Baba Qalande

سورہ رحمن اور دعا سے تو کام ہو جائیں گے
بڑی بات نہیں ہے
ہم اس دعا پہ کتنا قائم ہیں
یہ دیکھنا ہے
قائم نماز اللہ کو دیکھتے رہنا ہے

Sufi path to the hear of pakistan )While we were bracing ourselves to discover Multan and its well-known rich sufi culture, we came across a friend who was a firm believer of “Baba Qalander” in Lilla Shareef. We happened to be just in time, and had the chance to attend Baba Qalander’ urss (death anniversary of a sufi saint.
Baba Qalander belonged to a notable syed family and had done vast research in music and dhammal therapy. He believed that Quran and a strong connection with The Creator could solve anything in this world. He had confidence that Quranic words and recitation had radiations that cured every kind of mental and psychical illness. He came out with a cassette of Surah Al Rehman and asked people for deeper concentration whilst listening. This practice left many devotes and followers in tears when finished with the recitation, feeling a stronger and deeper connection with God.

Later on, a program “The Ultimate Remedy” was launched on PTV in January 2001 that aired the practice and its benefits. Followers all around the world still hold fast to Surah Al Rehman and consider it the only medicine and shifa remedy for all kinds of diseases.
