بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

In today’s times, great focus is placed on Taleem, while the vital and sensitive duty of Tarbiyah is often neglected or given very little
importance. This imbalance has resulted in an increase in Islamic knowledge, but at the same time, a visible decline in good manners, values, and the respect that should naturally accompany knowledge.

For this reason, Hazrat Qari Ismaeel Desai Saheb رحمة الله عليه repeatedly emphasized the importance of Tarbiyah. He took personal responsibility for the Tarbiyah of his students and remained attentive to their character, offering guidance and correction whenever it was required.

Hadhrat Qari Ismaeel Desai Saheb رحمة الله عليه was a revered Khalifah of esteemed Ulama, including Hadhrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb رحمة ﷲ عليه , Hadhrat Maulana Qamaruz Zamaan Saheb (دامت بركاته) , and Hadhrat Maulana Muhammed Mazhar Saheb (دامت بركاته).

Hadhrat Qari Ismaeel Desai Saheb رحمة الله عليه served as the principal of Madrasah Da’watul Haq in Umzinto, KwaZulu-Natal, where he dedicated himself to nurturing students in their pursuit of Islamic knowledge.

This booklet contains a selection of valuable advices and points of guidance delivered by Hazrat Qari Ismaeel Desai Saheb رحمة الله عليه on various occasions. These precious reminders were carefully noted by a student of the Madrasah, Hafiz Mubashshir Morkel, who recorded the key advices shared in the Majlis and later compiled them into this beneficial work.
