Promote peace to live up to high ideals of Sufi saints: Manmohan
JAIPUR: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday called for promoting
peace, tolerance and harmony in a world rife with conflict and
discord, to live up to the high ideals of Sufi saints.
A velvet ‘chadar’ was offered on behalf of Dr. Singh at the historic
dargah of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer to mark the
ongoing 797th Urs. Union Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s
Office Prithviraj Chavan laid the ‘chadar’ at the shrine along with
wreaths and prayed for the welfare of people in the country.
In his message addressed to the pilgrims taking part in the Urs, Dr.
Singh said the values espoused by Khwaja Gharib Nawaz in the 13th
century continued to inspire the people even now.
“The Khwaja exhorted his disciples to develop sun-like affection and
earth-like hospitality. The highest form of devotion is to redress the
misery of those in distress and feed the hungry,” he said. ‘More
relevant today’
Dr. Singh said the Sufi saint’s teachings were more relevant in
today’s world . “The Urs of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz should be an occasion
to reflect on his values and promote peace and harmony in the
society.”
Mr. Chavan, accompanied by Union Ministers of State Sachin Pilot and
Mahadev Singh, performed ‘ziarat’ at the mausoleum and offered
prayers. Abdul Ghani Gurdezi, a ‘Khadim’ (worker) of the dargah,
conducted ‘dastarbandi’ of the visitors and presented them with
‘tabarrukh’ (sweetmeat) for Dr. Singh.
Mr. Chavan read out the Prime Minister’s message at Buland Darwaza in
the dargah. Mr. Pilot read out its Hindi translation. A large number
of Congress leaders of Rajasthan were present on the occasion.
,A ‘chadar’ on behalf of Rajasthan Governor S.K. Singh will be offered
at the dargah on Monday.The Urs, which began on June 19 , will
continue till this week-end, sources said. Khwaja Gharib Nawaz founded
the Chishtiya order of Sufism in India. He is considered one of the
most outstanding figures in the annals of Islamic mysticism. The
annual Urs commemorates his death in 1236, which is observed as the
union of his soul with God.

Did Moinuddin Chisti preach high ideals to Mohammed Ghuri or
Qutubuddin Aibak?

Did Moinuddin Chisti lay a chadar at Prithviraj Chauhan's grave?

BEWARE OF SUFI "SAINTS"
Al-Ghazali was a Sufi:
Al Ghazali, perhaps the greatest Muslim scholar and a Sufi wrote:
"One must go on jihad (i.e., warlike razzias or raids) at least once
a
year...one may use a catapult against them [non-Muslims] when they
are
in a fortress, even if among them are women and children. One may set
fire to them and/or drown them...If a person of the Ahl al-Kitab
[People
of The Book - primarily Jews and Christians] is enslaved, his
marriage
is [automatically] revoked.One may cut down their trees...One must
destroy their useless books. Jihadists may take as booty whatever
they
decide...they may steal as much food as they need...
