2.8 NATURE AND CHARACTER OF C.M USTHĀD

C.M Usthd was really dedicated his life to the progress and development of the community. He never focused upon his interests against the interest of his community. It is the fact, that he was very keen and interested to receive donations from the people for the purpose of religious matters and development of colleges. He used to go abroad to receive donations from rich persons for the purpose of MIC and other Islamic colleges. Furthermore, in his last time also, he made hard work for his community. He was unruffled and he was manitaing all the complicated problems with easiness. Instead being angry to the people, he advised them with his peaceful and calm character like a father advice his children. When his enemies tried to disturb him, he remained calmly. He slept very less in night times and was awake full in daytimes. He was eager to solve the problems of people. He helped people economically, physically as he can. He was remaining calm and quiet rather than speaking more. He spoke whenever he needs, rest of his time he used for the development of MIC and before that Sa’diya College.

2.8.1 Man of excellent behavior

C.M Usthād is distinguished by his good behavior and he was the owner of well responsibility to his duties. There are many incidents occurred in the life of CM Usthād, they all implies to his sound and calm character. Sharef Karippodi writes in Satyadhara weekly C.M Usthād special and he says, “We the student of MIC were expressing our grieves and tensions to Usthād. Thus one day we went to dining hall to lunch then the some students were out of the dining hall .They were querreling with dining hall personnels in the matter of food related issues. Suddently, C.M Usthād came and many students escaped from that scene. Therefore, some brave students went to CM Usthād and said their problems. In this time CM Usthād went to inside of kitchen and took a spoon of curry and tasted it saying with a simple smile, “it is not worst as you thing so eat now let’s check next thus he simply managed the problems” thus CM Usthād altime keen to solve the problems of students like a father.

C.M Usthād was different from the contemporary scholars of his tiem in many issues. Although he had the worldly fascilites, he avoided it for the sake of Allāh. He lived in a small house even though he had facilities to make his house better one. However, he dedicated his life to the community and progress of educational activites. On the other hand, his symbol was loyalty and simplicity. Actions and worships were his main duties and there were nothing losing his identity and morality. We never find any sign of narcissistic in his life.

One of his pupils describes the experience he had in a marriage ceremony. One day the students of MIC went to a marriage nearby college, thus the children sat to eat food orderly one after one. In this time, CM Usthād came to that house and when the persons came to receive him he went and sat in a chair there. They invited them to inside but he refused with smiling that scholar said “I will sit here, and adjacent to him small children were eating. This was his simplicity and loyalty.”
