Farewell to the Days of Aza /Mourning for
Imam Hussain (as)
"Surely there exists in the hearts of the mo'mineen, with respect to the
martyrdom of Husayn [a], a heat that never subsides" -
The Holy Prophet [s] Mustadrak al-Wasail,
vol.10, pg.318
'Adhamallah Ujoorakum...
We send condolences to Imam al-Hujjah
[a] and to lovers of Ahlul-bayt [a] on the martyrdom of
Imam Hasan al-Askari[a].
Imam was killed by poison in his youth age (late 20s) after spending several
years in prison.
With heavy hearts & tears, we also bid temporary farewell to the Mourning season for Martyrs of Kerbala as the Nights and Days of Aza come to an end.
We will have to wait for another year to witness and experience majalis, matam, the Alam, Ashura, Arbaeen, mourning, and the passion of azadari at this scale. Indeed the remembrance of Al-Husayn [a] has no limits for it only increases year by year. As we remove the black banners from the walls, we salute the Martyrs of Kerbala and declare that we are with you, with you, surely we not with your enemies.
Ya Aba-Abdillah [a] we pledge that we will endeavour to perform your Ziyarah and will endeavour shed tears in your remembrance - at least every Thursday night.
We will remember you and will curse
your enemies when we drink water. Dear Martyrs of Kerbala, we will strive to
apply the principles you stood for in our daily lives; the foremost of which is
dedication and loyalty to the Imam of the Time [a].
Our emotions & related celebrations & mourning are linked to that of the Ahlulbayt (as) & as recommended we end the mouring period on 9th Rabilawal to celeberate
ALWIDA 'AY HUSSAIN' ---- FAREWELL 'O HUSSAIN' !
This nawha is usually recited close to the end of the days of mourning as we bid farewell to our beloved Imam Husayn [a]. It is our belief that these holy personalities also attend majaalis, and as mentioned in this nawha, we bid farewell to all of them until we welcome them again next year, if Allah (swt) grants us life (Poet: Mujahid Luknovi).

Farewell, farewell, farewell, Oh Hussain! These sounds of lamentation and these gatherings, The decor of matam, noha and sorrow� How I wish these hearts would always remain in this state! Ah, my heart breaks, how can I bring myself to say�. Farewell�.. Oh my Guest, this is my last salutation, May any mistakes be forgiven, If I live another year, I will grieve again, Farewell, oh Hussain, oh Hussain, farewell,
