On Sunday, Abdul Majeed Hakeem Ilahi, the Iranian envoy and representative of the Supreme Leader of Iran, visited the Sufi shrine of Hazrat Syed Makhdoom Ashraf Jahangir Semnani in Kichhauchha, Ambedkarnagar district, Uttar Pradesh. During his visit, Ilahi expressed the significance of the long-standing relationship between India and Iran, which he noted spans over 5,000 years. He prayed for the destruction of India's enemies, emphasizing that India is a land of peace and brotherhood. The shrine is dedicated to a prominent 14th-century Sufi saint who was born in Semnan, Iran, and later established a spiritual center in India. Ilahi highlighted that the Sufi tradition promotes love, tolerance, and humanity, serving as a unifying force in society. Amid tight security, he visited the Dargah, met with the chief caretaker Syed Mohiuddin Ashraf, and offered a 'chaadar' at the tomb of the saint, reinforcing the cultural and spiritual ties between the two nations.
