Sufis are promoters of peace & love in society: Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri

Chairman MQI Supreme Council Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri attended the ‘Urs’ ceremony of Hazrat Khawaja Muhammad Yar Faridi (ra) in Garhi Ikhtiar Khan as a special guest and delivered a keynote speech there. Khawaja Ghulam Qutub-ud-Din Faridi, Sajjad-e-Nasheen of the shrine and Khawaja Ghulam Farid Koreja and other distinguished people including religious scholars were present on the occasion.

Addressing the ceremony, Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri said that it was the age of mischief, strife and chaos. He said that the real challenge of the time was to protect one’s faith. He said that the story of the Companions of the Cave, as mentioned in the Holy Quran, imparted an essential lesson to the believers. He said that moral is that the protection of our faith lies in staying connected to the pious people of Allah and being part of their company. He said that their company is greatly helpful in achieving gnosis of Allah and developing the strength of the faith to withstand all the attacks on ‘Iman’.

Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri said that the seekers of the truth get the light of knowledge and guidance from the shrines of the Friends of Allah. He said that their teachings pivot around the idea of ‘adab’ (respect and reverence). He said that the place where His pious people reside, the light of mercy and forgiveness envelopes it. He said that these favorite people of Allah are those who make others strengthen their bond with their Creator and make their hearts the repository of the divine light. “Sufis and Auliya are the people who advance and promote the process of guidance,” he added.

Chairman Supreme Council said that MQI has been doing an important duty of conveying the teachings of Sufis to the wider world, making the latter aware of the spiritual status of the former and revealing to them the reality and relevance of true spiritualism. He said that the purpose of these endeavours made by MQI is to recast the society in the image of Mustafavi teachings.

MQI leaders Sardar Shakir Khan Mazari, Mian Noor Ahmad Sahu, Dr Zubair Khan, Muhammad Tahir Faridi, Muhammad Ali Qadri, Haji Farooq Ahmad, Mian Hanif Muhammad, Walid Malik, Rashid Mustafavi, Arshad Mirza, representatives of MQI and general public attended the ‘Urs’ ceremony.
