At the Majlis of the Chehlum of marhuma Aabeda Naqvi, Maulana Sayed Zeeshan Haider Zaidi was the Zakir. It was held on 25th April 2010 at Rizvi College, Bandra. This is the masaeb of the same Majlis. 

Juloos of 13th Jamadil Awwal

There are two Rawayats of the shahadat of Hadhrat-e-Zahra (s.a.). First is of 13th Jamidil Awwal and second is 3rd of Jamadis Saani. The later is more authentic and people all over the world observe this date. While the former date is observed by few people. Mumbai, is one of those places where the 13th Jamadi-I and 3rd Jamadi-II both are observed by the Shia community.
There is Khamsa (five) Majalis going on in different Masajid of Mumbai city. In Bandra Khoja Masjid a zakir of Hyderabad is reciting, Last night a Juloos was also from Mehfile-e-Panjatan, Bazar road,  proceeded to Masjid.

Today after Maghrabayn, it will be 3rd Majlis, while in Zaib Palace, Andheri Maulana Hasnain Kararvi is reciting Khamsa.
We pay our condolence to Imam-e-Zamana (a.s.) on these grief ridden days.

What makes Wudhu and Ghusl Incomplete?

See the below picture very carefully. The rings are tightly worn in the fingers. They are so tight, that, it is difficult to remove while performing Ghusl or Wudhu. If the water doesn't reaches to those parts under the ring then the Ghusl and Wudhu are incomplete and invalid. When Wudhu is invalid, then, automatically the namaz(salaat) becomes null and void. It applies to thread also which is worn around the wrists tightly. Also the nail polish for the ladies. So, we should be watchful while performing Wudhu or Ghusl. Save namaaz, save Aakherat (Hereafter).

Beware of Pizzas

Salam All

I have been thinking of sending this email for quiet a few years but finally decided to send one today.
Famous Pizza Outlets viz. Dominos and Pizza Hut in India are serving Pork Pizza (named as pepperoni pizza ). Many Muslim think that this is beed pepperoni but their website as well as resturant menu clearly states that this is Pork(100%)
I urge people not eat at these outlets as your pizza would be baked in the same oven or may be in the same pan in which a Pork Pizza was baked before.
I know most of you guys might be aware of this and might be avoiding it as well but would you prefer to eat a pizza baked in a same pan which is used to bake PORK Pizza .
Please check http://www.pizzahut.co.in and http://www.dominos.co.in/ to see it for yourself

Please pass this message on to other muslim and spread the message.
