Shehzada Dr Aziz Bhaisaheb Umrah, Medina, and Misr Safar | Safar 1444H (September 2022)

With the raza and doa mubarak of Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS, al-Syed al-Ajal Shehzada Dr. Aziz Bhaisaheb Qutbuddin performed Umrah in Mecca, ziarat in Medina and ziarat of Imam Husain Raas Mubarak in Misr (Cairo), Egypt. Mumineen from all over the world - including India, the UAE, and the US - the youngest aged 15 and the oldest aged 90, obtained the barakat of performing Umrah and the ziarat of Raas-ul-Hussain AS with Shehzada Aziz Bhaisaheb.

In the Milad-un-Nabi broadcast, Shehzada Aziz Bhaisaheb narrated about this safar (30 second excerpt published here, for more details including summary and photos of the Bayaan, click here).

In Mecca Shehzada Aziz Bhaisaheb led Mumineen in Imamat Namaz in the Haram Sharif of Baitullah. One Mumin bhai expressed, “The feeling of praying Imamat Namaaz in the house of Allah Ta’ala - the place where Rasulullah SA performed his hijjat al wada - with the raza of the Dai of Rasulallah SA, clad in only 2 pieces of simple white garment and devoid of other worldly possessions was deeply humbling and awe-inspiring.” Another mumin described that he felt no worldly possessions matter anymore, only his actions and deeds in the humble presence of Allah Ta’ala.

After Isha Namaaz, Shehzada Saheb performed Umrah with Mumineen. They prayed while kissing the Hajr-e-Aswad, embracing the Mustajaar and the Multazam, and behind the Maqaam-e-Ibrahim. Shehzada Aziz Bhaisaheb beseeched Allah Ta’ala for the long-life and safety of his Dai, Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS, Nasr-e-Aziz and Fath-e-Mubeen, and shamal (unity) of Mumineen in the cool shade of Dai-z-Zaman. Shehzada Saheb delivered a heart-rending wasilo standing in front of the Multazam and beseeched Allah Ta’ala for his divine aid and offered gratitude for his countless blessings.

Shehzada Aziz Bhaisaheb then led Mumineen during the sa’ye of Safa Marwa, completing the Umrah. Thereafter, Shehzada Aziz Bhaisaheb and Mumineen prayed Tahajjud and Nisful Layl Namaaz. As the early morning Makkah sky started to change color, Shehzada Aziz Bhaisaheb led Mumineen in Imamat Fajr Namaaz.

When they left the Haram Sharif of Baitullah and performed the ritual halq (shaving of their heads), one Mumin bhai described the feeling, “It was the beginning of a bright new morning. And just as a fresh new day brings with it the possibility of new and exciting changes, I felt that the prayers from our night in Baitullah will change our lives forever.”

Mumineen were grateful to be led in sincere prayer in every minute in every hour of the entire night.

Shehzada Aziz Bhaisaheb also performed the misaq of one Mumin bhai, living in Saudi Arabia, while in the cool shade of the Haram Sharif of Baitullah.

In Medina Shehzada Saheb received the blessing of the ziarat of Rasullulah SA in Medina. He led Mumineen in Imamat namaaz in Masjid-un-Nabawi. After they prayed salaam and qasida, Shehzada Aziz Bhaisaheb delivered wasila just a few feet away from the zarih mubarak of Rasulallah SA. Then Shehzada Aziz Bhaisaheb and Mumineen proceeded to Jannat al-Baqi, and performed ziarat of Maulatena Fatema AS, Imam Hasan AS, and Aimmat Tahereen. In his wasila, Shehzada Aziz Bhaisaheb beseeched Allah Ta’ala to safeguard his Dawat just as Allah Ta’ala safeguarded his Dawat and protected the Aimmat Tahireen buried in Jannat al-Baqi from their oppressors.

At every instance, in Makkah and in Madinah, Shehzada Saheb and the Mumineen continued to perform doa for the long life of Syedna Fakhruddin TUS and the welfare of the Dawat and its’ Mumineen, and beseeching Allah Ta’ala that the next time we perform this amal, it is with our Dai al Zaman, Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS مع البيت الى البيت .

In Misr, Shehzada Aziz Bhaisaheb and Mumineen performed the ziarat of Imam Husain’s AS Raas Mubarak in Misr (Cairo), Egypt and also performed the ziarat of Aimmat Tahereen at Baab-al-Mukhallafat next to the zarih of Rasul Husain AS. Shehzada Aziz bhaisaheb led Imamat Namaz in the three Jame’ Masjids of the Fatimid Imams AS: Jame’ Anwar, Jame’ Azhar and Jame’ Aqmar. Mumineen filled their hearts peacefully in all aspects of prayer with barakaat.
