Syed Pookoya was mentor of spiritual purity. But he never tried to establish his own order. His life is a lesson for those who try to wound religion and its laws by establishing their own methods. Blessed with immense popularity, with people struggling to have a mere glimpse, with followers ready to obey every letter in command and most of all a personality endowed with the blessing of ijabat (answer) for prayer. Yet he never attempted to formulate any theories inside or outside the sharia’. A good part of his life was concentrated on developing mosques and madrassas. These two are important for sharia to prevail in the society. This paradigm remains the blessing of the Panakkad family. Through generations, its descendants keep this practice alive. Perhaps it was the depth of his inner self that made Syed Pookoya entitled to this position. He was particular in cherishing his inner life in midst of the busy public life. His prayers stirred each vein in the body. He was full of prayers.
