Lahore offered Maghrib behind Shaikh Sudais
As I informed you in my earlier post that Imam of Ka’aba Shaikh Sudais would perform Imamat of Salat-e-Maghrib at Badshahi Masjid, yesterday the world witnessed the great event that lahoris showed their love for Islam and for Imam by offering prayers behind Shaikh Sudais. I couldn’t find the exact figure but rough estimation is that around a million people in and out of Masjid performed Namaz behind Shiakh. This is the same mosque where famous Qari Basit also recited Quran.
Who says Pakistanis have no interest in Islam? the picture is enough to give proof that Pakistanis still love Islam despite of experiencing Musharraf’s pathetic enlightment and moderation. Go to Makkah and Madina and you will learn yourself how much Pakistanis have passion for Islam. We don’t experience it in our daily life because these innocent people have no one to guide them properly plus they are also attacked by western culture and values on state level, otherwise if one guides them properly them properly then Pakistanis are more Islam loving nation than anyone else. After all, we are the nation who belongs to a country which was propheized by the Prophet(saw) 1500 years back. The other thing which I noticed that more poor people men and women were in that sacred gathering than anyone else.
I was just wondering How Shaikh would be feeling after offering Imamat and Namaz at Badshahi Masjid or any other place in Lahore. A person who spent his life to offer Namaz infront of Black Ka’aba building wold be feeling strange for offering not infront of Ka’aba. I felt this because when I offered salat infront of Ka’aba most of my time during my Umrah trip, I felt a bit restless when I went o madinah. But then, I knew that I am in house of My Prophet(saw) who is darling of Allah but frankly I felt very strange and uncomfortable when I performed Asar at my home after returning back. So, when I felt this then what would be shaikh’s feeling? Only Allah and Shaikh knows the best. The difference is, Shaikh will Inshallah return back to Makkah while I don’t know when wil I go back.
Anyways, Shaikh Sudais will be performing Imamat Friday prayers at Shah Faisal Masjid Islamabad. I don’t know why he’s not coming Karachi.
I just pray that all who offerd Namaz behind Shaikh get chance to go Makkah and offer Namaz behind Shaikh-Ameen.

AoA,
I was amazed too, to see such a huge crowd at the Badshahi Masjid Mashallah. But i wish the event was more organized and people would have displayed some patience and ethics. They should not have got up to leave while the Imam e Kaaba was still standing there and waiting to deliver the sermon.
And our ever so bright ministers should not have deliverd their unnecessary speeches.

Waslam Jaweria,
Ignore those ministers, they are not worthy enough to be discussed. As far as mismanagment, bhai these are PAKISTANI PEOPLE who are always mismanaged and disorganizec PLUS the crowd was around a million, the crowd which was dying to see Imam. So nothing wrong to ignore this mismanagment:)

Hi,
Just wondering… How/where was the existence of this country foretold by the Prophet(P.B.U.H)? I’ve never heard about this before.
Thanks!

@ Qasim -
So, you think that the prophets were the foretellers. I am not at all surprised with your humor, though. And just wondering, that where and how this post make you think this sort of thing in any way?

Definately Hina whatever you said is 100% true but those who have offered prayer infront of Kaba physically can explain better that how does it feel when you pray infront of a building which is called GOd’s home on earth.
