This poster showcases the sacred Islamic phrases:
"Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim" (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)
"La ilaha illallah, Muhammad ur-Rasul ullah" (There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah) (written in Arabic)
The words "Allah" and "Muhammad" appear in bold.
At the center, the Shrine of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Rahimahullah) in Baghdad Shareef is depicted, with its name inscribed on the image of the tomb.
At the bottom inset, a Quranic verse is displayed:
"Ala inna awliyaa Allahi la khawfun alayhim wala hum yahzanoon"
"Indeed, the friends of Allah will have no fear, nor will they grieve." (Quran 10:62)
The image is further adorned with photographs of two revered Sufi shrines:
On the right: The shrine of 'Alauddin Sabir at Kaliyar (present-day Uttarakhand, India)
On the left: The shrine of Data Ganj Bakhsh at Lahore (now Pakistan)
This composition visually represents the spiritual legacy of these great Sufi saints, emphasizing their connection to divine love and guidance.
