Stating that Hazrat Syed Ali Hamdani (RA) not only taught Kashmiri people the oneness of Alaah but also built the economic structure for Kashmir, Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Yasin Malik, Saturday urged people to adhere to the teaching of Sufi saint.

While addressing a congregation of devotees at the shrine of Khankahi Moulaa, Yasin Malik said the Poet of East, Dr Sir Mohammad Iqbal had rightly described Hamdani as leader of non-Arabs.

Malik said that when the Sufi saint came to Kashmir, the whole valley was on the way of transgression.“It was charisma of Amir-i-Kabir that enlightened people here. From being unemployed Amir-i-Kabir taught Kashmiri people skills of shawl making, carpet making, paper machee, woodcarving and other handicrafts that improved the economic condition of people here,” said Malik.

He said that the economic edge that Sufi saint gave Kashmiri people were in addition to the divine faith of great religion Islam.

Malik said that Amir-i-Kabir (RA) was undoubtedly a great doctor, leader, and a matchless orator. Malik added that it is because of the services of Kashmiri people towards these Sufi saints that people despite being under continues oppression are still alive.

Chairman Hurriyat (M) while paying reverence to the Sufi saint said that Shah-i-Hamdan (R) was a torch bearer of truth, reality and divinity. He said that it was a charisma of this Sufi saint that despite only three visits to valley he was able to revert the whole population towards Islam.

Mirwaiz said that Amer-i-Kabeer’s teachings not only ornate the people here with great religion of Islam but also taught many skills which improved the economic condition of people here.

“We can celebrate his Urs only when we adhere to the path he showed us and follow the Quran and teaching of Prophet Mohammad (SAW),” said Mirwaiz.
