| Taheri
Masjid, Karachi - June 28, 2004 : The
Waaz Mubarak of Shahadat-e-Maulatona Fatema-tul-Batool
AS was at the Taheri Masjid in Saddar with audio
relay in
other masajid. Aqa Maula TUS arrived at 10:35
and presided over the Takht at 10:50.
Qasida Mubaraka's Tilawat and Nauha by Shahzadi
Shireen Behen Saheba was recited. Huzur-e-Ala
TUS addressed mumineen with "The followers
of Fatemiyeen
Aimmat". Maula narrated the incident of Maulatona
Fatema's marriage that is related in the book
'Sawa'eq Muhrekah'.
Aqa Maula TUS described the 7 aspects of the
last ayats of Surah al-Fajr from "ya ayyatohan
nafsul mutma'innah…". One of the several
aspects of these ayat relate to the lifetimes
of Maulatona Fatema, Amirul Mumineen Molana Ali,
Imam Husain, Imam Tayyib and Doat Kiram AS. Their
tranquil nature during times of turmoil and tragedies
is reflected in these ayats.
Aqa Maula TUS said that Amirul Mumineen was the
'Nafs Mutma'innah' and that he was the 'Nafs lawwama'
and narrated the riwayat of Dhirar al-Nah'shali.
During the zikr of Amirul Mumineen Maula TUS narrated
the Battle of Kisra and said that Amirul Mumineen
wanted to bring Maulatona Banu who is the mother
of all aimmat and therefore he went to war. Describing
the tranquility that Amirul Mumineen had he related
the event of the battle of Jamal in which Amirul
Mumineen was yawning while there was a shower
of arrows from the enemy camp. When Mohammed bin
Hanafiyah,
his son, told him about the enemy attack he told
him not to cry like a virgin. This was to make
Mohammed happy.
Speaking on the peace of mind that the Doat Kiram
have, Huzur-e-Alaa TUS said that the much turmoil
and tragedies came in the way but the Doat stayed
calm. The peace of mind that the chain of Dawat
and it continuity will remain until the zuhur
of Imam or the day of resurrection.
Huzur-e-Alaa TUS did the zikr of Syedna Abdullah
Badruddin in detail and described the enormous
khidmat done by him. He said that Syedna Ismail
Badruddin (ra) had served seven Doat but yet the
Khidmat of Syedna Abdullah Badruddin (ra) was
much more. Maula also described the nass on Syedna
Abdullah Badruddin with each detail.
Pointing to the lofty position of Doat Kiram Huzur-e-Alaa
TUS also said that the enemies of Dawat went towards
hell, while Mumineen were with the 'nafs mutma'innah'
(tranquil soul) that which will take them to the
heavens to their allotted places.
Huzur-e-Alaa TUS also did the zikr of "inshiqaqul
qamr". Habib bin Malik had demanded from
Rasulallah that he make the moon split into two
peaces and thus the miracle took place by the
will of Allah following which Habib embraced Islam.
Huzur-e-Alaa TUS said that Syedi Malekulashter
BS. Had visited New Delhi to congratulate the
new congress government and the Prime Minister
Dr Manmohan Singh. Maula said that during the
meeting the PM inquired several times about the
health and well-being of Aqa Maula and also requested
that Huzur-e-Alaa pray for the government. Huzur-e-Alaa
prayed for the Indian Prime Minister that Allah
help him serve the nation and peace prevail in
the world.
Huzur-e-Alaa led the Zohr/Asr Namaaz and ascended
the takhte imami for the remaining bayan.
Huzur-e-Alaa TUS started the bayan with a riwayat
in which Imam AS explains the reason behind Fatematuz
Zahra's name. It is related that Maulatona Fatema
would shine as the noon sun during the early day,
like a moon in the evening and a bright star at
night. The light of Fatema's glowing face would
shine in the home of the people of Madina. The
divine light had three shades with which Fatema
served Amirul Mumineen. At dawn a whitish shade
of light filled the home of Madina, at noon the
shade was yellowish and the after maghrib it was
redish in colour. The barkat of this noor was
seen in the clothing and homes and each time when
the people of Madina went to Rasulallah to enquire
about it, he sent them to the house of Maulatona
Fatema where they found her engrossed in prayed
and saw a shining light as well.
Huzur-e-Alaa TUS then related an event during
the birth of Imam Husain AS when Allah sent Jibra'eel
to greet the Prophet as well as offer Ta'ziyat.
When the Prophet enquired about the condolence
he was told to look at the neck of the Imam where
he found a red line and was informed that it was
the sign of murder. On hearing this the Prophet
wept. At last Fatema too came to know of the incident
and went to Rasulallah crying and lamenting on
Imam Husain's martyrdom. She enquired that when
and where will this incident happen. Rasullah
said that when none of them would be there by
the side of Imam Husain. Fatema asked that if
none of us will be there who would lament on him.
Rasulallah informed that in times to come a jamaat
from your father's ummat will come who will do
matam and weep on Imam Husain year after year.
Husain Imam will
do shafa'at for them and Allah will give them
place in Darus Salaam.
Huzur-e-Alaa TUS narrated the shahadat of Maulatona
Fatema with each and every minute detail. Maula
TUS said that he had narrated the shahadat of
Imam Husain in Karbala and Imam Hasan in Kuwait
from the Qasida of Syedi Abdul Qadir Hakimuddin
(The shahadat of Panjatan is in Poetic form) and
today he would recite the shahadat of Maulatona
Fatema from that Qasida. As Maula narrated the
entire event for more than half an hour the entire
majlis was in deep lament, each and every eye
was wet in tears and hands busy in matam such
was the effect of the sorrow and grief that was
portrayed by Maula before our eyes. The backdrop
of the takht was a huge picture of the Qabr Mubarak
of Maulatona Fatema and one could clearly visualize
the cruelty of the enemies of Ale Mohammed even
after the death of the prophet's daughter. As
Maula narrated the entire event our hearts were
moved and souls were trembling as never was such
grief and sorrow ever our minds had seen and felt
that the Prophet's daughter had faced in her lifetime.
Huzur-e-Alaa TUS explained that it was the habit
of Maulatona Fatema AS to wash the hands and feet
pf Amirul Mumineen and help him take off his attire
but on her last day when Molana Ali arrived home
he saw that she
had not been doing the usual but she had wet some
margose leaves, prepared a bread mould and wet
the clothes of Hasan and Husain. On enquiry Fatema
informed that it was her last day and that the
next day everyone would be busy with her janaza
therefore she had prepared the meal and bathing
water of Imam Hasan and Husain for the next two
days. Maulatona Fatema then did told her will
to Amirul Mumineen in which she said to keep the
note of shafa'at that had been given to her in
Mehr in
her Qabr, as well as the bottle of her tears.
At last Hasan and Husain returned and Fatema
took them in her arms. She asked that her bed
be turned towards the Qiblah and she prayed for
the Shia of Amirul Mumineen. An answer was heard
that Fatema if you had prayed for an enemy or
even the mushrikeen at this moment I would have
forgiven them and granted them the rizq of Islam.
Maulatona Fatema passed away at the age of 23
and Amirul Mumineen had lamented on her and said
various verses.
In the end of the waaz Maula said that I would
recite Husain Imam shahadat so that Fatema would
be happy in Jannat. The waaz ended with the shahadat
of Imam Husain AS.
Huzur-e-Alaa TUS blessed everyone with precious
gems of Ilme Ale Mohammed and
the bayan was of such high altitude and lofty
meanings as was never heard before.
May Allah Subhanahu bless our Maula with ever
lasting health till ages to come. -Ameen. |
