My experience about Raza of Syedna Taher Saifuddin Saheb
***************************.

I was studying in Saifee High School, Bombay, up to S.S.C.
I topped the list in S.S.C. in 1949, and was getting highest marks in our community.
I was lucky to be rewarded a prize for it by Syedna Taher Saifuddin r.a.
We were living in Bombay.
In 1953. I appeared for my final degree B.Sc. [Chemistry]
I wanted to go to U.K. for higher studies .
Financially we were not very sound.
We were 3 brothers and 7 sisters. Father could not afford to send me to U.K.
I was lucky to get a conditional loan scholarship for studies only, but for travel I needed money.
Syedna Taher Saifuddin r.a. was daily presiding in Badri Mahal.
I wanted to proceed with His Raza mubarak and Doa.
Syedi Yusuf Najmuddin a.q. took me to him, and narrated my position.
My results were not out, but I was confident to get at least first class.
Moula ye farmayu ke ' bhai ne kaho ke pachhi aave.'
When results came, I topped the list, and I was getting a gold medal for highest marks in B.Sc. Exam.
My hopes for going U.K. increased.
When I met Moula again, aap ye ej farmayu ke ' bhai ne kaho ke pachhi aave.'
Moula raza na aape to mare jaavu nathi, em sochi ne, I applied for my B.Sc. Tech. in textile chemistry.
Admission was very difficult as for Technology courses' only institute in India was at Bombay.
By Allah's grace, I got the admission as I topped the list of applicants of India that year.
I also got scholarship for study because of my highest marks, that year in whole India.
Repeated meetings with Moula I got same reply.' bhai ne kaho ke pachhi aave.'

After a year mane khabar pari ke mane raza kem na mili.
I met one of my classmate, who informed me that one non-bohra friend who was to go with me to London for the same course,
when reached London was killed in a car accident on the spot, on the way from airport.
I must have been with him, as we had planned to go together.!

and I was thus saved by my moula!
