Al-Hakam (13 May – Nasirat Waqfe Nau, UK)
  • QUESTION:  Saira Khurram from Tooting, London, asked why do some Muslims celebrated Eid on different days? 
Huzoor (aba) explained that Eid was celebrated on the basis of various moon sightings. The Holy Prophet(sa) had instructed that “when you see the moon of Eid, celebrate Eid. When you see the moon of Ramadan, start fasting, and if you do not see the moon after 29 days of fasting, complete [Ramadan] by keeping 30 [fasts]. And if the moon is visible, then celebrate Eid.” Huzoor (aba) said that the moon was sighted and seen on different dates according to the region and country of the world one resided in.

  • QUESTION:  Atiyatul Naila from Birmingham North asked if studying business was a useful field in the Jama'at? 
Huzoor (aba) responded: “If you have a lot of interest in this field, then you can study it. […] however, if girls go into [the field of] medicine, or teaching, or in this kind of profession which is beneficial – or in science or research – then they can be more useful [for the Jamaat]. However, if you are interested in business studies, then you may study it. The Jamaat shall then find some use of your studies when the opportunity arises.”

  • QUESTION:  Maliha Malik, of Morden Park Jama'at, asked why Shias did matam or self-flagellation and why they gave Hazrat Alira more importance than the other rightly guided caliphs? 
Huzoor (aba) stated Shi‘ism was an offshoot of Islam that believed that Hazrat Ali (ra) should have been the Khalifa after the Holy Prophet (sa) and that his right to khilafat was misappropriated. Huzoor (aba) said that in his Friday Sermons, he was narrating the incidents of the Companions (ra) of the Holy Prophet (sa) and proved that Hazrat Ali(ra)a did bai‘at of Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra), Hazrat Umar (ra) and then Hazrat Uthman (ra) and remained obedient to them his entire life. 
With regard to matam, Huzoor (aba) said that after the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain (ra), it was the very people responsible for his martyrdom who first performed matam. Huzoor (aba) said that as the history behind this was lengthy, the person in-charge of Nasirat should publish an article on this in Maryam magazine.

  • QUESTION: Fareeha Ahmad, of Southfields Jama'at, asked  if it was permissible for Waqf-e-Nau girls to go into politics? 
Huzoor (aba) said that Waqf-e-Nau girls should enter those fields which helped the progress of Islam and were a means of the betterment of humanity.
