2.0 SALUTATIONS “And We delivered him and the inmates of Ark, and We made it a sign unto the people of the worlds.” — Qur’an: Sura al-Ankabut, Verse 15. “The likeness of my Household (Ahl ul-Bayt) is that of the Ark of Noah, whosoever entered it would be saved, and whosoever turned away from it, would be drowned and perished.” — Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (saww), Peace be with him and his Pure Progeny With the commencement of Ayyam-e-Gham Imam Husain (as), we offer our salutations to the Holy Prophet Muham-mad (saww), Janab-e-Fatima Zehra(sa) and Imam Ali ibne Abi Talib (as). Salutations to the Holy and Pure Progeny of the Great Prophet. May the Almighty hasten the return of Imam-e-Zamaan (as).

3.0 BUILDING ON THE FOUNDATION OF AZADARI “Peace be upon you, O Imam Husain (as), and peace be upon those souls who supported you in your mission. We send you our salutations for as long as we live, and for as long as there is night and day. Ya Husain!” Asalaam Alaikum Community of IEC Husaini, The month of Muharrum 1432H has arrived. We are grateful that we have another opportunity to mourn the tragedy brought upon our Imam Husain (as) and his pure family, may peace be upon them. Through Majalis-e-Aza we extend our humble invitation to Janab-e-Fatima Zehra (sa) and offer our condolences to the Lady of Paradise. Thirty-six years ago the Islamic Education Center, Husaini Association of Greater Chicago, Inc. was created and organ-ized as the place for azadari. IEC Husaini is once again proud to host and serve hundreds of Azadars on a nightly basis in the commemoration of the tragedy of Karbala. IEC is also honored to welcome ten (10) Islamic Scholars to address majalis-e-aza over the next two months Insha’Allah. We hope you take advantage of learning from these distinguished scholars. For your convenience, the complete majalis programs and activities schedule is captured within this guide. Please take the time to review the Ayyam-e-Gham Imam Husain (as) Program Guide. We hope it serves as a useful reference. As we begin the Muharrum we would like to mention that the IEC Building Expansion Project and related work has been progressing strongly since first being introduced at this time last year 1431H. Many accomplishments and mile-stones have been achieved over the past year related to the project, most notably the completion of the final architec-tural plan. Insha’Allah with your continuing support we can build on the foundation that was set 36 years ago. Please support the IEC building expansion project and assure that azadari at IEC Husaini is secure for generations to come. Jazakum’Allah Khair.

Imsaak/Fajr Salat Note: The original calculated Fajr time is exactly between above mentioned Imsaak and Fajr Salat timings. As a precaution we have subtracted 7 minutes for Imsaak, and added 7 minutes for Salatul Fajr. Therefore you will be responsible for your Sawm (fasting) and Salat if you don’t follow this precaution. If you exceed 7 minutes from Imsaak time, your Sawm (fasting) will be Batil (void). As far as Tahajjud Salat is concerned, it can be continued during this 7 minutes precautionary time.

Note: The start of each lunar month (Hijri date) is subject to sighting of the moon. IEC will update www.iechusaini.org and email a revised calendar if this occurs.

IEC would like to request a financial contribution to cover these costs. Sponsors can contribute tabarruk, operations cost or both. Two sponsors are encouraged for each majlis, however one sponsor is free to contribute in both areas if they desire. If you have questions, please feel free to contact management. Please reference majalis programs sections 5.3 and 8.0 of this program guide for OPEN tabarruk dates. Please contact Sr. Majida Mehdi (630-889-0764) for tabarruk scheduling. There are still plenty of choice dates available. Please do take this advantage of this tremendous opportunity to earn abundant sawaab by contrib-uting towards Majlis-e-Aza. Jazakum'Allah Khair!

9.0 PARKING

USE ONLY WHEN DIRECTED BY

VT. Overflow parking after 7pm at Merlin and Currency Exchange lots ONLY. YOU MUST DRIVE TO IEC FIRST.

9.1 Parking Tips The dedicated and brave Volunteer Team organizes and manages parking at IEC. Even in inclement weather while enduring bitter cold, the VT makes a great sacrifice to manage multiple parking areas, includ-ing shuttle service to overflow parking lots. All Azadars are requested to follow their direction and ex-ercise patience. IEC is expecting unprecedented traffic during the Ayyam-e-Aza. Please take note of the parking tips listed below. The VT will be present to help and assist to the best of their abilities. Below are a few parking tips that will help in parking your car:

1. Follow all directions given by the Volunteer Team. Please pull completely into the parking spot. 2. Please carpool whenever possible. Please prepare for a large number of arriving and/or departing

Mu’mineen and Mu’minaat constantly during programs. Please be patient and follow the instructions of the VT when loading and unloading passengers.

3. Safety first. Drive slow. Please be patient. Entry and exit will be slow. Safety is first priority. 4. Azadar drop-off and pick-up will be only be at the VT designated areas and not any place else. 5. Larger vehicles (i.e. Van, SUV, Truck) are requested NOT to be parked in the center parking aisles, but

instead in the outer aisles. The length of these vehicles often hinders and/or obstructs proper traffic flow. Larger vehicles parked in the center parking aisles have an increased susceptibility to scratches, dents and damage. IEC is not responsible for damage to vehicles.

6. Please exercise caution while parking. continued...

10.0 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

IEC would like to kindly ask its respected Community for increased support, patience and a bit of sacrifice during the important, busy and highly-attended ayyam-e-aza programs. IEC would like to make a few rec-ommendations with the intent that these will prove helpful in your daily visit. IEC hopes to provide its Mu’mineen and Mu’minaat with the best experience at every program. Jazakum’Allah Khair.

Recommendations: 1. Boys and Girls must be in the company and under the supervision of their parents at all times at IEC. Sons MUST sit with their fathers during majlis. Daughters MUST sit with their mothers. Boys five (5) years of age or older are not allowed in any part of the lower level ladies hall and/or rooms. Un-supervised boys who sneak into the lower level often misbehave, disturb Mu’minaat and make noise. IEC is not liable for any harm or injury to a child due to lack of parental supervision. Please be advised that the VT will be monitoring both halls, common hallways, rooms and stairwells for unaccompanied children and enforcing their return to their father or mother. Please speak with your child before attending majlis and remind them of IEC’s disciplinary expectations.

2. Please keep IEC Husaini CLEAN! Please appropriately dispose of any waste including used plates, cups, napkins and utensils. Please put litter in its place. Please do not litter outside of IEC.

3. Please do NOT congregate in the men’s coat room or on any neighborhood street. Smokers can use the portico sidewalk and front door sidewalk.

4. Tabbaruk Sponsors; on nights when dinner is served, please feel free to request or accept the help of the Volunteer Team with buffet set-up, buffet traffic flow, food serving and clean-up.
