As part of the Taabudat events a Taaruf Programme was held in Marol on 22nd March. The event saw a great response with over a 100 candidates registering. The programme itself was a huge success. It began early in the day with Quran-e-Majid tilawat which was then followed by majlis and a CD presentation for the Marol Taaruf. The attendees were then served a sumptuous breakfast.
The programme then picked up momentum with games being conducted for the candidates. The objective of these games was to get participants to familiarize themselves with each other and so the games were aptly called 'icebreakers'. The games served their purpose as the initial awkwardness of the candidates gave way to enthusiasm. In the afternoon the programme adjourned for lunch and namaaz.
Once the programme resumed a Shitaabi Round was held where each candidate met every candidate of the opposite gender for a short period of time. Each candidate was to mark 3 candidates they were most interested in. Based on this meetings between candidates were arranged in private cubicles. Priority was given to the candidates who were mutually interested in each other.
The programme concluded with the candidates reporting back to their counselors about how they felt the meetings went. Many had already started liking each other! The counselors shall now follow up on these and Inshallah in the days to come many of these shall soon turn into marriage.

The Taaruf Camp at AsharaMubaraka, Marol, was a huge success with AqaMaul’as (TUS) dua mubarak. It was for the first time that such an overwhelming response from the candidates was received. More than 485 candidates registered at the camp and 135 Khidmatguzars volunteered in making this event a grand success. What added to the glory was the use of unique software, specially designed for the camp, which made the task of candidate registration, search and other related functions very manageable. Dua and Nazaraat of AqaMaula’s (TUS) was truly apparent in this camp.
The camp started on the 2nd of Moharram and continued up till the 8th. Hundreds of candidates came to take the benefits of the camp. All the candidates had a brief session with their counselors and were shown prospective matches. Many Shitabi Taaruf rounds were also conducted where each candidate got to meet every candidate of the opposite gender for a short time. Thereafter cubicle meetings were arranged where candidates got to spend some quality time with a person of their choice. A hut with a lantern added to the privacy of the meeting. By the end of the camp many candidates were seriously considering each other. 25 couples have already culminated into Nisbat, and the rest by Maula’sDuamight soon turn into one.
A village type of atmosphere with a well at the entrance, pots on the tables, greenery and lanterns all over, made the camp a really pleasant experience. The theme of the camp, ‘Village’, also coincided with the name of the venue ‘Marol Village’. We eagerly look forward to the next AsharaTaaruf camp, where we hope to bring together even more joras.

In this Taaruf Program approximately 25 dikrio & 30 dikrao participated and all the candidates were educationally qualified either HSC/Graduates/Post Graduates Professionals, Doctors, etc. Participants were from Godhra ,Dohad, Burhanpur, Chopda, Mumbai, Baroda, Daman and Surat.
In the beginning 12 ladies counselors and 9 gents’ counselors held meetings with their respective candidates and filled in their forms in detail.
After which shitabi Taaruf amongst the children was held. It was interesting to note that quite a number dikri-o gave three to four dikras name ad their choice. Hence after Namaaz & Lunch cubicle round was conducted which took almost two hours to complete. In between counselors met their candidates and noted their decisions. Amongst 50 odd candidates 4 (two couples) were positive on their choice. Hence the two couples did salaam to Janab Mustaali Bhai Saheb and Ben Saheba Fatema Ben Saheb and did ezhar of their khushi.
Further 4 more candidates were positive but wanted to consult their parents. So, after an interactive game the program ended with a happy note.
Program Details: The Miqaat of Zikrad Dail Ajal Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA held in Surat is quite a significant one in our calendar as it is occasion for two important events: an ITNC camp which is soon followed by a Majlis of Rasme Saifee.
The ITNC camp held on this occasion is quite similar to the one held during the days of Ashara Mubaraka which is also attended by many eligible Farzando. Throughout the days of the annual examination of Al Jamea tus Saifiyah (Al Imtihaan us Sanawi), Dikras and Dikris register themselves at the Camp.
Though the Imtehaan of 1429H was held for just about 9 days, counselors were as enthusiastic as always to match Farzando, however few the days. Candidates attended the camp in healthy numbers and 4 of them were lucky enough to find their match.
At this event, Attaiseer ul Burhani version 2.0 was tested with fairly successful results. This version enabled the complete resumes of candidates to be entered and searched so that counselors could better work on them.
As always, under the supervision of Shehzada Ammar Bhaisaheb Jamaluddin Saheb DM and other Sahebo of Qasre Aali, it was ensured that each candidate was given personal attention and made to feel special. This was particularly apparent from the daily counseling methods to the Taaruf and the Cubicle Meeting programs.
