The 6th Waaz is that of Molatena Fatema (a.s.) whose shaadi to Amirul Mumineen (a.s.) is the cause of the salvation of Mumineen. Molatena Fatema is Laylatul Qadr, the night once also referred to as Laylatul Johayni. This was because a man from Johaynah came to ask Rasulallah (s.a.) as to which night he should bring his flocks and family to Madinah in order to pray with him. Rasulallah whispered his answer in the man's ear and from then on it was seen that the Johayni man would come to the masjid on the 23rd eve of Sherullah to spend the night.

Molatena Fatema is the mother of Aimmat Tahereen (s.a.). Her progeny continued through Molatena Sherebanu (a.s.) the princess of Kisra, Emperor of Persia. Umar had sent an army to conquer Persia; the conflict became long and drawn-out and the morale of the Muslims was low. They asked for reinforcements but Umar had none at his disposal. He went to Molana Ali and with utter humility asked him to carry out this conquest for Islam. Molana Ali (a.s) answered Allaho Akbar and stated that Rasulallah (s.a) has foretold that Amirul Mumineen would conquer Persia. When Molana Ali (a.s) reached the Muslim forces in Madain (near Bagdad), the Muslims cried out Allaho Akbar in unison. Kisra inquired about the takbeerah and spies were sent to find out. They reported that there were just four or five men; there was nothing to worry about. However, Kisra felt something deep down and he became downcast he knew that his empire was about to be lost. 

There was a bridge between the two armies, which was in the hands of the enemy. Molana Ali said to the Muslims that either he should take the bridge and they take on the Persian army or, they take the bridge and he take on the army. They chose the second option. Molana Ali conquered Persia and claimed Kisra's crown and took Molatena Sherebanu with him. When he returned to Madinah he gave her the right to choose her groom and she chose Imam Husain (a.s).
Young girls of marriageable age are permitted to go out in search of their livelihood on occasions such as Eid. Livelihood, here, means nikah and in this context Molana explained that girls should be allowed to meet and talk to boys for the possibilities of marriage. They should not be totally prevented from doing so and neither should they over expose themselves losing their self-respect in the process. Molana compared it with salt and sugar; that salt should be added to a dish in the right proportion. If, on the other hand, someone were to, say, add salt to tea instead of sugar it would be awful.

Allah has divided rizq (provision or livelihood) into ten parts of which nine are to be found in business and one in other forms of earning. Bohras are, by their very name, tradesmen, it is in our blood. Hudaat Kiraam have ensured that this be the way. Youngsters should be given labour work such as carrying stock. Starting at the bottom they should be allowed to make their way up until they reach managerial status. Molana encouraged Mumineen to take up trade or industry and become captains in their fields of enterprise.

Mansour Imam (a.s.) had his own enterprises prior to becoming Imam. After becoming Imam his family members found it increasingly difficult to get what they asked for and complained about it that they were better off before. Imam Mansour replied that previously I had only you to think of now I have the entire empire to consider. One should live life without stress. 

Syedna Najmuddin was asked about the many worries he must have to bear. Molana replied that, when he left the bethak room for the night he left the bundles of worries to be opened again the next day.

Molana narrated the miracle of the splitting of the Moon at great length. Habib bin Malik was incited to press Rasulallah for a miracle by Abu Jahl the miracle of the splitting of the Moon. All the people had gathered to watch as Rasulallah prayed and darkness fell everywhere. The massed people became scared as Rasulallah continued his dua mubarak and the Moon rose. Rasulallah called and the Moon came as if running towards him before settling down behind the Kaaba and circling it seven times. It then came before him and split in two halves upon Rasulallah's command, before re-forming. When the miracle had been completed Abu Jahl scoffed that this was just sorcery but Habib bin Malik declared that no it was a certain miracle and he and 600 of his people entered Islam.

Monday is a very mubarak day as Rasulallah states that all of the following took place on a Monday:
1. Rasulallah's birth 
2. Rasulallah's wafaat 
3. Rasulallah's Hijrat 
4. Rasulallah's mab`ath 
5. The wahy (revelation)
6. The revelation of Suratul Maa'idah
7. Rasulallah first entered Madinah
8. The victory at Badr
9. Actions rise up towards Allah which is why this is a day for fasting.


The waaz mubarak concluded with an impassioned retelling of Molatena Fatema's shahadat. It included the heart-wrenching narration of how Molatena Fatema, although having almost no strength left, got up and warmed some water. She mixed cleaning agents into it and bathed Hasan-Husain. She clothed them and mixed some dough to feed them with her own hands knowing that this would be the last meal cooked for them by their mother. One of Molatena Fatema's final wills to Molana Ali was that he marry Umaima, daughter of Molatena Fatema's sister Zainab. This was because she would take good care of her children whilst anyone else might not do so.
Molatena Fatema said to Molana Ali, The children's nurture is still left to be done, it was my obligation fulfill it on my behalf. Rasulallah would not allow them (Hasan-Husain) to walk on the ground; now I am leaving you are the father, you are the mother, you are the grandfather!

Molatena Fatema, took the wasaail of Panjatan Paak for the forgiveness of the sins of Mumineen stating, If I have any hurmat near You, then by that hurmat forgive them.

A call was heard from the Heavens that by your virtue the sins of Mumineen have been forgiven and, upon hearing this, Molatena Fatema's soul departed from her body.
May Allah t`aala grant our beloved Fatemi Dai long life and health to nurture us as our spiritual mother and father ta qiyamat.
Ameen
