The day was marked with glory, light and happiness Mohammad (SW) has come to embrace the humanity with pure religious kindness. He is going to link the deteriorated lives of people with their pure innate disposition and recall the divine message to the terrestrials. Due to his arrival all biased ideas and disunity were vanished. Read more
In the sub-continent of India and Pakistan the believers celebrate this day differently. They prepare food and sweet dishes, give nazr on it and invite relatives and friends to their homes to relish it.

Significance of 22nd Rajab in Islam

The word NAZR is an Arabic word which means "an offering," in its verbal form it will mean "to offer" or "to make a spiritual vow."
Sometimes the word NIAZ is also used in this context. This is a word from Farsi which means "need," and it is its metaphorical use in the sense of an offering.
The basic concept of NAZR is to offer something less valuable in the hope and expectation of receiving something of higher value. The "value" does not have to be material; it could just be honor and dignity.
In fact 22nd Rajab (Koonda) is not only a family gathering promoting sila-e-rahem but also social and cultural gathering.
The NAZR of the 22nd day of the glorious month of Rajab is done as a result of this love for the holy Ahlul Bayt (a.s.).
On this day the sweet dishes like kheer, pudi, gulab jamun, barfi, and other items are prepared. The believers visit each others homes and consolidate their bonds of relationship.
The Muslims of Indian sub-continent celebrate this day irrespective of their sects.
Lately, the Wahhabis tried to sow discord among Muslims (as per their agenda) and tried abstain them from holding such festivities by calling falsely to it as bid-at and haraam.

Chehlum Majlis at Kurla jame' Masjid

Today before Zohrayn prayers a Majlis was recited by Hujjatul Islam Sayed Mahdi Husain Husaini saheb on the Chehlum of Amina Marhuma, the sister of Mahdi Azmi at Kurla Jame; Masjid, halao pul. Janab Mahdi Azmi is one of the senior most urdu poet and a lover of Ahlul Bayt (a.s.).
Maulana Husaini spoke on the holy Quran and its benefit in our life. He also covered different aspects of Fasting in the month of Ramadhan, the positive effects it leaves on the human body.
Maulana also emphasized on getting halal rizq and gave a live example of a person whom he had met during his stay in Qom, who recited the Holy Qur'an by heart and from any para or sura, while he never had a formal memorisation practice. It was a special gift from Allah.
The poet fraternity of city was clearly visible by its presence. After namaz the mo'mineen went to have nazr on first floor, and those who were fasting the Sha'ban mustahabbaat left for their home to have an afternoon nap.
The lunch serving was not managed properly. The biryani rice was all over the floor. The cleanliness was not to the mark. I hope the trustees would plan the proper service as the Sahr & Iftar programmes will resume during the coming month of Ramadhan.
