RAWALPINDI, April 24: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has announced to observe “Hafta-e-Azmat-e-Muhammad (SAAW)-o-Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.)” from Jamadi-ul-Awwal 11-17. Accordingly to a statement issued by Central Spokesman of the TNFJ, Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi from the headquarters of the Maktab-e-Tashih, Majalis and Mahafil will be held throughout the country during the week. He said the spirit of sacrifice of holy personalities for establishment of justice and annihilation of oppression and barbarism is a bright example for whole world of humanity.

            Syed Qamar Zaidi, asserted that acknowledgment of the greatness of Muhammad (SAAW)  and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) and to follow in their footsteps practically is necessary because at present the world of oppression has put the oppressed and have-nots at its target; Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq have been given bloodbath; earth and heaven are quivering with cries of the deprived people; humanity is astonished and perplexed; Pakistan is under pressure while colonial powers keep the policy of hurling threats. He said Islam enjoins to fight against oppressors and help the oppressed. Maula-e-Kainaat Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) had advised his elder son Hazrat Imam Hasan Mujtaba (A.S.) that hating the oppressor and rendering help to the oppressed is obligatory for every Muslim because oppression is the biggest sin which is forbidden by Allah, he said adding that like geographical boundaries, protection of ideological boundaries is also binding.

            He said that satanic powers are working against Ahle Bait (A.S.) and pious Sahaba Kubaar (RA) and they commit blasphemy through new tactics the day in and day out while Islamic World and the United Nations have kept silence which poses a question mark. Therefore, these organizations must come in action immediately by creating conformity in their words and deeds, and curb the satanic forces. In this way, so as to turn this world a hub of peace rather get the whole humanity rid of problems and difficulties. He said the Khanwada-e-Nabuwwat and Risalat enjoys supremacy over the whole world and Holy Quran stands witness to their Ismat and Taharat. He said one of these holy personalities is Hazrat Ali Ibn Al-Hussain titled as Zainul Abideen (A.S.) who is the Peshwa of followers of the right path and Imam of the religion and Shariat. He said 15th Jamadi-ul Awwal is Youm-e-Wiladat which will be observed as “Hafta-e-Azmat-e-Muhammad (SAAW)-o-Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.)” and thus the world would be told that they are those great personalities about whom the Holy Prophet (SAAW) said: their example is that of Ark of Noah in this Ummah; whoever sat on it, was delivered and whoever left it, went astray and drowned.

            Syed Qamar Zaidi appealed to all compatriots to pay homage to the Holy Prophet (SAAW) and his progeny (A.S.) by holding Mahafil, festivals and religious programmes on the occasion of this Week; condemn world of oppression, express solidarity with the oppressed and have-nots besides praying for stability and integrity of the Islamic World and Pakistan.

            Meanwhile, a central committee of the TNFJ has been formed to lay programmes of “Hafta-e-Azmat-e-Muhammad (SAAW)-o-Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.)”. Syed Bu Ali Mehdi has been nominated as Convener while Prof. Ghulam Abbas Haideri and Haider Abbas Bajwa will be the Deputy Convener and Secretary, respectively.
