The same technique has been used extensively by various authors, including Haafiz Muhammad Zubair and Haafiz Tahir Islam Askari in their book Fiqr-e-Ghaamdi, Aik Tehkeeki aur Taziati Mut'alia. ('Ghamdi's Ideology: An Investigative and Analytical Study') The book also extensively quotes Hazrat Maulana Ludhanvi's works.

Famous quotes containing the words lifetime and/or work:
“Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.”
—Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
“Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
