The Crescent and the Moon

The Crescent and the Moon, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

the crescent and the moon
a gift by the Holy Messenger
given to the Muslims as a boon
but the heritage
of peace and brotherhood
they forgot it very soon
massacring each other
on the mound of a sand dune
satanic sentiments
puritanical hate
a message out of tune
muslims love killing muslims
hardened hearts
to love of humanity are immune
the unborn child
on the threshold
of a dreamless death
at high noon

ALLAH HO AKBAR Muslims Love Killing Muslims

SECTARIAN HATE

They say
The mosque is where Allah stays
I found he is in the heart
Where man prays

Earlier the mosque
A place of worship
Now they lob grenades
The pillars of faith rip
A new terror from
Sacred lips
Brotherhood of hate
And no friendship
Belted guns on the hips
A jihad that I see
my heart skips
cycle bombs
slippers
skull caps
human
blood drips
Mecca Medina
Karbala
holy places
one worships
now being terrorized
by cybernetic disaster
at finger tips
muslims love killing muslims
the glory and power of a crescent eclipse
why are we losing our gripâ€¦.
Allah ho Akbar on our lips
Sectarian senselessness we must nip
We owe sanity
And good sense
Traditional values
to the
new generation
that must not trip
Rushing out from a micro chip

allah ho akbar is also a shia hating website
promoted by hate, powered by petro wahhabi dollars
to spite Muslims but in name with each other fight
kill maim shed blood Islamic honor Islamic plight
in Iraq in Afghanistan as Jehadi Terrorism at its height
hidden faces of men in hijabs in the night
Sunni scholars pledge for Peace on Word Press is nothing but
bullshit on sanctimonious posteriors uptight
Might is Might justified by Rogue Mullahs
killing the Kafir is alright
as they their prayers recite
fires of sectarian hate ignite
the masses excite
fatwas of hate to their delight
spewing their bigotry
on human rights

Tandav - The Dance of Death

Shah Ast Hussain- Now Public

I shoot pain as I see pain the view finder of my karmic consciousness.

Every year in Moharam, the Shia festival that commemorates the Martyrdom of Imam Hussain, the grandson of the Holy Prophet of Islam, here in Mumbai and all over the world, I record the pain of my race ,this pain is the core of an intrinsic Shia thought called Ghame Hussain..

ShiasmÂ for me and others like me is not a sect or a domain of religiosity, its a 1400 year protest against Yazidiyat,Â loosely translated Yazidiyat is a form of Terrorism, where at Karbala Imam Hussain and his family went through harrowing times , genocide , all because the Imam did now want to give allegiance to Yazid the Caliph of the Umayad Dynasty.. a despot , and a father of modern terrorism.

As a photo blogger I shot Moharam in most of the main cities of India Mumbai, Kolkatta, Lucknow ,Hyderabad, and Mehmoodabad..I do not glorify blood shedding but here it is done as a protest to wake the community from a eunuch silence , a silence that prevailed when Imam Hussain was being butchered and nobody raised his voice against this misdeed..Much has been done to erase this black chapter from Islamic history, and the puritans greatest enemy is not the American or the Jew it is the Shia..This is my personal view as a self made man ofÂ street survival andÂ man comfortable with all religiosities save radicalism or fundamentalism..

I shoot all religiosity ,80% of my stuffÂ is on Hinduism at my Flickr photo stream is in a collection called Hope and Hindutva.

But as a protest against YazidiyatÂ Â I cut my head with a machete , I walk on fire.. rituals that I shall never give up..

All this is in my Shia collection at Flickr..

you need to be signed in to see most of my stuff ..including the Naga Sadhus and Aghoris whomÂ I have lived with..

Tandav is a dance of Death, that I do after I cut my headÂ twice a yearÂ on Ashura and on Chehlum, on the Soul of Yazid and Shimr..I am a diabetic insulin dependent..My wound heals in two days ..at the most..

The propagationÂ of peace through Shiasm is known as Hussainiyat

Shah -ast hussain is my Shia site ..but all my stuff is at Flickr..

Shah ast Hussain, Badshah ast Hussain
Deen ast Hussain, Deen Panah ast Hussain
Sardad na dad dast, dar dast-e-yazeed,
Haqaa key binaey La ila ast Hussain

Loosely translated

Ruler is Hussain, Emperor is Hussain,
Faith is Hussain , guardian of faith is Hussain .
Offered his head and not the hand to Yazid.

Truly, the mirror of faith is Hussain

Eid E Zehra at My House

Eid E Zehra at My House, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

This was shot the moment I reached Bandra from the Alibagh Bullock Cart Race , I was beat, tired and distraught , my bare feet had taken a toll , I was in simple words zappppppppppd.

But seeing Marziya life came back , I gave my wife the camera she took these frames, she handles my camera like a rolling pin..
It was the Eid E Zehra function at my house, the function had got over, the women of my house dressed in red, ornamental finery, my daughter Samiya had left , I missed her much..

There was Gul Gule all around..great food and delicacies.

The little girl next to me is Muskaan my son Saif Shakirs wife’s niece..

Normally I wear saffron, but because of Holi and the color throwing that would pursue me at Alibagh I chose to wear black..
