On 13th and 14th of November 2013, two beautiful evenings were organized & arranged by Minhaj-ul-Quran International (Houston, USA) in remembrance of Hazrat Imam-e-Hussain (AS) at Masjid Ghous-e-Azam in Houston. The program was headed by MQI-USA President Razi Niazi Sb and Zafar Iqbal Khan (President, MQI-Houston). Evening started with Quranic recitation by Hafiz Muddasir of the Mosque and then Naat recitation by Mukurrum Niazi in his melodious voice.

The main attraction of the evening was the presence of two scholars of Minhaj-ul-Quran from Pakistan, Allama Afzaal Qadri and Allama Sharif Kamalwi.

Allama Sharif Kamalwi started his wonderful speech on the occasion of ‘Youm-e-Ashoor’ and the events of Karbla. Then he went on to explain as to what was mean by word "Muwadat" in light of verses of Quran. The true Love and Adaab of Hazrat Imam-e-Hussain (AS) was explained by the scholar in his speech.

The second speech was delivered by Allama Afzaal Ahmed Qadri, the student of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri. He threw light on philosophy behind the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam-e-Hussain (AS) and his beloved family. He explained the high station and greatness of the Prophet’s Household, and ideology of Hussainiyat as well as need for remembrance of his message to characterise our lives. Both scholars used references from the books of Hadith and from the works of Shaykh-ul-Islam.

Also, another program was held on incident of Karbala at Jami'a Makkah Masjid where both scholars talked in detail about the true meaning of ‘Shahdat-e-Imam Hussain (AS) in detail. The local crowd enjoyed the intellectual speeches of both scholars. The program was concluded with Salaam and Dua's.
