By the Grace of Allah, Chaudhry Sahib had a successful, full and busy life under Divine Mercy. Even during his temporal and political engagements, he always gave preference to religious aspects.
He managed to observe Prayers on time with extraordinary commitment. He made full use of time. He adorned his time with the remembrance of Allah.
He carried out Jihad with the pen and tongue throughout his life. He translated the Holy Quran in English which was very popular. He authored many books.
He wrote inspiring books about Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih I (ra) and his own mother. He wrote his autobiography in great detail and in a very humble style.
He also translated the writings of the Promised Messiah (as) in English. During the last few years of his life he excused himself from worldly commitments and devoted himself completely to service of faith till his last breath.
These services by him fall in the category of ongoing charity. The days when he was busy with composition, writing and translation work, spending most of his time for that, he stated, “I am busy the whole day continuing till late in the night. At last, when I get tired and plan to sleep, I put my pen down and tell myself: Zafrulla Khan! You are very tired, rest a while. You have worked today according to God-given capacity. Go to sleep now. If Allah grants you more time, do the rest tomorrow. Saying that, I lie down in the bed.” What a mystical and inspiring style of going to sleep!
He frequently used a Persian verse in his conversation, کارِ دنیا کسے تمام نکرد—that is to say: “Nobody has ever accomplished all the tasks of this world.” That is true indeed, however, this too is a reality that in using the time to full effect and using it for beneficent works, Chaudhry Sahib has set an example worth following.
He regarded every day and every moment to be Allah’s blessing and tried to spend it in the best possible way. Talking about this subject, he frequently used the word ‘respite’ that was most appropriate in this sagacious statement.
In his conversation, the subject of gratitude for Divine favors came up frequently. With reference to sleep, he used to mention very often that of the innumerable favors that Allah had bestowed on him, one was that he fell asleep as soon as he put his head on the pillow.
Thus, none of his time was wasted. He stated many times that when travelling by car, as the car stopped at the traffic light for a short while, he fell asleep and woke up when it restarted.
