Urs-e-Razavi

Urs-e-Razvi, also known as Urs-e-Ala Hazrat, is a 3 day long annual event commemorating the death anniversary of Imam Ahmad Raza Khan organized at the Dargah Ala Hazrat. It largely attracts followers of Sufism, where scholars discuss Ahmad Raza Khan's contribution in reforming Sufism in India. In recent times, it has acted as a platform for clerics to guide their followers, which usually involves discussion over Islamic teachings and methodologies. A recent trend has been the discussion of socio-economic issues concerning the subcontinent's Muslims, such as the recent supreme court of India verdict regarding Triple Talaq[1] or raising awareness about the deteriorating socio-economic conditions of the Muslim community.[2]
