"In the time of the Prophet (PBUH) Tasawwuf was a reality without a name. Today Tasawwuf is a name, but few know its reality".
Review of 11th Anniversary UK Urs Mubarak - March 2009.
Held in Keighley in commemoration of Hazrat Maulana Hafiz Muhammad Yaqub Sahib (RA).
Held in Keighley (UK) in commemoration of Hazrat Maulana Hafiz Muhammad Yaqub Sahib (RA).
The ever-colourful and vibrant occasion of the annual Urs Mubarak (blessed memorial) of the great Saint, Hazrat Khawaja Peer Muhammad Yaqub Sahib (RA) is observed successfully with due ceremony every Spring in Keighley, West Yorkshire.
It is an opportunity for devotees to celebrate the life of our beloved Hazrat Sahib who is always remembered with great vigour. The fervently anticipated monumental function usually commences shortly after Zuhr prayers, with a constant stream of devotees arriving throughout the afternoon, leading to what can only be described as an ocean of humanity that ultimately engulfs the magnificently decorated venue at Highfield Masjid. The function hall is adorned with colourful banners and bright lights, and the stage is elevated to seat the many distinguished scholars, guests and naht khwans.
Speeches by eminent scholars and students of Islam alike capture the full attention of the huge gathering, and the emotional recitation of the Holy Qur'an and devotional reading of nahts raises the emotional state of the audience.
Undoubtedly, the conclusion of the ceremony always remain a poignant memory for everyone. Hazrat Peer Sahibzadah Dr. Sajid-ur-Rehman Sahib speaks with immense passion, captivating the audience with His Excellency's heart-rending words.
Food and refreshments are provided throughout the whole event, allowing distance travellers some respite. Much deserved credit is owed to the Anjuman Mohibeen-e-Mashaikh Baghar Shareef (UK) who labour intensely to ensure the success of the Urs Mubarak, which requires enormous work and endless generosity of time, effort and money to accommodate the vast numbers, many of whom arrive from across the country, and even some from abroad.
The exquisite event passes successfully with the spiritual guidance, dua and blessings of our beloved Shaykh, Hazrat Peer Dr. Sahibzadah Sajid-ur-Rehman Sahib, without whom none of this would have been possible. For this, we shall forever remain indebted to His Excellency. However, it remains to thank the one whose guests we all are, the great saint, Hazrat Khwaja Hafiz Muhammad Yaqub Sahib (RA). At this point words truly become redundant but remain our only tool of expression other than to put into action in our own lives Hazrat Sahib's philosophy of love of the Beloved Prophet of Islam (pbuh). Truly none leave Hazrat Sahib's court disappointed - but immeasurably enriched in spirit from the vast wealth of His Excellency's great, ever-living, soul.
May Allah (swt) give us the strength to follow the right path, the magnificent examples of the Sunnah, and of our Beloved Prophet's (pbuh) family and companions, and of the Awliya-Allah. Ameen.
