 7 January 1909
