The Kandhoori Festival - Part One

Though i am on the other side of the globe, my heart still earnestly wish i was at Nagore together with my family to participate in the ever great Kandhoori Festival. It is actually an auspicious event to remember the passing of a great pure soul known by the name as Hazarath Kuthbul Aktab Farthul Ahbab Syedus Sathath Syedina Abdul Kadir Shahul Hameed Kadir Oli Ganjasavay Ganjabukah Bathusha Sahib (RA).



My thoughts flashbacked last year this time. I was at Nagore, together with my family. At this time, the board of Trustees of Nagore Dargah will be preparing for this world reknown occasion. This periodic commemeration will start on the 10th of Jamaidul Akhir of every Islamic calender. This year this will happen (with the will of Allah swt) on 27 June 2007 in Nagore in India.



My name is Bava Bahrudeen , the 11th direct descendant of the Hazarath Syed Shahul Hameed Kadir Wali(RA). My father will be as busy as an ant joining the many people in the bandwagon of creating a holy festive ambience in and around the Dargah.

My body is here but my soul is with my Great Grand Father's 450th Kandhoori Festival. This profound feelings towards this event has led to this writing. This diary is thus to quench that thirst of my non presence in Nagore Dargah Shareef this time of the year.

I will tell you the details of the actual preparation in Part 2

Worry Overpowered The People Of Manickapoor

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

Do you worship God or something or someone?

⚘️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 yo...
