Maulana, agla sawal lene se pehle ek comment parhna chahenge jo Ghazipur se Tawfiq Khan sahib ne likha hai. Unhon ne likha hai: "Maulana sahib, main Al-Risala kary hoon. Aap ka jo literature hai woh modern idiom mein hota hai jo ke poori tarah se samajh mein aata hai. Allah se dua hai ke woh aap ko lambi umar de." Maulana, agla sawal Shahnawaz Zafar sahib ne kiya hai Delhi se. Unhon ne likha hai: "Aap ne apni kitaab Al-Islam mein likha hai ke mustar yani jo iztirab ki halat mein ho, us ki dua Allah immediately qabool karta hai aur deegar momin ki dua ki qabooliyat ke liye amal saleh bhi chahiye.
