Meem ane Noon – Shaan of Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS

Meem ane Noon “??”

These two letters had my attention since 4 to 6 years ago, when I was listening to a WAAZ Mubarak of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA. Moula RA’s bayan mubarak is always filled with seas of Ilm. How much Ilm did one take home, depended on size and quality of the vessel they bought along.

One of such bayan mubarak included a Vasiyat of Moula TUS which created a strong impression on my vessel – such that I can still hear that voice and see him on takht mubarak.

Please excuse, as I cannot put the exact words. Moula RA delivered, “Mumineen ni Jama’at ! Jeware Imam uz Zaman AS tashrif lawe anetamare puche ke tame koun cho? Te waqt su jawaab deso?

Jawaab em araz karjo ke tame “??” (MAN) na logo cho. Mohammed, ali, fatema, hasan ane hussaiN ni mohabbat karo cho. Mohammed no pehlo “?” ane Hussain no aakhri “?”. Tame MumineeN (??????) cho – pehla ‘?’ ane chela ‘?’ che.”

As the Waaz Mubarak was ongoing, it struck me that my Moula Syedna ‘M’ohammed Burhanuddi’N’s name also starts with ‘?’ and ends with ‘?’. Moreover, Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA has conferred upon Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA the title of ‘M’ansoor ul Yeme’N’

This implies that Imam uz Zaman AS will only recognise people of ‘??‘. Therefore, on the day of Zuhoor, Mumineen will be required to know who and what is ‘??‘.

Since Moula Mohammed Burhanuddin RA has already reached in the Qadam Mubarak of Imam uz Zaman AS, he has left us with a replica of his – ‘M’ufaddal Saifuddi’N’ – who is a Mumin’s ‘??‘ in the hazrat of Imam uz Zaman AS.

The Quran also recognises Aqa Moula Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS by the name. Yes, if you have guessed it right, in the Surat ul Qadr. (May I have enough life and tawfeeq, to word my Tasawwur on this AALI QADR SURAT OF QURAN). Surat ul Qadr consists of 30 words signifying 30 days of Ramadaan ul Moazzam. Count each word one by one upto the 23 rd word…..and Viola !! You have reached ‘??‘. There are no mumineen who are not aware that the night of 23rd Ramadaan is the Milaad Mubarak of our Beloved Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS. The night in which the entire QURAN were descended from Jannat.

There is a Zikr of Rasulullah SAW, where He SAW foretells an era in which buka and matam of Imam Hussain AS will be done the most. Rasulullah SAW hinting towards Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA and Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS states in a hadees mubarak (which all mumineen would have, atleast, heard it once),
“?? ??? ????? ??????? ??? ???? ?????? ???? ?? ?????”
The hadees mubarak begins with ?? and translation in my words is, “If a person either cries, or atleast makes a crying face in remembrance of Imam Hussain AS, Jannat is confirmed for him!”

The letters ‘?‘ and ‘?’‘ (together, ‘??’) displays the shaan of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA and Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS in innumerable instances.

Now consolidating and coming to the point, the one who does not recognise ‘??‘ jeopardizes his own identity !!

Khuda ta’ala Aqa Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS ni umr sharif qayamat na din tak daraaz kare…..Ameen!!
Sajda in Hazrat Imamiyah..and Wasalaam
