Speech of His holiness Sufi Masood Ahmad Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar:
The head of TMUPI and chairman of LWF His holiness Sufi Masood Ahmad Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar said in his speech to the convention, I am very grateful to the Mashaikh have joined the Tanzeem Mashaikh Uzzam Pakistantoday and people from Hindu, Christian and other religious minority communities who are present here today with us on this stage in this convention. We all have vowed today to pull Pakistan out of danger. I am again very grateful to all of them who have shown great trust in us.Corruption is a main issue today we are facing here and few months ago we have suggested to take opinion of the Mashaikh Uzzam about their preferred parties or people who are suitable to form a strong corruption free government. We have received reports from all over Pakistan that people are so devastated and disappointed with the most political parties in Pakistan that they are now demanding desperately from the Army to take over and bring all these fraudsters and looters to the justice to severely punish them through Army courts. Chief justice of Pakistan is going to retire in few months he is confused and unable to handle the situation on his own. Re election is never been a solution in this country because corrupt politician are being elected again and again they somehow managed to get votes through rigging. These politicians never show you their faces after election whenever you need them to get work done in the area but they turn up on your door steps in the days of election to ask for votes and your support. We have water stood everywhere in our constituency sewage system is a total mess here people around here are extremely disturbed, properties around here are being crippled due to water getting inside the structure, in 2008 CM Shehbaz Shareef ‘s PA came in this area and he did nothing except boiling emotional speech and claims. Dengue attacked almost every household in this area we were constantly protesting and sending consecutive letters to the government officials but no one paid any attention to our problems. So now you can clearly see that these corrupt politician are doing nothing except giving emotional speeches on the TV channels. Their statements are very much contradictory to whatever they claim to be. If you remember in last election we had few meetings with the main leadership of MuslimLeague (Q) and we gave them few suggestions to improve the system but they refused our suggestions and said to us you do not worry as we will clean sweep in this election with huge majority because we are the most powerful party of this country. They were obsessed andaddicted to the Power of rule anyone can lose their mind when they get power in their hands. But I told them asmaking government in the center would be the most hardest thing that you cannot even form a strong opposition. Actually our voters and organizations were supporting them before when they were in government. In an independent public survey only 2% people showed faith in Q League. Time is short here I do not want to go into the details so I will brief you about the survey here, People showed 1% faith in MQM, 1% Jamat Islami,1% Pervez Musharaf and 22% people said they have no faith in any political party in Pakistan. The public asked us to take part in this election though independent candidates. In our opinion there is no party worthy of our alliance withthem, neither we are political people nor we are a political party, we are a spiritual welfare organization serving the mankind to get closeness and pleasure of Allah Almighty and his beloved Prophet (PBUH). Our aim is to serve the creatures of Allah Almighty. 22% people were those who do not have faith in any party. Now over 44% people have said that army should take over but political people say that Army take over is defamation for Pakistan.
People suggested us to give one more chance and conduct another survey of those who are outside our spiritual order and according to that survey report 0% Pervez Musharaf, 3.63% MQM, 1.98% Jamat-e-Islami, 1.93% Pakistan People’s Party, 0.73% Muslim League (Q), 7.73% Sunni Tehreek, 16.94% Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf,18.93% Muslim League (N) and then my name was written on the list so 35.58% people showed faith in me, these people were not our followers but still they showed faith in us just by judging though our performances and services for the humanity. The public wants to get rid of corruption and violence they want sincere & honest leadership, people are fed up with the false promises of these corrupt politicians. Politics has become a business of lies and deceit it is very much normal for these corrupt politicians to claim something big in their public speeches and then divert from it just by saying “it was my political statement”. They say “politics is a worship for us”. What kind of worship is this as they are unfaithful to their own country and the nation. Please stop doing this kind of politics. I believe treason with the nation is the biggest and hideous treason. We demand from the Army to bring improvements in the system of our country. The public wants Judiciary and Army to legislate and give strictest punishments to these corrupt politicians who are plundering our wealth and shifting it to the foreign bank accounts. They must be instantly disqualified from taking part in election looted wealth has to be recovered from them as soon as possible. We must not hurry in election if the system remains same then there is no point of re election because same corrupt politician will return to the assemblies. I have support of the public and I request from the political leaders to repent and start serving the people sincerely, stop lying to the public, fulfill their promises and sort out their problems. Perhaps Allah may forgive you. Perhaps there may be improvements otherwise we can observe that wrath of Allah Almighty is rapidly descending. I hope these leader listen to what we are trying to convey to them. We have tried our best to send our message to Muslim league (N) when they were elected even I myself went to their residences to send message to them in case it does not reach them but their advisors did not let these messages reach to the Mian brothers. The public is antagonistic against them because these rulers are not ready to listen. They call themselves public representatives but not ready to represent them so what to do now but it has been decided now. Millions of their voters are antagonistic now We have sent enough messages but you never paid attention. We have been demanding from Army and chief Justice to eliminate the corruption otherwise wrath of Allah Almighty would will increase rapidly and situation will be more devastating. There will be more serious problems for the big political parties. There will be a revolution and these corrupt and incompetent politician will be hiding themselves from the public. Things have gone beyond our endurance we will not let them continue their dirty corrupt so called politics. Now Mashaikh will represent the public and lead them in the right direction. The Mashaikh have direction connection to Allah Almighty and Prophet (PBUH) so because of the spiritual benevolence they can see things in the right prospective. Mashaikh can get all the intelligence reports spiritually that is why we sent message to save life of General Pervez Musharaf when he was about to be attacked. If Army officers accept the word of theMashaikh they can become world famous heroes. Tanzeem Mashaikh Uzzam Pakistan has been working very hard to send messages and suggestions to the ruling parties and governments but so far they have failed to pay proper attention, none of the political parties can form a government without the support of the Mashaikh Uzzam now.
May Allah bless us with sincere and honest rulers. Those who are corrupt and not willing to repent will be destroyed soon InshAllah! All the other religions organizations, Mashaikh & welfare Organizations have consensus on electing competent and sincere people for the country.
This is a spiritual congregation. Allah Almighty, the Prophets (PBUH) and our beloved Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) like this congregation and mystical reports have arrived to our followers. Therefore people are gather here at one platform. We firmly holding the rope of Allah almighty together. What is Allah’s rope? It means this rope is also the rope of the Prophets, Caliphs, Companions, and Awliya Allah (Sufi Saints). Whichever era you live in if you receive inward and outward spiritual and physical confirmation you hold on to it and do not be divided into sects. Who so ever will hold this rope firmly will never be astray and will be on right path. I have announced one month if anybody wants to confirm the right path and the rope of Allah Almighty they can contact me because millions of people have confirmed mystical and physical benevolence and the true path (rope of Allah) from our Astana Alia (dignified spiritual threshold). More people are turning up fast here. Oh Allah give us the right understanding and strength to truly love Islam and Pakistan and give us the strength to serve the whole mankind. Ameen!
Dewaan Haji Peer Usman Chisti (Sijada Nasheen Baba Fareed ul Deen Shakar Ghanj Pakpattan Shareef) said in this speech:
My dear respected brothers &sisters, Mashaikh Uzzam, scholars &friends from other religions& sects and especially my respected brother His holiness Sufi Masood Ahmad Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar Assalam-o-Alaikum!
His holiness Lasani Sarkar is serving and guiding people by following the footsteps of our ancestors. We all pay a very special tribute to him on his outstanding efforts and services for the whole humanity. I am very glad the way His holiness Lasani Sarkar has embellished and arranged this great congregation because normally such congregation are only being held for the Muslim but this one is for the entire mankind and all the creatures of Allah Almighty. His holiness has gathered people from all the religions, sects and communities at one platform. It is time now to save Pakistan. History is witness as no Prophet or messenger of Allah Almighty was sent to this Subcontinent but our ancestors (Sufi saints and scholars of our religion) came to this pure soil to flourish Islam therefore Islam spread in this region because of Sufi Saints and Scholars. They did not have to kill or raise swords as Islam was spread on the bases of love, peace, harmony and good conduct. Wherever they went people loved and embraced them. Whatever direction these entities looked people started reading Kalimah (accepting Allah as one God and Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) his last and final messenger) so I am very please to observe the same style, good conduct and unity is being repeated here today at this platform by His holiness Sufi Masood Ahmad Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar. I humbly pray Oh Allah help Lasani Sarkar just like you helped Baba Fareed Ghanj Shakar Sarkar. This platform is the Astana Alia (holy threshold) of Lasani Sarkar and we are all under his leadership now.

I am very grateful to His holiness Sufi Masood Ahmad Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar who invited me in this glorious spiritual congregation today. This is such a sacred congregation that leaders from all the religions and other sects are here including famous Mashaikh Uzzam from all over Pakistan.

I believe in all the holy books Torah (revealed to Muses, Zabor (revealed to David), Injil (Gospel revealed to Jesus) and Holy Quran (revealed to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). Holy Quran is a sacred book of Allah Almighty. We have learned to respect all the Prophets (PBUH) from Astana Alia Lasani Sarkar (dignified threshold). Our beloved country Pakistan is going through severe crises at the moment and that is because we have deserted our spiritual belief. Today is an opportunity that we respect our Prophets and those personalities who talk about peace and love. I often visit different countries but some countries watch Pakistan as a terrorist country but Allah Almighty look at Pakistan with love because we have such a great spiritual personality His holiness Sufi Masood Ahmad Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar in Pakistan who is gathering all the religions, sects, scholars and Mashaikh together at one platform.

Bhaya Ram Anjam (Deputy district officer human rights information Raheem Yaar Khan):
He said in this speech, I am very lucky to be here in this program I have been to other political and religious events but never felt like this before. We Hindus are very much devotees of the spiritual personalities and respect them with deep hearts. My dear fellows every religion of this world teaches peace, harmony and brotherhood. Prophet (PBUH) said in his last sermon, Arab has no superiority over a non Arab and a white has no superiority over a black all mankind is from Adam and Eve. And I can observe itin this congregation today he is a peace ambassador and known in the whole world. Humanity is the biggest religion amongst all the religions. Mohammad Ali Jinnah said you are allowed to go to Temples, Churches, Gurudawaras and Mosques. Being a Pakistani I would like to share that when Pakistan came into existence our forefathers voted for Pakistan not for Ghandi jee therefore we will not hesitate to shed last drop of our blood for the security and stability of Pakistan. This our country too it is my birthplace. We can improve our lives from the lesson His holiness Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar has given us today. We need to establish brotherhood amongst us. Lets commit in this congregation of Lasani Sarkar that we are one and Pakistan is not only belongs to Muslims but also belongs to the other religions. Our elders also sacrificed for the Independence of Pakistan.

Mulana Mufti Basharat Ali Madni (Deoband School of thought):
Allah Almighty says in Holy Quran: whosoever shows enmity to my Wali (friend) he takes me his enemy. Whoever gives his hands into the hands of Ahle Haq (true people) he actually gives his hands into my hands. Allah Almighty also says: whoever becomes mine I become his hands, his feet, his whole body. But how is that possible? It can only be possible when we get close to the Awliya Allah (friends of Allah Sufi saints) when we have a direct eye contact with them we receive spiritual benevolence when our hearts connects with them we receive mystic light in our hearts. I pray for His holiness Sufi Masood Ahmad Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar he has arranged such a beautiful congregation here as all the religions and sects are getting benefits from the real teachings of Islam. The teachings of the Sufis especially Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar’s services represents the life of our beloved Prophet (PBUH) therefore love of Allah Almighty and his beloved Prophet (PBUH) is growing in the hearts of the people.
Syed Zakir Hussain Shah (Shia school of thought):
I am very grateful to His holiness Sufi Masood Ahmad Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar he gave me the opperturnity to attend this magnificent congregation . I am privileged to be here today. I used to read adverts of about the programs and events of Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar so I had a wish in my heart to be at his court once. I feel fortunate to be in this spiritual congregation of Lasani Sarkar. His holiness Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar’s teachings and services are same as the teachings of Syedna Imam Hussain (RT). He has gathered every religion and sect at one platform which is a huge achievement in this era and it can only be done by His holiness Sufi Masood Ahmad Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar. I pay a very special tribute to him on his magnificent work. This is the mission of our beloved Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and this is also the mission of the all the Prophets (PBUH), the companions, and the Awlliya (Sufi saints).
Professor Abdul Rauf Bhatta (Deoband school of thought):
The topic of this event is peace and I would like to say that meaning of faith is also peace. So after understand Holy Quran we conclude one thing that Islam is a religion of peace and love. I am very pleased to be in this congregation today as all the religion and sect are sitting alongside Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar. May Allah Almighty bless more progress to the mission of His holiness Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar.
Alama Khalid Mahmood Azam Abadi (Ahl-e-Hadees School of thought):
The way His holiness Sufi Masood Ahmad Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar has arranged this congregation today is exactly Islam teaches us. Today in Pakistan we Ahl-e-Hadees, Deobandi, Brelvi, and Shia are not willing to accept one another while living in a same country. Although our beloved Prophet (PBUH) presented an excellent conduct to eliminate the difference between own and stranger. If help was needed our Prophet (PBUH) always helped the mankindwhether they were Muslim or non Muslim. Islam teaches us to be together. I am very happy to observe that His holiness Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar has gathered not only Muslim but also non Muslim in this congregation and proved to be a sincere Pakistani and a true peacemaker. Services of His holiness Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar for Islam and Pakistan is a whistleof revolution.
