Hamd | Praise & Gratitude – Syedna’s TUS Bayan Mubarak On His 59th Milad

Bayan Mubarak

Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS began his bayan mubarak on the joyous occasion of his 59th Milad by reciting phrases of praise of God, Hamd, and salawaat upon Rasulullah SA and the Imams in his progeny, from Syedna Taher Saifuddin’s RA risalat (Ramadan treatise).

Syedna’s TUS bayan centered around Hamd, praise and gratitude to Allah. Indeed, the first surat of the Qur’an is Suratul Hamd, the first ayat of which emphatically declares: الحمد لله رب العالمين, “All praise and gratitude is for Allah, Lord of the worlds”. Syedna TUS explained the deep meanings encompassed in this short but weighty ayat, expanding on how it references the first creation, the events that transpired leading to the creation of this world, and the continuation of the silsila of Imams, and Duat during their concealment.

Syedna TUS advised Mumineen to live a life of gratitude, praising God, worshiping Him, and seeking closeness to Him by the intercession of His Awliya’ Kiraam. He said that every Mumin, on his birthday, should remember God’s blessings upon him and give thanks and gratitude. Syedna TUS referenced Imam Ali Zaynul Abideen’s SA supplications in which he praises and gives thanks to God for the smallest of blessings and even in times of sickness.

Syedna TUS narrated a unique hikayat from the Ikhwanus Safa recounting a conversation between a Naaji (one who will attain salvation) and a Haalik (one who will fall to perdition), explaining the true meaning of belief (imaan) and conviction (yaqeen), as well as the outlook a Mumin should have on his life. Syedna TUS also announced the intention of Anjuman-e-Fatemi, North America, to build a Masjid in the USA. Syedna prayed for the completion of this project and contributed $54,000, taqarruban ilallah - seeking closeness to Allah. Syedna concluded his bayan by showering Mumineen with the pearls of his doa, both for those who had gathered in America as well as Mumineen living in aalam-e-imaan, all across the globe.

Activities Program

All Mumineen then had the opportunity to araz tehniyaat directly to Aqa Maula TUS in person and via online conferencing. Anjuman-e-Fatemi, North America received the honor of hosting their first Ziafat of Syedna TUS on this joyous occasion. In India, a sports program was held for Mumineen and Muminaat respectively. Mumineen enjoyed a bright and sunny morning of cricket filled with laughter, competition, and brotherhood. Mumineen were fortunate to have Mukasir-e-Dawat Syedi Husain Bhaisaheb Burhanuddin AAB grace the occasion, in which he recalled Rasulullah’s SA hadith saying that we gain hasanaat when people of mohabbat meet, and supplicated Allah Ta’ala to preserve this atmosphere of brotherhood and mohabbat. Muminaat bairao enjoyed a morning of board games, throw-ball, badminton, and yoga. Photos of these fun activities may be viewed here.

'Words of Wisdom Vol. II'

We were also pleased to release ‘Words of Wisdom Vol. II’ – a compilation of 59 Dawat ni Zaban, English, and Arabic quotes from the treasure trove of Syedna’s TUS bayans, waaz, and majalis on this auspicious occasion of his 59th Milad Mubarak.

May Allah Ta’ala preserve Aqa Maula TUS Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS in good health till the day of qiyamat, and may Mumineen continue to partake imamiyyah barakaat in his cool, fatherly shade. Ameen.
