During the Majlis of Shab e 'Urs of 43rd Da'i e Mutlaq Saiyedna Yusuf Nuruddin saheb AQ in Masjid e Nooraani, after Maghrib namaaz, Aqaa Maulaa Saiyedna saheb TUS addressed Mumineen and said that, "Ka'bah is the purest land from where Allaah's Da'wat began and the rest of the world came into being. It is called Buq'ah Sharifah that attracts crores of people to nullify their evils. Every place on this earth that enjoys the status of Masjid now and has been declared as Waqf by Imaam e Haqq and Mumineen go there for 'Ibaadaat, that place was once upon a time the qabarastaan for Mumineen. And the place where we see qabarastaan today was once upon a time the mosque where Mumineen used to pray in some Dawr (a prescribed time). This is the reason that place becomes sajadah-gaah for all times. The mataaf (the area of tawaaf around Ka'bah) is the resting place of many Prophets."

Aqaa Maulaa Saiyedna saheb TUS quoted an interesting event before the birth of Maulaana Ali Ameer ul Mumineen AS in Makkah. M. Abu Taalib AS went to Yemen and met a monk-Raahib who predicted Rasoolullaah SAWS and Maulaa Ali's AS birth. To establish his claim Raahib revives a dead pomegranate-daadam tree and gets it into life with new leaves and flowers. This results in 2 fruits from which one fruit both of them eat and for the second one Raahib tells M. Abu Taalib AS to take it to Makkah and eat with M. Faatemah bint Asad AS. Both of them ate that special fruit that made the way for the birth of Maulaa Ali AS. It is said that, the Yemeni Pomegranate became the source of Maulaa's birth.

Aqaa Maulaa Saiyedna saheb TUS on the day of ‘Urs Mubaarak after Fajr Namaaz reopened the revisited the newly renovated maqam-o-majlis of Bustaan us Sawaab, which is exactly opposite to the Rawzah Shareefah of 7 Du’aat e Kiraam AQ in Bustaan e Badri.  It was built in 1359 AH during the time of 42nd Saiyedna Fida’ali Badruddin saheb by Sheth Husainali Grant Roadwala.  Since then Da’I uz Zamaan TUS used to organize majlis on different occasions during ‘Urs, Anjuman meeting, Dars, Khuddaam e Da’wat meeting etc.  Recently Aqaa Maulaa Saiyedna saheb TUS gave Razaa Mubaarak to Aliasghar bhai Dholkawala to refurbish this mubaarak place and get it done professionally so that Mumineen can remember its past grandeur and glory.

Aqaa Maulaa TUS presided the majlis of Bahr-e-‘Aam of Muqaddas Maulaa AQ and invited mumineen for deep contemplation on the Fazaa’il of Maulaa Ali (as).  Maulaa said that, It is related through M. Salamaan al-Faarsi (ra) who said that, In Qur’an e Kareem, Surat ul Ahad or Tawheed or Ikhlaas seems to be very small but it encompasses that Oneness of Allaah Ta’aala.  Such a great thing is explained by such a small and simple rhyming chapter-Surat.  Each and every created thing in this universe has its foundation in the Wahdat of Allaah Ta’aala.  The reward of 1/3 of the recitation of Qur’an is given to the one who recites this Surat ul Ikhlaas once.  2/3 of the reward is given who recites it twice.  And the reward of the whole Qur’an is bestowed to a mu’min who recites this surat thrice.

The ta’weeli reflection of this great surat is found in the Oneness of the spiritual status of the Saheb after the demise of Rasoolullaah (saws).  Immediate to him is the Wasaayat-vicegerency of Maulaana Ali (as).  This is our firm belief.  Imaamat which is perpetual has its branches spread in the heavens of Nubuwat and in the earth of Wasaayat.  One who helps other in keeping the belief in the truthfulness of M. Ali through the efforts of his tongue then he has gathered reward of 1/3 of Islaam from Allaah Ta’aala.  One who helps in safeguarding the Haqq and Respect of M. Ali through wealth then he has amassed the 2/3 of the reward and One who assists in it through his deeds involving his smallest body parts then he is rewarded with the spiritual wealth and Barakat of the entire Deen of Allaah. Muqaddas Maulaa used to do naseehat to mumineen to recite Surat ul Ikhlaas and keep strong faith in the Darajah of Ameer ul Mumineen Maulaana Ali (as).

On 16th Rajab 1439, Sunday, Aqaa Maulaa attented two functions one in morning in Jannat ul-Mumineen (Qabarastaan) and the other after the Maghrib Namaaz in Nooraani Masjid.  In Qabarastaan, Maulaa inaugurated the pure drinking water outlet at its entrance funded by the family of Safiyuddin bhai Dholkawala.  The beautifully designed water-outlet is a unique khidmat and the best Fayz fi-Sabeelillaah as it will serve the most sought after thing-water to mumineen visiting Qabarastaan for the Maghferat and Du’aa of their Marhumeen.

In the Morning Maulaa said that,

• Water is like Knowledge and it gives life to everything.
• The best water on this earth is of Bi’r-e-Zamzam whose water flowed under the feet of Maulaana Isma’il (as).
• We will get Aab-e-Kawsar from the dast-e-paak of Panjatan-e-Paak (as).
• Pure water is of Jannat and the filthy one is of Jahannam.
• Water supply to Sahebaan-e-Haqq was stopped by their enemies in most of the battles, but the same enemies were never deprived of water by the army of Sahebaan-e-Haqq, be it battle of Siffin or Karbalaa.
• We should drink water in three slots which are the stages of our Knowledge and that too with the praise and thanks of Allaah Ta’aala.

At Night Maulaa said in the majlis of Shab-e-‘Urs of Saiyedna Yusuf Nooruddin saheb (aq) that,

• Maulaana Ibraahim (as) saw Death as a beautiful person and mumineen would love to see him on death-bed.
• The more one tries to run away from Death the more it will become dreadful and fearful.
• Under the greatness and beauty of this Nooraani Masjid is buried the unimaginable sacrifice of Saheb-e-Da’wat.
• In the coming month of Sha’baan, Ra’s ul Hudood will go for the Ziyaaraat of Karbalaa-Najaf-Misr.  Next year insha-allaah Mukaasir saheb will plan the tour for ‘Umrah Mufradah after the Arba’een of Imaam Husain (as).

The 44th 'Urs Mubaarak of 43rd Da’i e Mutlaq Saiyedna Yusuf Nuruddin saheb was marked with the special event when Aqaa Maulaa unveiled 2 precious Tabarrukaat of Muqaddas Maulaa.  After doing ziyaarat in Rawzah Mubaarakah Maulaa disclosed a great secret by saying that, "Tabarrukaat is the special and historical thing used by Saheb e Da'wat (Nabi, Wasi, Imaam, Da'i) and passed on in the progeny generation after generation as an inheritance.  Today I am laying in front of you on this Qabr e Mubaarak, the “Kurta” (a short jubbah) of Muqaddas Maulaa who used to write with colourful thread the year of its stitching.  This Kurta carries the year 1388 AH and it has been preserved in the Da’wat Khazaanah.  Mumineen should take barakaat of it while doing Ziyaarat.  Apart from this there are many such things of Muqaddas Maulaa which 44th Da’i e Mutlaq Saiyedna Taiyeb Ziyauddin saheb used after becoming Da’i in 1394 AH.”

Maulaa said that, “With this mubaarak Kurta, I have also brough with me the kitaab of Fa’al Naamah and the kitaab on Mo’jezaat un Nabi (saws).  Till date Aqaa Maulaa is using this Fa’al Naamah which Muqaddas wrote in 1384 AH and it was handed over to Maulaa by Saiyedna Taiyeb Ziyauddin saheb when he used to sit in the Office opposite to Badri Mohalla from 1404-1421 AH.  It contains the mention of Solar-Lunar Eclipse, The thing or a person who get lost, Fa’al of Qur’an e Kareem and Fa’al of Burooj.  Kitaab Mo’jezaat un Nabi has a very interesting tale.  It was bought by 31st Da’i e Mutlaq Saiyedna Badruddin Hasan saheb in 1075 AH in Ahmedabad and 32nd Da’i e Mutlaq Saiyedna Ziyauddin Jivabhai saheb brought it to Vadodara along with other Da’wat books.  It was referred extensively by Du’aat during Moharram Wa’az as it contains 450 most authentic mo’jezah-miracles of Rasoolulaah (saws).  With the passage of time it got damaged and 37th Da’i e Maulaq Saiyedna Shaikhali Shamsuddin saheb made a new copy.  Muqaddas Maulaa took pains and made another copy which he used to bring during Moharram Majlis.  He completed its copying in 1391 AH and he showed mumineen from Takht e Taiyebi and did mo’jezah, the marking of which is still evident on its margins.”

Today I would like to tell from this very book, the ‘Ejaaz of the Handkerchief of Rasoolullaah (saws).  Uns bin Maalik says that, “One day Rasoolullaah left his handkerchief and I took it with me thinking that I will hand over to him as soon as he meets me.  I took it in my house where I started making food in tandoor.  Accidently that handkerchief slipped into the tandoor and I thought it might have got burnt in the fire.  But when I tried to take it out, I saw nothing has happened to it.  It was intact without any spots.  I took it and kissed it.” This was only because Rasoolullaah (saws) used to wipe and rub it on his mubaarak face while doing Wuzu or sweating.

Urs-e-Maymoon of Muqaddas Maulaa happened to be a memorable event when his “mansoos ‘alayhe” 44th Da’i ullaahil Ameen, Haadi ul-Mumineen Saiyedna wa Maulaana Abu Haatim Taiyeb Ziyauddin saheb (tus) visited Mazaar-e-Yusufi with Hudood and mumineen and a bayt-e-khaass “Misl-e-Qamar hai Taaron mai, Maulaa tera Mazaar” composed by his ma’zoon-o-mansoos Saiyedi Haatim Zakiyuddin saheb (dm) was recited in chorus and it seemed that Malaa’ikah has descended from the spiritual world to shower the rahmat and barakaat from Baargaah-e-Rabbaani on the gathering of Mumineen.

Huzoor-e-‘Aali Saiyedna saheb (tus) headed the majlis of layt ul-‘Urs in Nooraani Masjid.  After Qaseedah-khwaani Maulaa delivered Bayaan reflecting the haalaat of the last days of his father Muqaddas Maulaa.  He recounted the events when Muqaddas Maulaa was brought back to Vadodara after the short treatment in Mumbai during Ayyaam ul-Beez.  He vividly described the time of Salaat uz-Zawaal on 15th Rajab 1394 AH, when Muqaddas Maulaa gave razaa for Imaamat and at the end of namaaz when he went to Devdi Mubaarak with all the Hudood and Muqaddas Maulaa did Nass on him in front of large gathering by keeping his ‘amaamah (paghdi) on his head and declaring him as his successor. 

Huzoor-e-‘Aali Saiyedna saheb (tus) said that, “This ‘Urs marks the completion of 40 yrs of my Da’wat and during this time by the Sayaa-e-Haneen of my Maulaa Imaam uz-Zamaan (as) I strived hard to deep root the Taiyebi aqaa’id and Rusoomaat into the hearts of Alaviyeen and to uproot the bid’aat (innovations in Shari’at) from the Jamaa’at as it forms the basic requirement and moral responsibility to head this Spiritual Da’wat.  My mumineen should bear in their mind that if you have respect for your Da’i in your heart then only to will follow sincerely the shari’at that he preaches, and when you follow you will sure respect the Da’wat, and when you have reached the centre-point and essence of Da’wat then only you will able to grasp the Jalaalat and Hikmat of Allaah Ta’aala.”
