Farrah Ilyas, Rabia Bosan, Mamoona Qasim, Qasim Khwaja, Basit Bosan and Mr. Shoaib Bosan
You need to be ready for something larger than life, when attending any event conducted by Khwajas of Multan. Even if you are informed, it is a small gathering, be prepared to face atleast a hundred people. Double, triple the number, if by any means, it has something to do with Rabia Bosan. Now you would say, she is a Bosan and we are talking about Khwajas here. For your information, she is Khwaja by birth. Farah Ilyas and Rabia, both of the grandmas of the twins, 'Muhammad Ameer Hamza and Muhammad Qadir, 'the sufi night' was organied to celebrate birthday and aqeeqa of, are real sisters and Khwajas. Gone are the days of boring grandmas with white hair and roseries in their hands, sitting on prayer mats. City of saints, now boasts of beautiful grandmas like these. Who, not only dress up and look good, but also provide others its opportunity, by throwing great functions and parties.
The 'sufi night' was arranged in marquees at MGM (services club Multan) on the eve of 30th April. Mamoona Qasim, when hiring professional decoration services, made sure that ambiance must appear truly regal. Every nook and corner had something unique to compliment the theme. The sitting was divided into two separate areas for ladies and gentlemen. The one for ladies had a beautiful set-up of a royal nursery, fit for a baby king. Enormous Golden vases filled with flowers, aristocratic furniture, screens, mirrors and a pair of lifesize toy horses. Complete with a royal crown cake. Whereas, in men's area, tents with domes and minarets were erected, to remind people of origin of sufi-ism. Stage was on the same side was adorned with similar kind of objects. Chandeliers throughout the area enhanced the splendour of things. Green, Gold and Blue colours were dominant. In addition to all this, attendants and servers were dressed in traditional costumes and attires, with Arabic metal pots and pans, serving soft drinks, juices and water, distributing the giveaways to everybody.
No ordinary qawal, but Asif Ali Khan Santoo with his companions was invited to deliver. There was a Sufi dance performance by a group of students. There was a continous flow of hamds and naats before everything, with recitation of the holy Quran. The chief guests were honorable Pirs of Golra Sharif. All the renowned and notable people of Multan spared their time to be at this gathering. Mr. Qasim Khwaja with his father Mr. Ilyas Khwaja, father-in-law Mr. Shoaib Bosan and brother-in-law Bassat Bosan, displayed great spirit of hospitality. Personally welcomed all the gentlemen and made sure, their guests are entertained well.
All the ladies of Khawaja family are the sweetest people on Earth. They are born hostesses, you will find their courtesy and hospitality to people, even unknown to them. Rabia Bosan, Farah Ilyas and Mamoona Khwaja did display their sweet and kind, hospitable nature. Personally reached out and attended all their female guests, which was not less than a Herculean task. At the end of everything, a scrumptious dinner was served, which reminded people of weddings. It was, for sure an affair, as formal, as a wedding.
Here we would like to add a little piece of information about Mamoona Qasim. She is former student of Beaconhouse and of Multan college of fashion design. She has great designing skills and has recently launched a designer brand by the name of 'Tiraz by Mamoona and Bushra', which is not only stocked at FPL but also has a display in Gulgasht, Multan's own fashion district. She is lucky to have a supporting husband, who despite being from a big industrial family supports his wife's flair for creativity and business.
Lots of prayers and best wishes for the twins, their parents, grand parents and entire family. May God bless them with successful, happy, long lives and provide them many opportunities to witness such blessed festivities.
