ليلة القدر
The content of their prayer, which they call "Zikr-e-Elahi", refers to the worship of God. In addition to the "Hajj", Zikris also visit ("ziyarat") to the "Koh-e-Murad" ("Mountain of Desire" in Balochi), where their Promised Imam al-Mahdi Syed Muhammad Jaunpuri is believed to have stayed and in 1504 AD, he offered two Raka'as (cycles) special thanks giving prayers Dougana Laylat al-Qadr in the midnight of 27th Ramadan 908 Hijri. Following his tradition, including Zikris all Mahdavis offer Dougna Laylathu'l-Qadr prayers on 27th Ramadan midnight every year, under the leadership of their murshid. Thus, Mahdavis are a sect who follow the Sufi order, defined by the medieval saint Syed Muhammad Jaunpuri of the capital city of the Sharqi dynasty. This city was also known as Shiraz of the East, due to its academic and intellectual eminence and the presence of many Islamic scholars in that era.
