“Teachings of great Sufis, particularly of Hazrat Peer Dastagir Sahib ( RA) have shaped the contours of our social, cultural and spiritual life. These great men taught people with the core values of Islam, the Quranic teachings and various other facets of Islamic learning including Hadith and Sunnah. Kashmir bears deep imprints of the teachings of such great saints, who out of their personal example revolutionized our society by purging it from various evils,” he said

Their message stressed on the unity of humankind; these great men embodied the substance of Islamic values and teachings. I take this opportunity and greet people on the auspicious Urs observance. I hope that those who get to visit the shrine on the auspicious eve are bestowed with spiritual bliss and contentment.”
