As-Salaamun Alaikum,

Janabe Zaynab (sa) the Fragrance of Ahl-ul-Bayt

Who was Zaynab? Why do we look up to her? She was the granddaughter of Prophet Muhammad and Khadija, the daughter of Fatima Zahra and Ali, the sister of the Youths of Paradise, Hassan and Hussein, and the beloved aunt of Imam Ali Zayn al Abideen. With such a blessed family, Zaynab had such perfect examples to look up to.

A narration says that J. Zaynab's characteristics represented each of her family member: in her seriousness and calmness she was Khadija; in her modesty and pureness her mother Fatimah; in her meaningfulness, her father Imam Ali; in her restraint and capacity to endure, her brother Imam Hassan; and in courage and lion-hearted, her brother Imam Hussein.

Premiere of film THE KHOJAS: A Journey of Faith

Dr. Hasnain Walji cordially invites the SIJNY Community to attend the East Coast Premier Screening of the Film - The Khojas - A Journey of Faith at the classic Civic Theater of Allentown, 514 N 19th St, Allentown, PA 18104 on Saturday May 14, 2016 at 2:30 PM

The Khoja people are spread in 40 countries, and many have made USA their home. The Al-Ahad Center in Allentown (SIJPA) as well as the Husseini Madressa in Queens are wonderful examples of a Community of civically engaged citizens,
known for their resourcefulness, resilience and business acumen.

This widely acclaimed anthropological 120 minute film traces the 650 year journey of a small band of people from India that has become a well-organized Community spread all over the globe. It is a tale of trials and tribulations of numerous migrations, voluntary and involuntary and the spirit of self-reliance has led to a progressive community that has reached the highest pinnacle of business and academic life.

Hasnain bhai the Producer / Director and his team have put a lot of effort and visited many countries to make this happen.
