His style of discourse was marvelous; during the Jama’at meetings, it used to be very effective and informative. His opinions used to be to the point, relevant and in accordance with the situation and robust.
One topic that I heard him talk frequently about was gratitude to Allah the Exalted. He used to emphasize this aspect during his tarbiyyati lectures, often quoting the Qur’anic verse:
لَئِنۡ شَکَرۡتُمۡ لَاَزِیۡدَنَّکُمۡ
‘If you are grateful, I will, surely, bestow more favours on you …’ (Ibrahim, 14:8)
During his conversation also, he used to talk repeatedly on this subject of gratitude in a moving and inspirational way.
I personally observed that he always mentioned gratitude for the blessings of God in a tender and touching manner in private meetings, and tears would well up in his eyes out of gratefulness.
I can say that gratitude was his most favorite topic. Accordingly, he titled his autobiography, تحدیث نعمت (Recollection of Divine Favors), befitting his personality.
A specific feature of the book is that when narrating stories of his life, he never forgot to mention and thank anyone, who had done him any favor and prayed for them. Along with gratitude for Allah, expressing the same for His servants was an integral part of this grateful man.
