Moosavi’s message on the occasion of Wisaal-e-Nabi (SAAW) and Youm-e-Shahadat of Hazrat Imam Hassan Mujtaba (A.S.)

RAWALPINDI, February 1: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya, Pakistan, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that like respect and dignity of Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW) similarly the respect and dignity of his Ahle Bait Athaar (A.S.) is also binding and insulting them is a great sin the punishment of which is death which should be given without delay. This was stated by him in a special message issued on the occasion of Wisaal-e-Nabi Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (SAAW) and Youm-e-Shahadat of Shahzada Sulah-o-Aman Hazrat Imam Hassan Mujtaba (A.S.) which are being observed throughout the country Wednesday with religious spirit, devotion and respect.

Agha Moosavi said that Allah Says in Surah Al-Hujraat of Holy Quran: “O ye who believe! Be not forward in the presence of Allah and His messenger, and keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower. O ye who believe! Lift not up your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor shout when speaking to him as ye shout one to another, lest your works be rendered vain while ye perceive not. Lo! they who subdue their voices in the presence of the messenger of Allah, those are they whose hearts Allah hath proven unto righteousness. Theirs will be forgiveness and immense reward.” He said Hazoor (SAAW) was declared the cause of creation of the universe: “I was a hidden treasure, I wanted to be identified, so I created (O, Habeeb) you.” On this basis, Khanwada-e-Risalat has been declared the most respected Khanwada and Dana-e-Kull Ahmed-e-Mursal (SAAW) is the Syed-o-Sardar of all prophets and Mursaleen. He said respect of the Rasool (SAAW) is binding on the whole humanity and no one is allowed to give priority to his decision over the decisions made by Allah and His Rasool (SAAW). It is the beauty of the faithfuls to bow down before the commandments of Allah and His Rasool (SAAW).

The TNFJ chief said that on this basis, some Mufassireen wrote that some people from Banu Tameem tribe visited the Rasool (SAAW) and it was being discussed that who should be appointed ruler on Banu Tameem. One of the Sahaba proposed Qa’aqa’a Bin Saeed while another proposed Iqra’a Bin Habis. Both Sahaba exchanged words and the pitch of their voice went high. Thus the above mentioned Ayahs of Surah Hujraat were sent and Sahaba were stopped to raise their voice before the Rasool (SAAW) rather to wait what Rasool (SAAW) states in this regard. It is the dignity of Risalat, therefore, one can understand that if Rasool (SAAW) is walking then no one should walk ahead of him. If he (SAAW) is talking then no one should try to give his comments ahead of him. In other words, advance in any matter from the Rasool (SAAW) is declared blasphemy.

Similarly, in the second Ayah, he said one is stopped from raise his voice in a gathering in which Hazoor (SAAW) is present. It is a big desecration and insult the punishment of which is that all deeds of that person would become useless with his knowledge. Then those people are being praised who keep their voice low in front of the Hazoor (SAAW). Zaat-e-Illahi has purified their hearts for Taqwah and nothing could be put in their hearts but fear of Allah. Like the respect and dignity of Rasool (SAAW) is binding, the respect and dignity of Ahle Bait Athaar (A.S.) is also binding because this is the Khanwada of Ismat and Taharat, the Ayah-e-Tatheer was sent. There is a saying of Imam Shafa’aee that if Darood-o-Salam is not recited during the Nimaz on them, that Nimaz goes unaccepted.

Similarly, Agha Moosavi said, Sadqah is Haram on Rasool (SAAW) and also on those holy personalities on which the Ahadees-e-Nabavi stand witness and like devotion for Rasool (SAAW) is declared binding, similarly the devotion for Ahle Bait (A.S.) has been declared Ajr-e-Risalat. Allah says in Ayah 23 of Surah Ash-Shura in Para-25 of Quran: “Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): “I ask of you no fee therefor, save loving kindness among kinsfolk.” One personality from amongst Ahle Bait (A.S.) is that of Shahanshah-e-Arab and Ajam Shahzada Sulah-o-Aman Hazrat Imam Hassan (A.S.) and his brother Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) have the honour to be Farzandan-e-Rasool according to Ayah-e-Mobahila. In Ayah 61 of Sura Aal-e-Imran of Para-3 in Quran, Allah says: “And whoso disputeth with thee concerning him, after the knowledge which hath come unto thee, say (unto him): Come! We will summon our sons and your sons, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, then we will pray humbly (to our Lord) and (solemnly) invoke the curse of Allah upon those who lie.”

But, the TNFJ chief said, the international colonial powers do not like that honour and dignity that is why they utilise all their energy in desecrating the Hazoor (SAAW), his Ahle Bait (A.S.) and pious Sahaba Kubaar (R.A.). No day passes when they do no commit desecration against Islam, Sha’air-e-Islam, Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW) and his greatest Khanwada despite the fact that Allah has honoured Bani Adam with honour and respect under “Karamna Bani Adam” and there is not distinction rather whoever is Bani Adam is renowned and respectable what to talk about Anbia, Mursaleen, Swaleheen and master of them all Khatamul Nabbiyeen (SAAW) who has been given the title of “Wa Maa Arsalnaka Al-Rehmatul Lil Alimeen”. Not only his (SAAW) respect and honour is binding but similarly that of his Khanwada and Sahaba Mukrimeen is also binding. And insult to Hazoor (SAAW) and Ahle Bait (A.S.) is a great sin punishment of which is death and no delay is allowed in carrying out that punishment.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that Yazid (Laeen) committed insult to the Hazoor (SAAW) and his Khanwada-e-Ismat (A.S.) after Rasool’s (SAAW) Wisaal by saying “La’abat Banu Hashim Bil Mulak Fala . . .” That Banu Hashim had played a game while neither any Wahi nor Ilhaam came. When he violated the commandments of Allah, the great personality of this Khanwada Syed-us-Shuhada Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) offered that great sacrifice that was termed “Wa Fidaina Bey Zibhe Azeem”. Therefore, Nawasa-e-Rasool (SAAW) warned him and stopped him rather sacrificed his near and dear ones but did not allow any scar on the dignity of Rasool (SAAW). Later, the Mukhaderaat-e-Ismat and Taharat of this Khanwada Hazrat Zainab (S.A.), Hazrat Umm-e-Kulsoom (S.A.) and Rasool’s (SAAW) grandson Hazrat Ali Ibn Al-Hussain known as Zainul Abideen (A.S.) bore all difficulties in gaol and delivered courageous and heart-rending khutbaat in the streets of Kufa and Shaam and in the courts of Ibne Ziad and Yazid that not only shattered the Qasr-e-Yazidiyyat rather unveiled the fake veils from the faces of Yazid and his colleagues and declared his name a source of curse till the Day of Judgement. While Rasool (SAAW) and his honourable Khanwada still enjoy supremacy and will remain so for ever.

Allah says: “We have raised your Zikr”. Therefore, wherever the name of Zaat-e-Illahi comes, there comes the name of Muhammad (SAAW) and Darood also comes on Muhammad (SAAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.). “Zahid, we salute your Nimaz, without devotion to Ahle Bait (A.S.) worship is Haram.” That is why Zaat-e-Illahi declared subservience to them as subservience to Him and said: “If you are truthful in your claim of devotion to Allah then follow the Hazoor (SAAW) and perform what he says”. By observing the Wisaal of Hazoor (SAAW) and Shahadat of his loving grandson Imam Hassan (A.S.) during the Hafta Azmat-e-Mustafa and Mujtaba we should prove that: Ki Muhammad (SAAW) sey Wafa Tu Ney Tau Hum Terey Hein, Yeh Jehan Cheeze Hey Kiya Loh-o-Qalam Terey Hein.

Arbaeen: Message of Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi

RAWALPINDI, January 24: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that all patriotic people will have to display practical unity so as to root out incidents of terrorism, suicide attacks, and target killings going on for a long and thwart the nefarious designs of the enemy through spirit of Hussainiyyat. This was stated by him in a special message on the occasion of universal Chehlum of Syed-us-Shuhada Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) that is being observed throughout the country Tuesday with religious spirit, devotion and respect. He said not a single day passes without an incident of terrorism in the garb of which, jalao-gherao, forced call-offs, strikes, rallies and protest meetings have become the order of the day.

Agha Moosavi said the enemies of Pakistan are bent upon defaming Pakistan and consider holiest days beneficial to fulfil their nefarious designs. He said Ashra-e-Muharram, Majalis-e-Aza and mourning processions at most of the places remained peaceful on the occasion of Ashra-e-Muharram which is not the job of any single Maktab or a person but it was the fruit of joint unity and brotherhood of all schools of thought. He said the anti-Pakistan elements have now starting infiltrating into villages, towns and even at Mohallah level. These elements are behind the couple of incidents that took place in Rawalpindi region recently, he said adding that we will have to thwart all types of conspiracy and mischief on the occasion of Chehlum of Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.) because besides security institutions, everyone is under the obligation to fulfil his duty. He said Islam condemns all types of oppression, brutality and bias as it is commensurate with peace and tranquillity.

The TNFJ chief made it clear that Nawasa-e-Rasool Hazrat Imam Hussain Ibne Ali (A.S.), by offering sacrifice in Karbala along with his 72 near and dear ones, not only protected religion and Shariat but also gave a new lease of life to respect and dignity of humanity. He said Hussain (A.S.) is respectable not only for any particular group or region but the whole humanity is proud of his unmatched sacrifice and considers him the central point of their survival and welfare. He made it clear that Arbaeen-e-Hussain is the day of remembrance of those brave personalities who guide us how to struggle for independence movements and how to live in dignity. He said 20th Safar-ul-Muzaffar is the day of Chehlum of those pious personalities who sacrificed their blood and bore march of Mukhaderat-e-Ismat and Taharat in the streets of Kufa and Shaam and in the courts of Ibne Ziad and Yazid for the sake of religion and Shariat, independence, freedom to set up a strong foundation for consciousness. He said Azadari-e-Mazloom will continue till the Zahoor of Imam Mehdi (A.S.).

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that Khutba of Zainul Abideen (A.S.) in the court of Yazid had unveiled the real faces of Yazidiyyat. He said Hussain (A.S.) saved humanity and Islam while Zainab (S.A.) and Zainul Abideen (A.S.) gave a new lease of life to Hussainiyyat. He paid condolences to Khanwada-e-Ahle Bait Athaar (A.S.), pious Sahaba Kubaar, followers of religion and Shariat, and the oppressed world on this occasion. He reiterated the resolve to keep the flag of justice and fair-play flutter high the world over and condemn oppression and brutality.

Moosavi says Chakwal has become Sohrab Goth, search operation must for peace, form tribunal on Choa Sedan Shah incident … warns whoever will do against religion and shariah, milad un Nabi, azadari, and nation will find us hurdle in his way

RAWALPINDI, January 23: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said processions of Milad-un-Nabi (SAWW) and Azadari of Syedush Shuhada (AS) are chain of great and steady protest continued for 14 centuries against blasphemors.

Talking to a delegation of Chakwal’s matmi azadaran that called on him under leadership of Malik Murtajiz Hasan, he said azadari processions are in fact the very first anti-blasphemy protest based by Hazrat Zainab (AS) and Imam Sajjad (AS) by delivering speeches on Risalat great status in bazars and courts of Kufa and Shaam after Karbala tragedy.

Moosavi said the sole dictator namely Yazid had said commiting open blasphemy that neither any thing revealed to the Prophet (SAWW) nor any angel descended, and that Bani Hashim made trick to get rule. Then the son of prophet (SAWW) came to the battle-field against this blasphemy and insult to religion and shariah. That is why all Muslims regardless of any discrimination salute to the greatness of the grandson of Prophet (SAWW) and the both recognized schools of thought i.e. Shia and Sunni hold programs during Muharram ul Haram and Safar to pay homage to Imam Hussain (AS) considering Hussainiyat the biggest front against blasphemors even the non-Muslims honor Imam Hussain (AS) and term his supreme sacrifice lesson-giving.

The TNFJ chief said Chakwal is examplary model of Shia-Sunni brotherhood that is why 90 percent brothers belonging to Sunni sect not only participate in majalis and processions arrangements rather render every possible cooperation to azadaran. He expressed great concern that since long a large number of people belonging to a neighboring country have stayed in Chakwal in form of Mahajireen turning it into Sohrab Goth. These mahajireen have been taken control of city’s business as well as they have purchased sites in villages.

Moreover, government agencies themselves stand witness that they (mahajireen) have interference in such kinds of incidents to make them stable.

Strongly condemning Choa Sedan Shah incident, Moosavi said some powers desire to create Karachi-like situation in Rawalpindi region therefore the government must immediately hold search operation of Chakwal, withdraw majhajireen from the city and send them to their native country, form judicial tribunal to punish the culprits, make no concession with anyone, cause Choa Sedan Shah procession to culminate on its destination according to its traditional route, compensate people, rein in Jalao-gherao doers and adopt such strategy that could help prevent such incidents.

He further demanded from the government to find out district administration that why it was unaware of this kind of situation despite the fact that earlier a big incident was happened in Chakwal city. He expressed astonishment that the local administration has banned even deceased ulema in different cities but given free hand to terrorists.

The TNFJ chief warned that whoever will do against religion and shariah, milad un Nabi, azadari, and nation and the country, will find us a hurdle in his way. He made clear that protest against injustice is fundamental right of everyone, and it needs no permission of anyone. If political rallies, dharne (sit-in), strikes and processions could be held then what does noise against milad un Nabi and azadari processions mean? He said azadari processions are the fountainhead of protest of oppressed nations; all have learned the method of protest from here, he added.

Moosavi appealed to all schools of thought to foil rift-creating conspiracy by displaying unity. People should remain peaceful, keep strict eye on miscreants, and prefer peace and national integrity.

TNFJ High level Meeting resolutions

RAWALPINDI, January 22: The high level meeting of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan presided over by Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi ended late Friday night. According to Central Spokesman of the Tehreek Syed Qamar Zaidi, the patricipants of the meeting adopted many resolutions. On of the resolutions reminded that like Muharramul Haram, the month of Safar-ul-Muzaffar is also respectable and the government should make fool-proof security arrangements during the programmes of universal Abraeen-e-Hussain (Chehlum of Shuhada-e-Karbala), while people should also remain alert so as to thwart any mischief and conspiracy of the enemies of the religion and motherland. In another resolution incidents of target killings going on in Karachi and incidents of terrorism reported from the provinces and the Federal capital were strongly condemned. In this connection, rulers, politicians and all patriotic citizens were advised to utilise all their energy in turning the country into a hub of peace.

They expressed their astonishment that our rulers remained submissive on being accused of Bombay incident despite the fact that Pakistan is being given the bloodbath by the enemies of the country. The resolution made it clear tht Pakistan’s intelligence agencies have provided concrete proof many a time that a foreign hand i.e. our perpetual enemy was involved in incidents of terrorism being carried out in Pakistan and India has already accepted that her people were involved in Samjotha Express incident in India but the silence of our rulers in that issue raises a question mark. The resolution said that dream of restoring peace in South Asia and Middle East could not come true unless Kashmir and Palestine issues are resolved. If right of self-determination can be given is East Tamoor and Sudan then why not it be given to Kashmiris and Palestinians.

Strongly condemning the incidents of blasphemy in Pakistan, the resolution said not a single violator has been given death penalty for blasphemy despite a law being in place. The resolution said that Halal declared by Muhammad (SAAW) is Halal till the D-Day and similarly, Haram declared by him will also remain Haram. No one can make any amendment in this regard and anyone who tried to do so will qualify for the punishment. The resolution asked why institutions like the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Islamic Ideology Council are silent on the important issue like blasphemy?

Another resolution made it clear that there are only two main schools of thought in motherland Pakistan that are the source of strength for Islam and Pakistan and they both are deprived of their basic rights. All important institutions from the Ministry of Religious Affairs to the Peace Committees are being headed by a particular group since long. The resolution demanded from the government to give the leadership of all important institutions to recognised schools of thought turn by turn and political bargaining should be avoided on these seats.

Yet another resolution said that programmes of Chehlum of Syed-us-Shuhada Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) will be organised throughout the country from 18-20 Safar, therefore, the government should make strict security arrangements for Majalis and processions during these days while the sensitive areas should be handed over to the army so that Azadaran-e-Hussain and devotees of Nabi (SAAW) and Ali (A.S.) could participate in Azadari programmes in peace. In another resolution, they strongly condemned the suicide attacks in Iraq and expressing grief on the Shahadat of Zaireen demanded immediate exodus of allied forces from Iraq and Afghanistan and stoppage of Drone attacks along side Pakistani borders. The resolution called upon the government to take up the long-standing issue of terrorism faced by Pakistan at the United Nations and International Court of Justice and make them believe that despite Pakistan played the role of a front-line ally against terrorism, it was being targeted of terrorism. The Azadaran-e-Imam Mazloom were advised to continue their Majalis and Matmi processions showing courage with respect and dignity and do not be afraid of any power but Allah.

The resolution demanded to restrict banned groups who were active again with new names because terrorism could not be rooted out without tackling the terrorist groups with an iron hand. The government was advised not to take the extremist groups already declared terrorists along while media should not give coverage to them. The participants resolved that they will continue their practical struggle for achievement of rights of the Maktab-e-Tashih, protection of Nazria-e-Asaasi and for the solidarity, development and defence of the motherland.

The meeting decided to observe the Wisaal of Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) and Shahadat of Hazrat Imam Hassan Mujtaba (A.S.) as Hafta-e-Aza from 23-29 Safar. Shahadat of Hazrat Imam Hassan Askari (A.S.) will be observed as Hafta Ehad-o-Paiman from 2-8 Rabiul Awwal. The government was asked to make special security arrangements on these occasions, also.

TNFJ demands strict security arrangements on universal Arbaeen-e-Hussain, condems suicide attacks on Hussaini pilgrims in Iraq

RAWALPINDI, January 21: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has demanded of the government to make strict security arrangements during Matmi processions and Majalis-e-Aza on the occasion of universal Arbaeen-e-Hussain (Chehlum of Shuhada-e-Karbala) and hand over the sensitive areas to the army. This was stated by him while delivering his presidential address at the high level meeting of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya at the headquarters of the Maktab-e-Tashayyo. Strongly condemning the suicide attacks in Iraq and expressing grief on the Shahadat of Zaireen he reiterated his resolve that terrorism and suicide attacks could not divert the Azadars from the path of Hussainiyyat. The performance report of Markazi Muharram Committee and other departments of the Tehreek were presented at the TNFJ meeting and decisions were taken on matters of national and international importance.

Agha Moosavi said the Aza-e-Hussain continue till 8th Rabiul Awwal with full enthusiasm. He made it clear that Arbaeen-e-Hussaini is also a great memory of Hussain’s (A.S.) sacrifice, therefore, the government should ensure security of processions to be taken out from every nook and corner of the country from 18-20 Safar on the pattern of Ashoora. In this connection, he said, Muharram Control Rooms should be put of high elert in the Federal Interior Ministry, all the four provinces, Azad Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan. He also called upon the Azadars to follow the Code of Azadari in letter and spirit and remain attached with the Markaz.

The TNFJ chief said that Azadari, a trust of Hazrat Zainab (S.A.) and Hazrat Zainul Abideen (A.S.), is the eternal peaceful protest against oppression and brutality and it will continue till the Zahoor of Qaim Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.). He said the satanic forces remain involved in desecration of Quran, Rasool (SAAW), Ahle Bait (A.S.), pious Sahaba Kubaar and Mashaheer-e-Islam which is a great sin. He said punishment for blasphemy is death but it is necessary that the judiciary sets the limits and explanation of the blasphemy so that it could be checked strongly. He said merely forming a committee to stop the wrong use of blasphemy las was not enough because a committee is always formed on an issue that is meant to be put in abeyance. He said, the government was giving only lip-service to divert the attention from real issues and if she is sincere in doing so then it should contact the real representatives of the recognised schools of thought. He said at present the government and the opposition were busy in prolonging the rule and achieving the rule while sincerity of purpose was the need of the hour for solution of problems.

Agha Moosavi said that submissive attitude against the colonial powers is contrary to the national dignity and the nations that look towards others for help are degraded, therefore, the powers that be would have to rid themselves rid of satanic forces if we desire to put our country on the height of dignity. That does not mean that we should sever our relations with them rather these relations should be established on the basis of equality, he added. He said the colonial powers and their agents follow duplicity while dealing with the whole Islamic World including Pakistan. He lamented that when Muslims demand their right of self-determination from non-Muslim powers that are called extremists or they are given the lolly-pop of fake promises like in case of long-standing issues of Palestine and Kashmir. On the other, when non-Muslims raise their voice they are given the right of self-determination forthwith like in East Taimoor and likely in Sudan. He said Muslims were stabbed in the back by driving out Palestinians to establish Israel and now the biggest state of Africa and Arab world i.e. Sudan is being divided but the silence of the Islamic World on this development is meaningful.

The TNFJ chief said the WikiLeaks have unveiled the character of Muslim rulers and politicians that provides food for thought. He said India is responsible for murder of millions of Kashmiris, oppression against innocent women, destruction of holy places belonging to Christians and Sikhs. They are crushing dozens of movements for independence for the last half a century and those seeking independence are put in Indian jails. The international powers should tell whether they desire to give India permanent membership of the Security Council as a reward to such activities.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that Balochistan’s mining treasurers belong to that province and they enjoy the first right on these treasures. Supreme Court’s taking notice on this issue is a good omen. Similarly, the judiciary should also take notice of issue of terrorism faced by the nation immediately. They should form a broad-based tribunal to know the reasons and the ways to root out terrorism from the country. If Pakistan is safe then its treasures are also save, he added. He said all sections of society including the rulers and the politicians will have to play their due role in turning Pakistan into a hub of peace.

Programme of majalis e aza and matamdari processions in connection with Hafta Aseeran e Karbala

RAWALPINDI, January 19: Programme of majalis e aza and matamdari processions in connection with Hafta Aseeran e Karbala continued with religious zeal and great reverence throughout the country on Tuesday. On this occasion different Institutes and organizations held programmes of azadari in Imam Bargahs and Aza Khanas and Taboot of Hazrat Sakina (pbuh) were brought out in ladies majalis.

Majalis e Aza were also held at Federal capital Islamabad as well as Rawalpindi in which Ulmae Karama and Waezeen Uzaam highlighted the life of Sakina bintul Hussain (pbuh) and participants paid condolence in the form of azadari and matamdari to the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp).

Khatiba Aale Nabi Syeda Binte Ali Mousavi while addressing majlis organized by UWF, Girls Guide, Sakina Generation and Anjuman e Dukhtaran e Islam (Regd.) at Imam Bargah Jamia tul Murtaza G-9/4 Islamabad, said that life of Sakina bintul Hussain (pbuh) is a beacon of light and a basis of guidance for the daughters of Islam which, if followed, can be a source of respect for the Muslim nation.

She said that while facing all sorts of aggression and difficulties in the courts of Kufa and Shaam, Sakina Bintul Hussain (pbuh) presented a great example of determination and courage for the rest of the world to follow. She said that after the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (pbuh), the way Sakina Bintul Hussain (pbuh) along with the pious ladies of the house hold of the Holy Prophet (pbut) fought against Yazidiat and dictatorship in a way which history is unable to replicate.

She said that in order to get rid off the hardships and difficulties faced by humanity, it is inevitable that we should follow the example of the household of the Holy Prophet (pbut). Zakira Mohtarma Malaeka Ghufar also addressed to the Majlis. To conclude the majlis Taboot of Sakina Bintul Hussain (pbuh) was brought out and matamdari was performed. On this occasion security duties were performed by UWF, Girls Guide and Sakina Generation.

Under the auspices of Saean Mohammad Sakhi Haidery, majlis e Aseeran e Karbala was held at Dhok Nami Rawaat. Allama Qamar Zaidi while addressing the Majlis said that for the protection of Islam and human values, people from different clans, colours and races led by Imam Hussain (pbuh) stood fast against Yazidiat and not only provided fresh blood to Islam but also taught a lesson to humanity that the criteria of magnificence is not a nation or clan rather it depends upon worship and piety.

He said that nowhere in history can the example of the immense change in circumstances be found between the time the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) left Makka for Madina and Imam Hussain (pbuh) left Madina for Makka. He said that one can reach the conclusion, after going through philosophy of Karbala, that just after half century the Muslim nation and the sorrounding situation had changed so much that the place of migration of the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) could not provide protection to Imam Hussain (pbuh).

Syed Qamar Zaidi emphasized that by leaving Madina, Imam Hussain (pbuh) turned the mind of the followers of his Grandfather and those who are interested in Islamic history towards these bitter realities, helping to take off the fake mask of Islam from the faces of Yazidi forces.

Allama Basharat Hussain Imami while addressing majlis said that if Imam Hussain (pbuh) was just an oppressed one then people would have would have concluded the condolence after shedding few tears for him or by keeping silence for few moments as it is practised in present, but Imam Hussain (pbuh) from the time he left Madina to the last prostration on the plain of Karbala gave eternal life to humanity by showing every aspect of life in each oppressed character of Karbala.

He said that Captives of Karbala played a vital role to illuminate the candle of Hussainiat and due to the very same reason every conscious person remembers Imam Hussain’s (pbuh) sacrifice by taking part in the form of azadari. On this occasion Zakir Syed Karam Hussain Shah of Hakeemal, Zakir Qamar, Zakir Mukhtar Kosar and others also addressed the majlis. Allama Nasir Abbas of Multan, Zakir Syed Iqbal Hussain Bajar and Allama Basharat Hussain Imami addressed the Majlis held at Qasr e Imam Ali Naqi (pbuh) Magistrate Colony.

Milad-e-Mustafa and Azadari Syed-us-Shuhada is the most effective protest against blasphemy, Moosavi announces to observe “Ashra Shaheeda-e-Zindaan” from Muharram 27 to Safar-ul-Muzaffar 6 in connection with the Shahadat of Hazrat Sakina (S.A.).

RAWALPINDI, January 3: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that Milad-e-Mustafa and Azadari Syed-us-Shuhada is the most effective protest against blasphemy. This was stated by him while announcing observation of “Ashra Shaheeda-e-Zindaan” from Muharram 27 to Safar-ul-Muzaffar 6 in connection with the Shahadat of minor Aseera-e-Karbala Hazrat Sakina Binte Al-Hussain (S.A.). He said the voice of Farzand-e-Rasool Hussain Ibne Ali (A.S.) was still echoeing that Halal-e-Muhammad are Halal and Haram-e-Muhammad are Haram till the Day of Judgement and no power, government, and Parliament could make changes in the Dastoor-e-Muhammadi and no one will be allowed to do so.

Agha Moosavi said that the biggest act of blasphemy was committed in the plains of Karbala and in the streets and courts of Kufa and Shaam where the Nawasa-e-Rasool Imam Hussain (A.S.), Ahle Bait Rasool (A.S.) and pious Sahaba Kubaar (R.A.) were martyred without any reason and the Mukhaderat-e-Ismat and Taharat of Rasool’s (SAAW) Khanwada were forced to march through the streets of Kufa and Shaam and attend the courts of Yazid and Ibne Ziad bear-headed. He said destruction of holy shrines of Ummahatul Momineen (R.A.), Ahle Bait Athaar (A.S.) and pious Sahaba Kubaar (R.A.) at Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moallah are also acts of open blasphemy and why those who are taking out rallies against blasphemy are silent of these acts of oppression.

He said if those who are engaged in protest in the name of blasphemy are sincere then they should join Eid-e-Milad and Azadari otherwise we would be justified to understand that the religion and Shariat are being used as a shield to protect their personal and party interests. He said we are followers of that Hussain Ibne Ali (A.S.) who did not use Islam as a shield rather became himself a shield for Islam. That is why the Parcham-e-Tauheed and Risalat is fluttering high all around today, he added. He asked why forces propagating against Milad-un-Nabi and Azadari were not raising voice against these rallies and strike calls that are creating hurdles in business?

The TNFJ chief said Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) presented sacrifice of his life along with his 72 offspring, near and dear ones in the hot plain of Karbala for the survival of religion and Shariat and for the respect and dignity of the humanity which were declared “Fidyenah Be Zibhe Azeem”. He said Ashab, Ansaar, offspring present in Karbala seem to be a bouquette of humanity the odour of which is hugging the whole humanity. Included in the bouquette are: Sahabi-e-Rasool Habeeb Ibne Mazahir, Muslim Ibne Ausaja; Shabih-e-Mustafa 18-year old Shahzada Ali Akbar (A.S.); black slave like Jone; Mukhaderat-e-Ismat and Taharat Hazrat Zainab (S.A.), Hazrat Kulsoom (S.A.), Umme Rabab (S.A.), Umme Farwah (S.A.), Hazrat Fizza. In children Hazrat Sakina (S.A.) and Shahzada Ali Asghar (A.S.) are visibly in the forefront.

Agha Moosavi said all sections of society have a one voice that says: Hussain (A.S.), we are ready to offer any sacrifice. The name of Hazrat Sakina was Fatima, Imam Hussain (A.S.) used to call her Sakina with love. When this Masooma (S.A.) set out for Karbala from Madina Munawwarah along with her father, her age was three years, seven months, and four days. He said the dignity of Hazrat Sakina Binte Al-Hussain (S.A.) could be gauged from the fact that Allah keeps Khatam-ur-Rusl Hazrat Mustafa (SAAW) most dear to Him, Mustafa (SAAW) keeps Hussain (A.S.) dearest to him, and Hussain (A.S.) loves Sakina Binte Hussain (S.A.) the most. This love is not based on relationship but on high character because after the Shahadat-e-Hussain (A.S.), Hazrat Sakina Binte Hussain (S.A.) bore all types of difficulties with courage for the protection of Hussaini mission for Tauheed and Risalat and ultimately kissed Shahadat in Zindaan-e-Shaam. He said the exemplary character of Hazrat Sakina Binte Hussain (S.A.) is the best example for children at large to follow.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi appealed the Muslim brethren to organise Majalis-e-Aza and Matamdari programmes on the occasion of Ashra Shaheeda-e-Zindaan from Muharram 27 to Safar-ul-Muzaffar 6 and pay homage to Shuhada-e-Karbala and Aseeran-e-Karbala. He said solidarity should be expressedwith the oppressed world, Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraqi while hatred against oppression and brutality.

Meanwhile, a TNFJ central committee has been formed to organise programmes for Ashra Shaheeda-e-Zaindaan. Mrs. Jabir Hussain Naqvi has been nominated as Convener, Aapa Syed Hussain as Secretary for this committee. Syeda Abeera Zaidi and Aapa Syeda Lawa Zainab will be their deputies.
