Majlis at the Island

After Chehlum, the first Sunday has been reserved by Mr. Shakeel for a Majlis & Matam at his residence in Mudh Island. One has to cross over the creek by ferry from Versova who charge Rs. 2/- per trip. Majlis started late as Hujjatul Islam Maulana Sayed Zeeshan Haider Zaidi had to come from Bandra Jame' Masjid after reciting one over there.
Before his Majlis there was namaaz with jama't. Mahdi Jaunpuri took over the microphone and read many salaams and nauhas followed by Roshan Rizvi reciting in his sad and sorrowful voice the famous salaam "Ghabraigi Zainab."
Maulana Zeeshan took full one hour for his majlis. After Majlis, 'Anjuman-e-Imamia' who came all the way from Bhendi Bazar by private bus, did seenazani and recited 3 nauhas.
The programme was over after niyaz.

Majlis, Nauha & Matam in the City

Yesterday, Mumbai city witnessed lots of Azadari activities in different areas, from Dongri in South to Vasai Road in the North. Majalis for ladies & gents. Tabut, Juloos, Khandaq, Shabbedaari etc etc. It was the busiest Saturday for the lovers of Imam Husain (a.s.). Every where there was mourning, nauha, matam, masaeb.
But, one of the best masaeb was at Zainabia Imambada. Maulana Ghazanfar Abbas was at his best in Masaeb. He recited Majlis for about 2 hrs in which the masaeb were of 17.30 minutes. The crowd spilled over the street. A huge screen was put up for those who could not get a place inside the hall.
The night resembled to the Aashur one. The masaeb of Imam Husain (a.s.) when he was slaughtered thirsty by Shimr (curse of Allah upon him and his supporters). There was a lot of wailing by the crowd. There was not a single eye which did not had tears in it.
I have uploaded that particular masaeb for you to listen. The quality of video is weak, but, the audio one is fine. The file is big, it may take sometime to open. But, its worth waiting.
