As advised in Sorah Al-Maidah Ayat No.3,
“Rest assure today I have completed your Deen
and showered all blessings on you and loved this “Deen-e-Islam”
The basic theme and gist of this Ayat, Tafseer thereof coupled
with Sayings of Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa S.A. (PBUH) are
the main conceptual guidance of Shiat and these are the
fundamental rules /discipline for the life and eternity.
Our path-way is to observe Seerat-e-Masoomeen. Our each
and every Majlis / Mahfil starts with Recitation from the
Holly Quran and ends with the remembrance of sacrifice of
Shohda-e-Islam.
And this is a fact beyond any doubt that Azadari-e-Syed-us-Shoda
Hazasrat Imam Hussain A.S. played a vital role in introducing
and identifying ourselves. This Azadari also helped in image
building of Shiat, history of which is spread over hundreds
of years.
After partition of Sub-Continent in 1948, the organization
/ institution who played a very significant and impressive
role in expansion of Azadari-e-Syed-us-Shohda is the “PAK
MOHARRAM ASSOCAITION”. The Majlis-e-Aza and Precession
managed and organized under the auspices of Pak Moharram
Association are not only in Karachi, Pakistan rather in
Sub-Continent are well recognized as prestigious. Our elders
/ veteran brothers are the eye-witness who are visualizing
themselves the performance of this Association for more
than a half century. They also appreciated the precious
achievements of Pak Moharram Association and its contribution
towards flourishing the message of Islam. Yet for the knowledge
and information of our youngsters / youth who are, perhaps
ignorant of the history of Pak Moharram Association, which
is spread over more than 60 years, we are proud to mention
here brief history of the same.
In 1947 when Pakistan came into being, Muslims of minority
areas moved to Karachi the biggest City of Pakistan after
scarifying the love for their near and dear, left their
home land, Imam Bargah, Masajid, Grave-yards of their parents/elders.
They came here in a very distress manner with the just few
necessary belongings among which Alam of Hazrat Abbas Alamdar
was specifically included. They were provided Huts made
of Bamboo and shelter / quarters of Tin Sheets. Although
these immigrants were remembering their native land obviously
yet since the month of Mohrarram-ul-Haram was nearer, all
these people were worried about the Azadari-e-Syed-us-Shohda.
Among these people i.e. “Mahajreen” there were
five persons viz M/s. Habib-ul-Hassan Zaidi, Syed Zafar
Hussain Kazmi, Syed Ali Imam Bilgrami, Syed Shamim Hassan
Zaidi and Syed Qurban Hussain Abidi. These people arranged
a meeting at Quarter No.4/57 Jacob Lines, Karachi, belongs
Mr. Habib-ul-Hassan Zaidi and set up a “Moharram Committee”
. These five persons were the organizing / parent only Members
of this Committee. With the approval of Government, Majalis
of 1st Ashra-e-Mohramm was organized in Primary School,
Jacob Lines, Karachi. Mohtaram Janab Tajul Ullama Moulana
Mohammd Naqi Sahib Sahranpuri addressed the Majalis. On
the day of Aashoora, Aamal-e-Aashoora were completed and
thereafter a Procession was taken out which was terminated
at Iamam Bargah Kharadar. This was the beginning of your
Association which is now known and recognize as “Pak
Moharram Association (Regd.)”. In 1948, the name of
“Moharram Committee” was changed to “Pak
Moharram Committee” and Majalis were held at Jehangir
Park, Saddar, Karachi and Namaz-e-Eidain were also organized
in the said Park. more >>
