RAWALPINDI, August 18: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that Ummul Momineen Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) is that personality from the womenfolk owing to which Islam was promoted and gained solidarity. This was stated by him while announcing to observe “Universal Youm Al-Huzn” on 10th Ramazan-ul-Mubarik in connection with the Wafat of Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.). He said there were many personalities who were symbols of high values whereas from amongst womenfolk only four women i.e. Aasia binte Mazaham (wife of Pharaoh), Maryam (mother of Musa), Khadija binte Khwailad and Fatima binte Muhammad (SAW) were placed on this status.

           

 Agha Moosavi said that Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) was a pious personality before becoming the wife of the Holy Prophet (SAAW) and was laced with the qualities of honour, dignity, gentlemanliness, wealth, superiority, and greatness. He said all gentlemen belonging to the Quraish were desirous of Nikah with her and some of them even sent such a message to her family but she did not accept any of them but chose the Mursal-e-Azam (SAAW) for herself. That is why Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) at the time of Nikah addressing the Holy Prophet (SAAW) had said: You have solemnized Nikah with me, and all Salateen and wealthy people of Arab would be jealous with you. This indicates that Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra’s (S.A.) first and last marriage was solemnized with the Holy Prophet (SAAW) and the women from Quraish became angry when Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) recited the Khutba-e-Nikah of the Holy Prophet (SAAW) with Hazrat Khadija (S.A.). According to Ibne Abbas Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) was 28 years old when her Nikah was solemnized.

           

The TNFJ chief said that a voice emerged from the Mehfil-e-Nikah: By God, the sky did not provide shade and the earth did not carry weight of any person that is superior than Muhammad (SAAW) that is why I have chosen him (Muhammad) as a husband for my daughter Khadija (S.A.). Thus you all should remain witness to it. This historic voice was that of Hazrat Khadija’s (S.A.) uncle Omer Ibne Assad (Reference Baharul Anwaar). He said Hazrat Khadijaul Kubra (S.A.) was actually born for the Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW), and she is that respected woman whose daughter Fatima (S.A.) was declared Sardar of women in the universe. He said the Holy Prophet (SAAW) recognized the Hazrat Khadija’s blessings in these words: Khadija (S.A.) helped me with her wealth at a time when all people had deprived me of wealth. Then said: Khadija (S.A.) was the greatest Princess and she had that much wealth that did no match with any one of that era. She showered all her wealth and belongings at the feet of the Holy Prophet (SAAW).

         

   Agha Moosavi made it clear that Holy Quran recognized the financial assistance of Ummul Momineen Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) in these words “Wa Wajadka Aaila Fa Aghna” (and we found you poor and made you Ghani). He said Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) was that great a woman that Allah Has declared her deed and His own. That is why he said when Rasool Allah (SAAW) used to go out of home he used to praise Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) first. There is a saying of Ummul Momineen Hazrat Aisha (R.A.) that Hazoor (SAAW) did not go out but praising Khadija (Reference Asaba Wal-Asta’ayaab). Therefore, Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) proved herself as great blessing for the Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW). That is why, he said, the Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW) used to keep Holy Quran before him and say “Oh, Rasool! Keep on discussing blessings of your Allah”.

         

   The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that the 10th year of Ba’asat proved the year of mourning for Holy Prophet (SAAW); first Nasir-e-Islam Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) left him and then Mohsina-e-Islam Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) left this world. He felt so much grieved at her death that he termed the year of her death as Aam Al-Huzn (the year of mourning). He appealed the countrymen to observe the Wafat of Ummul Momineen Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) on 10th Ramazanul Mubarik as Universal Youm Al-Huzn to pay homage to this great Bibi (S.A.) and to pay pursa to the Holy Prophet (SAAW) and following in her footsteps help their brethren suffering with the natural disasters in their hour of need.

           

 Meanwhile, Universal Youm Al-Huzn Committee of the Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya has been formed. Allama Basharat Hussain Imami has been nominated as Convener while Dr. S. Zaman will be the Secretary of this Committee.
