SIJILL A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER OF FATEMIDAWAT.COM
His awliya’, dedicating time to his worship, seeking knowledge, serving Dawat, being good human beings, helping our brothers in humanity – that is what elevates our souls and brings us closer to our mawali tahereen and, through them, closer to Allah Ta’ala. Our purity and sincerity in all this truly brings us closer to Him. Me’raj refers to Rasulullah’s ascension to the Heavens. It is our walaayat, and the deeds that accompany it, that ensure our ascension to higher plains of purity and spirituality in this world and the ascension to the Heavens in the Hereafter (Ma’arij al-su’ud). We offer praise to Allah Ta’ala and thanks that we are close to Him and close to Hisawliya’ through closeness to His Dai, Syedna Khuzaima Qutbuddin TUS. May Allah Ta’ala grant us the tawfeeq and guidance to emulate Syedna’s example so that we may become ever closer to Him.
NEWS & EVENTS: Mab’as Waaz Bayaan Excerpt Video & Photos Syedna Qutbuddin TUS presided the Mab’as waaz in Darus Sakina at 5pm. Mumineen gathered received the barakaat of the ‘ilm and knowledge of Aale Mohammed. We are pleased to present an 11 minute video excerpt from the bayaan.
This is a written glimpse of Syedna’s waaz Mubarak: Syedna TUS explained the depth of meaning in Rasulullah’s SA name,
Issue 67
“Mohammed”. Literally, the name means, “one who is always praised.” Rasulullah’sSA virtues were such that he was always praised. In the Qur’an Majeed Allah Ta’ala praises Rasulullah SA as, “one who has a great character” (innaka la’ala khuluqin azeem – Surat al-Qalam:4). When Rasulullah SA established Islam, he drew people close to him by his good nature and character (the bayaan video excerpt presented includes this section). Syedna then explained the meaning and reference of each of the letters of Rasulullah’s SA name. The name Mohammed contains the secrets of the entirety of Rasulullah’s SA era. Syedna Qutbuddin TUS then narrated some of the details of Rasulullah’s SA Mab’as (deployment as Prophet) and one of the reason’s that this took place on the 27th of Rajab. He also narrated the events of Isra’ (the night journey from Makka to Baitul Muqaddas in Ruhaniyyat) and Me’raj (ascension through the seven Heavens). Syedna TUS also explained the esoteric meaning (tawil) of Isra’. He also narrated the zikar of Imam Ali’s SA shaan on the night of Me’raj, the zikar of an angel (farishta) who demonstrated the Azaan to Rasulullah SAand the zikar of the two palaces (haweli) that Rasulullah SA saw and which Jibraeel explained as the palace of Imam Hasan and Imam Husain SA. Towards the end of the bayaan, Syedna prayed a bayt from “Ya Sayyidash-shuhadaai” and taking the wasila of Panjetan, Aimmat and Du’aat beseeched doa for mumineen, muminaat and their children. Syedna beseeched doa for the fulfillment of mumineen’s wishes, for their livelihood (rozi) in this world and the Hereafter and for the Hifazat of Imam-uzzaman’s SA Dawat (the bayaan video excerpt presented includes this section

also). Syedna concluded the bayaan with a recitation of the Shahaadat of Imam Husain SA. May Allah Ta’ala grant longest life to Aqamaula TUS to continue to bestow Mumineen with the barakaat of ‘Ilm of Aale Mohammed and his priceless doa. We also pray on the occasion of Mab’as for the health and wellbeing of Busaheba Sakina Aaisaheba who, as has been her practice for many years, completed the entire Qur’an Majeed Khatam on Mab’as day. She does so because Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA had once done this. Photos of the Waaz Majlis are posted on Fatemidawat.com.
