A spiritual journey to turkey

Sorry for being lost :) We are in Turkey at the moment, reviving our soul and heart by visiting "Shikoh e Turkamani" -- the great Jalal and Jamal of Khilafat e Usmania and also paying our greatest of respects to Sayyadi Abu Ayub Ansari.

Here in this pic we are at the muqam of Sultan Muhemmed Fateh, the great Jannati Sultan who was blessed to be the one who captured Constantinople in 1453. A truly soul shaking experience to visit this great Sultan who was the "Salahuddin" of the time and have now become immortal as one of the greatest heroes of Islam. Turks have made an amazing movie on his life -- Fateh 1453. May Allah bless us with another Sultan Fateh today for we so desperately miss him in these times of humiliation and insult.

While we are in awe to see the grand grandeur of Khilafat e Usmania, our hearts bleed to see that what we have lost. The seat and soul of Khilafat is now just a tourist resort from the Western countries which once shook under the Jalal of this empire in Istanbul. The streets, palaces and Masjids which controlled the entire world from 14th to 19th century, have now become the humiliating remains of a lost glory we so dearly miss.

InshAllah, we will revive this Khilafat again and this visit has further ignited our passion to work for mission Takmeel e Pakistan! By Allah, we will not rest until we revive the lost glory of this Ummah.

 Our Turkish Odyssey as it unfolds. It is a magical place, transforms and transports you into a royal era when the most magnificent civilization led by the great Usmani sultan's defended the honor of the Ummah with such dignity and grace tha

t it is almost surreal! When Iqbal said that Momin will again be gifted with the "Shikoh e Turkamani", Jalal and Jamal of the Turks, then he had this vision in his heart and soul! You have to be here to be blown away by this.....

Hazri at our beloved Mohammad Fatih (The conqueror of Constantinople

Sultan Mohammad Fateh had cursed the man who would revert Hagia Sophia into a Cathedral. The Great Sultan captured Constantinople at the age of 26 and died at the age of 49 after achieving what no Muslim General could in the last 900 years - capturing Constantinople.

Love for Pakistan is over flowing in Turkey MashaAllah, we get visible expressions of love and respect when Turks see the Pakistani Flag on our chest

Water Fountain in Front of Top Kapi Palace, every Sultan and his Queen built such fountains as sadqah e Jariah

In Front of 1000 year old Former Cathedral of Hagia Sophia  which was converted into Masjid by Sultan Fatih in 1453. In 1924 Mustafa Kamal converted into a museum and today no salat is offered in this masjid.

This is the Top Kapi Palace, the most sacred place after Haramain in Makkah and Medina ! Do you know why??? The entire sacred collection of Prophets, Sahabas and our beloved Sayyadi Rasul Allah (sm) are preserved here. You wont believe this but let us list a few sacred relics which are available for ziarat and display. 1. The Sword of prophet Dawood (as). 2. The Turban of Prophet Yusuf (as). 3. The cup of prophet Ismail (as). 4. The famous stick of prophet Moosa (as). 5. Swords and weapons of our beloved Sayyadi Rasul Allah (sm). 6. Clothes, hair, tooth and footmark of beloved Sayyadi Rasul Allah (sm). 7. Swords of All four Khulfa e Rashideen. 8. Swords of Hazrat Khalid Bin Waleed, Hazrat Jaffar Tayyar, Hazrat Musab Bin Umair and many other Sahabas. These are the relics which were kept with the Khalifa for 1300 years and are now preserved here till the Khalifa returns again. What hurts and bleeds the heart is that these most sacred treasures which were kept as closest guarded relics by the Khalifa are now being displayed for tickets and money to all and sundry especially the non-Muslims from the western world who have no respect towards these sacred treasures. These are NOT show items for semi nude western hippies who come in thousands everyday to see them. The treasures of Ummah are now being displayed for those who despise them while the ummah waits for their rightful Khalifa! This hurts, truly hurts......
