    Ya Ali Madad!

    Thank you so much for sending to me this Forward. The old memories come my mind watching the Pictures of Our Mawla Bapa, Imam Sultan Mohamed Shah (Peace Be Upon Him). It makes me feel sad that He is no longer with us physically, but the NOOR of Hazrat Ali is ever present on earth through his successor, Mawlana Shah Karim.

    Kind regards and Ya Ali Madad!

    Very sincerely yours,
    Farouk Datoo
