Teacher, Mohammad Karam Shah of Kulia-Tul-Shariya was my student in Usool-e-Fiqah from Pakistan. As I acquainted with him, I started respecting him whole-heartedly. I found thirst for discussion and fondness for knowledge in him, and God has adorned his nature with valuable qualities of courtesy mannerism and respecting others abundantly. I feel so proud that he is my student and I wish him a brilliant future. I pray to God that may he prove to be the beneficent and a valuable asset for Islam and Islamic Ummah. Not only for Pakistan but for the whole Islamic World as well.

My spiritual friend my virtuous and intelligent student and preceptor Muhammad Karam Shah. We met on the spiritual dinner table of Khuda Wand-e-Rehman.We met that day when you gave me conscience of truth’s victory for eminence of God’s Religion and for defense of religious values to take care of our Zeal and its reputation. This mutual relation was a sequence of that spiritual meeting and continuation of distinguished Islamic cause. The moment I met you I felt magnanimity, nobility of character, inclination towards high objectives and remoteness from worthless affairs. I sensed a new auspiciousness after every meeting and I found a human spirit in you that were so superior and most dignified from these worldly burdens. And my son; indeed you gave me sense that as East is the place of rising of sun just like that spirit has also a place of rising. And as east is the source of heat so the life has source of light. And as it is tomb of light just like that this world has enlightening lamp. Oh my son; you gave me sense that Islam is an Ummah and its consistency could not dispersed with differences of countries or cities. Whenever I met you, I sighted illuminati of Islam like moon in your personality. And I viewed as well Islam in you that is the binder of down trodden hearts. I expect a luminous future and each time your meeting gave me relief from grieves. And during your stay in Egypt gave me honour and today when I am saying good bye to you I am feeling as my soul is departing from me or as a part of my spirit is imparting. So I entrust you to God and pray for His guidance upon you. And I pledge to Him so magnificent and so vigorous with humility that may He grant you reward according to your nature and your well intentions. And requital that you wish, may He bless you. And may you become obliging for religion and cooperating for Shariyah. Indeed He is great benefactor and listener of prayers.

My dear friend, my talented student and teacher respective author, my loving son Mohammad Karam Shah. Depart of dear ones, for his family for, a friend to his friends, for a devotee to disband his group of devotees, for a playmate to apart from his mate could be easy. But from ones mentor to one disciple, one companion to his sincere, from one beloved to other one’s departing is so difficult. Oh my son! Literature, art of debate, philosophy, congregation, important discussion of psychology and methodology of teaching all supplied me chance to meet you. And in these varied gardens of knowledge when I debated during my lecture with you and we both presented our arguments before each other. Then it seemed to me that you were a wonderful example of an author by birth. You have extra ordinary fondness for points of eloquence, trusty of noble character, and a valuable model of outstanding training. And with all these morals, I see an Islamic flag waving and shading over you. In my conversation I felt that there is an immense feeling of religious doctrines present in your heart. And in its way zeal for Jihad (religious war) is abundant. Such ardor that has no limits and such eagerness that could not be redeemed with long efforts. I could not forget your modesty, which occurred for peace and devotness to religion in you till my death. I taunt you variously but I did not see anything except modesty at that time. This modesty is important and a most lovable virtue in education field between a teacher and a student.

I felt as you have reality of sight, perfection of thought and sound judgment. Moreover you expressed your thoughts in very modest manner by watching all these valuable virtues I got relieved sooth and satisfied that I have relation with such people who have devoted their lives approbation of God. And they are facing troubles oversea for getting education of His religion. They did not care about ups and down in this way. They only wish for glory of this religion and for significance of God’s orders. Oh my son! Life’s Circumstances, loads of dilemma and weighty responsibilities are taking you distant from me. Now I have no alternative except to bestow my head before His will. I pray for you, departing to your country that is too dear to us and to you as well. May you return with such dignity that you prove to be an illuminating flag from the luminous flags of your country. So that you could raise the Name of God and prepare such generation that may be adorned with superiority of God and splendor of knowledge. There in your homeland don’t forget Egypt, which is a quiver of God, on the land of God. And don’t forget your Egyptian friends who were your lesson fellows or your teachers who did their best to enhance your capabilities and hard worked for polishing these qualities. My dear friend! This departing and after traveling you may not abstain from your university education. We are in your service for any job. We can have good communication through correspondence. So I pray that your journey may be with God’s blessings from here and influx to your homeland and your stay there may under God’s protection. And under sequence of pious Hashmi family of lavishly green shadow, you may continue your efforts. And may God keep you under compassion of your parent and May sooth you with your descendants. Your life may be fruitful. That fruit may ever last and seasoned with blessing of God. Benevolence of magnificent God who is so kind and humane. May you and your country that is Fort of Islam may live longer. God blesses you.
