MORE GREAT NEWS! http://www.mihpirzada.com/events/urs2007.html has confirmed that "[FONT=arial,helvetica]together with Shaykh Amin al-Hasanat Shah al-Qurashi two other sons of Justice Shaykh Muhammad Karam Shah al-Azhari (may Allah be pleased with him) will also be attending the ‘Urs Mubarak: Major Muhammad Ibrahim Shah and Muhammad Mohsin Shah."[/FONT]
GREAT NEWS! Sidi Aqdas, Insha'Allah there will be a detailed lecture in English as http://www.gatewaytodivinemercy.com has just announced that Shaykh Ahmed Tijani Ben Omar will be attending and speaking at the 'Urs Mubarak on 8th July. (Shaykh Tijani is definitely a 'powerful english speaker'!)
They should get a powerful english speaker, someone like Imam Hamza Yusuf, Imam Yaqoubi, Imam Ninowy, or Imam Tahir al-Kiani, or someone like that.
Speeches at the 'Urs will be in Urdu - so it's ideal for urdu speaking brothers/sisters. + According to http://www.mihpirzada.com/events/urs2007.html - "Event open to all brothers and sisters. Separate prayer facilities and seating arrangement will be provided including live video broadcast to sisters hall."
Are women allowed to attend, especially women like me (white, british, young, english-speaking, convert)?
Insha'Allah the Urs of Shaykh Karam Shah (rahmatullahi 'alayh) will be held on Sunday 8th July at Jamia Al-Karam, UK: http://www.sunniport.com/masabih/showthread.php?t=3632
Salamz. This is a translation of "The True Status of Woman in Islam", by one Shaykh Pir Muhammad Karam Shah. http://www.marifah.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=104&Itemid=48 The translation is made by none other than Shaykh Tahir Mahmood al-Kiani. Regarding Shaykh Pir Muhammad Karam Shah, can someone shed some light on him for me; I've been trying to contact Shaykh al-Kiani for info but to no luck, he seems quite busy these day. Regards. Harisa (Helen)
