Inauguration Ceremony — Gulshan-e-Maymar, Karachi

The annual Urs Mubarak and Foundation Inauguration Ceremony was held under the auspices of the Haji Waris Ali Shah Foundation at the sacred shrine of Hazrat Khwaja Syed Muhammad Waris Ali Shah Warisi, popularly known as Sarkar Waris Pak, in Gulshan-e-Maymar, Karachi.

The grand ceremony was presided over by Muhammad Masood Akmal Warsi (Chairman, Haji Waris Ali Shah Foundation). Distinguished Sufi scholars, religious leaders, and social figures from across the country graced the occasion.

The proceedings commenced with the recitation of the Holy Quran, followed by Naat-e-Rasool-e-Maqbool (Peace Be Upon Him). Various speakers shed light on the Foundation’s mission, its service to humanity, and the timeless teachings of Sarkar Waris Pak.

The ceremony also featured a soul-stirring Qawwali mehfil in which devotees participated with great fervour. The event concluded with a collective Dua (prayer) for the welfare of humanity.
