In honouring the memory of Ghulam Mohiuddin Wani, known as Mahad Sab, the essay reflects on the profound impact he had on Mirwaiz Umer Farooq's life, particularly during a challenging phase.

The essay highlights Mahad Sab's role in linguistic and traditional aspects of religious practice, his contribution to the unique Wa’az tradition, and his preservation of local knowledge. The author expresses deep gratitude for Mahad Sab's significant contribution to their religious understanding, lamenting the personal loss caused by his passing and the inability to meet him during the author's house arrest.
