When Roots flourish, becomes Stronger, gets Penetrated into the soil then the same thing is reciprocated on its Tree Crown in form of greener Branches, bright Flowers and pulpy Fruits.  This we know as it is a natural process taking place in front of us on the land we live.  We witness this, feel this and believe in it.  But when we talk about the world above this earth i.e. the Unseen World of Enlightenment and Eternity then the case is entire opposite.  Roots are heavenly established, deeply spread across the mighty Universe.  The resulting auspicious Tree from these roots is Da'wat e Haadiyah named as Shajarat e Mubaarakah having its crown beautiful and blissfully spread around the world.  Imaam uz Zamaan AS is its soul and his Du'aat e Kiraam AQ are its stem, branches and leaves.  Whereas the believers who are under its peaceful Shadow are its Fruits and Flowers.

Aqaa Maulaa Saiyedna saheb TUS always reiterates in his bayaan that, "O Mumineen! Stick to your Roots.  Today, what we are is because of our holy roots of Da'wat e Haadiyah that nourishes us for spiritual progress and prepares us against all odds and difficulties.  Originally our tongue is Arabic.  Our books, our thoughts and our lifestyle is not something far from ancient Arab Culture.  Many have forgotten it but we have retained it and surely will make it more practicable and acceptable to our children of Digital Era.  Due to our preparedness and cohesive approach, world scholars are coming forward to study our community where Modernity meets Traditionality."

This message was echoed and pressed into the intellect of a selective gathering at Daar us Salaam, when Aqaa Maulaa Saiyedna Haatim Zakiyuddin saheb TUS welcomed two esteemed guests Dr. Amro Ma'ad Yakrab Husain al-Hamdaani from Yemen and Dr. Hayder Karbalaai from Karbalaa on 4 Safar 1445 AH/20 August 2023, Sunday.  They are working on the books of Isma'ili-Taiyebism.  They are more concerned of the literary gems carved out by the Du'aat of Yemen.  They are representing large number of scholars from around the world whom they know and have great belief that no one other than Saiyedna saheb TUS is capable to get and make them understand the intricacies of Kutub e Da'wat e Haadiyah.  They have come to initiate the work with Saiyedna saheb TUS about the Uniqueness of Alavi Bohras and the History of Shi'a-Isma'ili-Taiyebi mazhab through the perspective of their Du'aat.

Their Objectives and Observations:

  1. We are feeling as if we are sitting in front of our father.
  2. We cannot believe ourselves in spending hours together with Da'i uz Zamaan TUS discussing various topics.
  3. We get direct information from an authority which is unquestionable.
  4. We want to make world realise the basics of Alavi Bohras and the qualities of their Da'i.
  5. Due to their population, other Isma'ili or Bohra communities have distorted or fabricated history or beliefs to fulfill their personal interests.  In such a situation it’s our responsibility to bring the truth on the forefront and do justice to the community like Alavi Bohras.
  6. We want to make the Arab world aware of the history and customs of the most simple and systematic followers of Saiyedna Haatim Zakiyuddin saheb TUS, who willfully adhere to the path of Ahl ul Bayt AS with all their rights and responsibilities.
  7. We know many people working on the books of Misri or Yemeni Du'aat.  Now when we know the truthfulness of Alavi Da'i, we will suggest those scholars and researchers to take topics related to Alavi history, their struggle in Ahmedabad and Vadodara.
  8. We are perplexed by the way Saiyedna saheb TUS works to preserve the books and culture of Du'aat e Kiraam AQ.
  9. We have come across many Sardars and Sultans, but what we found here near Saiyedna saheb TUS is purely Zaad ul Aakherah and the enthusiasm to make the lives of the believers full of peace and patience.
  10. The land from where we are i.e. Iraq and Yemen, beacons Alavi Bohras to again recognise their roots, come forward to regain their lost command and work together to make themselves more audible and distinct by serving and observing the injunctions of Du'aat e Kiraam AQ.
  11. The language of our religion Islam is Arabic.  We would like to see Alavi Bohras become aware of this language and get into the depths of the Oceans of their Faith.
