Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat ‘Allamah Maulana Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri Razavi Ziyaee دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه has given us some important Madani pearls in his letter, about conducting the celebration of Milad. Let’s attentively listen to this “Maktoob-e-Attar” (letter of Attar):

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

Sag-e-Madinah Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri Razavi عُـفِـیَ عَـنۡـهُ says Salam from the core of his heart to all the devotees of Beloved Rasool on the delightful occasion of Milad celebration.

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَ رَحۡمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ                                                           اَلۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ عَلٰي كُلِّ حَالٍ

تم بھی کر کے اُن کا چرچا اپنے دِل چمکاؤ

اُونچے میں اُونچا نبی کا جھنڈا گھر گھر میں لہراؤ

Brighten your heart praising the Most Beloved Rasool

And wave the Nabi’s flag at every home

On the first night of Rabi’-un-Noor, make this announcement three times in all the Masajid:

ربیعُ النُّور اُمّیدوں کی دُنیا ساتھ لے آیا
