Allah subhanu wataala has ordered us to be with the the people who are really truthful in their words and works to attain Taqwa. Hamidur Rahman is one the burning example of this kind and became a rarely found Allahwala in the field of Taqwa. He became "baiat" [allegiance] to Hafizzi Huzur in the year 1974 and was declared as his Khalifa [nominee] in 1979. Hafizzi huzur (rahmatullahi alihi) died in 1987. Then he became baiat to Maulana Abrarul Haq (rahmatullahi alihi) in 1989 at Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh, India who was the only Khalifa of Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (rahmatullahi alihi) alive at that time.
