The decree also encouraged him to follow the teachings of Islam in social situations. [7] A question asked at the Darul Ifta of Darul Uloom Deoband about Naqshbandi's reliability was answered as "Zulfiqar Ahmad Naqshbandi is a credible elderly figure of the Naqshbandi order and follows the same track as of the scholars of Deoband".
