The Urs Mubarak of the 52nd al-Dai al-Mutlaq Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA is a significant event in the Dawoodi Bohra calendar where thousands of community members from around the world converge at Raudat Tahera to celebrate the illustrious legacies of al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA and al- Dai al-Ajal Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA, and recount their profound blessings bestowed upon the community. It serves as a visual testament to the eternal light, or "noor," embodied by their mansoos al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS. In this enchanting painting, titled "Eve of Remembrance," artist Zaenab Bs Imaduddin captures the profound love and devotion that unifies the community during this auspicious occasion.
The focal point of the painting is the dome of the mausoleum on the eve of the urs mubarak, adorned with a mesmerizing display of strings of tiny lights. Set against a backdrop of deep velvety blue, the delicate illumination cascades over the dome, casting a soft glow that lights up the night sky. Each tiny light represents the reverence and unwavering devotion that fills the hearts of the faithful gathered in this sacred space.
