Mirwaiz highlights message of Tawheed at Srinagar’s Dastgeer Sahib shrine
Srinagar: Senior All Parties Hurriyat Conference leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has emphasised the fundamental message of Tawheed — the absolute Oneness of Allah Almighty — and highlighted the timeless teachings and spiritual legacy of Hazrat Sheikh Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) in special religious address at the historic Aastan-e-Aaliya Dastgeer Sahib (RA) in Khanyar, Srinagar.
According to Kashmir Media Service, a large number of devotees, including a significant number of women, attended the annual Urs of Hazrat Sheikh Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA).
In his address, Mirwaiz said Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) consistently called upon believers to remain firmly attached to the Qur’an and Sunnah, purify their hearts and souls, perform righteous deeds and place complete trust and reliance in Allah Almighty.
The APHC leader said that at a time when Muslims across the world are facing severe challenges, uncertainty and difficult circumstances, the teachings of the revered saint have assumed even greater relevance. He urged Muslims to strengthen their relationship with Allah Almighty through sincere prayer, genuine repentance, patience, steadfastness, firm faith and unwavering trust in Him.
He said that closeness to Allah must also be reflected in one’s conduct towards fellow human beings, urging the faithful to imbibe the values of humility, compassion, self-purification, righteous character and service to humanity that formed an integral part of the teachings of Hazrat Sheikh Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA).
Mirwaiz said true spirituality lies in sincere devotion to Allah Almighty, adherence to His commandments and following the path shown by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
At the conclusion of his sermon and religious discourse, Mirwaiz recited a Manqabat in praise of Hazrat Peeran-e-Peer Sheikh Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) and paid rich tribute to his enduring religious, spiritual and reformative services to the Muslim Ummah.
Earlier, upon his arrival at Khanyar, Mirwaiz was accorded a warm welcome by the people, who gathered in large numbers at the historic shrine.
The gathering concluded with prayers for peace, prosperity and the well-being of the people, while the message of Tawheed, spiritual purification and service to humanity remained at the centre of the religious discourse.
