Dua for Maulana Sayed Hasnain Rizvi Kararvi

Laylatul Qadr: the Night of Power

The month of Ramadhan has been singled out for special worship (`Ibadat) and exclusive favours. It is a month unlike other months. One reason for this, as defined by the Qur'an, is because the Holy Qur'an was revealed in this month. Says Allah in Sura al­Baqarah: The month of Ramadhan, that in which the Qur'an was sent down; a guidance for mankind, and clear signs of guidance and distinction (2:185). In fact, according to a hadith of the 6th Imam (a), the other holy books were also revealed in this month.

Among the nights of Ramadhan is one special night, which is better than a thousand months (HQ, 97:3). Good deeds performed on that single night are equal to those performed over a thousand months. It is the Night of Power (Laylatul Qadr), when the Qur'an was revealed. Some commentators believe it was the night when the Qur'an was brought down from Baytul M`amur (Heavenly abode), for Jibrael to reveal in parts to the Prophet (s). Others say it was the night when the Prophet received the entire Qur'an, but was asked to transmit it as and when the occasion demanded.

Laylatul Qadr is a celebration to commemorate the arrival of the final guidance for humans. It is a tribute to the commencement of the message revealed to mankind by their Creator, a message which shows them the way to achieve happiness in both the worlds. Just as the arrival of a child is celebrated, on its birth and then every year, as a bringer of joy and fulfilment for the family, Laylatul Qadr is celebrated as a bringer of light and guidance for mankind. Unlike the birthday which is celebrated with a feast for the senses, Laylatul Qadr includes a feast for the spirit, a feast of worship and prayers.

Some Ahadith indicate that the fate of every believer for the coming year is decreed on this night. That is why the Du`as for this night ask for special favours in the decree for the year. Believers are encouraged to stay awake the entire night, and pray for blessings and forgiveness. It is the holiest night of the year, and it would be unwise to be heedless of the tremendous benefits of this night.

Tabut at Zainabia Imambada

Remembering the martyrdom of Hadhrat Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib on 21st Ramadhan there was a Majlis and Juloos at Zainabia Imambada in the early hours on 12th Sept. 2009.

After the A'maal of Shab-e-Qadr which was lead by Hujjatul Islam Maulana Sayed Hasnain Kararvi, Anjuman-e-Mashke Sakina did a heavy Nauha and Matam, there was a Sehri arrangement at Imambada. Later a Majlis was recited by Janab A'jaz Abbas after which there was a Tabut (replica of the coffin of Imam Ali (a.s.)). This Tabut was made of pure silver costing Rs. 4.5 lacs. The Juloos proceeded to Moghul Masjid. The huge crowd estimated to be above 10,000 mourned and did Maatam all along the way.

New Programme at Mehfile Panjatan, Mahim

During the holy month of Ramadhan, there is an arrangement of Iftar and dinner at Mehfile Panjatan, Dana Gali, Mahim (west) every year. But, this year a new programme has been introduced between Iftar and Dinner. Maulana Zaheer Hasan Saheb is delivering 15-20 minutes lectures on ethics (akhlaaq) on various topics. For example last week when I visited this Mehfil for Iftar, his topic was Tolerance and Forbearance. He explained beautifully on this subject with the support of historical anecdotes and day to day happenings.
He also brought to the notice to those who wear threads (black or red) attributing it to the zareeh and their love for Ahlul Bayt (a.s.). These threads if wore tightly around the arm and the wrist may prevent the Wuzu water to reach that particular are of the arm will be invalidating the Wuzu, consequently it will also make the Namaaz batil. He appealed to the audience to save their namaaz by loosening that thread.
After the talks of Maulana those present and wore threads, checked and loosened it, thanking Maulana for saving their future namaaz.
At Mehfile Panjatan their will be aamaal of Shabe Qadr on Wednesday, 9th Sept., Friday 11th Sept. and Sunday 13th Sept. from 9.30 pm till Sehri.
