Dargah

A Sufi Sheikh has passed away in our nation and his followers are now putting up a shrine in his honor. Pilgrims from various parts of the country are already starting to come to the province to see the shrine of this great man, some calling him a saint. Local notables have set aside a charitable donation its maintenance and his former pupils have opened a lodge nearby.\nWhile there is nothing wrong with honoring a great man, some more traditionalist among the pious and the Ulema feel that this form or worship is sacrilegious.\n Should our ruler pay the shrine in our nation a visit it might do much, both for the prestige of the shrine itself but also for their popular perception.
