Lucknow: Under the aegis of the All India Mohammadi Mission, the Juloos-e-Mohammadi commenced on schedule from Campbell Road. The procession saw participation from children, youth, and the elderly, moving forward on foot, motorcycles, cars, and horses. As the procession advanced towards Dargah Shamina Shah, it took on a massive form. Participants chanted durood, salam, naat, and raised slogans of “Allah-hu-Akbar,” proceeding peacefully and reaching Dargah Shamina Shah on time.
**History of the Procession**
The Juloos-e-Mohammadi was initiated in 1998 as a symbol of Shia-Sunni unity. It was started by the late Dr. Kalbe Sadiq Sahab, Vice President of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and a prominent Shia cleric, along with the late Qamar Meenai Sahab, the former Sajjadanashin of Dargah Shamina Shah. After Qamar Meenai Sahab’s demise, Arshad Ayub Sahab was appointed as the President of the All India Mohammadi Mission. Since 2001, this procession has been peacefully conducted from Hardoi Road and Campbell Road to Dargah Shamina Shah, adhering to the guidelines of the district administration.
**Specialty of the Procession**
A key feature of the Juloos-e-Mohammadi is the participation of people from all religions, castes, and sects who share a love for the Prophet of Islam. This procession conveys a message of mutual brotherhood and unity.
The Juloos-e-Mohammadi holds not only religious significance but also stands as a symbol of social harmony and peace.
