To commemorate the 'Urs Mubaarak of our 42nd Da'i e Mutlaq Saiyedna Fidaali Badruddin saheb AQ in Bustaan e Badri, Mumineen (believers), came together for majlis to honour the khidmat of our Da'i, on 7-8 Sha'baan ul Kareem. Addressing a huge gathering Aqaa Maulaa said that, "There are three elements that unite us as Mumineen (believers) and draw us towards one another like a magnetic force, which are common amongst us. Firstly, we acknowledge that we are all created from the same clay or mud by Allaah Ta'aala before he breathed his spirit (ruhi) into us. Secondly, we recognize the divine light or noor within our spirits and it is ever illuminating because our devotion and respect of our Da'i. Lastly, we value the power of knowledge that has been bestowed upon us. The fountainhead of this knowledge is our Ahl ul Bayt AS and the Du'aat associated to them."
Our current Da'i uz Zamaan, S. Haatim Zakiyuddin saheb TUS, is also revered, and we are naturally drawn to him as well because of this magnetic force of purity of Clay, divinity of Light and eternity of Knowledge. This belief is inherited from our forefathers, who had also followed this tradition and had come to pay obeisance to Du'aat in their times. As Mumineen, we often request each other to remember in prayers or Du'aa. However, when we enter the Rawzah for ziyaarat, being the representatives of Allaah Ta'aala, our Da'i knows our hidden wishes and desires, and they are often surely granted, provided that we have strong faith (aqeedah) in the belief of Wasilah.
Maulaa said that, "It is essential to treat all Mumineen with respect and kindness, as they are not helpless or downtrodden individuals. When you mistreat one Mu'min, you upset and insult all others associated with him. Similarly, if you do some misconduct against a Da'i, then you have waged a war against the entire Alavi Jamaa'at. Remember Da'i is the core of Mumineen of his time and he holds the Surat of his believers."
A Mu'min is blessed by the Nooraaniyat of Khamsat ul Athaar, A'imaat and Du'aat SA, and any negative action towards him is equivalent to severing spiritual ties with M. Ali AS, all Imaams of his progeny, and their Du'aat. Allaah Ta'aala sends curse on anyone who mistreats a Mu'min, and this curse gets manifested in various grades, forms and times.
Furthermore, a Mu'min carries a part of Nufoos (souls) of other Mumineen in a hidden form, and their request to a Mu'min for Ziyaarat e Du'aat gets fulfilled when he makes himself present with Da'i uz Zamaan TUS in Rawzah Mubaarakah. When we enter the Rawzah of our Du'aat for Ziyaarat, we recite this Du'aa, "Enter with Sujood (prostration) as it is full of blessings and mercy (rehmat) from Saheb e Haqq. This Du'aa is an assurance from our Du'aat that we need not worry about our small misdeeds as it is forgiven due to their mediation, and Ihsaan (goodness) is done to all those who deserve it."
As a true Shia's of Ameer ul Mumineen Maulaana Ali AS, when we die, it is customary for our relatives to offer Haqq un Nafs (sharwaa) to our Da'i uz Zamaan TUS. Only after this, our nafs elevates to the spiritual spheres of Imaam uz Zamaan AS. For a Mu'min, his real life begins after death. Death for others is a Life for us. There may be situations where a Mu'min has been unable to perform his prayers or engage in good deeds as they intended, due to ignorance, old age or other health circumstances. However, they should not feel aghast about it, as Allaah Ta'aala knows best. A Mu'min's intention (niyat) to pray holds equal importance to their actions (aa'maal). Thus, a Mu'min should continue to strive for good deeds throughout their life and trust in Allaah's mercy and forgiveness. The best of Mumineen is the one who prays in his young age. |

In the majlis of Laylat ul-‘Urs (Behram) Mukaasir Maulaa delivered bayaan on the importance of Tasleem, Dast-bosi and Qadam-bosi i.e. respecting the Saheb of Darajah by bowing and keeping ones forehead, both eyes and lips on his right hand and right leg. He cited an event during the Nubuwat of Rasoolullaah (saws) in Madinah when M. Huzaifah al-Yamaani came for the Qadam-bosi-e-Rasool by the farmaan of his mother. Mukaasir Maulaa also laid stress on the way and right method for mumineen in doing Qadam-bosi during different Ruhaani and Social occasions.
The Rawzah of our Muqaddas Maulaa is like Jannat and one should enter into it from the side of Qadam Mubaarak thereby doing Qadam-bosi of Muqaddas Maulaa. Rasoolullaah (saws) said in his Hadees for the devotion of parents that, “The Paradise-Jannat is underneath the legs of the Parents.” Mukaasir Maulaa explained the baatini meaning of right hand, fingers, Qadam-bosi in detail and said that, “Qadam-bosi of Saheb-e-Da’wat is an integral part of the beliefs of Alavi Taiyebi Mumin and it is the first and foremost step towards the way of Imaan.” The only niyyat of Qadam-bosi should be the request for the Du’aa of Maghferat and well-being in deeni-duniyaawi affairs. |
