Vancouver, BC — The Sufi Meditation Center joyously celebrated its 12th Annual Grand Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ at the Riverside Banquet Hall, drawing an overwhelming gathering of nearly 900 attendees in honor of the birth of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The evening unfolded with profound love, reverence, and devotion, uniting men, women, children, and elders under the banner of the Muhammadan light.

A Spirit-Filled Opening
The event commenced with the entry of Beloved Sayyadi Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (ق), greeted with a moving parade of attendees. The atmosphere was electric as all present joined in singing Ṭalʿa al-Badru ʿAlaynā and Min Sanī ʿĀt al-Wadāʿ. Children playing the traditional Duff captivated hearts, creating a spiritually uplifting aura that set the tone for the night.
Following this emotional opening, the congregation observed Maghrib Salah in unity.

Overflowing Gathering of Love
The Riverside Banquet Hall was filled beyond measure with ʿĀshiqīn (lovers of the Prophet ﷺ), their hearts echoing with devotion. The program included:
• Recitation of the Holy Qur’an al-Karīm
• Arabic and Urdu Naats and Nasheeds, beautifully delivered by passionate reciters
• An atmosphere of reverence that strengthened the bond of love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

Lecture of Love and Khidmat
The highlight of the night was the soul-enriching lecture by Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (ق). In his address, he emphasized the importance of true love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and the necessity of living a life of service (khidmat), where faith manifests in action.
Mawlana Shaykh (ق) also made a groundbreaking announcement regarding the work of Mystic Records, revealing the production of English-language Nasheeds across diverse music genres — including Reggae, Country, R&B, Pop, Latin, and Modern Rock. This initiative is aimed at attracting Western audiences to the love and teachings of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
Launched in Ramadan, Mystic Records has already produced nearly 100 tracks, collectively viewed by millions worldwide. Many listeners had never before been exposed to the profound realities of Muhammadan Haqaiq, making this project a historic bridge of spiritual outreach.
Most notably, the project is already making waves in Jamaica, where people have started listening to and talking about the Reggae Nasheeds sung by celebrity Jamaican Reggae artist Bilal Reggae. His powerful voice and spiritual expression are resonating with the Jamaican public, creating a cultural bridge of love that spreads the message of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ to new audiences.

Exhibition of Sacred Relics
One of the most spiritually moving moments was the exhibition of holy relics. Attendees were blessed to witness and honor:
• The sacred hair of the Beloved Prophet ﷺ
• Kiswa (cover) of Roza e Nabi ﷺ
• Kiswa of the Holy Kaʿbah
• A turban cloth piece of Sayyidina Imam Hussain (AS)
Adding to the night’s uniqueness, Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan (ق) shared with attendees a special and rare ʿAttar (fragrance) — used within the blessed Roza e Shareef — which had been gifted to him by Shaykh Noori, custodian of the holy chamber, during his Umrah journey years prior. The fragrance enveloped the hall, leaving attendees deeply touched.

Community Recognition and Conclusion

Finally, a scrumptious dinner and desserts were served, concluding the night on a note of joy and fulfillment. Attendees departed with their hearts uplifted, carrying with them the spiritual fragrance of love, unity, and devotion to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
