• Says his teachings uphold justice and dignity for all, muslims and non-muslims alike

SRINAGAR: Addressing a seminar on the life and legacy of Amīr-e-Kabīr Mir Syed Ali Hamadani (RA) at Darul Uloom Qasmia, Lal Bazaar, Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr. Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq highlighted the enduring influence of the saint-scholar on Islam, culture, and civilization in Kashmir.

Mirwaiz said Shah-e-Hamadan not only brought Islam’s message to Kashmir with wisdom and compassion but also transformed its moral and social life through education, reform, and promotion of crafts and livelihoods. “He was a spiritual guide and social reformer whose teachings remain timeless,” he remarked.

Referring to Shah-e-Hamadan’s masterpiece Dhakirat-ul-Mulūk, Mirwaiz said he was honoured that his doctoral research was devoted to this text, calling it “a guide not just for rulers but for all entrusted with responsibility.” The book, he noted, outlines enduring principles of justice, compassion, and good governance from the Qur’an and Sunnah “a moral compass for public life even today.

”Mirwaiz added that Shah-e-Hamadan’s Sufi vision united governance with inner reform, teaching that “no rule stands without justice, and no justice without purity of heart.” He further noted the saint’s inclusive outlook, stressing that Dhakirat-ul-Mulūk upholds the dignity and rights of non-Muslims and ensures their freedom of belief and worship ,reflecting Islam’s true spirit of mercy and fairness.Concluding, Mirwaiz said Shah-e-Hamadan’s message — rooted in faith, knowledge, ethics, and divine love (ishq-e-ilahi) continues to offer a path toward a just and compassionate society.
