Last Night and Today.Protest at number of places by not only Shias, but, also by Sunni brothers on the demolition of Rauzas in Jannatul Baqee. The tombs under which were the graves of 4 holy Imams and Uncle of the Holy Prophet (pbuhp), Janabe Abbas.
Since the construction of Zainabia Imambada in 1988, Eighth shawwal is remembered as the day of mourning. The day of Protest.
Last Night at 8.30 pm at the same venue, a Majlis recited by Maulana Syed Hasnain Kararvi followed by Nauha and Maatam by 3 Anjumans. Anjuman-e-Abidya, Nawgawan Sadaat. Anjuman-e-Imamia, Lucknow and Anjuman-e-Mashke Sakina, Bori Mohalla.
Some person asked, why we do maatam to protest?
The answer is; We protest to let the world know that this Extremist Wahhabis destroyed the tomb of the grandsons of their own Prophet (pbuh) in 1925.
We mourn as the Imam of the time is in ghaybat (Absent). We await his re-appearance. His occultation is a great tragedy for us. We pray that Almighty Allah hastens his Zohoor (re-appearance). This mourning and maatam proves that we are alive and concern, and also our love and affection towards our holy Imams (a.s.).
We also pray that the rule of this Extremist Wahhabi regime comes to an end soon so that the tombs at Jannatul Mualla and Jannatul Baqee can be rebuild Inshaallah.
