Recently a very good friend mine have wrote a very hearty poem on the
auspicious occasion of Aqaa Moula's Salgirah Mubarak, which I think reflects the
love and devotion that resides in the heart of each and every mumim and shedai.
I thought other mumineen brothers would also enjoy it as nuch as I did.
P.S.I have been a member for both of the above e-mail services i.e. bohranet
and ijtemaa, but I don't quite remember how I had applied for it or what my
registration/membership number is. A friend of mine also inquired about how to
receive these e-mails i.e. becoming a member, would you please give me some
information's. many thanks.

On this special occasion of Aqa Maula's (TUS) 86th salgirah, I have linked SEVEN of his shanaat to the number 86 to give a new meaning to the Adad of 786. I have done this in the attached poem that consists of seven stanzas. (Note the seven names of our Maula used in seven ways below):
FIRST is the basis of our belief that our DAI is linked to the Panjetan Paak through Immam-uz-Zamman.
SECOND is the noble family of MAULANA, whose forefathers have brought the daawat through difficult times, into the 20th century in grand style by their unique leadership.
THIRD is the truly international foundation of our community as laid by AQA MAULA from ziyarats in London to Masajids in North America.
FOURTH is the propagation of "Daras" and "Sabaq" under HUZURALA'S direction to all momineen. This years (1418) summer courses in Surat are a fresh example of this blessing.
FIFTH are the worldwide travels by SYEDNA, (who is in newly liberated Hong Kong today) and his call to momineen to unite under his Paak Saya from the four corners of this world and nurture their spiritual as well as worldly wisdom and growth.
SIXTH are the wonders recreated by this SULTAN-E-AAZAM of our historical buildings in Misr and India, for us to learn from, admire, use and worship.
SEVENTH alas, is the deepest and therefore the greatest gift of all, given to all of us gunehgaar children by our Shafeeq BAWASAHEB. Like the connection of death itself to birth and to a new begining, with miraculous clarity, he has linked Aashura to Eid in the Wa'az of 1418 AH at Surat. Such unique evocation of Zikr-e-Husain by him is our greatest treasure.
There is not enough room in this entire world to fill with words of shukr that this servant of our Maula wishes to express. So I just begin with the name of God, this humble poem on SEVEN of the infinite shanaat of His Holiness that shine so bright on this 86th year of his life:
SEVEN - 86
Today is the time to reflect and rejoice
as we celebrate our Moula's salgirah 86
How we love thee oh our Maula?, let me count some of the ways:
FIRST is your link to Panjetan & Imamat, in whose noor you blaze
SECOND is your heritage of Du'aat so grand and noble
and THIRD is your saya of shafaqat that is now Global
FOURTH is the wealth of ilm that you share
so freely with us all and yet with such care
FIFTH are your travels, that have enriched & united us all over
and SIXTH are your reconstructions of our historical splendor
SEVENTH above all, is the way you explain, Shahadat-e-Husain
you've taught us how so much to gain, from his sacrifice and pain
May you live for ever and ever, this we say in the name of God
Seven times Eighty Six we surrender, to your every wish & nod
