Eid Milad ul Nabi is universally celebrated in the Muslim world with religious fervor and festivity. Bullay Shah Academy and Anjuman Khudam-e-Sufiya too observed the occasion with due respect and traditional fanfare on October 30,. The program started with the recitation of the Holy Quran after which Pir Afzal Ahmed Naqshbandi led the recitation of Khatam-e-Pak and humbly offered the thawab in the court of the Holy Prophet PBUH, His Children, Companions and the rest of Ummah.
The occasion was marked with the recitation of nasheeds in the court of Holy Prophet PBUH including those by Qari Amin, Qari Anwar Naqshbandi, Shaykh Malik, Naseer Pirzada, Malik Farasat, Rayan Ahmad,and Br. Muzammil.
In his masterful and transcendent keynote speech, Qibla Pir Afzal Ahmed Naqshbandi remarked that Holy Prophet SAW was sent to mankind as a blessing in fulfillment of the prayer made by Prophet Abraham when he re-raised the walls of Kaaba. He enunciated that we are lucky to have been born in the Ummah of the Prophet PBUH whose care for us is symbolized by the fact that he sought forgiveness for us from Allah when his noor was created when he physically manifested in this world and even when he was veiled from this physical world by the will of Allah. In a moving and stirring conclusion, he reminded the participants that Allah and His Angels send salutations upon Holy Prophet PBUH and orders all Muslims in Quran to do so likewise. Allah, for the sake of His Prophet PBUH, accepts the prayers of the person who sends salutations on him and makes his passing from this world easier on him, not to mention the inestimable benefits received on the Day of Judgement. Br, Bob Ibrahim delivered Thank you note to all guests. In the end Qari Molan a.Latif Naumani made Duaa for all Muslim Ummah. The event was noteworthy for the attendance of several non-Muslims who attended to express their respect for the Holy Prophet SAW. Bullay Shah Academy and Anjuman Khudam-e-Sufiya hold a monthly multi-faith event on the last Saturday of every month. The next event will be held on November 27, 2021, to commemorate the Urs of Hazrat Ghaus-e-Azam. The organizing committee invites everyone to attend and bring children along so they can learn more about their faith. Separate arrangements are made for sisters.
