In this online lecture delivered via Zoom, Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera reflected on The Spiritual Teachings of Shaykh Yusuf Motala. The talk began with a brief historical overview of the Chishti Sufi tradition in India, outlining its deep roots in spiritual refinement, service, and remembrance of Allah. Dr. Mangera then introduced the influential role of Shaykh Yusuf Motala’s own teacher, Shaykh Zakariyya Kandhlawi, whose guidance and scholarship shaped Shaykh Yusuf’s journey on the path of Tasawwuf.
The lecture highlighted Shaykh Yusuf Motala’s unique approach to leadership — marked by a soft, compassionate character and a gentle “hands-off” style of management that empowered his students and institutions to flourish. Through these qualities, he embodied the essence of the Sufi path: humility, selflessness, and trust in Allah.
This session offered not only historical insights but also practical lessons in spiritual living, drawing from Shaykh Yusuf Motala’s life and legacy as a guide for seekers today.
