Prof Ghulam Sarwar Qureshi -

About 32 km towards Sunder on Multan Road, there is a white dome and an impressive mosque on the right bank. This is the eternal abode of Irfani Baba, who is one of the band of sincere and devoted men.
His name was Syed Wajeeh-us-Seema Irfani,His village name is Lodhay. He passed Anglo vernacular exam from Christan missionary school on main chakwal road till 8 class it's equipment to o level and paper were marked in London. he passed only at the age of 8 .After this, he joined sanataram Dharma high school lala mussa then came to Lahore here he joined Punjab University and master degree in philosophy from Oriental college side by side he studied dars e nizami from jamia ghazanvia and then Jamie fatahiya
He was a successor of some great religious scholars. Right from his early childhood, Irfani showed signs of spiritual awakening. After receiving his early education at his ancestral place, he left his home to quench his thrust of knowledge. He was mainly concerned on the guidance one can draw from the Holy Quran as its application remains true for all times since it is the Universal Book. Like every earnest and reverent student of the Quran, first he finished ‘Dars-i-Nizami’ in seven years instead of 14 and then proceeded with his study with an inward joy difficult to describe. His Urdu translation of the Holy Quran bears witness to it. It was completed in just 40 days, which is unprecedented.
Baba Irfani used to interpret the Quran in its real meanings and fully utilized the latest scientific knowledge to illustrate the Quranic verses. He was imbued with the spirit of probing into the mystic realities with latest interpretation. This reflected that he was thoroughly well-grounded in classical Arabic literature and was well aware of the finer intricate of language and its fresh idiom with its day-to-day application. Besides this, he was fully conversant with the languages and dialects of Indo-Pak. He was a keen student of philosophy and enjoyed a firm grip on Iqbal’s thought and philosophy. He was himself a great poet and has many publications to his credit. He started his career as a journalist and remained associated with ‘the ‘Inqilab’, ‘Zamindar’, ‘Nawa-i-Waqt’, ‘Afaq’, Radio Pakistan and PTV. He was considered as a spontaneous expert in translating from English, Arabic and Persian. In his early sixties, he paid a visit to Ajmer Sharif, which changed his life. His famous ghazal, sung by late Mehdi Hasan “Ghuncha-i-shoq Iaga hai khilane” symbolizes the spiritual inspiration from Khawaja Moin-ud-Din Chishty. Since then, he started voicing the Message to people from all walks of life. At a gathering, termed as ‘mehfil’, people listened to him for guidance. His talk was not a conventional preaching but he satisfied all by replying their queries from the Quran. He would talk for hours and hours when he discussed the practical wisdom of the Quran and the Sunnah.
Baba Irfani changed the hearts of people. He established his own traditions of fine living and good manners in general. He is no more with us physically, but his teaching is right before us. He passed away on 22 Feb 1991.Baba ji Urs is being celebrated frm 6 shaaban 1411 h. 22 Feb 1991 A.D at Sunder Sharif Lahore.
Annual URS is commenced on Islamic dates 6 shaaban every year

The History of Calander.

  بارہ مہینوں کے نام کیسے پڑے؟ تاریخ کے جھروکوں میں جھانکنے کاموقع دینے والی دلچسپ داستان سال کے365 دن 12؍ مہینے رکھتے ہیں۔ ان میں کوئی30، کوئی31 اور کوئی28 یا29 دن کا ہوتا ہے۔  ان مہینوں کے نام کس طرح رکھے گئے، یہ داستان دلچسپ پس منظر رکھتی ہے۔                                  جنوری عیسوی سال کے پہلے مہینے کا نام، رومیوں کے ایک دیوتا جانس (Janus) کے نام پر رکھا گیا۔  جانس دیوتا کے متعلق کہا جاتا ہے کہ اس کی پوجا صرف جنگ کے دنوں میں کی جاتی تھی ,امن میں نہیں۔ دیوتا کے دو سر تھے، جن سے وہ بیک وقت آگے پیچھے دیکھ سکتا تھا۔اس مہینے کا نام جانس یوں رکھا گیاکہ جس طرح دیوتا اپنے دو سروں کی وجہ سے آگے پیچھے دیکھ سکتا ہے، اسی طرح انسان بھی جنوری میں اپنے ماضی و حال کا جائزہ لیتا ہے۔ یہ بھی کہا جاتا ہے کہ جنوری کا لفظ لاطینی زبان کے لفظ جنوا (Janua) سے اخذ کیاگیا جس کا مطلب ہے ’’دروازہ‘‘۔ یوں جنوری کا مطلب ہوا ’’سال کا دروازہ‘‘۔ماہ جنوری31؍ دِنوں پر مشتمل ہے۔           ...

The history of December Holidays

  The December holidays in the Indian subcontinent originated during the period of British rule (the British Raj). Origin of Public Holiday: As the ruling power was Christian, Christmas Day (December 25th) was established as a major public and government holiday throughout British India. Early Celebrations: Records from colonial-era cities like Calcutta (Kolkata) show elaborate and extensive Christmas celebrations by the European community beginning as early as the mid-18th century and becoming more widespread and lavish by the 19th century. Banks and government offices would typically close Winter School Vacations The Fortnight Break: The British-style education system introduced a fortnight-long (two-week) break around the Christmas and New Year period. This was a direct import of the academic calendar from the United Kingdom. This practice was well-established by the early to mid-19th century. Climatic Necessity: For many colder, high-altitude regions (especially in the north), ...
