Sign of the Times – Terror Attack in Data Darbar, Lahore’s Sufi Shrine
Requiem for the dead.
[Text and pictures by Mayank Austen Soofi]
On the night of July 1, 2010, three suicide bombers struck in quick succession at the Sufi shrine of Data Ganj Baksh, or Data Darbar, in Lahore, Pakistan. 35 people died, 175 were injured. The Delhi Walla considers the courtyard of this dargah as his home. I have spent a night there. May the loved ones of the dead find comfort in Daata Saheb’s love.

Taliban / Wahhabi suicide bombing terrorists you are anti-human, anti-life, anti-love and anti-God. Heaven does not await you, this much I know.
Oh God! I pray to the Almighty that He give strength to the
kith and kin of the departed. May they find repose in Daata Sahib’s compassion…
Heartbraking.
Life is so precious. When we say the words “la ilaha ilAllah” we mean God is the only God, and it is God alone who I worship. Therefore, God alone has the right to call back a human, not another human. No place in heaven for murderers.
