Rejuvenation - Part 2

QASIDA & DOA IN TRANSLATION:
‘Ya Sayyidash-shuhadaai’
SIJILL A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER OF FATEMIDAWAT.COM
The ayat of the Quran, quoted above,
describes the tragedy of Imam Husain
in Karbala and asks: would you not
want that such tragedy never befell
you and your loved ones (See article
in Sijill 38 on this ayat).
The first ten days of Muharram (Ashara
Mubaraka) commemorate the
unparalleled sacrifice and commitment
that Imam Husain SA, the grandson of
the prophet Mohammad SA, and his
family and close companions
numbering 72, demonstrated on the
plains of Karbala. They died fighting
against the oppression, the injustice,
the fear, and the persecution
perpetrated by the rulers of the time.
They reached Karbala on the 2nd Day
of Muharram, held out for ten days and
were finally brutally massacred on the
tenth day of Muharram – known as
Ashura in the year 61 Hijri (680 AD).
Through our Hudaat Kiraam’s tradition
of narrating the events of Karbala, we
relive those fateful days in which Imam
Husain was martyred, and in our
limited capacity, relate to that ultimate
sacrifice for the sake of Truth. (Click
here to read the first part of the article,
Remembrance & Reflection – The
purpose of Muharram Part 1 of 2)
Rejuvenation – The purpose of
Muharram Part 2 of 2
Our Hudaat Kiraam saw the beginning
of the new year as an opportunity to
remember Imam Husain SA and impart
the knowledge, guidance and wise
counsel of Aale Muhammad, thereby
rejuvenating us spiritually for the year
that is to come. The sermons give
mumineen an enhanced sense of
purpose and direction to work toward
both spiritual and temporal betterment.
This guidance also encourages us to be
good human beings and to uphold the
universal values of good character. It
also encourages us to get the best
possible education for our children and
apply ourselves fully to our careers,
Issue 88
indeed to strive for success in all our
endeavors so that we may contribute
fully to our community, society at large
and to the nation.
Sharing such deep sentiments of
sacrifice, spirituality and faith on such a
significant and auspicious occasion
brings the community closer together.
The remembrance of Imam Husain SA
in the light of the teachings of our
Hudaat Kiraam enables us to reflect
and to reassess our priorities. It gives
us the courage to face life’s challenges
and the strength to persevere.
As the successor of the 52nd Dai and
inheritor of his legacy and the legacy of
all the Dais before him, the 53rd Dai
Syedna Khuzaima Qutbuddin TUS
similarly encourages his followers to
garner the barakaat and blessings of
Ashara. Syedna’s bayaan and waaz is a
continuation of this legacy of
remembrance, reflection and
rejuvenation. Even in these difficult
times, mumineen are able to partake
these barakaat no matter where they
are (link to live broadcast).
May Allah Ta’ala grant Syedna
Qutbuddin the longest life to continue
to guide us and may He give us
the tawfeeq and inspiration to partake
the barakaat of Ashara Mubaraka with
Him. May Allah Ta’ala grant us the
strength to follow the example of the
72 shuhadaa’ of Karbala and stand firm
with the Syedna Qutbuddin TUS, the
Dai of Imam Husain SA. That is the true
remembrance of Imam Husain SA.

1, 2, 3
Syedna Khuzaima Qutbuddintus
performs Ashara Mubaraka 1437H
wa’az on Takht-e-Imami in Darus
Sakina, Mumbai with greatshaan,
bestowing pearls of divine wisdom
and ma’refat, and delivering deeply
meaningful orations about faith in
Allah, and our leaders in faith, the
Panjetan Paak, Imams, and Dais. In
each waaz, Molana gives guidance for
this world and the next, raising high
the stations of all mumineen who have
the high fortune to behold his radiant
visage and hear his luminous sermons.
At the heart of every waaz is Syedna’s
heartrending narration of the
martyrdom of Imam HusainSA. Also in
every waaz, Syedna bestows pearls of
dua for mumineen gathered here as
well as mumineen everywhere in the
world. Waaz is held in the afternoon,
followed by maghrib-isha namaaz.
After namaaz, while Syedna is in
the qibla, poignant marsiyas are recited
and mumineen perform purjosh maatam. Each day’s program ends
with Imam Husain niyaaz jaman.
In the first waaz, Maulana Qutbuddin
TUS recited the opening praise-of-God
formula ofhamd from the Majalis of
Syedna Muayyad Shirazi RA, and
expounded upon our Awliya-ullah’s
strong faith and mumineen
mukhliseen’s fortitude and service.
Keep faith with your principles, Syedna
said, and your purpose in life will
become crystal clear. Syedna
Qutbuddin recited the following report
of glad tidings: Maula Ali SA said to his
Shia: “Rasulullah SA passed away
pleased with you, for you have pledged
allegiance to his Wasi.” Explaining a
deep chapter of prayer, he recited
Rasulullah’s hadith that those who
await the prayer are already in prayer:
when one Imam passes away, another
SIJILL A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER OF FATEMIDAWAT.COM
takes his place, and just as mumineen
had given misaaq to the previous Imam,
they directly give bay’at to the new
Imam. Those who pledge allegiance
first, obtain first precedence in
paradise. The same is true for Dais.
When the 52nd Dai Syedna
Mohammed Burhanuddin RA passed
away, mumineen mukhliseen
immediately gave misaaq to his
successor the 53rd Dai Syedna
Khuzaima Qutbuddin.
Syedna explicated the meaning
of sajda: The Quran says the angels
offered sajda to Adam nabi. Iblis
refused and Allah banished him from
heaven. The spiritual counterpart
of sajda is the Imam.
Husain’ssajda signified that there
would be an Imam in his line, son after
father, till the last day, who would
guide the people on the path of truth.
Husain’s supplication (dua) signified
that in the Imam’s concealment, his
Dai would establish his Dawat and
guide mumineen. With Ta’eed-e Imami,
Syedna explicated that the numerical
value of the Arabic word sajda is 72.
Husain, in his sajda, prayed for the 72
martyrs who gave their lives for him.
Molana recited touching shahadat of
the martyrs of Karbala, Muslim bin
Usaja among Husain’s companions,
and Abbas-e-Alamdar among his Ahle
Bayt. In his dua,Husain remembered all
mumineen; it is because of his dua that
we are mumineen (believers), and God
willing our children, and our children’s
children, will also be mumineen.
In the second waaz, Syedna’s
discourse focused on Nooh nabi and his
Ark (safina). He recited Rasulullah’s
hadith, “My family are like Noah’s
Ark— those who climb aboard are
saved, those who waver are drowned.”
Rasulullah is this epoch’s Noah, and his
Wasi Ali is the Safina. Each Imam in his
age, and each Dai in the Imam’s
concealment, is the Safina. Those who
Issue 88
pledge allegiance to him and accept his
guidance toward Allah are saved from
the Sea of Corporeality, Bahr-e-hayula.
Molana also recited Rasulullah’s hadith
from Syedna Hatim’s kitaab,
“Whosoever is given the rozi of
Ali’s walayat obtains khayrin this world
and the next. Whosoever loves Ali
has—or should aspire to have—20
qualities, 10 in this world, 10 in the
next.” Syedna explained in detail the
first two of these qualities: (1)
renunciation of worldliness (zuhd)
while giving priority to the hereafter,
and (2) longing for knowledge (ilm),
particularly Dawat knowledge.
In the shahadat bayaan, Syedna
exhorted mumineen to remember
Husain Imam’s thirst, and the thirst of
his children, especially Maulana Ali
Asghar.
In the third waaz, Syedna continued
Rasulullah’s wise counsel (maw’izat),
explaining in detail the next two
qualities that Ali’s shia must have: (3)
piety (wara’), and (4) worship (‘ibadat,
bandagi). He placed great emphasis on
good deeds, saying we are Muslims
and each of us must pray the five
mandatory daily prayers, no matter
where we are, or what we may be
doing. He quoted Syedna Taher
Saifuddin RA’s pithy words exhorting
an attitude of enthusiasm and vigor:
“You should not say, ‘I am made to do
this’ (aa karwu parey chhe), rather, you
should say, ‘I should be doing this and a
lot more besides’ (ghanu karwu joiye).”
In a lofty bayan of haqiqatand hikmat,
Syedna explained the meaning of Nabi
Ibrahim’s name, which encompasses
the barakat of the celestial beings, and
signifies the continuation of imams in
his line till the last day. Syedna ended
the waaz with doa for all mumineen,
and rendered a touching narration of
the shahadat of Ali Asghar.
NEWS & EVENTS: Highlights of
Shehzada Taher bhaisaheb Ashara
Waaz 1 & 2
Shz. Taher Bhaisaheb performed waaz
on the night of 2nd Moharram ul
haraam in Silicon Valley. He started
the waaz by explaining that mumineen
have gathered in the majlis for the
pursuit of knowledge and in
enthusiasm to increase their darajaat in
heaven. The Quraan states that, “Allah
will exalt those who are given
knowledge.” Although atheists
describe religion as a ‘purposeful
suspension of critical thinking’, our
prophet Rasulullah made it mandatory
to attain knowledge and take out time
to purposefully improve our critical
thinking skills. Shezada Taher
bhaisaheb discussed Moulana Ali’s
kalaam stating that all things have a
peak, and the peak of Islam is Shia. All
things have a foundation, and the
foundation of Islam is Shia. All things
have an honor, and the honor of Islam
is Shia. And finally, the leader of all
majalis is the majlis of Shia. Because of
Shia, there is rizq and honor for
everyone else. He further stated that
mumineen have gathered in Husain
SIJILL A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER OF FATEMIDAWAT.COM
Imam’s majlis, in which the angels have
also gathered. They collect the tears of
mumineen and treasure them for our
life hereafter. Shz Taher bhaisaheb
also explained that tawheed is
accepted only with the obedience of
haq na saheb. Without obedience there
is no tawheed and without tawheed
there is no ibadat. He explained that
we should thank Allah that we
mumineen have the nemat of belief in
the true representative of our Imam,
Syedna Khuzaima Qutbuddin TUS to
guide us towards the understanding of
true tawheed. Shz Taher Bhaisaheb
ended the waaz with the shahadat of
Imam Husain.
On the night of 3rd Moharram ul
haraamShehzada Taher bhaisab did
bayan on the meaning of walayat,
mohabbat. He explained that the
mohabbat of panjetan has been made
mandatory in the Quraan.
The ayat, addressed to Rasulullah,
states: “Say, that I do not ask anything
from you, except that you do
mohabbat of my kin.” When asked
what was meant by “kin,” Rasulullah
replied that it meant Ali, Fatema, and
their progeny. On the day of Ghadeer e
Khum, an Ayat came upon Rasulullah
stating that, “if you do not deliver this
risaalat (of walaayat, mohabbat), it will
be as if you have not delivered
anything else.” Shezada Taher bhaisab
strengthened mumineen’s conviction
by relating the difficulties and storms
faced by Nooh Nabi during which
Issue 88
people kept losing trust in Allah, and
finally only 80 people remained with
Nooh. And only those 80 who
remained on safinatun-najaat, the ship
of salvation, were saved. Families were
lost - Nooh Nabi’s own son was lost.
When pleading to Allah for his life,
Allah Subhanahu revealed an ayat, “He
is not from your family.” Shz Taher
bhaisaheb also explained that Quran
Majeed states that on the Day of
Judgement, no intercessor nor any
friend will come to your rescue - Your
own actions and your love for panjetan,
aimaat and duat is what will save you.
Shz Taher Bhaisaheb explained that
when coming aboard the Safeena, we
should come with peace and conviction,
regardless of the waves of distress that
surround us and we should remember
Maula Ali’s kalaam that, “even after
death my conviction will not be any
greater.” Shz Taher bhaisab said that
Allah has made this world a house of
hardship for awliyaullah. Husain
steered this ship towards jannat whilst
surrounded by enemies, praying to
Allah. He supplicated to Allah to let
mumineen, surrounded with difficulties
in this world, sit contently and
peacefully in the ship of salvation with
Husain’s Dai, Syedna Qutbuddin tus,
with their trust in Allah. He continued
and said that the Safeena tun najaat is
here today only because of that sajda
of Husain, in Karbala.

NEWS & EVENTS: Highlights of
Shehzada Abdeali bhaisaheb Ashara
Waaz 1 & 2
Shezada Dr. Abdeali bhaisaheb
performed Waaz on the eve of the 2nd
Moharram al-Haram in London, UK.
He explained that we have gathered
here in the days of Husain Imam to
reflect on the Ilm of the Aale
Mohammad, to mourn the martyrdom
of Imam Husain and weep for him and
do matam. The waaz started with an
explanation of the fact that we are in
the era of Panjatan and our Nabi
Mohammad. Mumineen are defined in
this era by their belief in the Nass of
Rasul Allah on Mawlana Ali. He
explained that Rasul Allah chose
Mawlana Ali because Nass is the
farman of Allah, and explained that this
can never deviate and explained the
Quranic Ayat, ‘wa Allahu ‘yasimuka
min al-naas’. Mawlana Ali said to the
Shi’a, that take good tidings, for Rasul
Allah SA has not passed from this
world except that he is pleased with
you. Why? Because you have accepted
the Nass, the farman of Rasul Allah.
That is why the peak of Islam are the
Shi’a, the pillar of Islam are the Shi’a.
We believe in the Nass of Rasul Allah,
and the tasalsul of Nass. That is why it
is we mumineen who are the true Shi’a.
Shz Dr Abdeali bhaisaheb explained
that the most noble of Allah’s creation
is the human, because he has been
given intelligence and reason.
Therefore humans must look with
‘basirat ni aankh’ the eyes of reason to
reflect on matters. To attain true
knowledge one must rely on the source
that has preserved it, without deviation.
Because of the tasalsul of Nass, this
SIJILL A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER OF FATEMIDAWAT.COM
knowledge is preserved in the Aimmat
and Duat. It is here that knowledge of
religion is precise and dependable,
because of the Nass of Rasul Allah.
Towards the end of waaz, Shezada Dr.
Abdeali bhaisab also linked the
meaning of the Shahadat of Imam
Husain to the preservation of Islam and
the kalimat al-shahadat and the
tasalsul of Nass through Imam Ali Zayn
al-Abidin.
Shezada Dr. Abdeali bhaisab,
performed waaz on the eve of the 3rd
of Moharram. He began the waaz by
explaining that this world will never be
without the Imam al-zaman. He
explained that the basis of our iman is
that we assert and acknowledge this
continuous chain of existence. The
mumin’s goal is to return to Jannat and
the world is a means to attain this. The
world is a world of aging and end.
Jannat is azali, eternal. It is the Mumin,
the one who acknowledges and brings
faith in the tasalsul who is privy to
these inner secrets of religion. It is the
Imam and his Dai that preserve these
meanings and inner secrets in their
true form. The knowledge may be
written, but the keys to understanding
them with correctness and integrity are
with the Imam and his Dai. Shezada
Abdeali bhaisab also explained the
zikar from the Ikhwan al-Safa which
compares the body as a ship and the
soul as the Captain of that ship. Shz Dr
Abdeali Bhaisaheb concluded the waaz
with shahadaat of Imam Husain.
