Raising of Flags

-
1st Jamaidul Akhir
This is an auspicious and most celebrated day in Nagore. Many people of all faiths congregate along the streets of Nagore to have a glimpse of the flags in procession in adorned chariots carrying to Nagore Dargah. This is the first day of the Kandoori celebration in Nagore.


Flag is a sign of identity. It is the symbol of presence. It is signage of existence. In a war a flag is raised as a sign of victory. Similarly, the raising of flags in the five minarets of Nagore Dargah may be cited to the spiritual victory to the Kingdom of Islam through the holy Hazarath Kuthub ul Akthab Syedina Shahul Hameed (RA).

This year the raising of flags to the minarets will take place on the 16 June 2007. You can witness workers taking this job both as a holy privelge and income daringly hoisting the flag using a large pole. The pole is placed perpendicular to the minaret supported by a net like rope as depicted in the picture. Once the pole is set, the workers with the holy name in their hearts climb up using the net rope as pathway towards the pinnacle of the pole. There they raise the flag. If they had a vow they will say Ya Kadir Muradhu Hasil.

⚘️It' Friday again. May Allah swt bless and give us goodness in this world and in the hereafter, and grant us Jannathul Firdous.🤲 [from https://www.instagram.com/nerdy__muslimah?igsh=MXg5a3VqZGE1eWsxcg==] On the day of Judgement the Prophet will lodge the following complaint.  "Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur'an for just foolish nonsense."  May Allah swt protect us from this and enable us to read, understand and follow the Quran only.  Do you worship or admire anyone other than God?  Do you hold anyone in such high regard that you believe they are flawless, even though only God can truly be perfection itself? Is there anyone you love as deeply as you love God?  Is there any name you honor as much as the name of God, or perhaps even more?  Do you follow any religious laws that are not derived from the Quran?  Do you put all your faith and reliance in others, believing they have the ability to assist you on their

Worry Overpowered The People Of Manickapoor

The people of Manikapoor were worried. It was in the wee hours of the night. The people were overtaken by worry rather than a good night sleep. They were wide awake gathering outside the common area. It was because of the demand of the notorious robbers. They want money and belongings of the people by morning. Otherwise, the people of Manickappor should give them their women. The disunited Hindus and Muslims were united with this common problem. While they were gathered they heard a voice of the soldier of Islam. ‘If they want our wealth and money we can give them but if they want our women then we will fight..dear brothers take rest and we will meet in the morning’ said Hassan Hazereth Khoodus

The next instance, the boy saw a green horse descending from the sky. He ascended the horse back which was followed by 1000 angels of Allah swt. Bebi Fatimah saw them heading towards the abodes of the bandits who were occupying part of the village. As the boy Shahul Hameed entered the abode together with the 1000 angels, there were noise and clamour coming from the part of the village where the bandits took rest. The next moment, the notorious clans ran screaming aimlessly out of the village as though a great calamity had befallen them. They were frightened by Shahul Hameed and his soldiers. The entire village was awaken by this noise and commotion. One neighbour of Bebi Fatimah shouted ' Hey people, the bandits were frightened and running away from our village!. The prediction of Hazereth Hazzan Khudoos has come into being! Allah swt has saved us!' As the noise dissipated, Bebi Fatimah heard the boy's voice again in the midst of the night. She saw him and wanted to embrac
