That Saturday was also the birthday of Bishwa Wali’s own spiritual leader, the renowned Wali-e-Kamel, Hazrat Shah Sufi Khwaja Enayetpuri (q.s.a.) Shaheb.
On that historic night of Zaker Party’s birth, peaceful men, women, youth and children came from all over the country by bus, truck, private car, launch, trawler and other vehicles. All of them, in their excited passion, came together at Zaker Manjil. The prevalent extraordinary atmosphere could only be felt by heart. On that blessed night of divine peace and happiness, Bishwa Wali Hazrat Shah Sufi Khwaja-baba Faridpuri (q.s.a.) Keblajan Shaheb gave an enduring speech on our nation, its progress, prosperity and the sumptuous future of our country, how the eternal beauty of true Islam can enrich world civilization, and on the historic inevitability of Zaker Party’s birth for universal peace and welfare.
