Gyarahvi Sharif Fatiha: Natiya Kalam Echoes with Message of Following Teachings of Auliya-e-Kiram
Prayagraj: On the occasion of Gyarahvi Sharif, a spiritual gathering (Ruhani Mehfil) was organized on Sunday in Kareli’s Ghaus Nagar, where the melodious recitations of Naat, Hamd, and Manqabat filled the atmosphere with devotion, love for the Prophet , and the fragrance of Sufi spirituality. The event marked the observance of the Fatiha of Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani Baghdadi (R.A.), emphasizing the teachings of Auliya-e-Kiram, humanity, love, and brotherhood.
Addressing the gathering, Maulana Arif Safvi said that the teachings of Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (R.A.) and Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (R.A.) continue to guide society towards peace, justice, and equality. He stressed that true harmony in society can be achieved by adopting the character and teachings of the saints. Islamic scholar and poet Arif Jalalpuri said that Prophet Muhammad Mustafa came as a mercy for all humanity. He conveyed the message of compassion, good conduct, justice, and humanity. He further said that the Prophet ﷺ always emphasized caring for one’s parents, helping others, and maintaining noble character.
He stated: “The teachings of Seerat-e-Nabi ﷺ and Auliya-e-Kiram guide humanity towards love, patience, and compassion.” The most soulful moment of the gathering came when the Na’at reciters—Hafiz Qadir, Hafiz Shahab, and Syed Nu’air—presented devotional poetry, filling the environment with spiritual emotion. Their heartfelt renditions deeply moved the audience, leaving many emotionally touched.
Selected couplets presented during the Mehfil added a special charm: “None can be a guide greater than the Prophet, Even in darkness, the lamp of love never extinguishes.” “His character perfumes the existence of the world, The journey of love is illuminated by the name of Ahmad .”
A Hamd was also presented: “By Your mercy, O Lord, the world is alive, If You show grace, light fills every heart.” On this occasion, the annual Fatiha of the late Tayyaba Khatoon was also observed, with prayers offered for the reward of her soul.
At the conclusion of the event, Sufi-e-Basafa Nizamuddin Safvi led a collective supplication (dua), praying for peace, communal harmony, brotherhood, and the progress of the nation.
