The last few weeks have been joyous and busy for mumineen of Houston. The news of Shahzada Malikul Ashtar bhaisaheb Shujaudding saheb’s DM return to Houston was followed by the news that Aqa Moula TUS had appointed Shahzada saheb as Ameerul Hajj for this year.
Shahzada saheb arrived on 9th Zilqad al Haraam to Houston and presided over urus majlis of Syedna Abdeali Saifuddin saheb AQ on 12th raat. Shahzada saheb’s maqdam was done after urus majlis. During najwa arz, mumineen of Houston did arz for Aqa Moula TUS to do Ashara Mubaraka 1428H in Houston.
In the days that followed Shahzada saheb granted mumineen with sharaf of zyaafat and qadam at mumineen homes and businesses. Shahzada saheb also attended wedding ceremonies. During the zyaafat another arz for Ashara in Houston was done and this time other jamiat were also present. Shahzada saheb informed mumineen that Dallas, California and the entire North America is together with Houston in this arz.

On milaad mubarak of Syedna Taher Saifuddin Aqa RA, Shahzada saheb led mumineen in maghrib i’shaa namaaz and presided over Milaad majlis. Amil saheb, Sheikh Nooruddin Yamani did a taqreer in which he did zikr of Syedna Taher Saifuddin Aqa’s RA shanaat and ehsaanaat on mumineen. Amil saheb also mentioned that there are three Shahzada sahebo DM in USA presiding over majlis tonight in three different cities; Shahzada QaeedJohar bhaisaheb Ezziuddin saheb DM and Shahzada Ammar bhaisaheb Jamaluddin saheb DM in California. In his taqreer Amil saheb did tehniyaat arz to Shahzada saheb for being Ameerul Hajj and did arz to remember mumineen of Houston in doa and zyaarat. And again and again in his taqreer Amil saheb did arz to Shahzada saheb to do doa for Aqa Moula TUS to perform Ashara Mubaraka for 1428H in Houston. Purjosh matam after shahaadat of Imam Husain SA ended the taqreer. At one point during matam, Shahzada saheb instructed the Raiiso of Houston jamaat to lead mumineen in matam, with the niyyat of tulul umr of Aqa Moula TUS and for Ashara Mubaraka 1428H in Houston.

After sharbat and shukr najwa, tehniyaat arz was done followed by wada salaam by all mumineen. Shahzada saheb gave raza for jaman thaal to be given as Burhani Women’s and other muminaat salaam was done in the masjid sehen. Shahzada saheb then cut a ‘Milaad Mubarak’ cake which was given for dessert to all mumineen, and proceeded to VIP room for jaman.

Shahzada saheb left Houston for Hajj on Thursday 1st Zilhaj al Haraam 1427H, December 21st 2006.

May Allah Ta’ala grant Aqa Moula TUS a long and healthy life till the day of qayaamat.
