REST IN PEACE MY DEAR FRIEND

-
I received the news of sudden passing away of my dear brother and friend Syed Qalbi Hussain Rizvi in Mecca on18th September 2015. He was there for Hajj pilgrimage along with the Hajj delegation of Islamic of Iran. Qalbi Sahab as we used to call him lovingly was residing in Qom since many decades. I knew him since 1979, the time of Islamic Revolution. Those were great times as we were mesmerized by Imam Khomeini. Qalbi Sahab was our leader in Kashmir. He was really a dedicated supporter of Imam. You would always find him at the fore front of any event related to the revolution. It was during this time a strange event happened. I was doing my internship in Department of Surgery in 1985 when he came to me and was diagnosed as having gall bladder stones. I got him admitted in our unit and arranged for his surgery. During the operation he had a cardiac arrest and was technically dead for some time. We were able to resuscitate him with great difficulty. And I feel sad that this time after about 30 years we lost him. He later migrated to Iran and worked in Qom where he did really great job as a calligrapher and translator. He was one of those silent contributors who come, do their job without advertising and pass away. The real heroes. If you go through this bkog you will find mention about him in my post regarding my visit to Iran. It was made possible because of him. I am personally indebted to him. May Allah reward him for his efforts and give him place near his beloved Imam Hussain (A.S). I saw him last about a month ago when he visited me at Fortis Hospital Delhi for a check-up. I did not know then that this was the last time I was seeing my friend. Well this is life. Some have done their job and have left and some are waiting. Rest in peace my dear brother and friend Will miss you.

" Culture and heritage are not about stones and buildings, they are about identities and belongings . They carry values from the past that are important for the societies today and tomorrow. We must safeguard the heritage because it is what brings us together as a community; it is what binds us within a shared destiny"  Irina Bokova (1)       The two images above are graphic representations of the problem I want to highlight in this post. The image below is the image of Baqee cemetery as it was before it was vandalized by the Wahabi, Saudi regimen. The image above is it's current status not only demolished but chained and guarded. This is classical example of " CULTURAL GENOCIDE" which continues till today unabated.

This definition emphasizes the physical elimination of the group which is the target

WE PREPARE AND THEY ALSO PREPARE

-
We prepare to commemorate the martyrdom of the grandson of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and they prepare to kill us. We just want to cry for Imam Hussain (A.S) and they want to prevent us from doing so. How does our crying effect them? If we are commemorating an event which is not recent and does not concern them then why are they angry with us? They say Karbala was merely a poltical battle between two persons and has no religous significane. O.K then why are you afraid? What makes you so uneasy? If few thousand mad people are commemorating an event which took place more than 1400 years ago and insist on crying, hurting themselves beating their chests how is it harming you? Just leave them alone, and they will fizzle out. Yesterday a 20 year old suicide bomber blew himself up in Kohat killing 20 people most of them shia women and children at a bus stop. What did you tell this 20 year old suicide bomber and how did you motivate him to do what he did? What danger did these women and children
