On this occasion different Institutes and organizations held programmes of azadari in Imam Bargahs and Aza Khanas and Taboot of Hazrat Sakina (pbuh) were brought out in ladies majalis. 

Majalis e Aza were also held at Federal capital Islamabad as well as Rawalpindi in which Ulmae Karama and Waezeen Uzaam  highlighted the life of Sakina bintul Hussain (pbuh) and participants paid condolence in the form of azadari and matamdari to the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp).

Khatiba Aale Nabi Syeda Binte Ali Mousavi while addressing majlis organized by UWF, Girls Guide, Sakina Generation and Anjuman e Dukhtaran e Islam (Regd.) at Imam Bargah Jamia tul Murtaza G-9/4 Islamabad, said that life of Sakina bintul Hussain (pbuh) is a beacon of light and a basis of guidance for the daughters of Islam which, if followed, can be a source of respect for the Muslim nation.

She said that while facing all sorts of aggression and difficulties in the courts of Kufa and Shaam, Sakina Bintul Hussain (pbuh) presented a great example of determination and courage for the rest of the world to follow.  She said that after the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (pbuh), the way Sakina Bintul Hussain (pbuh) along with the pious ladies of the house hold of the Holy Prophet (pbut) fought against Yazidiat and dictatorship in a way  which history is unable to replicate.

She said that in order to get rid off the hardships and difficulties faced by humanity, it is inevitable that we should follow the example of the household of the Holy Prophet (pbut). Zakira Mohtarma Malaeka Ghufar also addressed to the Majlis. To conclude the majlis Taboot of Sakina Bintul Hussain (pbuh) was brought out and matamdari was performed. On this occasion security duties were performed by UWF, Girls Guide and Sakina Generation.

Under the auspices of Saean Mohammad Sakhi Haidery, majlis e Aseeran e Karbala was held at Dhok Nami Rawaat. Allama Qamar Zaidi while addressing the Majlis said that for the protection of Islam and human values, people from different clans, colours and races led by Imam Hussain (pbuh) stood fast against Yazidiat and not only provided fresh blood to Islam but also taught a lesson to humanity that the criteria of magnificence is not a nation or clan rather it depends upon worship and piety.

He said that nowhere in history can the example of the immense change in circumstances be found between the time  the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) left Makka for Madina and Imam Hussain (pbuh) left Madina for Makka. He said that one can reach the conclusion, after going through philosophy of Karbala, that just after half century the Muslim nation and the sorrounding situation had changed so much that the place of migration of the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) could not provide protection to Imam Hussain (pbuh).

Syed Qamar Zaidi emphasized that by leaving Madina, Imam Hussain (pbuh) turned the mind  of the followers of his Grandfather and those who are interested in Islamic history towards these bitter realities, helping to take off the fake mask of Islam from the faces of Yazidi forces.  

Allama Basharat Hussain Imami while addressing majlis said that if Imam Hussain (pbuh) was just an oppressed one then people would have would have concluded the condolence after shedding few tears for him or by keeping silence for few moments as it is practised in present, but Imam Hussain (pbuh) from the time he left Madina to the last prostration on the plain of Karbala gave eternal life to humanity by showing every aspect of life in each oppressed character of Karbala.

He said that Captives of Karbala played a vital role to illuminate the candle of Hussainiat and due to the very same reason every conscious person remembers Imam Hussain’s (pbuh) sacrifice by taking part in the form of azadari. On this occasion Zakir Syed Karam Hussain Shah of Hakeemal, Zakir Qamar, Zakir Mukhtar Kosar and others also addressed the majlis. Allama Nasir Abbas of Multan, Zakir Syed Iqbal Hussain Bajar and Allama Basharat Hussain Imami addressed the Majlis held at Qasr e Imam Ali Naqi (pbuh) Magistrate Colony.
