Ma'zoon ud Da'wat Saiyedi Sa'eed ul Khayr 'Imaaduddin saheb DM headed the group of 55 mumineen-muminaat for 'Umrah Mufradah and ziyaaraat of Misr Mubaarak (Cairo). The majlis e Wadaa' and Bay'at e Imaam uz Zamaan AS was held at Devdi Shareefah on 28th Jumaadi ul Ukhraa 1446/29 Dec 2024, Sunday 10 am. Aqaa Maulaa Saiyedna saheb TUS said that, "By the Wasilah of Imaam uz Zamaan AS, Allaah Ta'aala will bestow you with the Barakaat of Ka'batullaah and Masjid e Nabawi. You must see that you every deed-amal should have the du'aa for forgiveness (Maghferat), grace (Rahmat) and guidance (Hidaayat). You will visit the purest place of this earth, so prepare yourselves with pure intention and pure action. Makkah, Madinah and Qaaherah are the cradle of Islaam o Imaan that witnessed the Noor of Imaamat. You all are very fortunate that Ma'zoon ud Da'wat is with you and he would make sure at each and every maqaamaat that you perform the right thing at right time.”

“Along with 'Umrah Mufradah that has become common among mumineen, you will be visiting al-Qaaherah al-Mo'izziyah (Cairo) where you will witness the tajalli of our Faatemi Imaams in form of their mosques that were built before 1100 years. You will feel the fragrance of Imaan and the realms of true Islaam that thrived for centuries under the patronage and Imaamat of A'immat e Haqq AS.  Qaaherah is a city for us where Imaamat e Ruhaaniyah of Aal e Mohammad AS and their Hukoomat e Dunyawiyah meets with unparallel and unimaginable majesty and might.  Ka’bah is the centre of Makkah and this world, al-Masjid un-Nabawi is the centre of al-Madinah and Nubuwah and Ra’s ul Imaam ul Husain AS is the centre of al-Qaaherah and Imaamah."

The tour was designed to ease the arkaan of Umrah and ibaadaat while keeping in mind the accuracy of every manaasik and ziyaaraat, first the group visited Madinah, then Makkah and the tour ended with the group visiting and witnessing the legacy of Faatemi Imaams in Misr.

MADINAH

In Madinah, mumineen performed their obligations with the guidance and help of Ma’zoon Maulaa as follows:

• Did didaar of the graves of Maa Faatemah az-Zahraa AS, five Faatemi imaams, wives and daughters of Rasoolullah SAWS and few ashaab every day after praying the Fajr namaaz in Masjid un-Nabawi.
• Prayed atleast one imaamat namaaz in the Hadd of Masjid un-Nabawi.
• Prayed mukammal balaagh along with namaaz and Du'aa in the Rauzatum min Riyaaz il Jannah and also imaamat namaaz of  Zohr and Asr.
• Did ziyaarat of many Masaajid which includes, Masjid-e-Fath, Masjid-e-Maulaana Ali AS, Masjid-e-Maulaatona Maa Faatemah AS, Masjid-e-Maulana Salamaan ul-Faarsi AS, Masjid Mashrabate Umme Ibraahim AS, Masjid-e-Quba/Qiblatain and Maulaana Hamzah AS. Ma'zoon saheb gave a detailed bayaani of every masjid and atraaf ziyaaraat and also highlighted its historical perspective.
• Ma'zoon saheb addressed mumineen after every Maghrib and Isha imaamat namaaz in which he emphasized upon the historical perspective of Madinah and people madfoon in it, and after that, majlis for recitation of Na’at and Masaa'ib was organized.

MAKKAH

After Madinah, Mumineen went to Makkah. The purpose behind Makkah being the second in the itinerary was to keep in mind the purity of ehraam and other arkaan.

• While it is very hard to maintain a group while doing umrah tawaaf, Ma'zoon saheb with his determination, helped every Mu'min in the group to do the arkaan properly and he recited the Du'aas loudly which were then repeated by the group.  Umrah was completed in the early morning at 5 which was followed by fajr imaamat namaaz in Masjid ul-Haraam.
• Everyday after Maghrib namaaz Ma'zoon saheb would present some extraordinary insights about Rasoolullaah SAWS and his life before Hijrat.
• It was the group’s pleasure that it was possible to pray imaamat namaaz in the first row near mustajaar which includes the 11th Rajab when it rained during the Zohr prayer and the group then started the tawaaf. Praying while rains is like taking ghusl of Barakaat e Ilaahiyah in Allaah's haram.
• In addition to this, mumineen were taken toTaa'if ziyaaraat which consists of places like, The grape field of Waleed, Masjid-e-Ghulaam Addas, Masjid-e-Maulaa Ali AS, Masjid-e-Rasool-e-Khudaa SAWS i.e. the place where the falling stone stopped and Rawzah of Maulaana Abdullaah bin Abbaas AS and his masjid where Zohr and Asr imaamat namaaz was held.
• The group went to Sa’diyah village where Haleemah Sa’diyah lived with Rasoolullaah SAWS in his childhood. Mumineen witnessed the place where he lived, he prayed and the place where the chest of Rasoolullaah SAWS was opened (Sharh-e-qalb). The day ended with a visit to the maidaan of Hunain where mumineen did ziyaarat of the martyrs of Hunain and Ma'zoon saheb gave a comprehensive speech with a historical approach to the Jung of Hunain.
• A distinctive interactive session was organized where Mumineen were asked questions from all the previous sermons given by Ma'zoon saheb during this trip to test their memory power. Mumineen actively participated in this activity.
• Every day, there was recitations of Faatehah and Du’aa of Khatm ul Qur’an for marhoomeen as per the requests of mumineen.
• Mumineen passionately did tawaaf of Ka’batullaah every day and on the day of Wada’, Ma'zoon saheb and mumineen prayed the Ishaa-il-Aakherat Namaaz in Masjid ul-Haraam, near Mustajaar wall and took waseelah.

The Land of Cairo, Misr is the land of A'immat e Faatemiyeen where one upon a time, Faatemi Imaams were Emporers and had their glorious empire for 2 centuries.  Mumineen filled with devotion can still to this day, roam freely in the streets, Masjids and Jawaame’ of Misr and can feel from the Maqaamaat of Imaams the fragrance of Jannah.

This land is so far the most unexplored land for the mumineen due to which their was too much curiosity around to know about the beauty created by our Faatemi Imaams. Mumineen were sure that coming to Cairo was one of their best decisions and would never forget this majestic Cairo.

Generally the places covered included, Masjid-e-Imaam Husain AS, Ra’s ul-Husain AS, Baab ul-Faradees, Jaame’ al-Azhar, Jaame’ al-Aqmar, al-Mo'izziyah Street, Jaame’ al-Anwar, Baab ul-Futooh, Baab un-Nasr, Jaame’ Ahmad-ibn-Tuloon, Jaame’ al-Ateeq, Jaame’ al-Juyooshi, Mashhad e M. Mohammad ibn Abi Bakr AS, Qabr-e-Saiyedna Badr al-Jamaali RA, Jaame’ Lulua and Qabr-e- M. Maalik e Ashtar AS.

Keeping in mind, the awqaat of Namaaz, Ma'zoon saheb arranged a schedule where mumineen got to pray imaamat namaaz around two times in every Jaame’ and if not, then atleast once.  Every namaaz and visit was followed by the accurate bayaani of the place, history, people related to the place and the reason of the architectural similarity as well as differences.

One day ziyaarat to Alexandria was organized where group visited 3 quboor of Ambiyaa namely Nabiyullaah Zul Qarnayn AS, Nabiyullaah Luqmaan AS, Nabiyullaah Daniyaal AS. Ma'zoon saheb went to Masjid-e-Attarain and witnessed the mimbar and maqaam of Saiyedna Bard al-Jamaali RA and Imaam Mustansir AS’s Tauqee to build the Masjid and prayed the Asr namaaz in the masjid. Ma'zoon saheb gave an insight and efforts of Saiyedna Badr al-Jamaali AQ and his son al-Afzal Shahenshaah.

At the end of the tour, mumineen were greatly convinced and their postulation about Faatemi Imaams and especially for Misr changed completely, and every Mu'min had their opinion that every Ziyaarat is incomplete if they have not visited Cairo.

It was the hardwork and dedication of Sheikh Ali Akbar Dhelwala (Owner of Ace Tourism) combined with the Hidaayat and naseehat of Ma'zoon Maulaa which made this tour a success and his determination towards complying to every farmaan and directions of Ma'zoon Maulaa to make out the best for the Mumineen which was well appreciated. Along with Ma'zoon Maulaa, his brother Shehzada Mujtabaa Bhaisaheb worked hard on the management level to help and look after all the arkaan of mumineen. Ma'zoon Maulaa made this tour an example fo the upcoming tours and a trip to remember for all the mumineen through his excellent knowledge and oratory skills. Mumineen were given much more than what they anticipated.
