Surat has witnessed Never-Before-Seen floods in the history of the city. The floods has created a disaster and mass destruction of human lives and properties. For four days, pepole of Surat were stranded without food, electricity, water, telephones, mobile network etc. After the flood water receded, the city was turned into a garbage zone. Apart from the garbage, people witnessed horrifying scenes of floating dead bodies which had swept with the flood waters. For the relatives of the people who died a natural death for any other reason, had to keep the dead bodies of their relatives at their homes for four days, as there were no provisions for burial or cremation.

As per the farmaan of Aqa Maula TUS, mumineen themselves cleaned their mohallas not awaiting the governement help. Abnaul Jamea and Asateza themselves participated in cleaning the devdi mubarak and its adjecent streets like Khadi, Jamea Saifiyah Road etc.

During the floods, Mumineen recited Doa al Joshan and Azaan. Also mumineen called upon the wasila of Aqa Maula TUS and Nazrul Maqaam AS. All this was done as per the irshaad muneer of Aqa Maula (TUS), who was a great source of courage and inspiration to the mumineen.

After the flood water started receding, provision was made my Aqa Maula TUS for distribution of Food, Water, Milk, Medicines and other requirements under the observation of Husain BS Saifuddin Saheb and Taha BS Saifuddin Saheb. A Mawaid and a medical camp has been set up at the Cotton Mill compound (Khaimat ur Riyazat) to provide food and medicine to the mumineen.

I would like to inform all the mumineen world wide, that during the floods..
1) Aqa Maula TUS provided us with food, before we were hungry.
2) Aqa Maula TUS quenched our thirst with milk and fresh water even before we asked for it..
3) Aqa Maula TUS provided us with medicines and other medical help so that we do not fall ill..

May Allah bestow Burhanuddin Aqa TUS, our mushfiq bawa, a long long life in sehat. Ameen.
