Al-Sulaymaniyah hosts Kasnazani Celebration
Shafaq News / Hundreds of followers of the Kasnazani order gathered in Al-Sulaymaniyah on Friday to celebrate the Prophet Muhammad's birthday, in accordance with the solar-based "Muhammadi calendar" adopted by the order. Speaking to Shafaq News Agency, Mullah Ahmad Kalari, a member of the Kasnazani Cultural Council, said, 'Hundreds of dervishes and devotees of the Kasnazani order arrived from various countries to attend the central celebration held at the order's headquarters in Iraq.' Kalari explained that the festivities included recitations of the order's spiritual chants and prayers upon the Prophet Muhammad. 'The event will continue until midnight and has drawn diplomatic figures, religious leaders, tribal elders, and representatives of other Sufi orders from several countries,' he added. The Kasnazani order is one of the most prominent Sufi orders in the broader Islamic world. Headquartered in Iraq, it maintains a wide network of followers and spiritual centers across several Arab and international countries. The Kasnazani order (At-Tariqah Al-Aliyyah Al-Qadiriyyah Al-Kasnazaniyyah) follows the Muhammadi calendar, a spiritual solar-based system that differs from the Islamic Hijri calendar. In this calendar, the year begins with the month of "Al-Noor Al-Muhammadi" instead of Muharram, and the Prophet's birth year is marked as year one. The calendar begins two months after the Hijri calendar, placing the Prophet's birth—traditionally in Rabi' al-Awwal, the third Hijri month—as the first month in the Muhammadi system.

World's oldest person, a Brazilian nun, dies aged 116
INA- sources The world's oldest person, Brazilian nun Inah Canabarro Lucas, died Wednesday at the age of 116, having barely survived infancy and attributing her long life to God, her order and two longevity trackers said. The title now passes to Ethel Caterham, a resident of Surrey, England, who is 115 years old, according to the US Gerontological Research Group (GRG) and the LongeviQuest database. Born on June 8, 1908, Canabarro became the world's oldest person following the death in January of Japanese woman Tomiko Itooka, who was also aged 116. READ: World's oldest person dies at 116 in Japan The Congregation of Teresian Sisters of Brazil in Porto Alegre announced Canabarro's passing Wednesday in a statement in which it gave thanks 'for the dedication and devotion' she had shown in life. LongeviQuest, in an obituary, said Canabarro had been a frail child, and 'many doubted she would survive.' She became a nun in 1934 at the age of 26, between World Wars I and II. Canabarro had attributed her longevity to God, saying: 'He is the secret of life. He is the secret of everything,' according to LongeviQuest. Source: The Inquirer
