JAIPUR: Governor Kalraj Mishra has urged Dargah Ajmer to appeal to the Muslims across the country to offer prayers and break fast inside their houses in the month of Ramzan.
During a video conferencing with the Khadim community, he asked them to share the message among the followers of Sufi.
Mishra called up the Khadim community of Dargah and greeted them on Ramzan. During a discussion, he discussed ways to spread the message among the community to fight the battle against the coronavirus.
“I am heartened to learn that how Dargah Khadims have already guiding their followers to not visit mosques during Ramzan. I believe that the followers of Khawaja Sahab will follow the message of their Khadims,” Mishra said.
Syed Bilal Chishti, a khadim and an international Sufi speaker, assured Mishra that they will ask the devotees to abide by the rules. “If you are in a pandemic hit area, don’t go out and if you are out of the pandemic-hit area, don’t come is the saying of our prophet which is what our rule of law says. So abiding lockdown is a religious duty of all Muslims,” Chishti told the governor.
Mishra concluded the session by saying Muslims should pray to Allah to end this pandemic and bring prosperity again.
