It gives
me immense joy to share reflections on the blessed occasion of the 600th Milad-e-Hazrat
Khalifatullah Mehdi Maud (Alayhi Salam) celebrated here in Doha, Qatar on 7th
November 2025.
In my
humble understanding, any Jalsa or gathering held in remembrance of our Buzurgan-e-Deen
should serve as a means of drawing closer to Allah, enlightening our hearts,
and strengthening our faith and beliefs. Such gatherings are not merely events,
but spiritual reminders of our purpose and devotion.
This year, my family and I were honoured to receive an invitation from Bhai Ikram Ansari, who hails from Dayera-e-Channapatna, Karnataka. His dedication to community service for the sake of Allah is truly inspiring. May Allah accept his noble deeds, grant him and his family abundant blessings (ba-barkat), and reward them with success in this life and the hereafter. Almost twelve to fifteen families were invited to the Jalsa and our brothers were delighted to participate in good numbers.
The Jashn-e-Milad - Mehdi ahs was a beautiful reminder of unity, faith, and gratitude. The gathering was
filled with recitations, heartfelt speeches, and collective prayers, all of
which created an atmosphere of serenity and spiritual upliftment. Success of such
event’s are also dependent on prayers of our Murshideen across India who have
indirectly or directly impacted my faith and personally strengthened my
spirituality by meeting them or hearing their sermons.
Program Sequence of Milad-e-Hazrat Khalifatullah Mehdi Maud (Alayhi Salam) – 7th November Evening
The blessed gathering unfolded with spiritual depth and heartfelt devotion. The sequence of the event was as follows:
- Congregational Ishaa Prayers under the Imamat of Bhai Aejaz Najmi
- Tilawat-e-Qur’an by Bhai Adil Raza Abdul Hafeez
- Zikr-e-Mehdi Maud (Alayhi Salam) in Qur’an-e-Majeed by Bhai Aejaz Najmi
- Naat-e-Rasool (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) and Naat-e-Mehdi Maud (Alayhi Salam) by Bhai Mohammed Azam
- Taqreer on Jashn-e-Milad covering topics on the need of the hour delivered by myself (Tausif D Sayyed).
Key Themes of my Sermon Taqreer
By the Fazal of Allah and under the spiritual guidance of my Peer-o-Murshid Hazrat Mashayaq Shah Fareeduddin Miyan Nizami Qibla Ahl-e-Chanpatan, I was able to structure my sermon as follow:
- Taalimat-e-Mehdi Maud
(Alayhi Salam): Emphasizing the timeless guidance of Hazrat Mehdi Maud
(Alayhi Salam) by reflecting on his life and preachings.
- Implementation in daily
life: Encouraging believers to apply these teachings fearlessly in
practical ways, despite challenges.
- Hurdles and Jaza
(Rewards): Reminding that every obstacle faced in the path of faith brings
divine reward and spiritual elevation.
- Importance of book
reading: Stressing the need to engage with Qur’an-e-Majeed, books of our buzurgan-e-deen,
and historical accounts that strengthen our belief system.
- Historical reflection:
Sharing the story of Sultan Hussain Sharkhi’s battle as an example to
illustrate how the sayings of Hazrat Mehdi Maud (Alayhi Salam) have always
proven true. Especially the story of Hazrat Bandagi Miyan Sayyed Khundmir
Siddiq e Vilayat RZ on asking to accept the Pebbles (kankar) as Jewel
(Johar) amongst his companion to rule out any doubt on Farameen e Khalifatullah
Mehdi Maud Alayhi Salam.
With regards to history, I personally believe that people
who forget their history cannot make history.
And the ever-awakening message that used to be spoken by beloved
grandfather of my Peero Murshid i.e Hazrat Shah Abdul Sattar Al Maroof urf
Abji Miyan RH, “YAAD HAI TO AABAD HAI WARNA BARBAAD HAI”.
Hence, it is non-negotiable to remember our history and understand that Mehdaviyat is true essence of Islam.
