RIP Alisha Bhai The Streets of JJ Will Never Be The Same This Moharam Or Other Moharams To Come ,, You Will Be Terribly Missed
I Am A Hardcore Fan Of Ali Shah Greatest Matamdar of Mumbai...
Ali Shah is famous all over the Shia world for his Zanjir matam ..everyone in the Shia community wants to emulate his expression of bleeding Faith...his piety his devotion his love for Ahle Bayt.
In my entire life I am 62 years old and the man who instilled in me the feelings of love piety dedication of Imam Hussain is Ali Shah Bhai .. he was the only Shia in Mumbai whose love was pure , pristine and with no restrictions .
And there are Shia kids he has inspired with his humility ,and he inspired me too I wish more Shias in Mumbai were like him but the few I met were no less than bully's racists and with no respect for a persons age or seniority ..they take Hussains name on one side and abuse people of their community on the other side and sadly for them their Moharam lasts till Moharam ..in my case Moharam will perhaps end the day I die and my body given to Medicine .. I do not wish to be buried in a Shia cemetery I want to give my body parts to those who I shot the blind the cripple and the diseased and I certainly dont want 72 vestal virgins here or in the hereafter .
Ali Shah Bhai I have not met for many years now I stopped taking part or shooting Moharam in Mumbai .completely as there is rabid lot that think they are custodians of Shiasm and representatives of Imam Hussain on earth and want to call the shots ,, I have seen a lot
..
So the only thing I really miss about Mumbai Moharam is Ali Shah Bhai and Jalal Mamu.. I remember I could not get a ticket to go to Chehlum in Hyderabad ..I had to stay back in Mumbai ,, I went up to my terrace using my dagger I began cutting my head ,..this was my Chehlum.,,, alone me and my inner self ..
I try to find out about Ali Shah Sabs health .. he has been the finest role model to all of us ..and seeing him doing Zanjir matam at Hussain Tekri I too took a Kashmiri mans dagger and cut myself..and wherever I go out of Mumbai everyone asks me about this great matamdar Ali Shah Bhai..once he begins scourging himself even 30 people cannot stop him..
Yes today we need more Ali Shahs .. than the so called Shias who are Shias only in name and terrorizing people that cannot and will not be like them..
This is my humble tribute to Ali Shah Bhai..may he live long and may he always prosper and be a role model for every Shia ..
I remember when my Danish friend Kim saw Ali Shah bhai scourging he was filled with tears ,,, and asked me do such people exist..
Moharam for us is protest against the killers of Imam Hussain .. and the progeny of Yazid is much alive call them what you want the ISIS is the product of a Yazidi seminal seed ...so we protest we bleed ..peace hope humanity is what we need ..luckily we are not part of yazids breed ,,the butcher of karbala lust and greed even in death all diseased.
