Salaam Alaykum
Last Muharram, a group of youths ventured to put up small tabligh desks throughout the entire route of the Bilal and Khoja Julooses.
The basic idea was to provide to the general public whose curiousity would be aroused by the juloos/procession to seek for more information on what this 'protest' was all about.
The tables were manned by young men of our community together with some learned maalims to answer questions from the public and spread the message of Imam Hussain.
Every time someone came and asked a question, the reply would start a small Majlis on all the injustices that our Mazloom Imam had to face.
This Muharram once again, the Youths have embarked on this project. The preliminary meeting was held last week and the engine has started.
We need every youth who is willing and able to sacrifice some time for the sake of Imam Hussain to come forward and join the group.
This time, we will be having some additional activities as well, which shall be discussed by the group during the upcoming meetings.
For those interested, there will be a meeting of the group for discussion every day starting from 1st Muharram (EDIT: 10 February) from 5:30pm onwards till Maghrib time at the Gents Imambargha of Shia Ithna Asheri Mosque. Everyone (MEN only) is welcome to attend. We will have some aalims present who will be answering questions and helping plan out the strategy.
It would also be very pleasing if the ladies in this forum can also form a group who would be willing to meet everyday, and we can arrange for some aalims to address them and answer their questions. (This is just a vague idea that just came up while I was typing...so let me know what you all think). What is deifnite is that we should be doing something.
