Syed Waris Ali Shah (Alayhir Rahmah) Urs Celebration
Alhamdulillah, we were honoured to commemorate the blessed Urs of Syed Waris Ali Shah Al-Hussaini (Alayhir Rahmah), the founder of the Silsila Warisiya.
The gathering was attended by many Warsi brothers, who beautifully recited poetry authored by Syed Waris Ali Shah (Alayhir Rahmah) in praise of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ. Allama Muhammad Afzal Saeedi Sahib congratulated everyone for attending and spoke about the remarkable life and teachings of this great Sufi saint.
Born on 1st Ramadan 1232 AH and tracing his noble lineage to Imam Hussain (RA) through Imam Musa al-Kazim (RA), Syed Waris Ali Shah (Alayhir Rahmah) devoted his life to seeking the pleasure of Allah. His teachings emphasised sincerity in worship, love for humanity, humility, contentment, and bringing hearts together rather than creating division. His spiritual influence extended far beyond the Muslim community, with followers from many different backgrounds.
The keynote address focused on the Islamic virtues of Hayฤ (modesty)and Ghayrah (protective honour), drawing upon the Qur'an, Hadith and the sayings of the noble Companions (RA). We were reminded that true faith is inseparable from modesty, that sincerity and humility are beloved to Allah, and that a believer should always remain conscious of Allah in both public and private.
We pray that Allah Almighty enables us to adopt these noble qualities, benefit from the teachings of the pious, and keep us steadfast upon the path of sincerity, humility and love for His Messenger ๏ทบ.
We thank all those who attended and contributed to making the gathering a spiritually uplifting occasion, including Haji Muhammad Ashfaq Warsi Sahib, Muhammad Yunus Warsi Sahib, Muhammad Shahzad Warsi, Muhammad Ijaz Qadri and Captain Muhammad Ashraf.
May Allah accept everyone's efforts. Ameen.
