What is Urs:

The new to the Sufism who do not know what is Urs is explained here.

 

Word Urs in Sahih Hadith

 

The date of demise of the Friends of Allahعزوجل and Buzurgs is called Urs. Because the angels who question in the grave (Nakeerain) test the deceased and find him to be successful, they say, “Sleep like a bride who will not be awakened by anyone except for the person who is most beloved to her.” Reference : [Mishkaat, Baabu Ithbaatil-Qabr]

 

Because these angels have called them ‘Uroos’ on that date, it therefore becomes the day of ‘Urs’,

 

Another reason is because, on this day, the angels will reveal the beauty and splendor of Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and ask him, “What did you say about this man?” He will reply, “He is the Uroos (adorned personality) of all creation. The entire creation has attained splendor through him.” Meeting the beloved is the day of ‘Urs’, and it is for this reason that the day is called Urs.

 

Celebration of Urs proven from Sahih hadith and Sunnah of Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم)

 

Let me quote the arabic hadiths again From tafseer ibn e khateer ,فيدخل فيسلم ثم ينصرف، رواه ابن جرير. ورواه ابن أبي حاتم من حديث إسماعيل بن عياش، عن أرطاة بن المنذر عن أبي الحجاج يوسف الألهاني قال: سمعت أبا أمامة، فذكر نحوه. وقد جاء في الحديث أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يزور قبور الشهداء في رأس كل حول، فيقول لهم: { سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْكُم بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَىٰ ٱلدَّارِ } وكذلك أبو بكر وعمر وعثمان

 

Translation : The Prophet Muhammad (sa.) used to go to the graves of the martyrs of Uhd once a year and also recite the verse of the Holy Qur’an on excellence of patience. The Prophet Muhammad (sa.) used to pray for them. When the beloved Prophet Muhammad (sa.) passed away himself, the Khalifs, Abu-Bakr (ra), Umar ra(), Usman (ra) and Ali (Karramallahu Wazhu) used to do the same thing.
