Can you please stop comparing the current and former Dai to Imam Hussain-Prophet Mohammed or any of other Duaats, Can not compare Sour Oranges to Sweet Apples
Please.............
Every breath of Dai Mutlaq of the past and present is in the service of Allah Ta'ala and his Prophet Mohammed SAW and his Noble Itrat Imam uz Zaman AS . Comparisons are rightly made between them for Imam uz Zaman has allowed the Dai Mutlaq to sit in his seat and run the Dawat like a Captain of a Ship ( Najat Safina ) till he does his zuhoor.
Yemeni mumineen when doing deedar of their Maula TUS sing this nasheed the same way the Ansar sung to Prophet Mohammed SAW upon his arrival to Medina after Hijrat.
ṭala‘a 'l-badru ‘alaynā
min thaniyyāti 'l-wadā‘
wajaba 'l-shukru ‘alaynā
mā da‘ā li-l-lāhi dā‘
Oh the white moon rose over us
From the valley of al-Wadā‘
And we owe it to show gratefulness
Where the call is to Allah.
’ayyuha 'l-mab‘ūthu fīnā
ji’ta bi-l-’amri 'l-muṭā‘
ji’ta sharrafta 'l-madīnah
marḥaban yā khayra dā‘
Oh you who were raised among us
Coming with a word to be obeyed
You have brought to this city nobleness
Welcome best caller to God's way.
