Ashara Ohbat

[Zainab Multanwala]

Salaam Behno,

Couple of days back we had a meeting of Western Region of US with Hussaina Bns and other Qasre Aali bhensahebs and agenda was Ashara Mubaraka Ohbat.

Aqa Maula TUS has appointed Tasneem bns Zawjat Shahzada Malaik ul Ashtar Bhaisaheb DM Masool for US and Hussaina Bns binte Mazoon Saheb Syedi Hussain Bhaisaheb Hussamuddin Saheb DM Aali Masool for Western Region of US.

Hussaina Bns has Farman to visit San Diego and see Ashara Mubaraka Tayyari which includes :Haazri,coming before time and doing tafheem to muminaat to whom this is still not clear ke Ashara ma 9 din hazir thawanuj che  and other hurdles which might come in way for attending waaz everyday and before time.

We BSWA did Maaraz for Ashara ohbat in Shehrulah and this time also lets take this step and organize Hussaina Bns 's visit.

We will need to decide a date when we think mostly eveyone in muminaat and dikriyo from our gaam will present and then we have to see bns's  availability too so plz reply with 2 tentative dates.

It seems like few families will be out on 5-7 Sept which is long weekend.

I will suggest 12 OR 13 of Sept.

Plz replt at your earliest so we can also ask Bns.

Shukran,

Amate Syedna TUS 

Zainab.

Salaam All,

Hussaina Bns has other two mawaze visit on 12 and 13 of Sept so she has suggested coming Sunday that is 23 August for SD.

In my opinion we should take this date and work around as theres no other weekends left.

Please respond.

Shukran,

Zainab.

[Tasneem Patanwala]

Zainab Ben,

Tentatively what would we be planning for that day?

Salaam, 

As I understand, this event is for all the ladies of San Diego and not limited to BWA. August 23rd is right around the corner. We all know that even for Miqaats a week notice is always given. The percentage of ladies present at the Ohbat event is crucial as Hussaina BS will be presiding. What would the turnout be on such short notice?

Nothing is guaranteed but we can try!

I agree. This Sunday works for me, but I am unsure of how many ladies from the jamaat will come at such short notice.  On the other hand if nothing else is available then we have to do it this weekend, right?  Are we planning lunch? How long will the whole event/program take? 

Munira

[Fatemi Doctor]

Sunday works but would like to know very soon what we have to do to get ready for it.

It is a short notice for rest of the ladies also, so better if the details are sent out to the jamaat soon.

[Zainab Multanwala]

Hussaina bns doesnot have any Sundays open except for this coming Sunday.

The only options i see are:this coming  Sunday i.e 23 August ,4 Sept Friday(before long weekend) and 11 Sept Friday.

Fridays are bit difficult as we will have to start the event after 6 pm and with Ashara ohbat slides and Home visits,it will be too late.

So best would be to do this coming Sunday.

Plz respond at your earliest so we can inform all muminaat by tomorrow noon.

Shukran,

Zainab.

[umem...@gmail.com]

If we are considering doing it on Sunday and also lunch as part of the program then the best option I can think of, in order to get most attendees, is doing Mithi Shitabi. This way we can at least be sure to have reasonable number of ladies and doing Shitabi will reflect nice and respectful impression on Behan Saheb.

[Zainab Multanwala]

I think Shitabi in one case is a best option to get good percent of Muminaat attend and Secondly,which will basically be an aalaa niyat keh like how we are praying so hard keh Aqa Maula TUS jaldi US padhare and Imam Hussain AS na Azaa ni Majalis yahan US ma thai,this amal of us will be counted in Ibadat and sagla aaj niyat pr Shiatbi ma shamil thai.

Zainab.

[Fatemi Doctor]

I am okay with doing either mithishitabi or just jaman this Sunday.

[Zainab Multanwala]

Plz behno reply karo.

Aam bhi apne ohbat waste sagla muminaat ne jama karte tou jaman tou rakhtej.Shitabi rakhhye che tou gol roti aik extra thase.

[Zahra Hussain-Presswala]

Sounds good.  Approximately how many thaals will we be expecting given that most of the bairao will be present?

[Zainab Multanwala]

We want 100% haziri of muminaat but since it is decided in very short period we dont know.Atleast 4 thaals.

[Zainab Multanwala]

Option 1 would all expenses be done from BSWA account and getting the main course catered.

Option 2 can be when we send out an email for  Shitabi organized by BSWA we can also mention keh je muminaat ne shitabi ni niyat hoi tou $72 or whatever amount nu thaal thase ye aa shitabi ma shamil thai sakse .and lets say agar apne 2 response awa tou baqi 2 ya 3 thaal na apne Burhani-Saifee na fund ma lai leso.

ane pachi main course apne cater karawi laiye.

[Zahra Hussain-Presswala]

Of course.  What exactly will the program be?  Other than the majlis with mithishitabi, is there anything else we will be responsible for?  Any printed material or presentation material that needs to be done?  Also, can we start setting the menu if possible?

[Zainab Multanwala]

Bns will bring all Aqa Maula TUS kaleemat CD but we can do one thing which is display clothes i mean Rida(bhari and casual like just panel wali),topi (kasbi and white),Kurta Saya(bharat wala and plain or just makhi done) and put a cross saying not to be worn and write stating aa pehnai sake. and also bag ma su lai ne awe khaas farzando waste aim aik chart ni shakelaat ya pachi handout apye dos and dont during ashara ane waaz.

[umem...@gmail.com]

First, let's just send the email with accept and regret link, so we know the exact number of ladies attending. 

We can decide the menu after that. If we keep it simple, there will be no need to cater. I can cook the main course.

Planning to send the following email to the jamaat in about an hour or so. 

Chime in with your suggestions or comments.

Baad Salaam e Jameel:

This email has been sent with the raza of Janab Amil Saheb.

With the niyyat that Aqa Maula TUS does Ashara 1437 in Houston, Burhani Saifee Women Association is organizing a mithishitabi on Sunday, August 23rd. There will be an ilmi program after the mithishitabi. All this will be done under the sadarat of Hussaina BS binte Syedi Mazoon Saheb(from Los Angeles). Program will start at 12:00 pm at markaz. If anyone is interested in taking a mithishitabi thaal, hub raqam will be $72. Please let Umema ben Darugar know if you want to take a thaal.

BSWA would like to invite all mumenaat beheno, mehmano and misaaq wali dikriyo for this event.

Although this is a last minute notice, we hope all the ladies will be able to participate in the program.

Please RSVP (Accept or Regret) at your earliest convenience.

Hussaina Bensaheb and other Qasre Aali Bensahebs are specially coming to San Diego for this event. If you would like them to visit your home after the program, please get in touch with bhabisaheb, Zainab ben.

Imaae Syedna TUS,

Burhani Saifee Women Association

[Munira Suterwala]

I am fine with Shitabi.  It might be better and easier to just do the expenses from BWA funds because it is at such short notice. 

Things that we need to decide:

Will this be for all dikriyo or only misaaq wali? I suggest, all, so that the attendance might be higher. 

time of the event? I suggest 11am so that we can get to lunch at a decent hour after praying everything as well as the slides and also get home in time to be with family.

Gifts? Suggestions - Chocolate bag.  How about we make a sample bag for what you can take for the waaz and give that as the gift. (I am assuming, it will include dry fruit, water bottle, chocolate etc)

Menu? I can do one thaal roti and bhaaji and gol for all thaals

I am also not sure of what time madrasa ends this Saturday and Hussaina bns's availability, but if we can work it out, we might have the highest attendance after Madrasa.

Munira

[Fatemi Doctor]

I was discussing with Bhabisaheb (Zainab ben) regarding the timing and we decided 11:30 am. She spoke to Hussaina BS after that and bensaheb said noon. They all are visiting OC on Saturday so that is not an option. It will almost be 3 by the time we sit to eat. But I don't think we have any other options.

I can do mithaas and one thaal roti.

Muniras gift suggestion is good. I wanted to remind that I do have tasbeehs and tasbeeh sipari that I had got last year.

[Zahra Hussain-Presswala]

I can do a second mithaas and one thaal roti if the goal doesn't count as a mithaas.

[tasneem patanwala]

i can make beetroot sherbet and get the fruits.

[Farida Baxamusa]

As much as I would love to come for this event I wouldn't be.

Im handling Mariya alone at home and its a bit difficult but il still try to help. Let me know if I could make something.

Shukran

[umem...@gmail.com]

As of now:

Munira: 1 thaal roti, bhaji and gol  for all thaals

Fatemi: 1 Thaal roti, Mithaas

Zahra: 1 Thaal roti, 2nd Mithaas (if applicable)
Umema: Jaman (Mutton biryani)

Tasneem: Beetroot Sherbet and fruit

We need someone to volunteer for Kharaas + Matho + Salad or Kachumber + roti

Farida, taking care of Mariya will be much easier at the Markaz then alone at home.

If we decide to make the packets for the gifts, I can make those as well.  However I would need to know what to put in them before end of the day. 

We also need to get pan and the other shitabi stuff. I can get kajal and khakh-e-shifa for all thaals. I believe I have 2-3 mehndi cones also that I can get. 

Munira

[Zahra Hussain-Presswala]

I'll make a Google spreadsheet.

[Zainab Multanwala]

We will invite all female Members of SD Jamaat :muminaat and balig and gair balig dikriyo.

Lets send out an email about mentioning Hub amount and if someone has niyaat to take a thaal they can because already we will have more expense regarding Shiatbi and Niyaz e Hussain Hub.

Zainab.

[Munira Suterwala]

Salaam,

What is the final decision about the gifts?  It will be very difficult for me to make the packets if we don't decide today. 

Munira

[umem...@gmail.com]

My two cents:

Sample Ashara jholnu should include, a note book, a pen, Tasbeeh, Khak e-Shifa, sipari Ya Syed as-Shuhadai, Fulk ul-Hussain, rumaal, and then comes tosha (chocolates, dry fruits, water bottle etc). 

I would prefer to go with what we already have. We have Tasbeeh and Dua ni sipari, that sounds sufficient. For Hussaina Bensaheb's thaal we can add namazi ni Odhni, we had some left from previous Shitabi. We can include tosha bag to all the gifts excluding water bottle.
