🖋 The engraving of Surah Ikhlas
This is the blessed lock on which Surah Ikhlas is engraved, the Surah that declares the pure monotheism and establishes the oneness of Allah Almighty in the hearts. These verses are not just engravings on metal, but are such a testimony of faith, certainty and love of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that shakes the soul even after centuries. Sincerity is reflected in every word, devotion speaks in every engraving, and unparalleled love for the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is evident in every line.
This holy lock belongs to the blessed era of 126 to 131 AH, when Sultan Mustafa I bin Sultan Muhammad was on the throne of the Ottoman Caliphate. The Sultan had this lock prepared under the spirit of love, courtesy and humble servitude of the Lord of the Two Worlds (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so that the sanctity, greatness and sanctity of the Holy Prophet’s (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) shrine would always be maintained and maintained.
🔑 Lock — A symbol of monotheism and love
The external eye considers it a lock, but the people of the heart know that it is a bright symbol of faith and love. The picture shows that this lock is made of a strong, durable and dignified metal like brass or bronze, a metal that withstands the effects of time but does not lose its originality. Just like the message of Surah Ikhlas and the love of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), which has been alive, bright and radiant in every era.
🕌 About the Holy Shrine
This blessed lock remained installed at the Holy Shrine of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for a long time, where at every moment the eyes of the pilgrims would bow in respect, the hearts would be immersed in blessings and greetings, and the soul would find peace in the atmosphere of Medina. This lock silently remained the trustee of the tears, prayers and greetings that the lovers of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) offered at this sacred door.
🕊 A Sacred Trust
This blessed lock was kept safe in the Hejaz Museum, Madinah for some time, where the visitors used to gaze at it with devotion and love. Later, this sacred blessing was given as a gift by the Saudi government to the spiritual healer Pir Usman Sahib, so that this trust of love would be preserved and passed on to the people of the heart.
Today, this blessed lock is available for pilgrimage at the Tabrakat Museum, Qaimpur, Bahawalpur District, where lovers of the Prophet ﷺ from far and wide visit it and enlighten their hearts with the love, oneness and sincerity of the Holy Prophet ﷺ.
🌸 Closing Words
This lock was not meant to close doors, but rather to connect hearts with the oneness of Allah Almighty and the love of the Holy Prophet ﷺ. Every sultan of the world, when he appears at the door of the Sultan of Madinah ﷺ, forgets his kingdom and becomes just a humble slave and greets him politely.
May Allah Almighty grant us the sincerity of Surah Al-Ikhlas, the true love of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the respect of these sacred lineages.
May Allah bless Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and all his companions. 🌹
