RAWALPINDI, April 18: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that if all schools of thought desire to protect their honour and dignity then they should ensure the dignity and honour of Fuqaha, Mara’aja Azzam and Ulema Karaam. These views were expressed by him while delivering special address on the concluding day of Hafta Ehteram-e-Marja’aiyyat. He said the religion Allah gave to Anbia and Mursaleen for preaching is Islam and in the plains of Khum-e-Ghadeer, the Rasool (SAAW) delivered a Khutba from a heighted Mimber, raised the hand of Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) and said: Ali (A.S.) is the Maula of those, I am the Maula of whom. The Zaat-e-Illahi reacting on this announcement gave certificate to the Rasool (SAAW) that the religion has been completed today.

            Agha Moosavi said Nabi-e-Akram (SAAW) preached the religion while Ali (A.S.), Aulad-e-Ali (A.S.) and Batool (S.A.) saved it from any changes. One of those personalities, he added, is that of Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S.) who is the greatest Peshwa of the world of Marja’aiyyat and Imam-e-Huda. Hazrat Abu Abdullah Jafar Al-Sadiq (A.S.) was from amongst Sadaat Ahle Bait (A.S.). He was founder of greatest Jafariya University in Madinah where more than four thousand students achieved Uloom-e-Fiqh and Uloom-e-Islami and remained busy in research of his sayings afterwards. His father Imam Muhammad Baqar (A.S.) remained busy in preaching and disseminating the religion of Islam, Shariat-e-Muhammadi, and Afkaar-e-Alvi. He said Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S.) 400 principles are carried by our four books called Kutab-e-Araba’a i.e. Usool-e-Kafi, Mann La Yahzar Al-Faqih, Tehzib Al-Hakkam, and Al-Astabsaar. The principles were achieved by the Mara’ajas, Fuqaha, renowned Ulema and writers directly from him and they included Abaan Ibne Tughlib, Zararah Bin Aaeen, Imran Bin Aaeen, Abu Baseer, Muhammad Ibne Ali, Momin Taaq, Hisham Bin Salim, Kumiyat Bin Asadi, Mufzil Bin Umru. He said Abaan Ibne Tughlib copied more than 30,000 Ahadees while Muhammad Bin Muslim copies 16,000 Ahadees.

            The TNFJ chief said in Arabic, Hadees is termed as discussion, new thing, news, and utterance while in Maktab-e-Tashih the deeds, sayings, and conditions of the Rasool (SAAW), Hazrat Fatima Zehra (S.A.) and Aaimma Asna Ashr are called Hadees and the Rasool (SAAW) has ordered to consult Quran and Ahle Bait (A.S.) in every era, therefore, these are our Mara’ajas, Quran and Ahadees are the supreme centres of commandments and fiqh. That is why Rasool (SAAW) and Ahle Bait are Shareheen of Quran. He quoted a saying of Hazrat Imam Muhammad Baqar (A.S.) that goes: Oh, Abaan! Deliver fatwa by sitting in Masjid-e-Madina, I love personalities like you from amongst my devotees who deliver fatwa. The Imam (A.S.) himself asked the Mara’ajas to give fatwa so that people may follow the same. He said the Masoomin (A.S.) made it clear that people who are not aware of the commandments of religion and Sharit could consult with Mara’ajas for their problems.

            The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that motherland Pakistan came into being in the name of Islam. When a dictator tried to introduce a particular fiqh violating the principles of Islam, the first voice against it was raised from Ali Masjid. The Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh Jafariya that came into being to defend the interests of Millat-e-Jafariya and today, by the Grace of God, Islam is the official religion of Pakistan and as per Pakistan’s Constitution the clarification of Quran and Sunnah for every fiqh would be recognized in line with that fiqh. In other words, Fiqh-e-Jafariya has been recognized legally. He said the international colonial powers, Hindus and Zionists are sabotaging the Two-Nation Theory and were utilizing all their energy to divide the Islamic States on the basis of Maslak. Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya always thwarted their designs and would continue to do so in future, he concluded.
