In Safar this year SEZ members worldwide were given a bushra that raza had been obtained to commence tayyari for an SEZ International Ziyafat.  A total of 33 SEZ London members have offered khidmat to take part.

The ziyafat misaal directed SEZ members to perform amal with the niyat of  Aqa Moula’s (TUS) tulul-umr and sharaf of ziyafat .  This was organised with a weekly event comprising of 30-minutes matam in Busaheba’s (AQ) gurfah mubarak followed by the recital of duao, including Dua un-Nasre wal-Mahaba, Dua e- Joshan and Surat e-Inna Fatahna.

This activty commenced with the raza of Janab Amilsab, Dr. Idris Bhaisaheb Zainuddin, on Thursday 25th Safar 1430H (19th February 2009).

On the day of Milad-un-Nabi (SA), London had the azeem sharaf of live audio relay of Aqa Moula’s (TUS) waaz mubarak in the presence of Shahzada Aliwaqar Ammar Bhaisaheb Jamaluddin saheb (President of SEZ International).  After waaz relay SEZ members from all over the UK gathered in Busaheba’s (AQ) gurfah mubarak, under Shahzada saheb’s presence, to perform matam and araz for the sharaf of ziyafat.

SEZ London continued to perform matam and duas weekly, more so when we learnt of Huzurala’s (TUS) admission to Saifee Hospital.   Upon hearing this news SEZ members carried out 21 Sadaqah Bakrah with the niyat of Aqa Moula’s  (TUS) tulul-umr, which was performed on behalf of members on Yawm al-Jumoa in Mumbai.

We continue to perform matam and dua in Busaheba’s (AQ) gurfah mubarak with the niyat of Moula’s (TUS) tulul-umr and that our thirst to obtain sharaf of ziyafat is quenched.  May Allah grant our Bawa Shafeeq (TUS) a long and prosperous life till Yawm al-Qiyamat. Ameen!

SEZ London continue to promote sporting activities for all ages, and with this our latest initiative has been to organise Football4Kids.  This takes place every Saturday following Madressa, in Belvue Park, opposite Al-Masjid al-Husainy.  Each 1 hour coaching session gives children from three age groups the opportunity to improve techniques in dribbling, passing, tackling and shooting.

The children taking part were required to register online at the Football4Kids site.  The response has been overwhelming with a limit having to be placed on the number of children who can attend each training session.

SEZ launched the first season of Football4Kids as part of Ayyam al-Ta’abudaat 1430H and will run it until 4th July 2009. Details of the next season will be communicated via this website in the near future.

With the niyat of Shifa-e-Kulli and Tul-ul-Umr of Aqa Moula, Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin Saheb (TUS), SEZ London organised a second walk from Bonham House to Al-Masjid al-Husayni on 12th April 2009, for those mumineen that had the niyat to participate in the first walk but were unable to do so.

Just days before we all received great news that Aqa Moula (TUS), had left Saifee Hospital for Saifee Mahal, and with this kushi no josh we all had an extra spring in our step.

Some participants had already participated in the first walk on 29th March 2009 , which covered the same route.  A total of 25 to 30 people participated in this walk, with the last group taking just under 3.5 hours to complete the 9 mile journey.

Upon arriving at Al-Masjid al-Husainy, Farazdaq Bhaisaheb Zainuddin presided over matam majlis in Busaheba’s (AQ) ghurfa mubarak, before we all performed ziyarat with the niyat of Shifa-e-Kulli and Tul-ul-Umr of Aqa Moula (TUS).  This was followed by Maghrib-Isha namaz.

We would like to give a special thanks to Shabbir-bhai and Tasnim-ben Ezzi for providing refreshments at their house whilst enroute to the Masjid.

May Allah grant our Bawa Shafiq (TUS) a long and prosperous life until Yawm al-Qiyamat. Ameen!
