Lives touched by Huzurala TUS

The Fishy Tale

Following interview of Shaikh Turabbhai Potia, Mumbai, by Mudar Patherya

We have a tradition in the family. We present taazi (fresh) fish to Huzurala on the pehli taarikh of each month – wherever he is in the world. The tradition is challenging; it requires one to network with global shipping and delivery agents. The result is that whenever fish is placed in the thaal on pehli taarikh, Huzurala generally enquires ‘Turabbhai yeh mokli?’

.When Huzurala is in India, the specie – Tikru, easily available in Mumbai - is specific. Whenever Huzurala enquires about the specie, my reply is standard: “Allah ek, Quran ek, Nabi ek, Wasi ek, Dai ek, ane aa bhi ek – naam chhey Tikru.” And each time Huzurala smiles. Just smiles.

Something interesting happened some years ago. Aqa Maula was in Austria and my agent was away in Zanzibar. I missed my pehli taarikh deadline. Surprisingly, I got a call late into the night from a Qasre-Aali sahib who said, “Maula ney tamari machchi mili, ghanu tasty hathu aney Huzurala tamara haq ma dua keedhi chhey.”

I was confused; neither of my agents had sent the fish, then how did Huzurala receive it?


The story gradually emerged: Moula was in Vienna, spotted a fish farm, stopped his vehicle, bought some halal fish and gave it to his hotel to cook. When the fish was served, Maula observed that generally it was Turabbhai who sent fish on pehli taarikh, but “aaje main ehna taraf si tamne sagla ne machchi jamaaru chhu; sawaab ehne pahunchse.”

It is the fish around which is centered one of my life’s most memorable anecdotes. Huzurala was in Kashmir in the late Seventies; I was a part of the entourage. At Pehlgam, I apologized that on this occasion I would not be able to present him with machchi. Huzurala enquired why. I related that we would not be allowed to fish at the Pehlgam lake unless we sought permission from the relevant government department in Srinagar. Huzurala was unfazed; he assured me that we would all eat fish that day and asked me go fishing with him at 5 ‘o clock.

By the evening, Huzurala had got permission to fish in the lake (don’t know how!). I sat in the Ambassador car with Huzurala. We proceeded to a scenic point. Huzurala walked out on to a large boulder. Extended the fishing rod. Dipped the tackle into the water.

In the first minute, Huzurala reported his first catch. Lucky, I thought. I felt that Huzurala would roll in the rod and we go to the hotel. We didn’t. In the second minute, Huzurala caught another. What fortune, I told myself. Huzurala continued to hold the line out. Suddenly he caught another. Then another. Then another.

Highly unusual. Anglers wait an entire day and go back with one or two if they have had a good day and that becomes the subject of the evening conversation. And here, in the first five minutes, Huzurala had caught five. By this time, the locals had begun to sense that something highly unusual was unfolding; they had started moving closer to watch this shawl-draped man casually standing at the edge of the water and picking fish after fish.


This is what eventually transpired: over the next hour, Huzurala caught 60 – sixty! - fish, gave me half (“aa tamaaro hisso!”) and then added “Tame itna arsa si mane pehli taarikh ni macchi jamaaro chho, aaje main tamne machchi jamaaris!”

I just what to know, why our Dai or God on earth, had to wait for a whole minute to get the next fish and not 52 seconds ?? How did the fishes manage to keep the precise time, to sacrifice them selfs ??

[ghulam muhammed]

By the evening, Huzurala had got permission to fish in the lake (don’t know how!).

In the same way that he gets permission for killing endangered animals......... my friend it is Moolah, Moolah and only Moolah and not the shaan of Mola and there is no dearth of it with crores flowing endlessly, courtesy the abdes.

[Al Zulfiqar]

why hasnt it ever happened that syedna has told a fanatic abde shaikh who has showered crores and crores on him in the same way as quoted below:

“Tame itna arsa si mane pehli taarikh ni macchi jamaaro chho, aaje main tamne machchi jamaaris!”

so imagine that syedna returns sixty crores to an abde who has once done salaam to him of 1 crore....!!!

su eni niraali shaan chhe.!

DREAM

I was 18, carefree, rebellious, outgoing and member of the Ithna Ashara sect when I met Saifuddin Vasi at Teheran in 1969. We married a year later following my ritualistic misaaq. I will be honest; I did not believe in it. We stayed in Iran for three years; during this period, a number of people impressed upon me the teachings of the Dawoodi Bohra faith including Syedi Mazoon e Dawat, who advised my husband to move out of Iran as there was no mumineen environment in that country to nurse my faith. We moved to Dubai in 1973.

It was in Dubai that I attended my first mumineen majlis during Ashara. Something happened…I felt an inexplicable stirring. Then a few days later, on the night of Ashura 1394 (2.1.1974) I had a dream, which turned out to be the turning point of my life. I saw myself sitting in an open ground in Dubai with other mumineen waiting for Imam Husain to arrive. Imam Husain!

Suddenly I saw ‘Imam Husain’ on a white horse riding towards the gathering. He kept nearing and when I could finally see clearly, it was none other but Maulana Mohammad Burhanuddin Saheb (T.U.S.). He rode, looked at me and went out of my sight.

I awoke dazed and in denial. Here I was, believed in none but Aqa Husain and I was seeing him impersonated by the Dai of the Dawoodi Bohras, a faith that I had consistently resisted. I was confused. Show me the right path immediately, I demanded of Allah! Yes, I demanded.

I didn’t have to wait long. Three days later, unfolded Dream Two. And this time I round I saw a wizened and venerable old man – I identified this as Syedna Taher Saifuddin Saheb (AQ) as seen in the photographs on the walls – who told me “Aa sahee raasto chhey”. I awoke, attended to my daughter, slept again, only to see Muqaddas Maula emerge in my dream again to tell me “Aa Dawat-aj sahee raasto chhey!”

Saifuddin and I went to Huzurala immediately after. Even before either of us had even spoken a word, he looked up and said, “Hu tamara khwab ma aayo hatho ne? Hawe tamne kai shaq chhey? Hawe to tamne shaq nathi ne?”

My first reaction: I wept. Not wept, sobbed. Not sobbed, but put my head on his qadam and purged myself emotionally. I could hear people saying ‘Su karo chho, behen?’, ‘Utho, behen!’ and ‘Aam na thai, behen’ but Huzurala asked them to let things be. ‘Ehne rehva dav’, I heard him say.

When I looked up, others around me in Saifee Mahal were fishing for their handkerchiefs. Maula asked my daughter’s name. I replied ‘Tasneem’. He replied: “Naam baraaber chhey”. Huzurala then instructed Shaikh Ebrahim Yamani to record my dream for the benefit of the daawat archives. On the following day, Syedi Mazoon Saheb told us that Huzurala had mentioned my dream and my ‘ikhlaas’ over thaal.

Since that day in January 1974, I have been a devout believer.

Note. Jumanaben’s great grand father was killed while defending the shrine of Imam Husain in 1801, following which her family name became ‘Shaheedi’.

Kothar urgently needs to print a new textbook for the kindergarden, "Fairytales of Dawoodi Bohras" and make it a part of the curriculum in their schools viz. Al-ameen in dubai, taiyyabiyah school, mumbai etc etc. and also make it a part of thesis for the higher level 'halkas' in Jameas.

[londonwala]

Bohra fairy tales are indeed multiplying. We are constantly being told in bayans about dreams of bohras where they have seen Syedna. Unfortunately, what they experience in their subconscious is irrelevant to anyone other than themselves. It is just their fantasy, brought about by decades of indoctrination.

I know bohras who will often proudly boast that they dreamed of Syedna. Bohras are constantly being told that they should talk about Syedna and his shaan, so some fanatics make a deliberate habit of bringing Syedna into any conversation that you have, regardless of the topic. It is pathetic and rather annoying. You cannot have an intelligent conversation with such people.

We now increasingly hear accounts in bayans from bhai sahebs about their own experiences of being with Syedna. This happens more and more, as Syedna has so many children, grandchildren, and now great grandchildren who now make a living from giving bayans. They have all been brought up in luxury, following Syedna all around the world . They know that ordinary bohras are very impressed when they hear stories about their experiences with Syedna in far flung exotic places, and there is much name-dropping of the shahzadas. Their accounts are interspersed with stories about bohras that they met, and what they told them about the dreams they had, their desperate ummeed for ziyafets, etc.

They often talk about people who gave ziyafets or did araz to Syedna about their business, and subsequently became even richer than they already were. This is to encourage bohras to give more and more money to the establishment. What about the others? I know people who did ziyafets and took career options based on arzi replies, who subsequently became poorer or regretted their career choice. I know some who spent a fortune in salaam for having Syedna conduct their nikah for the sake of "barakat", but their marriages broke down soon after.

Bless me Maula, I have a small brain
Bless me more when I am in pain

When I see no path, You are there to preach
Bless me more when my life is out of reach

Empower my intentions make them bold
Spiritualizing my character glittering gold
I will follow your words hold u fast
Grow everyday till life last

Now all worries are and will be out of sight
Since you read my poems much before I write............!

Huzurala Tus Meets the President of Yemen
29th Rabi Ul Aakhar 1428

Huzurala (TUS), today, in a delegation met the President of Yemen H.E. Ali Abdullah Saleh, who extended his warm welcome and conveyed his greeting to al-Dail al-Ajal Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS) and all the mumineen who visited Yemen during these days which has blessed the land of Yemen with His auspisces presence.

His Holiness Dr. Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS) congratulated the President on his victory during the presidential elections held last year in Yemen, which shows the trust and loyalty of the Yemeni people in his leadership and the progress and development that has been seen in Yemen. His Holiness Dr. Syedna Moahmmed Burhanuddin (TUS) also congratulated the President and expressed his best wishes on the upcoming 17th Republic Day. He expressed His wishes in the further progress of the Yemeni people under the leadership of the President.

Huzurala (TUS) also thanked the President, the government and the entire Yemeni mass on the warm welcome extended to him in their country during his current visit which shows the emphasis laid by the leadership in upholding Arab values and the morals of the deen of Islam. He applauded the efforts of the leadership in promoting unity among the Arab world and the Muslim community as a whole.

The President wished Huzurala (TUS) a long life and health. He extended his greeting on the occasion of Maula’s milad mubarak and wished him a pleasant stay in Yemen. The meeting was attended by top government officials and Shehzada Sahebs and members from the Qasre Aali.

Current status of the President of Yemen H.E. Ali Abdullah Saleh,



In early 2011, following the Tunisian revolution that resulted in the overthrow of the long-time Tunisian president, opposition parties attempted to the do the same in Yemen. Opposition started leading protesters and demanding Saleh to end his three-decade-long rule because of his perceived lack of democratic reform, widespread corruption and the claimed human rights abuses carried out by him and his allies.[22]

On 3 June, 2011, Saleh was injured in an RPG attack on his presidential compound, which killed four body guards and injured the prime minister, deputy prime minister, and the governor of Sanaa. The man responsible for speaking at Saleh's public events was reported killed. Saleh suffered burns and shrapnel injuries, but survived, a result that was confirmed by an audio message he sent to state media in which he condemned the attack, but his voice clearly revealed that he was having difficulty in speaking. Government officials tried to downplay the attack by saying he was lightly wounded. The next day he was taken to a military hospital in Saudi Arabia for treatment.[35] According to U.S. government officials, Saleh suffered a collapsed lung and burns on about 40 percent of his body.[36] A Saudi official said that Saleh has undergone two operations: one to remove the shrapnel and a neurosurgery on his neck.

On 23 November 2011, Saleh flew to Riyadh in neighbouring Saudi Arabia to sign the Gulf Co-operation Council plan for political transition, which he had previously spurned. Upon signing the document, he agreed to legally transfer the office and powers of the presidency to his deputy, Vice President Abd Rabbuh Mansur al-Hadi

SBM, , you missed the sarcasm in my statement.
Mojiza of Prophet Mohammed are not on lighter side (it may be for you but not us) & we believe & have complete faith Now why Reformist, the intellectuals believe it when something like Moon was halved by prophet? Can you tell me why do you believe it? Any rationale behind it?

[SBM]

he intellectuals believe it when something like Moon was halved by prophet? Can you tell me why do you believe it? Any rationale behind it?

Because either it is mentioned in Quran or from Authentic Hadiaths.
If you are intelligent enough, tell me how do you know Shimar had "Lokhand naa chappal and Kutra jewo Mou aney Baar Ragrra" except for Bohra clergy no one describes like that, any rationale to believe in this?.
