Posted by Let us pause and ponder what happened during the last two months. A saintly decree, which came out of sheer conviction and love towards Mumeneen asking to “keep the shops, work, or any trading operations barred during the days of Ashara Mubaraka”, displayed a sense of celestial and supreme power. The decree was embraced by Mumeneen with heartfelt affection believing the bliss and benignant it will bring for them in the future.
This year, we observed relaxation to congregate without any limit for Ashara Mubaraka, while the last two years confined us with a limit to congregate.
To embrace this decree in no time astonished Mumeneen to realize how it helped them in an unbelievable manner. They inferred, how deeply Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA, Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA, and Syedna Aali Qadr Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS have instilled into them a strong devotion and love for Zikr e Husain AS.
When I first came to know about this firmaan, I was a little bit concerned about my kin and how they will respond to it. And to my utter surprise, they pledged and vowed to keep their work totally closed during Ashara Mubaraka. I think, no other thing apart from Aqa Maula’s firmaan has the persuasion power like this.
The Mumeneen were not bothered about how others will react to this firmaan. People usually wait for the reaction of others before they themselves react. But this pious maneuver of Mumeneen showed how deep-rooted love they have for Imam Husain AS and His Dai TUS.
This is not an overnight achievement. It’s the constant endeavors of Duat Mutlaqeen RA especially; Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA, Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA, and Syedna Aali Qadr Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS.
Syedna Aali Qadr Mufaddal Saifuddin Aqa TUS expounded that His era summed up all the previous endeavors of Duat RA and yielded overwhelming results. A few Mumeneen shared that they were ecstatic to hear this decree as it helped them to refrain from worldly acts and remain engrossed in one thing only, “zikr e Husain AS”. Aqa Maula’s directives boosted the courage of those who were jiggling to manage between attending ‘work and majalis’ simultaneously. They knew that they were not doing justice to Zikr e Husain AS as they feel deviated from the sole purpose when they open their shops during Ashara Mubaraka. This decree helped them to remain steadfast on one thing “Zike e Husain AS”.
Benefits of focusing on purpose and avoiding distractions
We humans, are losing our potential to focus on one point for a prolonged period. Thanks to technology for instilling this behavior in our personality. Our minds are constantly looking for new ways to remain fascinated by whatever intriguing things are available to them. This trait makes them vulnerable to easily losing focus and deviating from the purpose.
Keeping away endeavors to earn sustenance during Ashara Mubaraka, helped in maintaining the focus on the grief of Imam Husain AS. We can understand this phenomenon by the example of the bulb. A mind can’t be operated like a bulb that can be turned ‘on and off ‘ by just pressing the switch. Mind if gets engrossed in one matter can’t shift immediately to another. The ripple of the previous thought takes time to fade. Based upon this, we can infer that keeping our work at bay is helpful to entirely refrain from anything which can bother the mind and divert it from the purpose of zikr e Husain AS.
Rewards achieved manifolds for performing as per decree and many more anticipated in the future
The first waaz mubarak delivered by Aqa Maula TUS came as an exceptional reward for the Mumneen. Syedna Aali Qadar Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS expresses his delight towards Mumeneen for keeping their works shut in an eloquent way, stating: You accepted my decree and barred yourself from attending your work; this astonishes me more than anything else. 
This exclusive explanation brought happiness to Mumeneen in two ways;
1) Helped Mumeneen to understand the topic of the first waaz Mubarak from a broader perspective.
Because Syedna Aali Qadr Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS expounded the topic from every single angle. His TUS explanation encompassed all the aspects related to the topic. Moreover, this explanation unfolded many facets of the topic. His TUS words will always give solace to our souls from despair.
2) It gives a sense of infinite happiness to Mumeneen to feel the prayers of Aqa Maula TUS reciprocated by Allah Taala in no time. His TUS prayers are the most abundant treasure for Mumeneen. The topmost priority of all the endeavors in a mumin’s life is attaining the khushi Mubarak of Aqa Maula TUS. And this one deed helped to achieve that very purpose of mumin’s life.
How one can count the unfathomable favors of Aqa Maula TUS, we can only say that may Allah grant our Aqa Maula TUS a healthy and prosperous life until the day of Qiyamat. And give us the courage to understand and work according to every wish of Aqa Maula TUS.
