The Custodian of Ajmer Sharif, Diwan Syed Aaly Habeeb Ali Khan, highlighted the significance of freedom, unity, and national loyalty during a speech at the Ajmeri shrine on the occasion of Pakistan’s Independence Day. Addressing an audience gathered at Dargah Mu’alla Gulshan-e-Sultan-ul-Hind, he emphasized the importance of cherishing Pakistan’s independence, recognizing the sacrifices made by previous generations, and remembering those who continue to fight for their freedom around the world.
In his address, the Custodian described Pakistan’s Independence Day as a moment to reflect on the country’s hard-won freedom—a blessing achieved through the sacrifices, dedicated efforts, and heartfelt prayers of past generations. He spoke of the critical role played by his noble ancestor, Sheikh-ul-Mashaikh Hazrat Diwan Syed Aaly Rasool Ali Khan, who, as Custodian of Ajmer Sharif, united spiritual leaders and scholars from across India in support of the Pakistan independence movement. According to the Custodian, his ancestor set aside personal wealth, position, and even migrated to Pakistan, joining wholeheartedly in the quest to establish a free nation alongside Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the Muslim League.
Diwan Syed Aaly Habeeb Ali Khan drew a powerful comparison between Pakistan’s hard-earned independence and the struggles faced by those in Kashmir and Palestine, who still strive for their freedom. He urged Pakistanis to recognize the true worth of liberty and to remain steadfast in gratitude, making special prayers for those who laid down their lives in the fight for the country’s sovereignty.
Urging citizens to love, serve, and remain loyal to their homeland, the Custodian closed his remarks with prayers for the country’s continued progress and prosperity, expressing hope that Pakistan would remain enduring and that the hardships of its people would be eased.
