DEAR MUMINEEN,

                           AREN'T WE THE ADNAA GHULAAMO OF OUR REVERED BAWA MUSHFIQ SYEDNA MOHAMMAD BURHANUDDIN AQA [TUS] ??

The khidmat guzaars of Mumineen at large and ofcourse MAULA [tus] too .

I have a feeling in my heart always to call my self humbly as abde-SYEDNA[TUS]

Some of my friends forget this and fail to write when they sign at the finish of their articles,poems,adds etc etc ..May be they find themselves too formal or have no idea of the meaning and it's importance for a mumins life .

abd means ghulaam it is the aala a and divine tasavvur ...

muminaat can write amt-e-SYEDNA[tus] ,

plural for males is abid-e-SYEDNA [tus] and females is ama-e-SYEDNA[tus]

Its a vital aspect of adab and nehaj of a true mumin to always give his identity as abde-SYEDNA[TUS] or mamluk-e-Syedna[tus] This is in know way a matter of orthodoxy or extremism  but the modest and humble way of showing our tafadi and jaa nisaari to our Maula[tus] especially in such  internet sights that are truly designed for Maula[tus] 's and mumineens khidmat ..

During Taher Saifuddin Aqa[rza]'s time one Mukhlis mumin who was sent for khidmat miles away from his home .He used to sent dua arz ,vajebaad,najwa tus shukr to Maula by money orders or telegrams [for arz then]used to always mention SLAVE OF SYEDNA[TUS] on the senders line and then his name it was British era then and they wouldn't understand abd so he used to write in English -SLAVE...AMAZING ! how profound must be his jasbaa of taa'at ,

Khidmat and immense  love  for MAULA  how great was his Khidmat jazbaa and tasavvur.

NO and never has MAULA[TUS]  has ever asked us to do this ,infact it's our honour to be His ghulam and slave ...as Maula[tus] says that aa ghulaami maa apni jaaveda ni

zindagi  chay hurriyyat chay,aazaadgi chay....MAULA[TUS] KHUD AAP HAMESHA MAMLUK-E-AALAY MOHAMMAD KAHI  AAP NI VAAT KAHAY CHAY ..HAQ NAA DAAI NI AA SHAAN CHAY KAY PURA AALAM NAA BAADSHAH THAEE NAY  KHUD NAY AALAY MOHAMMAD NA MAMLUK ANAY GHULAAM KAHAY CHAY ...tou apun  jo agar aa shaan naa MAULA[tus] naa valaayat raakhnaar chay tou apun bhi Haq naa mumineen kahwaay tou havay apni waari aaway tou apun khud nay abd-e-SYEDNA[TUS] kahiye kay nahi ???bay shakh kehwuj joye!

.....

..This simplistic reality is worth understanding and implementing daily in our lives ...

ma-as-salaam,

abde-SYEDNA[TUS]
