"Among those leaders whom the Most Merciful has brought forth as a mercy to His servants is the Shaykh, the 'Ārif, Vast in the 'Ulūm and Ma'ārif, firmly grounded in the Haqaaiq and 'Awārif: Shaykh Muhammad Ahmad Rida Khan. He has numerous works and abundant spiritual effusions. Through him, Allah ﷻ has raised the banners of guidance and the flags of rescue from misguidance by way of the Sunan of Sayyidul Mursalīn ﷺ and the guidance of the pious predecessors. We have examined a number of his beneficial, illuminating, and radiant works, and the commendations written by the Imams of the Haramayn, as well as groups of learned gnostics and rightly guided callers. May Allah bless his legacy, cause the brilliance of his lights to shine across the lands, grant success to those affiliated with him in uniting the Muslims and bringing harmony among the people of the religion, and place us and them among His chosen, truthful, and sincere servants. May He elevate the ranks of Shaykh Ahmad Rida Khan, reward him with goodness, and gather us with him in the highest gardens of Paradise, in goodness and well-being."
