The golden era of Syedna Taher Saifuddin R.A spans over the same length of period as that of Rasulullah's S.A stay in Mecca, namely 53 epoch making years. The 51st Dai faced a continual onslaught from his enemies just as the Arabian infidels constantly assaulted RASULULLAH S.A. Allah's invisible hand protected his Rasul; similarly the Imam's hand lay comfortingly on his Dai's shoulder. While Rasulullah S.A was continuously aided by Allah's revelations, his Dai was always guided by Imamuz-zaman's S.A inspirations, which could be manifested in each aspect of his ere. A few glimpses from his life will illustrate the every word uttered by the 51st Dai R.A was inspired by his Imam S.A. The following examples have been taken from the words of SYEDNA MOHAMMED BURHANNUDDIN (TUS).
Syedna Taher Saifuddin R.A was questioned by a learned person, "what were the first thoughts in your mind just after NUS had been performed on you?"
It was a difficult question but Syedna Taher Saifuddin R.A replied "The first thought which entered my mind was ' I shall sacrifice myself for the sake of my Moula', ".
********************************************
Molwi Dawood approached Syedna Taher Saifuddin R.A "It is my firm belief that NAS was performed on Doat Mutlaqeen R.A, But the Statements made by Munafiqeen sometimes casts doubts!!"
Syedna Taher Saifuddin R.A pacified him "doubt does not displace staunch belief."
**********************************************
A message was conveyed to Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA on behalf of the person who claimed, "Imam has informed me that Syedna Taher Safuddin RA should come and meet me".
Syedna calmly replied. "Imam did not inform Me.".
************************************************
A claim was made in Syedna Taher Saifuddin 's time, "Imam has a great army" If you lift the certain rock at the Apollo port, the army will emerge. Non other than the Dai has such Knowledge!".
Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA queried "in that case, how did you come to know?".
************************************************
A person bought an egg from a poultry shop and wrote on it, "Imam will reveal himself ".
Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA only response was, "Did Imam not find anything else ( to write upon)? ".
The person once attempted to show the egg to Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA during a train journey. Syedna RA firmly asserted, "Only if I had any doubt would I see it".
*********************************************
Molwi Dawood once put up the question, " Who are the witnesses of the NAS of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA? "
Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA promptly replied, " There definitely are witnesses, but the skies and all souls, themselves are convincing witnesses!"
*******************************************
A Momin once asked Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA, " The enemies always question the accounts of the ZAKAT-UL-MAAL?"
Syedna answered with the help of a fitting example, "Does as person who has finished bathing, ever worry the dirt of his cleansed body has gone? Similarly, Why worry about the whereabouts of the ZAKAT-UL-MAAL which purifies your wealth?"
********************************************
A Muslim, named Mohammed, came from Gawalir. He was pure hearted, with no biased inclinations. He habitually used to recite SALAWAAT, by the blessings of which, Maulatena Fatema SA once appeared in his dream. A number of women were at her service. Imam Hasan SA and Imam Husein SA were cradled in her arms. A person was seated beside Imam Husein SA. In his dream, Imam Husein SA informed the Muslim, If you are in search of HAQ, then approach this (seated) person".
The Muslim awoke from his dream in wonder. He arrived in Bombay and spoke of his dream. When his words reached Syedna Taher Saifuddin's RA ears, Maulana instructed that the Muslim be brought before him when he stepped down from the elevator. When the Muslim saw Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA , he immediately cried out, " This is the very person who appeared in my dream!!! "
Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA ordered that the Muslim's MISAQ be taken on the 2nd of Moharram and brought into the fold of Dawat.
