The Life of the Martyrs and Death

Question

Question: I have a friend who is a staunch disciple of the respected Mawlana Khushhal; we frequently have discussions with each other on various matters. Our practice is that after praying the ‘Isha prayer we go to recite the Fatiha at the shrine of a saintly man, Ibrahim ‘Ali Shah, at Pir Kachehri, Bhopa Stand.
