SRINAGAR: Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir, Dr. Moulvi Mohammad Umar Farooq, paid glowing tributes to Sheikh-ul-Alam Hazrat Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Noorani (RA) on the occasion of his Urs, recalling his timeless message of Tawheed (oneness of Allah), compassion, simplicity, and service to humanity.
Mirwaiz said that the revered saint, through his deep spiritual insight and poetic wisdom, brought Qurāanic guidance to the people in their own Kashmiri language, making the message of Islam accessible to all and nurturing a culture of God-consciousness, self-purification (islah-e-nafs), tolerance, and mutual respect among communities.
āHazrat Nund Rishi (RA) taught us that dignity stems not from lineage but from righteousness; that true reformation begins with the purification of the self and is perfected through service to humanity,ā Mirwaiz observed, adding that the Saintās Immortal Shrukh (verses) continue to illuminate Kashmiri hearts and homes to this day.
Mirwaiz further announced that, InshaāAllah, he will deliver a special sermon at Charar-e-Sharief on Friday, October 24, 2025, where he will reflect on Sheikh-ul-Alamās universal teachings of unity, moral renewal, and their enduring relevance to contemporary society.
In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family
I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory Ā· Dr. Priya Ranjan
When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.
Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soulāhumble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.
For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
