Lahore, 18th Zilhaj:
The 18th of Zilhaj holds deep spiritual and historical significance in the Islamic world. On this sacred day, believers commemorate the event of Ghadir Khumm, where the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) famously declared:
“Man kuntu Maula fa haza Aliyun Maula”
(“Whoever I am master (maula) to, Ali is also his master.”)
This profound declaration affirmed the spiritual authority (wilayah) of Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA), the gateway to divine wisdom and the lion of Allah. The occasion serves as a reminder of loyalty to the rightful path and the importance of spiritual succession in Islam.
Tehreek Dawat-e-Faqr honors this blessed day by reaffirming its commitment to the teachings of the Prophet (PBUH) and the spiritual leadership of Hazrat Ali (RA), who is considered the manifestation of divine gnosis (Marifat) and the perfect spiritual guide (Murshid Kamil).
Gatherings, special prayers, and spiritual discourses are held by devotees worldwide to express their devotion, deepen their understanding of Wilayah, and renew their allegiance to the truth of Faqr – the spiritual path illuminated by Hazrat Ali (RA).
