JOURNEY TO THE HOUSE OF ALLAH 37 Hazrat Maulawi Noor-ud-Deen ra was always victorious. Along with performing Hajj, Hazrat Maulawi Noor-ud-Deen ra met and learned from many Muslim scholars that he admired. Therefore, his visit to Makkah and Madinah also served as part of his educational journey. He learnt many sciences and continued on his path of becoming a scholar of the Holy Quran, Hadith, Languages, Medicine, etc. He remained in Makkah to pursue his studies for a year and a half. After his stay in Makkah, he went to Madinah. Upon arriving in Madinah, he presented himself to Hazrat Shah Abdul Ghani Mujaddidi (may Allah have mercy upon him), a renowned saint and scholar from Delhi, who was also visiting Madinah. 14 Impressed by his vast knowledge, Hazrat Maulawi Noor-ud-Deen ra made a written request to stay in his company and learn from him. Hazrat Shah Abdul Ghani Mujaddidi agreed, and so Hazrat Maulawi Noor-ud-Deen ra stayed with him in Madinah for one year. 15
