Hazrat Abbas (a.s.) The Shield of Hussain
Born to the Lion of Allah, Imam Ali (a.s.), and Lady Umm-ul-Baneen, Hazrat Abbas (a.s.) grew into a warrior blessed with courage and wisdom. His title Alamdaar, the flag bearer, marks his lifelong pledge: protect Imam Hussain (a.s.) and the thirsty children of Ahlulbayt (a.s.). When he went to fetch water from the Euphrates, it was not merely a military mission but a father’s promise to his parched family. Even after his arms were severed, he guarded the mashk until his last breath, proving that the standard of loyalty never bows to oppression.
Anjuman-e-Imamia Malir Carrying the Banner Forward
Founded in Karachi’s Malir district, Anjuman-e-Imamia Malir has become a focal point for azadari in Sindh. The organization coordinates processions, majalis, and large alam rallies every Muharram, drawing thousands of mourners who gather to honor Hazrat Abbas (a.s.) and the martyrs of Karbala. Its social pages’ document years of devotional activities, from Shab-e-Ashur lamentations to Arbaeen processions, cementing its reputation as a home for heartfelt azadari. Live streams of their majalis reach global audiences, intertwining the local spirit of Malir with the worldwide Shia community.
Arbaz Jafri’s Voice the Sound of Loyalty
Within these gatherings, the voice of Syed Ali Arbaz Jafri rises like the very flag Abbas bore. His noha “Alam-e-Abbas Sar Buland Hai” captures the thunder of hoofbeats and the hushed sobs of the camp. Listeners feel the dust of Karbala underfoot and the desperate cry for water. Arbaz Jafri’s deliberate pauses mirror the moment Abbas paused at the riverbank, refusing a sip until the children drank first. His crescendo mirrors the clash of sword on shield, and his final whisper mirrors Abbas’s silent farewell.

Conclusion
Hazrat Abbas ibn Ali (a.s.) embodied courage, selflessness, and service. His banner did not simply mark a battlefield; it announced eternal resistance against tyranny. Through the powerful nohas of Syed Ali Arbaz Jafri and the dedicated work of Anjuman-e-Imamia Malir, that banner remains aloft in the skies of faith. May every tearful recitation, every lifted alam, and every whispered Ya Abbas carry forward the mission of Karbala.
Labbaik Ya Abbas. Labbaik Ya Hussain.
