live Concert in islamabad!
A concert of Sufi Qalam by Arieb Azhar held in Lok Virsa, Open Air Theater earlier this month.
Traditional carpet seating was arranged and guests were requested to bring cushion with them, which gave a look of a Mahfil more than a concert where everyone was laying on their pillows and were ready to listen to the exuberant voice of Arieb Azhar, who was accompanied by Famous Tubla player Salman Ajmal.
Azhar started the show with the famous Qalam by Baba Bhulleh Shah, “Vehrhe aa varh mere,” which gave a boost to his extraordinary performance till the end. The songs were bringing the mysticism into the arena as everyone was swinging on the melodious flute and on guitar tunes.
Each and every song was one of its kinds which were adorned by the deep voice of Arieb that took the audience in to another world of spiritualism. The list of songs sung by Azhar was from Sufi poets like Baba Bhulleh Shah, Khwaja Ghulam Farid, Shah Hussain, Hazrat Amir Khusrau and list goes on and on.
Azhar expressed his deep liking for Sufi Qalam. He also informed that his next album will be coming in next spring and will be recorded in Croatia as he lived a part of his life there and is quiet inspired by the creation musicians. .”My next album will be based on Sufi Qalam as was the previous Album,” he added.
There were handful of audience to watch his performance and the rest really missed the opportunity. Azhar said that very few people are aware of the real essence of Sufi Qalam that is why it is not so popular among people. “My first album was not much of a success and that could be a reason of disliking of Sufi Qalam in the market,” he said.
He told Daily Times that concept of new video is all set but he is looking for a financial aid. “I am not a commercial artist and that what makes it harder for me to get a financial aid,” he said. He assured that as soon he gets a green signal from anyone interested, he will make a video.
His performance also included songs from Bosnia known as Sevdah meaning pain of love. He sung two sevdahs which were liked by the audience. I did not know the Bosnian language but the delivery of verses and the music was well knitted.
The songs which make everyone sing along were Nach Dila Hunn by Sarmad Sehbai, Mun Kunto Muala by Hazrat Amir Khusrau and Husn-e-haqiqi by Ghulam Farid. The last song which is all times favorite was “Damma Dum Must Qalandar” that got a round of applause and whistles as a gratitude to his performance.
Director of Lok Virsa said that this concert was just arranged to entertain audience before Ramadan after the holy month a full-fledged Mella will be held which is know as Artisan at Work Festival, an annual cultural folk festival held by the administration of Lok Virsa.
Sufi message is universal, for all humanity, not restricted to a religion.
Nothing beats Sufi poetry and music! Simply out of this world.
Ghalia – Thanks for sharing the evening’s proceedings.
I saw one beautiful Holy planet in dream after Fajjar prayer. That planet size is equal to our moon and surface very smooth and pure white like white paper and I saw that planet totally covered by text scripts on surface whole planet have texts and closely investigate I found wordings and these alphabets: ل پ ھ ر م س some of them not remembered its look like Urdu text and Arabic text like we write combination of alphabets but when I try to read it the sounds is different and unknown the word pronunciation unknown. This planet has whole book and text color is black and back ground is pure white this holy planet book scripts has headings before start the texts and bold headings and scripts start from right to left and also this Holy planet moving in anti clock wise circle like our earth is moving this is the whole Holy script planet of earth and came from Noor Allah and this will be open to all humanity of earth soon.
Allah say’s in Quran you born twice and you dead twice. satan iblees can see you where you cannot able to see him.
Your Rooh or Arwah or sprite is an actual and real kamil (truly) Momin and your Arwah were already born before you born with material on earth for temporary basis with trails to filter. Its like you were lived before in Jannat and now all Arwah or Rooh in trails they are in sleeping cells in Jannat and they send to earth simultaneously for trails when that time comes they come back to that cells until judgment day will come than you will be convert into new forms not material form its like same form when you born first time in Jannat.
I think it is about time that the NASA and the European Space Agency close their shop. There is absolutely no point in spending billions in any further space research.
All space research work can be done by Mohammad Akran R much cheaply and conveniently. He can discover all known and unknown planets, glaxies and whatnot, by merely sitting on a “massalah” after his fajjar prayers. A couple of nights of tahajjud may mean that there is nothing left in the space to discover. If India can become centre for outsouring of IT work and call centres, Pakistan can become a hub of outsourcing in space reserach, thanks to unmatched expertise of Akram.
Keep your discoveries flowing, Akram. At least, there will be one Muslim nation which can pride itself in progressing in science, not to mention he may be able to ‘see with his naked eyes’ the siuation and happenings in Jannat for all mortals — hooris, shaddy trees, pipelines of french wines, russian vodka, etc.
Akram I can’t wait for your next message. Please keep it up. With your out-of-the-box thinking, I propose that you should be included in the list of authors at IMB.
This guy Akram reminds me of the days when during zia’s days, the chemistry books read ” H2 aur oxygen jub allah key hukum sey milte hain tau paani banta hai”.
You need to force fully to siege your nuffs or egoism by Rooh or sprite or Arwah or souls, every year these days are remembrance for you from Allah how you can meditate to your Rooh or your souls by Fasting. But believe me donation or charity is the key for the peace in the world and fair charity only possible from this way make the box and put it on your door out side home or make a big charity box put it on your main street corners and daily put some money or any thing you better know in your region needy poor peoples they can pickup from that boxes this is the way you can help hungers in the world if every one do like this Allah will accept your charity and also Allah knows who took that charity doesn’t matter you also poor but spare it some for donate to other poor peoples, make your self new environment take care of each others Allah give you more Allah always watching you …

This is only one key bring the revelation in the world and this message came to me from Allah and Allah want equally share with your brothers what you have for your life facilities.. like one tree roots not bothers his branches who gave the fruits or not, roots not differentiate and equally distribute the food to all branches same thing branches not differentiate which root is good for his and they distribute his all energy food equally to all roots and its called complete strong tree same thing you all humans need to favor each others with charity and donations.
Your community charity not reach to needy persons it always filtered by satan so please don’t considers your charity organizations linked with hungers and needy peoples… Please make decisions your self other then no difference between animals and you…
With this kind of charity or donations your homes will be get special mercy from Allah and Allah protect those houses… Please start today if you live in poor regions in your countries…
Please translate and populate into your voice… Please make decision today, out there so many hunger eyes looking messiah who help them first…
When you leave the tomb for pray then real Islam will be in your heart and you will be pure Momin….
