Bullay Shah Academy and Anjuman Khudam-e-Suffia, in keeping with the grand traditions of Auliyah Allah paid rich tribute to the Martyrs of the Karbala in a multifaith program held on August 27, 2022. The program began with a beautiful recitation of the Holy Quran by young brother Asad. Qari Anwar Shehzad Naqshbandi, and Br. Muzammil were among the prominent Naat Khawans, who prese nested respectful salutations to Imam Hussain A.S. and the Household of the Holy Prophet (Ahl-e-Bayt). Their laudations were widely appreciated by the many attendants of the program. The program was attended by people of multiple religio-ethnic backgrounds, united in their respect for Imam Hussain A.S. and indebted to His message.
In his masterful and transcendent keynote speech, Pir Afzal Ahmed Naqshbandi noted that the love of Ahl-e-Bayt is the key to success in this world and the next. Allah SWT has mentioned in the Holy Quran that He has purified the Ahl-e-Bayt with extensive purification. Thus, the easiest way to become a pious Muslim and gain purity of thought and action is through nurturing the love of Ahl-e-Bayt in one’s heart and emulating their example. Just as Allah purified them, they, too, purify anyone who comes to their door with faith in his heart. In a moving and stirring conclusion, he reminded the participants that Allah does not reject any supplication made by any true lover of Ahl-e-Bayt in their Holy name and requested everyone to make dua for the whole ummah.
The program ended, as it had begun, with salutations on Holy Prophet PBUH and His Ahl-e-Bayt. Pir Sahib made a special dua for the flood victims in Pakistan.

The organizing committee welcomes everyone to attend these spiritual events
