In this month of resounding triumph – a testament not only to the global Dawoodi Bohra community but also to the enduring victory of truth – for it is always the truth that in the end prevails – amidst this widespread joy and jubilation, a profound tragedy is felt—the loss of the revered Mazoon Saheb Syedi Aliasger bs Kalimuddin Saheb. His esteemed position as the Mazoon of Dawat ul Haq was intertwined with a deeply personal connection with the momineen, evident through the profound impact of his teachings and the scholarly eminence he embodied. His eloquence of speech and perpetually radiant countenance were nothing short of extraordinary – a rare amalgamation of virtues that becomes increasingly scarce with age. Yet, despite the passage of time, Mazoon Saheb remained steadfast in his principles of warmth, a welcoming demeanor, and unparalleled clarity in imparting knowledge. His presence was akin to a symphony for the senses, leaving an indelible mark until his final breath.
While the loss of Mazoon Saheb is deeply felt by momineen, it is also an occasion to honor and celebrate the enduring legacy of wisdom and values that he so ardently professed.
The sacred month of Shawwal ul Mukarram has been a cause for personal reflection and celebration. Under the resplendent banner of truth and the timeless legacy of wisdom, my educational journey, which commenced at MSB and culminated in the stewardship of the English department, owes immeasurably to the benevolent guidance of Syedi Saheb. Today, I find myself profoundly indebted to the enlightened guidance and nurturing I received at MSB, which I fervently believe paved my path to my association with Al Jamea tus Saifiya in Karachi and Nairobi. My association with these esteemed institutions, particularly the revered Al Jamea tus Saifiya Nairobi, holds a place of utmost reverence in my heart. It is indeed a cherished privilege – one that assumes greater significance given the fleeting nature of our worldly existence. What greater honor could one aspire to than an association with Al Jamea tus Saifiya—the epitome of divine guidance under Al Dai ul Mutlaq TUS Himself?
This month, marked by the announcement of the University of London results, was a moment brimming with pride and humility. I am deeply honored to have been entrusted with the facilitation of 23 remarkable business students, 10 of whom achieved distinctions in their inaugural year, while the second-year cohort garnered 3 distinctions, primarily in the realm of merits. Additionally, I received the divine blessings of Al Jamea tus Saifiya’s orientation, an experience that humbled me beyond words. The tokens of appreciation bestowed upon me are a testament to the abundant grace and barakat I have been bestowed with, for which my gratitude knows no bounds. As an educator most of my life, these blessings embody the very essence of my life’s purpose. This month stands as a luminous pinnacle amidst a tapestry of accolades, a testimony to the boundless mercies of Maula TUS upon me. Alhamdulillah and Shukranlillah.
Humbled beyond words,
