17-21 Safar ul Muzaffar 1448/31 Jul-4 Aug 2026, Mumbai Jamaa'at mumineen was bestowed with the Hidaayaat and Irshaadaat of Aqaa Maulaa Saiyedna saheb TUS, when Maulaa's safar e maymoon began with the Imaamat namaaz of Yaum ul Jomo'ah at Badri Masjid, Worli followed by the majlis of Maulaatona Sakinah AS and Arba'een e Maulaana  Imaam Husain AS at Markaz e Alavi (Zenith Hall).  All these 3 miqaat witnessed the pure submission and sublime dedication towards Da'i uz Zamaan TUS who is the Naa'ib of the Imaamat of Aal e Husain AS.  Mumineen participated in the Fajr prayer when Aqaa Maulaa held a special majlis of Khatm ul Qur'an (Sadaqallaah) for the marhumeen who are buried in Jannat ul Mumineen, Worli Qabarastaan.  Maulaa personally visited some of the Quboor of Mumineen and did Du'aa e Marhamat.

During his Iqaamat at Masaakin e Badriyah, Badri Masjid, Maulaa did Iftitaah e Sa'eed (Inauguration) of some of the flats at Byculla.  By bestowing Ta'weez e Hifaazat, Maulaa wrote Alaamat of "Bismillaah" with his Dast e Mubaarak.  In one of the flats Maulaa addressed the gathering and said that, "O Mumineen! You are the neighbours of Masjid, make it alive by offering namaaz in it.  As your fathers taught you religious and social responsibilities to you, now it's your turn to act in such a way that your children-new generation by watching you take the lifelong lessons of Imaani actions and Islamic ethics.  These all things which make your house beautiful is only till the door of death, but the real house is more beautiful than this one.  This is temporary and that is permanent.  So you have to act sincerely and devotedly to achieve that goal of permanent house." 

Aqaa Maulaa Saiyedna saheb TUS during his lectures in various majaalis did important Irshaadaat and Observations:

1. After farzand/dukhtar gets engaged they should clarify about physical ailments, financial liabilities, social media friends, KYR (know your relatives), family-career priorities before entering into wedlock.
2. Young mumineen with all facilities and capabilities should try to offer namaaz of Fajr or Jomo'ah in Badri Masjid.
3. Avoid rushing for ziyaarat during Arba'een, else prefer the time when you could stand closer to Rawzah with ease and peace.
4. Marriage becomes huge burden for parents when important things are not timely executed or unwanted things take your time and money.  To make things easier, mumineen should avoid doing rusoomaat e shaadi at party plots, do one jaman, limit the guests for jaman, don't give gold jewellery in pallu rasm, restrict mehmaan during wehwaan.
5. Shab e Me'raaj, Rajab ul Murajjab witnesses unprecedented surge in tabzeer, meaning the exorbitant expenses in sending hadiyaat-kharaas-mithaas thaal among mumineen where farzand/dukhtar have got engaged.  This is truely against the tenets of Mazhab e Ahl ul Bayt AS.  Avoid such irresponsible act of envy.
6. Plan your farzand/dukhtar marriage in Rajab or in the first 15 days of Sha'baan too.  Nothing is true about not doing marriage before Shab e Bar'at.
7. Hajj e Baytullaah is Rukn e Farz for mumineen.  If all goes as per the plan you should inform Saheb e Da'wat at the earliest for Dars and useful information.

In one of the majlis Aqaa Maulaa Saiyedna saheb TUS summoned all Qaare'in and Zaakireen of Mumbai Jamaa'at.  This newly formed group "Khuddaam e Badri" was very fortunate to interact directly with Saheb e Darajaat.  They were given responsibility to do Zaakiri throughout the year at various majaalis.  They will be given guidance and training for marsiyah-khwaani and tahat-kalaami with appropriate tarz o tarannum.  

During the Chehlum majlis, mumineen got a precious opportunity of taking barakaat of Parcham e Gumbad e Imaam Husain AS.  It was placed on the right jaanib of Takht e Taiyebi.  This Parcham was gifted by the authorities of Atabaat e Rawzah Husainiyah and for this they came personally to Vadodara to have a didaar and mulaaqaat of Huzoor e 'Aali TUS.

Aqaa Maulaa Saiyedna saheb TUS gave sharaf to naseebdaar mumineen to host ziyaafat e khaassah at different occasions.  They are Anjuman e Badri, Anjuman e Shubbaan e Faatemi, Aliakbar bhai S Vishiwala, Shaikhali bhai S Barodawala, Husainali bhai N Marchawala, Ahmadali bhai Q Dhelawala, Firdaus bhai F Nadiadi, Abdul Husain bhai S Attarwala, Altaaf bhai I Bakrolwala, Ali bhai M Barodawala, Imraanali bhai R Vishiwala, Adnanali bhai S Muqaadam, Aunali bhai R Shirawala, Aqeel bhai A Chothiyawala, Jaabir bhai I Dabhoiwala.

On the auspicious occassion of Shab e Chehlum of Maulaana Imaam Hussain AS on 26th September 2021, 19th Safar 1443 AH, Sunday, Saiyedna Abu Sa'eed il Khayr Haatim Zakiyuddin Saheb TUS addressed mumineen and gave an overview of the day of Chehlum-Arba'een and the Masaa'ib-difficulties of safar-travelling faced by the Ahl-e-Haram-Husaini from Karbalaa to Shaam and then from Zindaan e Shaam to Madinah via Karbalaa.

As the majlis commenced, the Zakereen-e-Da'wat recited kalaam giving a devotional tribute to Aqaa Husain AS and his Ashaab for their truthfulness and sacrifice while remaining without water and food for 3 days. Following this, Khayr ul Anaam was recited by Hudood e Da'wat and the excitement  was felt in the air as physical majlis was taking place in Masjid after a long period of time. Despite heavy rainfall, there was a noticeable increase in the number of Mumineen-Muminaat than expected.  Attending the majlis of Da'i-e-Husain is the answer to the Da'wat of Aqaa Husain AS for reward and salvation.

• Imaam Husain (as) is "Khaamiso Ahlil Kisaa" and "Waaris ul-Ambiyaa" i.e. the 5th of al-Khamsatul Athaar (as) and the heir of Ambiyaa (as).  In his personality, character, life and mission the essence of the lives of all the prophets are all-encompassing.

• All the prophets visited the land of Karbala and wept on the hardships of Ahlul Bayt (as) and the shahaadat of Imaam Husain (as) became afresh in their minds and they took refuge in the waseelah of Imaam Husain (as) for their maghferat and taubah.

• No worldly strength could have injured and martyred Imaam Husain (as) but it was decreed by Allaah Ta’aala for making him and his progeny the path of salvation and truth for mumineen and to safeguard the shari’at from the hands of hypocrites and tyrants.

• The Ejaaz of Imaam Husain (as) was such that while he was getting slaughtered at Karbala, on some other place he was present to help his shi’a in distress and take him out from the hands of death and hardship.  Imaam Husain (as) has jism-e-kaseef (worldly body) as well as jism-e-lateef (heavenly body) because he was Imaam uz-Zamaan (as) at the time of his shahaadat-e-uzmaa.  The elements of jism-e-kaseef gets buried in the earth but jism-e-lateef is ever present for the help and comes in front of the mumin whenever and wherever he does du’a and iltijaa. 

• Every disbeliever in the shari’at of Allaah gets death after his life on this earth, but every mumin gets eternal life after his death on this earth.  The ilm and amal of the believer is solely connected with the walaayat of Imaam uz-Zamaan (as) who is the aal and progeny of Imaam Husain (as).

• Installing of alam, wearing black cloths, doing matam on the streets and exhibiting it with zanjeer is all bid’at in our Isma’ili-Taiyebi faith.  No Fatemi Imaam did this type act and not a single word exists in our literature depicting the account of such innovations.  Every bid’at is ignorance and every ignorance has its place in hell.   

• Mohammad Rasoolullaah (saws) ordered us to remember his beloved grandson Imaam Husain (as) with tearful eyes and faithful hearts.  He said that, follow me and don’t do new things in Shari’at, for you will spoil your aaqebat (status in Hereafter).  White color is the master of all other colors and by wearing white clothes in the Masjid-majlis-mazaar we are expressing our nooraaniyat and ruhaaniyat at its full length.  Blackness is the symbol of ignorance and tyranny.
