After ‘Isha Salah, Sayyiduna Laal Shahbaz Qalander رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه conducted a religious gathering containing Zikr and Na’at and the people in the gathering made the Zikr of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and recited Salat and Salam on the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in abundance. (Shan-e-Qalander, pp. 311; summarized)

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!

Some unwise people مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه عَـزَّوَجَـلَّ arrange the gatherings of songs and music on this occasion of joy and become shameless; in such gatherings boys and unveiling girls sing songs and dance the whole night and in this environment of men and unveiling women fill their eyes with Haraam by gazing unlawfully, not realizing that this is not a human act, but it is an act of Satan to look at a non-Mahram woman.
