In 1985, 44th Da’i e Mutlaq Saiyedna Taiyeb Ziyauddin Saheb (ra) laid the foundation of Gulistaan Apartments in after which Mumineen started purchasing plots and flats at Ajwa Road. Mumineen gradually started settling at Ajwa Road because of Masjid, Madrasah and Jamaa’at-khaana and now there are almost 2300 mumineen residing there on both sides of the road. Along with the residential requirements, need of Manufacturing Units also rose which gave boost to businesses in nearby areas and mumineen preferred starting their manufacturing ventures in Sardar Industrial Estate. At that time, mumineen were mainly indulged in the Optical and Tin industries which saw several ups and downs in the recent times forcing them to opt for ventures in new fields.

al-Maulaa al-Muqaddas Saiyedna Taiyeb Ziyauddin Saheb (ra) used to do Padhraamni-visit in the factories of mumineen during the time of Diwali which, then, marked beginning of the new financial year. Following his footsteps last week between 16-20 March 2017, 18-22 Jumaadi ul-Ukhraa 1438,  on Thursday, Saturday and Monday, Aqaa Maulaa visited 59 factories and manufacturing units of Sardar Industrial Estate doing production in varied and monopoly items.  Mumineen were very enthusiastic and energetic in explaining each and every aspect of manufacturing process in their factories.  Aqaa Maulaa personally roamed around the machines while workers were showing the stages through which raw material passes to get finished product.  Aqaa Maulaa  did the Khusoosi Du’aa for Barakat and blessed the mumineen with Ta’weez of Kifaayat.

All these 3 days right from 9:30 am till 1:30 pm mumineen waited eagerly for their turn as they for the first time experienced spiritual touch in their work place. Aqaa Maulaa said that,

Aqaa Maulaa visited all types of factories be it smallest and cramped10x10 feet small unit or 100x100 feet huge work-shops.  Factories manufacturing various items included, Tin, Electroplating, Powder coating, Furniture, Flex, Metal works, Saddle works, Rubber Balloon, Plastic granules and recycling, Mesh and Gasket, Charna, Optical frames, Paper Boxes, Tin Boxes, Corrugated Drums, Heavy Machinery, Teflon works, Drum painting, Glass works, Paint tins etc.

Goals:

1. To make association of factory owners and help those who plan to establish such units on small scale.
2. To recruit skilled as well as unskilled workers from mumineen as per the requirement.
3. To make young students studying SSC or above visit these factories and make them aware of manufacturing line and its development.
4. To keep data of munineen working in these units and how can they train others and give opportunities in their respective field.
5. To provide light work to muminaat who can do it in their houses and earn respectfully.
