20-04-1445 - Kun fa-Yakoon 3 Ziyaaraat of Karbalaa-Najaf : Ra's ul Hudood saheb
Manzar of Masjid e Kufah after Fajr Namaaz
Rasoolullaah SAWS has said "Karbalaa is the piece of land of Paradise". Hence Ziyaarat of Karbalaa is not merely doing Ziyaarat but a feeling that one had landed on the land of Jannat. Ra’s ul Hudood saheb among the Mumineen added that doing Ziyaarat of Karbalaa is doing the Ziyaarat of Khamsat ul Athaar AS because Rasoolullaah SAWS has said that, “Whoever does my Ziyaarat after my death is like the one who met me during my lifetime.” He added the Hadees of Rasoolullaah SAWS that, "Whoever went to Makkah and did not visit Madeenah has indeed done injustice to me". The same stands true for the Ziyaarat of Karbalaa and Najaf.

This is the largest group of Zaa'ereen ever formed for Karbalaa e Mo'allaa tour.

In the Du’aa for Wadaa’, Aqaa Maulaa said that, “You are visiting that place which is the holiest and it is a piece of land of Jannat. It is the place of sacrifice and endurance. It is the centre of Malaa’ikat e Roohaaniyeen, where no Du’aa remains unheard and unaccepted. The Shart is that it should be with pure intention, devotional heart and tearful eyes. You are very Naseebdaar that, Mukaasir saheb is accompanying you and he will sure make you perform and carry out all the rituals, rusoomaat, du’aa, aadaab, arkaan of Ziyaaraat in the most rightful way. There remains no point of worry as every namaaz and majlis will take place at right place, time and tariqat. May the Barakaat of Rawzah Alaviyah and Rawzah Husainiyah descend upon you all and make your deen o duniyaa nooraani and qudsaani.”
Aqaa Maulaa Saiyedna saheb (tus) gave Razaa to Shahzada Sa’eed ul Khayr Bhaisaheb (dm) to lead and head the group of 70 mumineen-muminaat named “Misbaah ul-Hudaa” going for the Ziyaaraat Muqaddasaat of Karbalaa-Najaf-Kufah.

With the Imaamat Namaaz of Maghrib and ‘Ishaa, Aqaa Maulaa addressed the Zaa’ereen and said that, “You are going to the Land of Jannat, the Saheb of Jannat Imaam Husain (as) is beckoning you from Aalam-e-Ruhaani that, O Mumineen! Come and meet me, every penny you spend in coming to meet me, I will sure bestow you with the beauties of reward when I will welcome you to Kawsar.” “O Mumineen! Aal-e-Husain, Khaak-e-Husain and Du’aa-e-Husain are the most revered sources of Shifaa for us. Allaah Ta’aala has given you this best opportunity to fulfil your Haajaat with Shifaa and Barakat.”
Majlis-e-Wadaa’ for the Zaa’ereen of Karbalaa-Najaf-Misr was held at Daar-us-Salaam in the auspicious presence of Aqaa Maulaa on 23rd Rajab 1439/8-4-2018, Sunday, after Namaaz-e-Maghrib. This safar-e-mubaarak will insha-allaah begin from the 1st Sha’baan. Aqaa Maulaa granted Razaa to Ra’s ul-Hudood Zulqarnain Hakimuddin saheb (zi) and gave the mubaarak name of this group as “Kun fa-Yakoon”. Nearly 75 mumineen have joined this group for Karbalaa-Najaf from which half of them will proceed for the Ziyaaraat of Misr-e-Azhar.
Before maghrib Namaaz, Mukaasir Maulaa gave necessary hidaayaat and guidance for the aadaab of Ziyaarat, as to how mumineen should prepare themselves and maintain purity, how they should offer Namaaz-e-wasilah, how they enter Rawzah, what are the minimum du’aas that a zaa’ir should recite, how to safeguard the unity and dignity of the group, how to participate in all the majaalis headed by Ra’s ul-Hudood saheb, how to utilize time in knowing the history and sacrifice of saheb-e-Qabr, etc.
Aqaa Maulaa addressed the zaa’ereen and said that, “Allaah Ta’aala has bestowed you a very great and unparallel opportunity for Du’aa and Maghferat. The central figure of all your ziyaaraat is the Ziyaarat of two sahebs, both Shaheed-martyr and the part of Panjatan-e-Paak (as). One is Shaah-e-Najaf and the other is Shaah-e-Karbalaa. Both have sacrificed their lives while doing ‘Ibaadat. One is Mushkil Kushaa Ali al-Murtazaa (as) and another is Saiyed ush-Shohadaa Imaam Husain (as). You need not to bother much about the whereabouts of the ziyaarat as saheb-e-Da’wat is with you. Follow his instructions and you will get proper inputs at proper place. We would make efforts that every year a qaafelah for ‘Umrah Mufradah and also for Karbalaa get organized and presided by saheb-e-Razaa, in order to ease the aamaal of ziyaarat and arkaan. al-Qaaherat ul-Mo’izziyah (Cairo) in Misr is the architectural zenith of our A’immat-e-Faatemiyeen (as). You will witness its grandeur and magnificence apart of the ziyaarat of Ra’s ul-Husain and Maulaatona Zainab (as).”
Mukaasir Maulaa Saiyedi Mohammad Nuruddin saheb (dm) along with 90 mumineen-muminaat is going on the Ziyaaraat e Muqaddasaat, 'Atabaat e 'Aaliyaat, Jannaat e Taiyebaat, Rawzaat e Baaqiyaat and Ne'maat e Baahiraat in Karbalaa e Mo'allaa and Najaf e Ashraf on the Pehli Raat of Sha'baan ul Kareem 1438/26-4-2017, for 10 days and Misr Mubaarak al-Qaaherah al-Mo'izziyah along with 12 zaa'ereen for 6 days.

In this Nooraani gathering Aqaa Maulaa said that, "O Mumineen! Today I am very pleased to see you here and have come for my Qadam-bosi and Du'aa. In these years due to the Barakaat of Muqaddas Maulaa many many mumineen are spending their Paak Daulat for 'Umrah and Karbalaa. You are of baland-qismat that you are visiting the mubaarak places which are the Maqaam of Wilaadat or Intiqaal of Panjatan e Paak (as). The memories of these places, days and nights will always remain fresh in your minds till your death and will remind you to take noble path guided by the Noor and Rahmat of the Seerat of Panjatan e Paak (as). Wherever you go, do remember the Fayz and Shifaa of Khaak, Du'aa and Aal of Maulaana Imaam Husain (as)."

Huzoor-e-‘Aali Saiyedna saheb (tus) said that,
“Maulaana Imaam Husain (as) is the Fifth in Panjatan-e-Paak (as) and he is the Majma’ of all five of them. He is the Saheb of Shifaa, Du’aa and Aal. He himself is Shifaa, so is his Zikr, Shahaadat, Maatam, Ziyaarat, Aal and Khaak. It is forbidden for us to take Khaak on our tongue but being the Shi’ah and Mumin of Imaam Husain (as) we can only get Shifaa from our sickness and hardships when we make Khaak-e-Karbalaa and Zikr-e-Husain as our medicine and nuskhah. Think that this is your first and last visit to Karbalaa, don’t waste your time in unnecessary things. Do Ziyaarat as many times as you can, recite Qur’an, read Sahifah, offer Namaaz on time, do tasbeeh, remember those people who came to you and did request for Du’aa, do waseelah and iltijaa near the Zareeh so that those mumineen who have never being to Karbalaa, may Allaah Ta’aala make wasaa’il for them for Ziyaarat.”
Mulla Ibrahimbhai Ameeruddin Maulvi was granted Razaa to guide mumineen in Ziyaarat, Recitation of Du’aas and doing Imaamat in Farz Namaaz. Since years he is in the khidmat of Da’wat e Shareefah and he is well versed in the Qir’aat of Mukhtalif Ad’eyah.
