• Behold! He who dies with the hate of the family of Muhammad, has died unbeliever.
• And verily he who dies with the hate of the family of Muhammad, will never hear the smell of Paradise

Definition of Soazkhwani By Prof. Syed Sib-i-Jaafar Zaidi

Salient Features / Some facts about "Soazkhwani"

The literal meaning of soazkhwani is sorrow or smoulder.

It is allegorical attribution to the martyrdom of Imam Husain (A.S), his companions & agony thereof.

There are only three basic vocal fine arts of Islam/Muslims: Qirat, Qawwali & Soazkhwani.

Its beginning can be traced to three centuries back in this subcontinent (especially in Lucknow & its surrounding/U.P).

In SOAZKHWANI classical poetry of Urdu is mostly used as the medium thereof.

Since its inception nobody cared. Discovered & compiled certain rules & regulations of this art. The infrastructure is made/designed by Prof. Sib-i-Jaafer.

Soazkhwani has its own code of conduct, unique to it age old civilization & Islamic culture & has its own phraseology.

The melody & its practice is needed or required in performance of the common arts. Whereas soazkhwani needs the pathos & pains of the incident in a touching & moving style.

It is a deliberate attempt according to the existing situation where message occupies the priority than the art & craft (where the massage comes first & the art after words).

In its compositions of “Ragas” there has been clear contradictions among the “Ragees” (Classical Masters), because no clear, identified, categorized (shudh Raag/Raagnees) are

used in Soazkhwani. It does not maintain the real effect of “Raag”, but exclude the irrelevant.

Tecnacally the singer (Performer, vomposer/Soazkhwan) is a competent, experienced & trained professional/ skilled person, who is entitled “Ustaad”. He is adept hand, who

exercise all the facets of rhythmic metres and knows all the intonations of the lyre.

Ayatollah al-Shaheed as-Sayyed Mohammad Baqir al-Hakim 

 Tribute to Ayatollah Shaheed Baqir al-Hakeem

Shaheed Ayatollah Baqir al Hakeem praying at the Roza of Imam Ali ibne AbuTalib (as)

Ayatollah al-Shaheed as-Sayyed Mohammad Baqir al-Hakim speech on Maqtal Imam Hussain (as) (english subtitles)

Ayatollah Sayed Mohamad Baqir Al-Hakim, was born in 1939, is the son of the late Grand Ayatollah Muhsin AI-Hakim (who was the spiritual leader for the Shia in world in the period 1955-1970). Al-Hakim family is a well known religious Iraqi family loved and respected by millions of Shia Muslims in Iraq and throughout the Muslim world. Since the age of 25 Sayed Al-Hakim, who was born, brought up and studied religion in Najaf - Iraq (the holy city for Shia in the world). He was distinguished scholar and personal religious/political representative of the late Grand Ayatollah AI-Hakim throughout Iraq.

 Sayed Al-Hakim was a co-founder of the Islamic political movement in Iraq established in the late fifties, along with the late distinguished leader Ayatollah Sayed Mohammed Baqir Al-Sadr and other scholars. Ever since Sayed Al-Hakim maintained close association with Ayatollah Al-Sadr up to the martyrdom of Ayatollah Al-Sadr in 1980. In 1972 Sayed Al-Hakim was arrested and tortured by the Bathist regime. He was released after a wide spread popular pressure on the regime. In 1977 he was re-arrested following the people's uprising in Feb. 1977 in Najaf, and immediately sentenced to life imprisonment by special court without any trial. He was released in July 1979 following huge public pressure on the regime.

 Sayed Al-Hakim's association with Ayatollah Al-Sadr continued after his release in 1979 when Ayatollah Al-Sadr was put under house arrest. At this point Sayed Al-Hakim assumed responsibility of conducting clandestine contact with Ayatollah Al-Sadr up to April 1980 when Ayatollah Al-Sadr was murdered by Saddam's regime.

Sayed Al- Hakim decided then to leave Iraq in 1980 shortly after the eruption of war between Iraq and Iran, Sayed Al-Hakim played a prominent role in the deliberations leading to the establishment of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (SCIRI) in November 1982.

 Saddam's regime reacted violently to Sayed Al-Hakim's leading political activity in SCIRI and arrested 125 members of his family in 1983. Subsequently 18 members of his family were executed.

 Despite this ordeal and the assassination of his brother Sayed Mahdi Al-Hakim in Sudan Jan. 1988, Sayed Al-Hakim continued his political activities against Saddam's regime. Beside his political activities, Sayed Al-Hakim is a leading member of several Islamic associations. 

 He is also the author of many books on Islamic and political thoughts.
