🖊️ During the Era of his father Molana Husamuddin, Moulana Badruddin expended great efforts in the cause of Dawat. During the era of Syedna Burhanuddin (RA), he was particularly consumed in the cause of fulfilling the Debts of Da'wat.
🖊️ Moulana was often out in this regard, even Meal Times would be missed for the sake of this endeavor. Allah Ta'ala rewarded this remarkable khidmat by making him Dai al-Mutlaq.
🖊️ When Syedna Badruddin ascended the throne of Dawat, those people who had claimed that, "A lid would be placed after Syedna Burhanuddin", were left watching. In the Ashara Mubaraka of 1324H, Syedna performed his first ever Wa'az. People of insight became even more convinced of the flow of Imam-uz-Zamaan's (AS) Taaeed.
