The Month of Milads

'You are Tayyib you are Taher. Your noor shines amongst the people.'

(Syedna Taher Saifuddin)

This article was written by Ra'sul Hududil Mayameen Janab Syedi Aziz Bhaisaheb Qutbuddin in 2017.

The month of Rabiul Aakhar is indeed the month of Milads: the Milad of Imam-uz-Zaman on the 4^th and the Milad of three Dais, the 52^nd, 53^rd and 54^th Dai-z-zaman TUS (20^th, 29^th and 26^th Rabiul Aakhar respectively). The flow of barakaat continues from the beginning of the month right until the end.

In 1437H, Syedna Qutbuddin RA delivered his very last bayaan on the occasion of his Milad in Bakersfield, California. Excerpts of the bayaan’s audio recording were published here on Fatemidawat.com. In that bayaan, Syedna Qutbuddin said that it was his 79^th Milad and bestowed priceless doa for Mumineen. He then stated, “my most radiant son Taher, his birthday is on the 26^th of this month, between the Milad of two Dais, the 52^nd and the 53^rd. He received both barakaat. I am also celebrating that occasion.”

الولد الاغر طاهر اهنو 26 مي ولادة چھے، آ مهينه ني، بيوے داعي نا ميلاد نا درميان، 52 ما داعي نے 53 ما داعي، بيوے بركة ملي، يه مسرة بهي مناؤ چهوں،

Today we understand the full meaning of Syedna Qutbuddin’s words - he was not only celebrating the birthday of his son, but he was demonstrating his nazaraat on his successor. He was alluding to his high station and the confluence of the barakat of the Milads and personas of the 52^nd and 53^rd Dai in his son and successor, Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS.

As we celebrate 50 years of Syedna Fakhruddin’s life between the two auspicious Milads, we pause to remember the benevolence of the 52^nd and 53^rd Dais. We rejoice in the presence of their successor in our midst and pray that as we are celebrating the 50 years of his life this year, may we and our children and our children’s children, one day celebrate 100 years of his life. May the barakaat of the Du’aat Mutlaqeen, especially the 52^nd and 53^rd Dais, continue to flow to us through their true successor, the 54^th Dai al-Mutlaq Syedna Taher Fakhruddin.

We also pray, that as we are celebrating Syedna’s Takht Nashini on the joyous occasion of his Milad, may we very soon celebrate Syedna’s Fath-e-Mubeen.
