“Hadrat Haji Ahmed Nakhooda (rahimahullah) initially developed his islahi connection under the guidance of the author of Tarjuman al-Sunnat, the eminent hadith scholar, Hadrat Mawlana Badr-i-‘Alam Mirati Madani (rahimahullah). Acting on his advice, he then pledged bay‘at and undertook his spiritual training (suluk) under the guidance of Qutb al-Aqtab, Shaykh al-Hadith Hadrat Mawlana Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhalwi Madani (rahimahullah), who also granted him khilafat and ijazat.” - Hadrat Mawlana Ebrahim Pandor

“He was of an exceedingly simple temperament and lived a life of anonymity. He was deeply devoted to Madinah, and he was especially diligent in reciting Durud, the effects of which permeated his entire life.” - Hadrat Mawlana Sayyid Muhammad ‘Aqil (rahimahullah)

“This humble servant read these letters carefully, piece by piece. All of them pertain to guidance on suluk and ihsan, the eradication of base spiritual maladies, and subtle insights into spirituality and self-reformation. It is evident that only such esteemed individuals-those who, in their time, were annihilated in Allah (fana fillah) and immersed deeply in the love of the Prophet ﷺ-could compose such elevated and profound letters.” - Hadrat Mawlana Muhammad Shahid Saharanpuri (rahimahullah)
