Confirmed evidence…

Maulana Abul Hasan Nadvi, has written a detailed biography of Maulana Ilyas entitled "Maulana Ilyas and
his Religious Invitation." (Maulana Ilyas Aur Unki Deeni Daawat)

Maulvi Abul Hasan Nadvi has quoted one incident of Maulana Ilyas, which is connected with the
Revelation from Allah.

"Maulana Ilyas used to say that when I indulged in the remembrance of Allah (Zikr), I used to feel a burden
on my mind. I related this to Hazrat Gangohi, who was alarmed to hear it and said: ?When Molvi
Qasim Nanotwi made the same complaint to Haji Sahib, Haji Sahib (his Spiritual leader) replied that Allah
shall enable him to accomplish some service to Islam.?" (Deeni Dawat, pp/45)

Actually this was not the reply of Haji Sahib that "Allah shall take some work from you," but the actual
incident is that when Maulvi Qasim Nanotwi had complained to Haji Sahib: "I am entangled with troubles
whenever I sit down with a Rosary. I feel so much heaviness in my mind as if someone has placed stones
on me weighing hundreds of pounds. I become speechless and my heart also sort of closes." (Sawaneh
Qasmi, Book 1, pp/258, Darul Uloom Deoband)

On this Haji Sahib said, addressing him, "These are benedictions of apostlehood on your heart and that
is that ?heaviness? which the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) felt at the time of Divine
Revelation. Allah wishes to extract that work from you which was taken from the Messengers."
(Sawaneh Qasmi, Book 1, pp/256)

Now in the light of these details, according to the writing of Maulana Abul Hasan Nadvi, we learn that a
similar incident was repeated with Maulana Ilyas meaning thereby that on his heart also the benedictions of
apostlehood happened and he also felt (Allah Forbid!) the heaviness of Divine Revelation as was
experienced by the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).

Maulana Ilyas claimed that the commentary and explanation of the Quranic verse: "You are the best of
people, evolved for mankind, enjoining good and forbidding evil." has been explained to him VIA a dream
in these terms: The author of Malfoozat Ilyas writes about his claim in his book as follows: "He said that
this was revealed (Ilkha) to him in a dream that he had been designated to people like the Prophets of
Allah." (Malfoozat. pp/51)
