Photo of the Day

Here's the sajjada nasheen (custodian) of the Shah Rukn-e-Alam sufi shrine in Multan - whose yearly urs or commemmoration of the death anniversary of the saint concluded yesterday - bestowing his good vibes to one of his followers...




You may, of course, recall the pir sharing good vibes in a slightly different manner and setting earlier...



What's that saying, 'In Rome, Do As...'?

This state of deep mysticism is result of the white turban he is wearing. The turban plays real magic to energize the metaphysical state of wearer. That is why there is tradition of passing on the turban to next Sajjada Nasheen after the death of the current custodian.

While the custodian is not wearing the turban, he can strike his head with Na-Mahram ladies. The moment he wears the Turban, his mysticism and spiritual powers revive.

Ummat would be proud of such a piece.
Very unbecoming of you, CP.

Cheap shot, guys. Have you have heard Mr Qureshi give addresses to his devotees? He advocates an Islam that is peaceful, tolerant and loving; we need more religious figures like him.

ARY News and Duniya news aren't that behind. And what's with the newscasters who graciously give their unsolicited piece of chitya mind with every news? I
remember this newscaster on Geo after airing 'shoania' segment said to her co-newscaster that 'media ko chayeh kay unke privacy ka bhee kheyal rakha jai' and just after that he came up with this line 'humara Geo ka camera har jaga poonch jata hai' and then they showed that 'Geo Exclusive' gym footage.
