News & Bayan Highlights

With Aqamola Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin tus raza and doa mubarak, Mazoon-e-Dawat, Syedi wa Molai Khuzaima Bhaisaheb Qutbuddin tus arrived in Molai Saab, Dongaon (near Aurangabad), on Thursday, 9 Jumadil Ula 1423h, 18 July 2002, for urus mubarak of Molai Nuruddin Saheb (AQ) and first proceeded to the roza mubaraka for ziarat. Many many mumineen muminaat had already arrived in Dongaon and many were on their way to attend this mubarak occasion.

On Moulatuna Fatema (SA) Shahadat night, there was majlis, in which qasida and marsiyas were recited. Mumineen then got azeem sharaf of seeing video-recording of Aqamola tus bayan mubarak. On Friday morning, 10 Jumadil Ula, there was ghaseel [washing of the qabar] in the roza mubaraka. This was followed by Jumoa namaz of zohor and asar.

On the night of Urus Mubarak, 11 Jumadil Ula, there was urus majlis, in which Quran, Sadaqalla and qasida were recited. Also, a salaam written by Dr. Bazat Tahera baisaheba binte Syedi Mazoon Saheb in shaan of Molai Nuruddin Saheb (AQ) was recited [View Salaam]. Urus majlis was followed immediately by waaz mubarak. Mazoon Mola tus did bayan with ajab andaaz, and it was a noorani manzar as the huge gathering of mumineen muminaat listened with complete attention to the enlightened bayan. Mazoon Mola tus bestowed priceless jewels of ilme-ale-Mohammed, maw-ezat and doa on muminaat muminaat throughout the waaz.

It is impossible to explain the ruhaniyyat and barakat that was felt by everyone as their Ruhani Ma did bayan with ajab shaan. Mazoon-e-Dawat did tilawat of this ayat: "wa man aradal akherata…" [Surat#17, Ayat#19], and translated its meaning: "he who chooses akherat and the eternal life and strives to achieve it, and he is a mumin, then his efforts will be rewarded by Allah." Mazoon Mola tus then interpreted the meaning of this ayat from the bayans of Mawali Tahereen.

Mazoon-e-Dawat tus gave sikhaman on how a mumin should live his life. He said that mumineen are special amongst all human beings, because unlike other people, who live and die, trapped in this physical world, the souls of mumineen attain eternity at the time of death by transcending this world and entering jannat. He emphasized that eternal life can only be achieved by following the guidance of the Fatimi Imams and Fatimi Do'at to all facets of existence. We sleep at night like all other people, but we get up early for namaz. We engage in business like all other people, but at times of namaz, we put this business aside and pray namaz. As the Imam has said, we have to train each part of our body to practice Iman. When someone asked the Imam how the legs can practice Iman, he answered: train your legs to go to the mosque for namaz and majlis. Similarly, each part of the body has specific Imani functions.

Mazoon-e-Dawat tus at length did bayan of how a mumin can acquire the life of eternity while still in this world, by adhering to the laws of shari'at and doing mohabbat of Panjtan, Aimmat, and Doat, especially the mohabbat of Dai-Zaman Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin tus. He emphatically advised mumineen to do halal business, not take interest and not trade in haram things like khamr [alcohol], cigarettes and the like. He said that many many years ago, he had gone to London and a mumin bhai took him to his grocery shop for qadam. He saw that the mumin bhai was selling cigarettes in the shop, so he told the mumin bhai that cigarettes are haram and therefore trade in them is also haram, and that if he stops selling them, he will get more barakat. The mumin bhai replied, "if I stop selling cigarettes here, no one will come into my shop," but Mazoon Mola tus told him, "since you are a mumin, it is forbidden to sell this." After a few years, the same mumin bhai came to Bombay from London and related to Mazoon Mola tus the prosperity he had acquired after he had taken Mazoon Mola's advice and stopped selling cigarettes. He was also able to start a new real-estate business. He had now become a millionaire.

Further, Mazoon-e-Dawat tus quoted the Imam: "if a mumin does not act according to our wishes and the sunnat of the Prophet of Allah - he will not be fulfilling the basic prerequisites of the love he professes for us (the Imams)." Syedna Muayyad (AQ) has said that a mumin's life should be such that each breath becomes a step up forming a ladder by which he ascends closer to jannat. Syedna Muayyad further said that you work so hard to thrive in this world and have great aspirations for living prosperously in a relatively short life. Is it not then wise for you to prepare for the hereafter and aspire to achieve greater honor and darajaat in jannat, where you will live forever?

Syedi Mazoon Saheb tus then did zikar of the recent safar of Aqamola tus to Najaf and Karbala and opening of the Masjid in Kufa where Aqamola tus had performed three sajdas in the mubarak mehrab of Moulana Ali (SA); the first sajda was for himself, the second for Syedna Taher Saifuddin (RA) and the third for mumineen muminaat all around the world. Kufa, Najaf and Karbala were followed by safar to Shaam, Amman, Misr and finally Yemen, where Aqamola tus Milad Mubarak was celebrated. In Yemen, Aqamola tus also laid foundations for Qubba Mubarakas of Syedna Hatim (RA), Syedna Idris (RA) and Syedna Ali Shamsuddin (RA).

Mazoon-e-Dawat tus also did zikar of akhbar of Molai Nuruddin Saheb (AQ) and said that Imam Mustansir (SA) sent three do'at to Hindustan a thousand years ago. He sent Molai Abdullah (AQ) and Molai Ahmed (AQ) to Khambat which is now Gujarat, and Molai Nuruddin (AQ) to Deccan, of which Dongaon is a part. Molai Nuruddin (AQ) spread the Imam's dawat in this area and many people entered into the dawat as a result. This was in preparation for the coming of the do'at mutlaqeen in Hindustan who would take forth the dawat from strength to strength during the satar of the Imam. Mazoon-e-Dawat tus did zikar of Moulatuna Fatema (SA) shahadat with ajab riqqat, followed by the shahadat of Imam Husain (SA). Tears flowed uncontrollably and matam was purjosh.

After waaz, Mazoon Mola tus proceeded towards the roza mubaraka for ziarat and sandal charhawanu. In the morning of 11 Jumadil Ula, there was ziarat at 11 a.m. followed by baithak. Mumineen muminaat gained sharaf of qadambosi.

Syedi Mazoon Saheb tus did wada ziarat on Sunday morning, 12 Jumadil Ula, 21 July and then proceeded to Aurangabad, where mumineen muminaat did istiqbal in their city for the first time ever. Mazoon Mola tus prayed zohor asar namaz in Masjid, after which Maqdam majlis followed. Mazoon Mola tus bestowed countless barakaat during almost 1 and a half hour long bayan. The sermon was all encompassing and inspiring, illuminating for mumineen the straight path Sirat-e-Mustaqeem (If possible, I will add highlights of this mubarak bayan in the future insha'Allah). After bayan, mumineen muminaat of Aurangabad gained sharaf of qadambosi. Maghrib isha namaz was in the masjid at Najam Bagh Qabrastan, after which Mazoon-e-Dawat tus proceeded for ziarat of Mola Wali bhai Shaheed (QR) and Syedi Najamkhan (QR).

Throughout qiyam in Molai Saab and Aurangabad, mumineen got sharaf of ziyafat and khidmat.

Mazoon-e-Dawat tus arrived back in Bombay on Monday, 13 Jumadil Ula, 22 July.

May Allah keep Aqamola Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin tus in perfect health till yaume-qiyamat. May He give Syedi Mazoon Saheb tus a long long life in khidmat of Dai and Dawat. May He keep mumineen muminaat and their children in His hifazat under the saya of Dai and Mazoon. Ameen.
