The Journey Of Tears

This book has been dedicated to the memories of Haji Ra-jabali Gulamhussein Datoo, Late Mullah Bashir Hassanali Rahim, Late Soghrabai Bashir Rashim, Late Aziz Anwarali Da-too & Late Qais Mahmood Nurmohamad.
All readers are requested to recite Al-Fateha for the Isale Sawaab of the above Marhumeen. 
In 1989 my grand-father, the Late Mullah Bashir Hassanali Rahim decided to create awareness amongst the youngsters of the tragedy of Karbala’, its pathos, impact and message. The intention for this was since due to the fact that the majaalis were in the language of Urdu, the youth and younger genera-tion were not fully aware of the purpose of the month of Muharram.


Once the book was distributed among the communiy to this era, they began to have children's majaalis during the twelve days. They were encouraged to host the majlis turn by turn, re-cite, and take charge of nawha and tabarrukaat, etc. My grand-father would prepare the material for them. Alhamdulillah the tradition continues to this day.


The past has now come to repeat itself, and not only has it af-fected Europe, but the Muslim Shi'a community all over the world, especially where I live in London, Ontario, Canada. At the mosque, I observe the surrounding of the youth and young-er generation and what I see is unexplainable. The youth and younger generation not only do not know who our Imam is, but how he and his family sacrificed their life for us, which is why I have tackled on the responsibility to take great care of this matter.
