INTERACTION
Huzoor-e-Anwaraa arrived in Toronto, Ontario on the 3rd
of October around Asr time. At Maghrib prayer, Huzooraa
arrived prior to the Azan and sat in the Mehrab. Huzooraa
addressed many members of the Jamaat and then inquired

"‫"ىہاں جامعہ کے لڑکے بھى ہىں؟‬

I was lucky enough to be sitting near the first row. I stood in
my spot and Huzooraa then asked me

he turned his attention towards Amir Sahib and asked: "‫"کون سى کلاس مىں پڑھتے ہو؟‬

I replied "‫ ث ا�لثہ کلاس مىں پڑھتا ہوں‬،‫"حضور‬

“‫”اذان کس نے دى ہے؟‬ Huzooraa then asked

Amir Sahib pointed in my direction. Huzooraa directed his "‫"عربى آتى ہے؟‬
attention towards me and said:
I answered
“‫”اچھا تم نے دى ہے؟‬
I replied: "‫"جى حضور۔ بس تھوڑى تھوڑى۔‬

“‫”جى حضور۔‬ Huzooraa said

Huzooraa then said: "‫"ذاتى طور پرسىکھى ہے؟‬
“‫”اچھا۔ چلو اقا تم بھى کہہ دو۔‬ I replied

We then offered Salat Zuhr and Asr. "‫"حضور جوسىکھى ہےوہ جامعہ مىں ہى سىکھى ہے۔‬

Huzooraa then addressed the next Jamia
student.
