AMATE SYEDNA AALIQADAR MUFADDAL SAIFUDDIN MAULA (TUS) RASHIDA: RIDA

RIDA - OUR JEWEL

OUR MAULA'S GIFT !

Rida is our most precious Jewel, It's Our Maula's Gift to us Muminaat, Our Maula want us to become like a jewel, the most precious and pure.

Muminaat word is used for Us Muminaat, why not women?

The reason is simple, We are the chosen ones, the blessed ones. Our Maula wants us to be unique, special and hence, given us this special gift of Rida. Rida, the Jewel of Our Maula's Mohabbat.

Let's see the Barakaat of Rida:

1. MAULA'S KHUSHI MUBARAK: Rida Apna Aqa Ane Maula Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin Maula RA ane Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin Maula TUS aapni khushi haasil karva nu sabab chhe.

2. UNIQUE IDENTITY: It gives us a Unique Identity,Makes us stand out in the crowd.Our very own Identity.

3. SYMBOL OF RESPECT AND TRUST: Our Rida not only earns us Respect but also Trust.

4. ENHANCES ZEENAT: Rida enhances muminaats beauty, it camouflages the flaws if any.After adorning this Jewel, no other jewel is needed to enhance a muminaat's beauty.

5. APNAPANU: Right, Rida ma Apnapanu chhe, Its amazing how we instantly get connected to Apnawala because Apnapanu chhe. Apna Bewe Maula na Ehsaan chhe.

6. LIHAZ IN PARDA: Today, Muminaat are doing everything in Rida, we have prefessionals wearing Rida to work, Young girls are participating in sports with full Lihaz in Rida.Infact, last year in Maaraz I learnt about Sports Rida. Amazing....Right?

7. SENSE OF SECURITY: Rida not only enhances a Muminaat's beauty but also protects us and gives us a sense of security.

8. GUIDES US: Adorning Rida, it constantly reminds us of our duties as a Muminaat and always keeps us on the track, that we always do Amal to attain our Maula's Khushi Mubarak and keep sowing seeds of good deeds.

Still there are some who wear Rida only while going to Masjid or Mazar Mubarak. And even more annoying is some wear Rida on western outfits.

Few years back during Ashara Mubarakah, In waaz talaqqi session in Fatemi Masjid, Raudat Tahera, one muminaat bahen gave a very nice example, an eye opener for those who wear Rida on western outfits.

She said, just imagine if right now suddenly Aqa Maula TUS gives Qadambosi Sharaf to Muminaat baheno,then will you be able to go forward for Qadambosi knowing the fact what you are wearing inside?

Rida should be worn with full respect and dignity.The more precious you think you are, the more protected you should keep yourself from people's gaze.

Some points to remember :

* Don't make ghagra like a skirt, it should not be very tight like a skirt.

* Make small bows with your pardi kas, looks decent. Simple tying of Kas can speak volume about your personality.

* Avoid wearing Rida which has Pardi of one colour and ghagra of other.

* The length of the pardi should atleast reach the wrist.

* The length of the ghagra should atleast reach the ankle.

* If possible select thick cloth material for Rida

The above are the points that I have come across during Rida Maaraz and Rida Learning Workshop, Do share if you have any more points.

Having said Rida is a Jewel, Our Maula has gifted us, would like to add one more thing here.....

Remember a Jewel is gifted only to someone special, Maula has chosen us ,We are the fortunate ones that Maula has gifted us this Jewel.Alhamdolillah!

It is Every Muminaat's wish to attain Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin Maula RA and Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin Maula TUS's Khushi and Rida Mubarak.

DIL DAI E FATEMA KHUSH HAMSE HUA KAREIN.....AAMEEN.

May Allah give us the Taufiq to wear Rida always and also understand its Fazilat.

Khuda Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin Maula RA, aapna Azimush Shaan Mansoos, Dai Az Zaamaan, Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin Maula Ni umar sharif ne qayamat na din lag daraz ane daraz karjo, Aameen.

Sharing here experience of a Muminaat Bahen from Colombo, Sri lanka:

Shakeraben said: I am Scouting and the International uniform for ladies is grey colour saree, but we managed to get permission to make GREY RIDA and once our pic appeared in the papers.

We get a lot of respect when we go on camps maybe bcoz of Rida.We are the 92nd Burhani Columbo Scout Group.

Bravo Shakeraben! Indeed an Achievement....
