Zohr/Asar namaaz began at around 1.30 with wasila of Awliyaullah, dua for Mumineen and purjosh matam. Molana then sat for pehli tarikh majlis in which Shahzada sahebo and Aayaanul Jamaat had the sharaf of qadambosi. Molana initially rendered a short bayaan before calling for the mic again and delivering a remarkable, seemingly improptu bayaan and dua on behalf of the assembled Mumineen. Molana began with the most heartfelt and heart-warming dua on behalf of the assembled Mumineen stating, "Mamluke Aale Mohammed, Imamul zamaan's ghulam, Imamul zamaan's Dai; today i am in your city, London to do dua for you. I do dua anyway but here amongst you, in your masjid, seeing the vigour of your mohabbat, the enthusiasm of your devotion I beseech dua on your behalf. In this mubarak day, the month of 'bushra', Jamadil Aakher's first day I do dua....."

Following this Molana relived the recent historic and barakaat filled safar, recalling the various 'atabaat aaliyaat' (places of loftiness) that he had visited. He spoke of the long stay in Najaf and Kufa the ziyarat of Molana Ali (a.s.) and the iftitah of the zarih mubarak and masjid. Molana spoke of the ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) and Molana Abbas (a.s.) and rendered both their shahadat at length. He spoke of the dakhli in both their harams and especially of the dakhli to the lower floor of Molana Abbas's qabr where the qabr has been built by Aqamola and where the waters of Furaat flow; Molana mentioned that he drank from it and sprinkled some on his body.

Molana then spoke of the ziyarat of Misr and how he then decided that it was appropriate to do the ziyarat of Duaat Mutlaqeen in Yemen (r.a.).

Molana recalled the Waaz in Arabi on the day of his Milaad in Hutaib Mubarak excerpt of which he gave raza to broadcast later in Bilaad-e-Imaaniyah. Molana retold the various ziyarat of Yemen relating the aayat of the Quran "Wa raf`anaho makaanan aliyya", which is in the zikr of Idris Nabi (a..s.), to Syedna Idris Imaduddin (r.a.) whom he described as being of no lesser status than nabi Idris. ( The aayat means, "And we elevated him to a lofty place.") Syedna Idris's qabr mubarak is on the hilltop of Shibaam.

As Molana spoke of the ziyarat he made special mention of the fact that his manner of ziyarat everywhere was the same, first a sajda on behalf of Syedna Taher Saifuddin (r.a.), then on his own behalf and then on behalf of Mumineen.

Aqamola acknowledged the t`abbudaat aamaal that had taken place over the

milaad period worldwide asking that these aamaal be accepted by Allah t`aala.  Molana gave a bequest of £91 052 to the Burhani Qardan Hasana Scheme operated by the Saifee Foundation of Europe. Molana described the activities of the scheme and did dua on behalf of the trustees. He hoped it would continue to aid Mumineen, particularly to start or enhance businesses, so that many more could enjoy the barakat that others who have previously used the scheme are already seeing. (The scheme considers applications for qardan hasana on the first Monday of each Christian calendar month and distributes funds for business, education and many other purposes. For more information phone 0207 792 4440). 

After the bayaan maqdam majlis took place before Molana proceeded for Busaheba's ziyarat and then retired to his room above the masjid. Molana returned for the qadambosi bethak at just before 5 in the evening. The bethak began with two ziyafats and two nikahs, one groom and one bride from London, one groom from Leicester and the second bride from Dubai. 

In the ensuing 3 hours Molana remained seated while an estimated 1000 Mumineen (gents) had the sharaf of qadambosi. In particular Mumineen had the special sharaf of being amongst the very first to offer 'taqarrobaat' towards the building of the new qubba mubaraka of Syedna Hatim (r.a.) in Yemen. Under the guidance of Shahzada Qaidjoher bhaisaheb Ezzuddin (dm) specially prepared envelopes of varying units had been distributed to the Mumineen of London and the U.K. and also to mehmaan allowing everyone from young children onwards to contribute and partake of the barakaat of this building.

The bethak ended around 8pm and from there Molana had a tour of the photographic exhibition prepared around the recent ziyarat journey. Molana took quite an interest in the various photographs especially those of the Bismillah's of Duaat Mutlaqeen, including Molana's own, that are set in Molana Ali's shahadat mehraab. Molana again called for the mic and recalled his ziyarat of Damascus (Maqame Raasil Imamil Husain, Raoos ul Shohada (a.s.) and of Molana Jaferul Tayyaar in Amman (Jordan). Molana elaborated on Molana Jaferul Tayyaar's (a.s.) zikr including the mention of his return from Abyssinia which coincided with the capture of Khaybar and to which Rasulallah (s.a.) said, "I don't know which of the two has made me happier, the capture of Khaybar or the return of Jafer!" 

The barakaat, s'aadaat and n'emat filled day ended with imamat maghrib/isha namaaz after which Molana-l-min'aam returned to his London residence.

Aqamola has gracefully granted the sharaf of ladies' ziyafat and bethak on Sunday followed by ziyafat by Fayze Husayni International Trust.

May Allah t`aala grant our beloved Aqa and Mola sehat and aafiyat and long life till Qiyamat and that we may continue to enjoy the talaqqi of his mubarak dua as may our children and their children thereafter.
