Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) once mentioned the following:<\/p>\n
My advice to my friends is one which was written in all earnestness and sincerity, (that is I mentioned to them that before publishing any kitaab, they should get it checked by a senior and reliable \u2018Aalim). The reason for this is that I do not wish that the publications of my close friends and associates have any mistakes or discrepancies in them.<\/p>\n
Regarding my own publications, then I always ensured that before publishing them, I would show them to some of my seniors or people whom I had confidence in. As for my Arabic publications, then I would show them to Moulana \u2018Abdur Rahmaan Saheb and Moulana As\u2018ad Saheb, and as for my Urdu publications, then I would show them to Moulana As\u2018ad and the late Qaari Sa\u2018eed (rahimahullah).<\/p>\n
Even at present, if I write anything in Arabic or Urdu, then I do not publish it without first showing it to Moulana Yunus and Moulana Aaqil. When showing it to them, I tell them, \u201cWherever you have reservations or doubts regarding anything which I have written, then mark the section (in which you have doubt) and then refer to Mufti Mahmood (and show it to him for clarity).\u201d In fact, even when preparing Aap-Beeti (the autobiography of Hazrat Shaikh), I ensured that I adopted this procedure.<\/p>\n
Hence, it is my advice that one should not publish any of one\u2019s writings without first showing it to a reliable and knowledgeable \u2018Aalim.<\/p>\n
