In the viral video, lasting approximately one minute and twenty seconds, Sufiyan Allahabadi can be seen praying in Medina, one of the holiest sites in Islam, for the speedy recovery of the Vrindavan-based saint. Sufiyan, in the video, is seen holding his phone and pointing at the picture of Premanad Ji Maharaj.
With his hands raised in the traditional posture of dua, or supplication, he is heard saying, "O Allah, please make India's great saint Premanand Maharaj healthy soon, so that he can continue guiding his devotees."
"I have come from Prayagraj, the land of Ganga-Yamuna sangam. Premanand Maharaj is a very good person. We have come to know that he is unwell. We are in Khizra now. From here, we pray that Allah grants him health and wellness. We are from India and we also admire him. He is a true and good human being," he said.
"Hindu or Muslim does not matter. Being a good and true person is important," he added.
As per some reports, Premanand Maharaj is suffering from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, due to which both his kidneys have failed.
Premanand Maharaj has an ashram in Uttar Pradesh's Vrindavan, and is a devotee of Radha Rani. His spiritual discourses are very popular among his followers and devotees.

Muslim man offers his kidney to Premanand Maharaj
Earlier, a 26-year-old Muslim man from Madhya Pradesh had offered to donate one of his kidneys to Premanand Maharaj, calling him a symbol of Hindu-Muslim unity. The man, Arif Khan Chishti, has written a letter to Premanand Maharaj expressing his desire to donate his kidney.
Chishti, a resident of Nyas Colony in Itarsi town of Narmadapuram district in MP, has sent the letter to the Hindu seer through the office of Collector Sonia Meena.
"Whether I remain alive or not, your life is very precious for this world. I voluntarily offer one of my kidneys to you. Please accept this small gift from me," he said in the letter.
