In Islamic history, about 1365 years ago, on 28th Rajab in Hijri-year 60, when Imam Husain left Medinah to start his journey towards Karbala (Iraq), his mission in his intention was clear.

He did not intend to fight YAZID (then the ruler in syria) to get the rule or throne of the empire over which the Khalifa ruled. The mission of Imam Hussain was to reawaken the spirit of Islam and rekindle the Islamic conscious, which was nearing to extinction by the conduct of MUAWIYAH and his son-YAZID. The justice, the morality and Islamic values, then, were being destroyed gradually by the greed for the land and power of those who became rulers.

Attending the discourse during Moharram about the great struggle of Imam Husain ibn Ali (AS) against Yazid, then ruler in Damascus (Syria) is not only highly desirable but a obligation on every mumin. With limited resources, Imam Husain fought against yazid. It was a battle of true Islam against tyranny in the plains of KARBALA in Iraq. Martyrdom of Imam Husain was not for the power but it was for human dignity, liberty and preserving true values of Islam.

Majlis-e-Husain (AS), one which is by the raza of the Dai of Imam Husain, is the only right place to revive the memory of Imam Hussain and to shed the tears in his memory. For the spiritual source, the place of Majlis is a proper venue for the all mumineen. It informs, inspire, instruct and enlighten the attendees of the majlis, on listening Zikr/Wa'az about "Ahl-e-Bayt", Aimmat Tahereen (AS), Duat Mutlaqeen, and Quran/Hadith al-Nabawi and Shariat Garra'a which resurrect the spirit of Islam and the message of the Holy Quran.

The Majalis of Aza provides the platform for unity, source of friendship/bond and a vessel to collect the Islamic knowledge and the Ilm of Ale Mohammed (AS). The Majlis is an important part of religious and deeni affairs since it offers the healthy food to the soul and mind to nourish spiritually, morally and intellectually. Such a food is an important supplement to our food, required for the physical existence as a human being.

In the Majlis-e-Hussain, it is highly demanding to remember that the Gham-e-Husain or Maatam-e-Hussain is not a mere ritual but it is a COMMITMENT to Imam Husain (AS), an obligation and neccesity on every existing being. The commitment by which all Mumineen pledge to uphold the values of Islam, to subordinate our hearts to the wishes of Imam Hussain, to join our Mushfiq-Bawa Aqa Moula His Holiness Dr. Mohammed Burhanuddin Sajeb (tus) for his call of "Maatam-e-Hussain" and to follow his Hidayat (Guidance/advice) to become a good human being, a good Bohra and good Mumineen to lead a dignified, good life in present days' civic society and in the hereafter.

It is incumbant on every mumin to attend the majalis of aza and waaz in proper attire (Libas-e-Anwar) and being punctual uploading the lofty status and dignity of these auspicious days of Imam Husain (AS).

May Allah Subhanahu grant us the tawfeeq to attain the barakaat of the Dua of Aqa Moula (tus) by performing the maatam of Imam Husain (AS), puctually attending the Majalis-e-Waaz and sheding tears in huzn of Imam Husain (AS).

May Allah bless our beloved Moula (tus) with a long life in the pink of health for the Zikr of Imam Husain (AS) and Ahle bayt (AS). Ameen
