Khateeb e Akbar Maulana Athar Saab Mirza is a highly respected Shia Islamic scholar , theologian and Koranic expert, his Majlis at Mogul Masjid are completely HOUSE FULL, the entire Masjid Hall, the court yard the road outside and the bylanes are jam packed seeing him recite his Majlis on close circuit TV.
Maulana Athar Saab Mirza completed 53 years reciting Majlis at the Moghul Masjid. a record of all time..now a record in Limca Book Of Records ..
And the new update in DNA newspaper an article by Manoj R Nair gives a rare in depth insight into the feat of Maulana Athar Saab who has been reciting his Ashura discourse since the young age of 22 and has completed a not stop 53 years service to Humanity.
I am a great fan of Maulana Athar Saab being a Lucknow born and my roots my heritage going back to my grandfather Daroga Nabban Saab descendant of poet Mr Anis..
I have shot Maluana Saab his erstwhile dynamic son Maulana Yasoob Abbas Saab a true humanitarian at various gatherings in Mumbai during Moharam.
According to my humble evaluation of this larger than life Shia personality , Maulana Athar Saab speaks evocatively knowledgeably on the Battle of Karbala its impact on Islamic history , and tries to mend broken fences of sectarian strife, his discourses are about our cultural ethos as Indians as Shias living in peace with all communities , that was the Message of Imam Hussain martyred Grandson of the Holy Prophet, Son of our First Imam Hazrat Ali too..
This message of Peace has been now distorted misinterpreted by satanic evil forces to cause a wedge in the tapestry of our nations calm and quietude..
I pay my humble tribute to Maulana Athar Saabs impressive achievement through my Bandra blog.
