Renowned Islamic scholar and Rector of Darul Uloom Taj-ul-Masajid, Bhopal Peer Maulana Mohammed Saeed Mujaddidi who breathed his last on Sunday was laid to rest on Monday.
About two lakh people including Muslims and large number of Hindus cutting aside boundaries of religion bid tearful farewell to their respected religious scholar.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan paid tribute to the Islamic scholar of Bhopal Peer Saeed Miyan by visiting his house in the morning and condoled the bereaved family.
Bhopal mayor Alok Sharma accompanied the Chief Minister on the occasion. Other leaders who joined the last journey of Peer Sahab include BJP MlA Surendranath Singh, Congress MlA Arif Aqueel, senior Congress leaders Suresh Pachouri, PC Sharma, Deepchand Yadav, Arif Masood, Syed Sajid Ali and others.
The last journey of Peer Saeed Miyan started from his residence at Peergate at about 9 am and it took over two hours to reach lal Parade Ground where his Namaz e Janaza (final prayers) was solemnized and after that he was laid to rest in his family graveyard just opposite to lal Parade ground and adjacent to police petrol pump.
All India Muslim Personal law Board president Maulana Rabe Hasan Nadvi, general secretary Maulana Wali Rahmani and other office bearers have expressed profound grief over the demise of Peer Sahab.
Special prayers were also held for Peer Saaed Miyan across all the Khankha’s of the country including Chishtiya Khankhah. Peer Saaed miyan sa’ab, as he was affectionately called, was a well-known personality in the Islamic world. Referred and respected by all communities, he followed the traditions of his ancestors. He led a simple life focusing on religious and spiritual aspect of Islam, a hallmark of the Mujjadidi family that came to Bhopal in 1818.
The Khanqah Shareef Mujaddidi family has thanked everybody for keeping peace and standing with it at time of sorrow. The family has especially thanked the district and police administration for the arrangements during the last journey of Peer Sahab.
