In the Sadaqallah doa, Syedna TUS referred to Syedna Taher Saifuddin’s unique station and maqam amongst the Du’aat Mutlaqeen, by describing him as Dai whom Imam-uz-zaman SA drew so near that he was ‘but two bow lengths or even nearer’, – referencing the ayat in the Qur’an describing Rasulullah’s nearness to Allah Ta’ala in Me’raj, “he approached and came closer, and it was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or even nearer” (Surat al-Najm: 8).
After Sadaqallah, Darees was recited on the niyyat of Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA.
Qasida composed by Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA “alayka salaamul-laahi daaban mu’abbada” and Dawat-ni-zaban marsiya composed by Syedna Khuzaima Qutbuddin “tasbih karay che Mumineen” in remembrance of Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA were recited.
