All the praise to One and the Only Creator of all what we know and of all that what we do not know; Who brought us under one roof to celebrate the emergence and growth of the Global Spirituality. I am thankful to your kind and learned self and to the hospitality and Kazakh love that I experienced during my stay in Kazakhstan. It is regretted that bomb exploded at the eastern gate of the Baba Farid Shrine in Pakpattan early Monday morning, killing at least six people, including three women and injuring several others. The bomb was planted in a milk container on a motorcycle A shrine of a Sufi Saint; where people from every religion and confession and faith comes for the blessings. Who is considered to be the first Punjabi Language Poet. A saint whose Poetry is the part of the Holy Book of another religion " Sikhism". A saint whose Spiritual Master and teacher was from Central Asia, fro the city of Osh in present day Kyrgyzstan In Sufi Termnology the courtyard of a Sufi Saint is called " Astana" meaning that this is the place of gathering of those who are seeking the path of Heart, who are seeking the heart of the purpose of life. This is my " Astana".
Which became the target of the extremist right after the global spiritual gathering and 4 days right after we passed the Declaration. My " Astana" was hitted by a Bomb of hatered. Mr. Tolegen, May Long Live your " Astana" ! my Astana is the target of the hatered...bleedy foot prints in the courtyard. Those who believe in the Unity and are able to see the Unity behind the multiplicity..every " Astana " is the same " Astana"...its not yours ; its not mine. Its Ours. This is not the first attack of terror on these place of peace, love and harmony.The government had failed to provide adequate security to shrines in Pakistan. In one of the deadliest strikes, a bomb blast in July at the Data Darbar in Lahore killed more than 40 people.Eight people, including two children were killed in an attack at Shah Ghazi's shrine in the teeming port city of Karachi on October 8.
The philosophy of extremism is prevailing in the country, which got birth during the cold war between USSR and USA and Russian invasion into Afghanistan when from all over the Muslim world people with this particular philosophy were brought in and got trained to fight against USSR by badly interpretative the term of Jihad, brought up and got strengthen on the patronized of oil economies of Middle East has turn into such a dinosaur which has threatened the peace of the world. We as Muslim are more victims of this extremism.
In this the Sufi community which needs the support of the International Peace Makers for its capacity building. It is proven that the ideology can not be bomb, so is with the extremism. The only thing which can combat is the Islamic Spiritual Movement of Sufism. International Institutions and NGO's should come forward in the support of Sufism.
In this environment of growing extremism, I have initiated the project of Chishtiya Ribbat Sufi Studies Center in Pakistan, one of its kind. To promote the real message of peace and love, and humanity and patience of Islam, the teachings of Chishtiya order ..." Love All , and Hate None". We appeal every peace loving, humanity loving, heart; individual or the organisation or the government, to please support us with your donations to start distributing flowers among the humanity while they are bombing. Love is the answer to the hate. Please join me in my cause of establishing the Institute of Sufi Studies to let spread and support the spiritual culture of the world. This is the real task. Mere talks of peace will avail us not. This is the time of action, please help and join our cause. Let us now take the "Banner of Peace" to the public. Lets start preaching spirituality right from the most conflicted region of the world. Below is the mission statement of Chishtiya Ribbat based on the last sermon of the Great Sufi Saint Hazrat Khwaja Moin Uddin Chishti order. This is the menifesto of Chishtiya Spiritual Lineage of Sufism.
Our mission Statement is none other than what has been the mission of the great Sufis of Chishtia silsila. And we quote here as it was summarized by Hazrat Khwaja Moeen-ud-Din Chishti, Ajmeri, Ghreeb Nawaz (ra) in his final sermon:
Love all and hate none.
Mere talk of peace will avail you naught.
Mere talk of God and religion will not take you far.
Bring out all of the latent powers of you being and reveal the full magnificence of your immortal self.
Be surcharged with peace and joy, and scatter them wherever you are and wherever you go.
Be a blazing fire of truth, be a beauteous blossom of love and a soothing balm of peace.
With your spritual light dispel the darkness of ignorance; dissolve the clouds of discord and war.
Spread the message of goodwill, peace and harmony among the people.
Never seek any help, charity or favours from anybody except God.
Never go to the courts of kings, but never refuse to bless and help the needy and the poor, the widow and the orphan when they come to your door. This is your mission, to serve the people.
Carry it out dutifully and courageously, so that I, as your Pir-o-Murshid, may not be ashamed of any shortcommings on your part before the Almighty Allah and our Holy predecessors in the silsila on the Day of Judgment.
Mr. Tolegen , I need your help and support in re-construction of Campus of Chishtiya Ribbat.( Chishtiya Astana), and if WFSC , can patronize Chishtiya Ribbat Center as a Pilot project to promote spirituality in the most conflicted and Hot restless region of the world, facing the religious extremism, terror, and hatered.
Lets build our spiritual " Astana" in Pakistan.
Looking forward with a hope that I will get some positive answer.
