The milad mubarak of Aqa Mola Syedna Mohammad
Burhanuddin tus on 20th Rabi ul-Aakhar is followed by the
milad of his Mazoon Syedi wa Molai Khuzaima bhaisaheb Qutbuddin
tus on the 29th of the same month, as a continuation of the
Imani joy and celebration of mumineen mukhliseen all over
the world.
In Bombay, Mazoon Mola tus milad was celebrated
with great enthusiasm, happiness, and mohabbat. Mazoon Mola
tus arrived for maghrib isha namaz in Fatemi masjid on milad
night. Mumineen attended in large numbers. The josh of mohabbat
and imaani fervour was apparent when after namaz Mazoon mola
tus made his way into Rozat Tahera, thronged by mumineen who
couldn't wait to see the noorani chehra of their Mazoon and
the heart-warming tabassum as they arazed mubarakbadi. After
ziyarat Mazoon mola tus proceeded to Evan-e-Husaini where
Ghulamane-Husain khidmatguzars had attained sharaf of ziyafat
on this auspicious night.
The ziyafat function began with tilawat of Qurane-majeed,
which was done by Husain bhaisaheb son of Syedi Mazoon Saheb
tus. For about 15 magical minutes all those attending were
mesmerized by the roohani barakaat of Quran and the sweet,
melodious voice of Husain bhaisaheb, who is hafizul-Quran.
Mazoon mola tus then directed Taher bhaisaheb
son of Syedi Mazoon Saheb tus to do bayan of the ma'na, the
meaning of the aayaat of Quran just recited (from surat Furqan
beginning with aayat 61). After hamd and salawat Taher bhaisab
began his bayan: the Quran says, He is most auspicious who
created the heavens and in it celestial bodies, the sun and
the radiant moon. He is the one who brings forth day and night
one after the other, for those who wish to be thankful to
Him. The 'ibaad ur-Rahmaan, the worshippers of the Most Benevolent,
the mumineen, truly, are those who walk the earth with dignity,
who dismiss the houndings of the ignorant with a salam. Syedna
al-Moayyad has said in explaining the meaning of this aayat
that when a dog barks at you, it is not necessary for you
to bark back at him. The 'ibaad ur-Rahmaan are those who pray
to God late into the night with sajda and qiyaam; who ask
God to keep the fire of hell away from them; who, when they
spend, do not waste, nor are they miserly, rather find a healthy
balance between the two; who do not pray to any God other
than Allah taala, the One and Only, do not kill the souls
which God has prohibited, do not embark upon zina or illicit
relations - those who embark upon these sins will be severely
punished manifold. Except those who beg forgiveness, perform
'amal saleh or virtuous deeds, then Allah taala will replace
their sayyeaat with hasanaat, for He is All-forgiving and
Compassionate. But one condition for obtaining forgiveness
is to resolve with true heart never to commit those sinful
acts again.
The 'ibaad ur-Rahmaan are those who never bear
false witness, and those when they see vainful activity, gracefully
pass it by. They do not squander their time on the vainful
lahw la'b of this world. When the aayaat of their God are
recited on them they do not close their eyes and ears to them,
rather, they listen with all their heart, mind and soul. And
they pray: O Almighty God, grant me qurratul-'ain in my family,
my children, for generations to come; and assemble us in the
divine presence of the Imam, in his zumra. Syedna al-Moayyad
says that true qurrat ul-'ain is to see our children grow
up to be mumineen like we are, through generations.
It is these people, says Allah taala, who will
be rewarded the heavenly abode in return for their forbearance,
and will be welcomed therein with tahiyyat and salaam; and
here they will stay, the best of the best of abodes, forever.
Taher bhaisaheb then arazed tehniyyaat to Mazoon
mola tus on behalf of Ghulamane Husain and all mumineen mukhliseen,
and said that may Allah taala deliver tehniyyaat to Aqa Mola
tus, and to Syedna Taher Saifuddin in Jannat al-firdaws.,
and prayed for long life of Aqa Mola Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin
tus and his Mazoon with great fervour. Those present listened
to the bayan with rapt attention and were greatly moved by
it.
After Syedas-shohada, madeh of Tahera baisab,
daughter of Syedi Mazoon Saheb tus was recited, in which she
said that this day, Syedna Taher Saifuddin rejoices in jannat
al-quds, there is happiness in the heart of Syedna Mohammad
Burhanuddin tus, and flowers of joy were blooming among mumineen
mukhliseen. Then madeh of Aziz bhaisab, son of Syedi Mazoon
Saheb tus was recited in which he said that mumineen muhibbo
are saying with their heart, that O Qutbe din mola may you
live for thousands of years. He said that the ikhlaas, taqwa
the sabr and strength of this Mazoon is such that mountains
might sway, but he is strong and steadfast in the khidmat
and ta'at of his Dai' forever.
Then after sharbat and wadhawani rasam, Ghulamane
Husain did araz of najwa of shukr.
Then Mazoon mola tus said doaiyya kalemaat
in short but with great shaan. It is not possible, in all
humility, to recount that here. Nevertheless I include a few
sentences for barakat. Mazoon mola tus said that my wilaadat
[birth] was in the year 1349 hijri, 1940AD. Bawajisaheb did
tarbiyyat with unbounded shafaqat and taught
me to always do khidmat of Dai and Dawat in both favorable
and most difficult of circumstances. Then Syedna Burhanuddin
Aqa raised his adna ghulam to the ala rutba of
Mazoon. May Allah taala give afzalul-jaza to Bawajisaheb
in jannatul-firdaws and keep Burhanuddin Aqa on the
throne of health till qiyamat; and keep me in the taat
and khidmat of my Mola till the last breath. Then Mazoon mola
tus did zikr of Husain Imam shahadat in two sentences, but
with such dard that in every sentence mumineen shed
tears and tears and did purjosh matam.
Then all present got the sharaf of qadambosi,
after which there was fakhir jaman of almost 50 thaal.
On milad day, and the night of the first of
Jamadil-ula, there was maghrib isha namaz followed by majlis
in Fatemi masjid from approximately 8 to 11 p.m. Qasida were
recited, and there was qadambosi of mumineen, muminaat and
children, which lasted for nearly 3 hours. Mumineen attended
in large numbers, and eagerly came forward to do qadambosi
and araz tehniyyaat, flower bouquets, cakes and gifts to their
beloved Mazoon mola tus. After majlis and qadambosi Mazoon
mola tus proceeded to do ziyarat of Syedna Taher Saifuddin
(RA).
May Allah taala keep the saya of our ruhani
bawa Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin tus on us mumineen till qiyamat,
and his Mazoon, our ruhani maa always; and keep us obedient
to our spiritual father and mother, which Syedna al-Moayyad
has said is the way to jannat.
Abde-ali son of Syedi Mazoon Saheb tus
