Assalaam o Alaikum,
Some very interesting facts and figures came to my knowledge over the last few days. Sparked by a friends facebook status with an image from wikipedia outlining the largest peaceful gathering on Earth. It caught my attention and so I went to wikipedia and searched the same.
SubhanAllah.. a wonderful note appeared sharing the following:
SubhanAllah!!! What a beautiful comemoration of the Arbaeen of our beloved Imam! Its almost as if we all respond to the call of our Imams and Bibi Zainab (A.S) that we are here to mourn for your brother and your family! No one but us, we are here!
These types of events surely make my heart long for the day I will inshAllah be invited for Ziyarat of our 14 infalliables! inshAllah one day... and hopefully soon... Oh how i long to go for Hajj and Ziyaraats! and my urge only getting stronger... I hope Allah does decide to call anyone who wishes to perform the holy pilgrimage with true intent and within those, hopefully call me to visit him for Hajj soon! (inshAllah)
Came across a very nice speach by Sayed Ammar Nakshawani about the History & Philosophy of Majaalis. Outlines some social ettiquettes of congregations and majaalis! The peaceful gatherings in Karbala each year are a great example of ettiquettes & morality within Islam! SubhanAllah
JazakAllah
