Date: 10 th Jamadil Ukhra, H. 1421 : 9 th September, 2000

Huzurala Syedna va Maulana Abul Qaid Johar Mohammed Burhanuddin Saheb(TUS) is known for showering umpteen Barakaat on Mumineen at every occasion.

On this pleasant day of Jamadil Ukhra, when the sun shone in all its splendour, the humble Araz of thousands of Badri Mohalla-Mumbai’s Mumineen was accepted by their Aqa Maula(TUS), who descended in this Mohalla like a Farishta, and showered Barakaat and Nemat, on this Mumin group of South Mumbai, and left in them an unbelievable memory, which will be cherished by them, for generations to come.

The preparations started on a well-planned precision-like manner, from 4 th Sept, when Aaamil Saheb-Shaikh Khuzeimabhai Yamani, shared the Bushra Akhbar, of Aqa Maula (TUS), accepting the humble Araz of Kadambosi and Ziyafat in our Mohalla on 9 th Sept, 2000.

A special stage was erected in the Masjid, with the back-drop of a photograph of Badri Mahal, which was inscribed with Noorani Kalemat. The Masjid and the adjoining street was decorated beautifully, with arches, lights and flowers, to celebrate the August occasion.

Mumineen, Mumenaat and Farzando, started to arrive from 9 am, at the Masjid and were guided into their respective areas by Khidmatguzaars, who were given clear instructions by Janab Sahab, to treat everyone with utmost respect, humility and care.

AQA MAULA(TUS)’S ARRIVAL:

Aqa Maula(TUS) arrived at 11:25 am, and was welcomed by drumbeats of the Naval Band. After a red carpet welcome, amidst the showering of petals by children, Aqa Maula(TUS), performed Ziyarat of Seth Chandabhai and Janab Shaikh Ebrahimbhai Yamani, and thereafter proceeded to his office in Badri Mahal.

The Mumbai Police Commissioner- M N Singh Esq., met Aqa Maula(TUS) in the office, and conveyed his good wishes. He was very impressed with the elite, disciplined gathering of Mumineen who had assembled to receive their beloved Aqa Maula(TUS). After the meeting with the Commissioner, Aqa Maula arrived in the Badri Mahal Masjid, at 12:00 noon.
