Strengthening the pillars of 'Ibaadaat with Namaaz e Imaamat and making it firm with the Razaa Mubaarak of Haatim ul Khayraat, Rabi' ul Barakaat Dr. Saiyedna Haatim Zakiyuddin saheb TUS, the qaafilah "al-'Ateeq" headed by Siqat ud Da'wat il 'Alaviyah Mukaasir ud Da'wat Saiyedi Mohammad Bhaisaheb Nuruddin saheb DM along with 84 mumineen-muminaat completed with fath o nasr the ziyaaraat e muqaddasaat of Misr mubaarak coupled with 'Umrah Mufradah. It was a 19 days program that started from 19 Rabi' II till 10 Jumaadi I 1445 where qaafilah first visited the maqaamaat of Misr (al-Qaahirah al-Mo'izziyah, Egypt).
The splendor, magnanimity and architectural marvel of our A'immat e Faatemiyeen AS (Fatimid dynasty) is evident in every nook and corner of Old Cairo city. The unique gleaming jewel of the crown of Cairo ziyaaraat is the Zareeh e anwar of Ra's ul Imaam il Husain AS. During the time of the 19th Faatemi Imaam Maulaana Ahmad al-Musta'ali AS, in 491 AH/1098 AD, vizier al-Afzal Shahenshah by the Imaami orders transferred Ra's ul Imaam il Husain AS from Asqalaan to Cairo and finally buried it near the quboor-graves of A'immat e Faatemiyeen AS known as Baab ul Faraadis. The place of Baab ul Faraadis adjacent to Ra's ul Imaam il Husain AS is the resting place of the Faatemi Imaams from 7th Imaam Maulaana Mohammad ash-Shaakir AS till the 20th Imaam Maulaana Mansoor al-Aamir AS.
Mukaasir Maulaa said that,
"Every Husaini mu'min should first visit this Rawzah of Ra's ul Imaam il Husain AS and then go to Karbalaa. Without this, the ziyaarat of the Rawzah Husainiyah at Karbalaa stands incomplete as the head is more important than its body. The recognition of the body depends on its head."
By getting the barakaat of this ziyaarat, mumineen visited the rawzah of Maulaatona Zainab and Ruqaiyah (sisters of Imaam Husain AS), Maulaatona Nafisah (grand-daughter of Imaam Hasan AS), Maulaana Mohammad bin Abi Bakr and Maulaana Maalik al-Ashtar AS (staunch believer of Maulaana Ali Ameer ul Mumineen AS), Nabi Daaniyaal, Luqmaan and Zulqarnain AS in Alexandria.
Today old Cairo city boasts of the heritage treasure and living Islamic architectural wonders that are intact and alive even after the span of 11 centuries. The fath o zafar of A'immat e Faatemiyeen AS began with the conquest of Cairo and the grand entry of 14th Faatemi Imaam Maulaana Ma'ad al-Mo'iz AS on 5th Ramazaan 362 AH/8th June 973 AD, through the great gate named Baab ul Futooh. From 358 AH/969 AD till 495 AH/1102 AD, the gates, walls, palaces, mosques, madrasahs, educational centres, courts, gardens, lakes, streets, graveyards, mehrabs, markets etc. that were built still stands unfazed by the natural calamities and has now become unique identity of Cairo's diversified cultural heritage.
The arkaan, hudood and aa'maal of 'Umrah Mufradah will be fondly remembered by mumineen as tawaaf were done at the best possible way closer to Ka'batullaah, Namaaz e Imaamat in the place opposite to Mustajaar (Rukn e Yamaani), Namaaz of Nisfillayl and Tahajjud, Namaaz e Imaamat in Masjid e Nabawi, Balaagh between Zohr and 'Asr namaaz and also at night, Tilaawat of Yaa-Seen in Jannat ul Baqi', Namaaz at Masjid e Qubaa, Majlis and Faatehah-khwaani etc. Mumineen took sharaf of doing 2 ‘Umrah, one was from watan and the other from Taa’if, Qarn miqaat at the beginning of the month Jumaadi ul Ulaa. |
