Salaam-e-Jameel,

Zikra is a miqat much anticipated by Abna-al Jamea as well as Mumineen, the waaz mubarak marks the beginning of the barakaat of the annual Imtehan of al-Jamea and is in remembrance of the ehsanaat of Syedna Taher Saifuddin (RA).
Mumineen in their tens of thousands were present in Masjid al-Moazzam and around the Jamea Saifiyah Complex awaiting the arrival of Huzurala (TUS) and attain his shafa’at (intercession) for both worldly and spiritual bounties.
Huzurala (TUS) addressed Mumineen by calling us the Shia of Amirul Mumineen (sa), the ghulaam of Fatema (AS) and the matam-dar of Imam Husain (AS). Huzurala (TUS) explained that Mumineen have the shafa’at hasana of their Mawali Kiram in this world and hereafter.

Huzurala (TUS) described that Mumineen had traveled long distances just to do his deedar and narrated the incident of Ziyad al-Aswad who had reached the Hazarat of Imam Mohammed al-Baqir (AS) in a state in which his feet were bleeding due to the long walk. Huzurala (TUS) pointed out that when Imam Baqir AS) saw the feet of Ziyad, he wept and tears rolled down. It reminded him of the tough journey of Imam Ali Zainul Abideen (AS) from Karbala while he walked bare footed in chains and the enemies used to poke him with spears if he would try to remove thorns that had pricked him. Imam Baqir said to Ziyad that Deen is nothing but Hubb, thrice. Similarly Imam (AS) had addressed Mumineen saying that Wallahe la’nashfa’anna. The sentence has three assurances. It points to the shafa’at of Nabi, Wasi and Aemmat and their duat during their seclusion. Huzurala (TUS) declared that “I am present amongst you for your shafa’at.”
During the waaz Huzurala (TUS) descried that none can write/copy a kitab of dawat without raza, similarly no one can scribe the scripts of ilm on the souls of Mumineen without raza from Daiz Zaman. “Man zallazi yashfao illa be iznehi”, who can intercept without the raza Allah’s raza. Another point in this ayat is that shafa’at is only for those who are the shia of Amirul Mumineen who is the uzun wa’eya.
Huzurala (TUS) during this bayan took ehad of all Mumineen and Khidmat Guzaars that our amal and khidmat will always be in line of the ridha, happiness and joy of our Maula (TUS). Saying this Mumineen pledged their oath saying naam.
Huzurala (TUS) narrated the shafa’at of Molatena Fatema (TUS) and her tears. He pointed out that Fatema (AS) did wasiyat that she be buried at night and one of the hikmat was that the bottle of her tears be safe. She was told not to weep after the wafat of Rasulallah (SA) for the very reason that he knew that her tears meant the shafa’at of Mumineen.

Huzurala (TUS) narrated the riwayat of matam of Imam Husain (AS) in hashr.

Al-Shafee’o janahut talib (the interceder is the wings of the seeker) – Huzurala (TUS) pointed out the incident of Molana Jafer al-Tayyar (as) who was told by his father Molana Abu Talib (TUS) to join Rasulallah (SA) in namaaz. Jafar was martyred in Muta and Allah has blessed him with wings (Janah) in Jannat. A Mumin needs the Mohabbat of Mawali Tahireen (AS) to fly with the wings of ilm (knowledge) and amal (action).
Huzurala (TUS) narrated the riwayat of the angel Fitris whose wings were rendered powerless but by the shafa’at of Imam Husain (as) he recovered his strength.

Huzurala (TUS) narrated the riwayat of Jabir and the dried tree which was nourished by Jabir’s hands by the raza and farman of Amirul Mumineen (AS). The Dai is akin to Jabir who does the jabr (rejoining) of the kasr (break) in the souls of Mumineen.

Huzurala (TUS) pointed out that it is the mojeza of Awliyaullah that the non-living can also speak and the tree spoke to Jabir by the barakat of the raza of Amirul Mumineen (AS). This mojeza has similarity with the one shown by Rasulallah (SA) in which the trees came towards him to bear witness of his nubuwat (prophethood). Similarly the Dai has the shaan of Masih al-Zaman.
Huzurala (TUS) narrated the shahadat of Imam Husain (AS) with much pain and sorrow after reciting the shahadat of Molana Abbas (as), Molana Aliakbar (as) and Molana Aliasgar (AS). During the zikr of Shahadat of Molana Aliasgar (AS), Huzurala (TUS) pointed out how the shafa’at of Imam Husain (AS) in burying Molana Aliasgar (AS) and pointed that misk is light weight (khafifun hamloho wa aterun reehohu), Molana Aliasgar was 6 month old and his weight would have been so less.
During the shahadat of Imam Husain (AS), Huzurala (TUS) pointed out that laeen shimr kicked Imam Husain (AS) on the head with his iron-clad feet and narrated the entire shahadat.
The waaz ended at around 3:45 with everyone overwhelmed with the barakaat showered by Aqa Maula (TUS).
May Allah Subhanahu bless Aqa Maula (TUS) with a long life ba-sehato Afiyat. Ameen

Wassalaam,

Juzar Shk Yusuf bhai
