I was having chit chat with a cousin and issue was latest occasion of Qurbani. Who has bought what and where they have placed their animals.
Ammi told that Dada has ordered that don’t take meat from newly converted to ahl e Tashee
She told that a Shah lady, who came to visit our phuppi’s house recently said ’ If you people are Wahabi, I’ll not have food in your house’. Phuppi handled the situation by saying ’ We are Sunnis.. Not Wahabis’.
This Wahabi tagline was resounded when our Dadi passed away and we didn’t feed Mulla log with meetha for 10 Jumaraats and didn’t do any Chaleeswan daawat. All due to Dada’s orders :k:
While having these conversation, it was asr time, I asked Cousin where he goes for namaz. He said Peer sahib wali masjid. I normally go to Devbandi masjid, which is at equal distance from our home to that of Peer sahib wali masjid. I do go to pray in peer sahib wali masjid as I don’t have issues with maslak, etc and there are some childhood memories with that masjid and mazar as well. So, I asked cousin lets go to peer sahib wali masjid today.
At the end of the namaz, they started reading ‘La ilaha Illalaah’ in course, which is not a common practice in Devbandi masajid. Though, I’m not used to it, as in Karachi, most of the masjids don’t have this practice, but I thought Allah ka naam hai so I also started reading this , as I have been doing in past. Then came dua stage. After dua, they touched their hands with face (sign of end of dua) and I was standing to find everyone was sitting. This reminded me something, but before I could find out, my chacha said in my ear ‘yahan teen duaen hoti hain’. After third dua, my chacha said loudly (that could have been heard by two rows at least) ‘Hamare haan teen duaen hoti hain… tumhare haan ki tarah ek nahin’ ![]()
That was quite awkward, but I replied in same tone ‘hamare haan ki ik hi bohut hai’ ![]()
So, leaving aside this ‘hamare haan, tumhare haan’, I was thinking where this practice came from? Is it a Sufi tradition which is followed by Barelvi school of thought? or its just an area specific (rural Sindh) thing?
Any thoughts and experience for three duas?
