RAWALPINDI, February 5: Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Mousavi, - While announcing the “Hafta e Ehd o Paiman” 2^nd – 8^th Rabi ul Awwal, in connection with the Martyrdom of Imam Hassan Al Askari (pbuh)- said that keeping promises and vows is the sign of brave and of those, chosen by ALLAH.

Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Said that, Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), His Holy Progenyl (pbut) and pious Companions (R.A.) made such unforgettable sacrifices -to protect the religion & teachings of Islam, and to save the mankind and humanity- that are beacon of light for the whole of humanity and mankind, and these pious personalities were marked by the history for honouring promises an vows.

Agha Mousavi made it clear that, honouring promises is emphasised by not only Islam but all the noble religions and civilized societies and a person carrying these qualities is considered honourable i.e. to keep one’s word.  He further said that Mountains can move, storms can be stopped and rivers can change their course but an honourable person never breaks his word, no matter the promise is made to The Creator or creation.

Agha Mousavi Said that, it is obligatory for every Muslim to keep their promises and the emphasis is laid upon by Islam, to not break promises by any excuse of reconciliation or political agenda.  He said that worship is the peak of piousness, which is the second name of keeping promises.  Quaid e Millat e Jafariya with reference to the Holy Quran said that, - ALLAH has said that, he who keeps his promises, and adopts piousness, rest assured, ALLAH loves the pious - Sura Al Tawba (The Repentance).  He further said that Islam is about keeping promises, and the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said that – he who does not keeps promises, does not keep the religion – ALLAH in Chapter Al Ya-Sin of the Holy Quran states that “Didn’t I take oath from you to not to follow Satan, for he is your open enemy.  And worship me, for this is the right path.  Agha Mousavi said that, this implies that he, who does not honour his promises, defies ALLAH and is the follower of Satan and he who keeps his promises is the follower of ALLAH.

Quaid e Millat e Jafariya said that, by honouring the great and pious personalities, - in terms of mourning - from the 1^st  day of Muharram to the 8^th day of Rabi ul Awwal, the right is differentiated from wrong and the oppressors hiding behind the mask of Islam are unveiled.  Quaid e Millat e Jafariya urged the masses to commemorate the “Hafta e Ehd o Paiman”, - 2^nd Rabi ul Awwal - 8^th Rabi ul Awwal in connection with the martyrdom of Imam Hassan Al Askari (pbuh) – and to make the pledge whole heartedly that we will follow the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and His Holy Progeny (pbut) and fight for religion of Islam i.e. the path of Imam Hussain (pbuh).  He said that Azadari (mourning) is the means to protect Islam and it is our religious duty and we will never bargain on that and nor will let anyone to do that.

In the mean time TNFJ’s central committee to organize the programs of Hafta e Ehd o Paiman was formed.  Dr. S M Rizvi was nominated as convener and Ajmal Naqvi as deputy convener, while Haider Abbas Bajwa will be the secretary of the committee.
