Aqa Moula TUS stopover in Qatar on 27th Jumadil Ukhra 1422h

27th of Jumadil Ukhra Hijri 1422 will be written in golden letters in the history of Doha Qatar. On this auspicious day, the heavenly angel Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS) set his holy feet on the soil of this great country. Although, this was the 4th visit of Aqa Moula (TUS), this visit was unique. It was the first time in history that Aqa Moula (TUS) was received as a guest of State of Qatar.

Right from the moment Aqa Moula's aircraft landed at Doha International Airport, the tajalli of Moula's shanaat started. The aircraft was directed to a place very near to the ministerial lounge where Aqa Moula (TUS) was to spend approximately two hours. The ground staff of Qatar Airways was on the extreme alert as the CEO of Qatar Airways, Mr. Akbar al Baqer was present at the tarmac to welcome Aqa Moula (TUS). As the Aqa Moula emerged from the aircraft, it seemed the dark night lighted up with the Ilahi anwaar emanating from Aqa Moula's rukhe noorani. Waali of Doha Qatar, Mulla Abizar Sh.Hamzabhai Patanwala rushed up the staircase to lead Aqa Moula (TUS) down the stairs. It was only due to Aqa Moula's wasila,
that this was possible given the grim security situation prevailing all around the world in the light of incidences in USA.

Mr. Akbar al Baqer led Aqa Moula into a waiting BMW and directed other waiting cars to take Shahzadas to the Ministerial Lounge. Aqa Moula was welcomed by Charge De Affairs from the Indian Embassy who was acting in place of new Indian Ambassador who has still not taken the charge. The First Secretary, Indian Embassy Mr. Ausaf Saeed, representative from Pakistan Embassy and other officials of State of Qatar greeted Aqa Moula (TUS).

After Aqa Moula (TUS) was through with the intimate discussions with Mr. Akbar al Baqer and other officials, khushi nu sharbat was presented to Aqa Moula (TUS). After this wadhawani rasam was performed after which Anjumane Izzi Jamaat Doha offered Najwae Shukr to Aqa Moula (TUS). Mumineen present in the lounge had the sharaf of qadambosi and also Moula heard various arizas of Mumineen.

Mumineen were delighted when the Chief of Protocol from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, State of Qatar, Mr. Ahmed Jassim Al Mulla arrived to greet Aqa Moula (TUS). It was he who had made the necessary arrangements to receive Aqa Moula (TUS) as a guest of State of Qatar. Aqa Moula (TUS) had a lengthy discussion with him on various socio-economic issues concerning State of Qatar. Aqa Moula presented him with a shawl, Tasbeeh, a wooden sandook and a Bismilla engraved in silver and gold. Aqa Moula (TUS) kissed the Bismillah before presenting. So impressed was Mr. Mulla with Aqa Moula's action that he too kissed the Bismillah. Mr Mulla then told Moulana that he would cherish the gift presented by Aqa Moula and preserve it till death.

Mumineen who had gathered outside the lounge and who were not allowed inside were getting impatient to get a glimpse of Aqa Moula (TUS). Repeated requests were made to the security either to allow mumineen in the lounge, or allow Aqa Moula to step out of the lounge. But Security chief was reluctant on security grounds. Then suddenly Moula asked as to where be Mumineen and whether it was possible to walk upto them. Then Aqa Moula instructed Shaikh Wajihuddin to request Mr. Mulla once again who immediately agreed. Mumineen present inside were wondering as to what changed so suddenly and were shocked to see Moula getting up instantly and speeding towards the gate where mumineen were eagerly waiting to see Aqa Moula TUS 's chehrae anwar. Aqa Moula offered salaami to Mumineen who burst into tears at the sight of Moulana TUS waving at them. Moula TUS granted Deedar nu sharaf for almost five minutes and came back delighted.

After receiving ruhaani barakaat for almost 2 hours came the sad moment of Aqa Moula's departure. Mumineens' faces were shadowed with grief when Aqa Moula TUS proceeded towards the waiting aircraft. Once into the aircraft, Aqa Moula (TUS) granted Umuruddin Raza to Wali of Doha Qatar ane farmayu 'Tame maaro paigham Doha na mumineen ne pohchavjo ke Mamluke Ale Mohammed ye tamara logo na haq ma ghani doa kidi chhe'. As the aircraft was given all clear signal and it started slowly moving towards the runway, mumineen watched dimly lighted windows of the aircraft with tears in their eyes.

Mumineen of Doha Qatar are still overwhelmed by this great ehsaan and navazish of Aqa Moula (TUS). Each moment of this great event will be embedded in the memories of Doha Mumineen for rest of their
lives and the barakaat bestowed by Aqa Moula (TUS) will lighten up their duniya and akherat. May Allah grant Umre Khidar to our beloved Aqa Moula (TUS).
