Large number of Ulema O Zakireen, Marsia Khawan, Poets and Mourners from UK, Europe and Asia including Pakistan Participated in the Majlis e Fatimiya

Unless the Holy Shrines of Jannat ul Baqee and Jannat ul Mualla are rebuilt, the dignity of the pious personalities of Islam cannot be restored – Ammar e Yasir

NORTHAMPTON – UK, May 16: A majlis e Aza in connection with martyrdom anniversary of the lady of heaven Hazrat Fatima Zahra (pbuh) was held on Sunday 15^th May under the auspices of Anjuman e Ghulaman e Hazrat e Abbas at Northampton UK in which large number of mourners from UK, Europe, Asia including Pakistan Participate. On this occasion Ulema and Zakireen highlighted the pious life of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (pbuh).

Dr Zameer Akhtar Naqvi while addressing the majlis said that Fatima (pbuh) is the only being to whom Holy Prophet called an extension of himself, and the only lady in the universe for whom Holy Prophet himself would stand as a mark of respect and would kiss her hands before giving her his own seat.

Allama Hafaz Tasadaq Hussain while addressing the majlis said that the family of Muhammad O Aal e Muhammad (pbut) is the highest and most respected throughout the universe and reciting Darood on them is compulsory as Imam Shafi says that anyone who does not send Darood on them, his prayers are vain. He said that Hazrat Fatima Zahra (pbuh) is superior to all other women of the world because of her dignity and honor. He reminded everyone that Hazrat Zahra (pbuh) is like a shining star; just as the planet Venus has a unique position among the stars because of its luminous shine; likewise Hazrat Fatima (pbuh) has superiority over all other women of the world because of her honor, perfection, elegance and mercy.

Allama Syed Fazal Abbas Multan said that she is given the title of Syeda Tun Nisa’il Alameen (the chief of all the ladies of all time). He said that to get dignity and respect, all the women will have to prostrate at the door of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (pbuh). He said that Hazrat Fatima (pbuh) is the one who introduced the real character and image of women to society.

On this Occasion TNFJ’s leader Ammar Yasir forwarded a resolution in which he mentioned that it is an establish reality that the Holy Prophet of Islam, his forefathers and his relatives sacrificed everything for the cause of Islam. After the Prophet’s grandfather Hazrat Abdul Muttalib (pbuh) and uncle Hazrat Abu Talib (pbuh), Hazrat Ali (pbuh) and Hazrat Fatima Zahra (pbuh) spent everything they had, to make Islam stronger. Anyone who is related to a religion considers the signs attributed to the heroes of that religion as sources of guidance, while following the path of those heroes is considered as a source of pride. One third of the six billion people of the world are Muslims and similarly followers of other religions also exist. Followers of the holy Prophet and his sacred family members are present throughout the world. You would be well aware of the fact that Jews and Hindus never tolerate the disrespect of their heroes and forefathers however; heroes of Islam have always been targeted by the evil forces. For the last couple of years, the three devils of the evil forces are making attempts to disrespect the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) through blasphemous caricatures, Baitullah (Khana Kaaba) has been disrespected, the holy Quran was burnt not only by an American priest, but one of the British priests has also performed the same blasphemous act while before that, Jews humiliated Alquds Sharif and are still doing it. On the other side, Hindus demolished Babri Mosque and a lot more has still being done. Graves of Muslims were demolished in England and France also. Jews, who have been amongst the successors of Hazrat Israel Yaaqoob (pbuh), have demolished the grave of one of the Prophets of Almighty Allah  Hazrat Yousuf (pbuh). From time to time, media keeps raising voice of protest against such incidents but in vain.

It is time that the Islamic world must think about it that when and where exactly the series of disrespecting started from? Taking a look at the history reveals that it started in 1924 when Aal-e-Saud committed the blasphemous act of demolishing the cemeteries of Jannat ul Mualla, and Jannat ul Baqee in the cities of Makkah and Medina respectively. In Jannut ul Mualla there are graves of the forefathers of the holy Prophet including the graves of Prophet’s mother Hazrat Amna (pbuh), and Prophet’s wife Hazrat Khadeeja tul Kubra (pbuh), while in Jannat ul Baqee not only the graves of Umhaat ul Momineen (wives of the holy Prophet) Hazrat Ayesha and Hifza, Hazrat Umm-e-Salma, companion of the holy Prophet Hazrat Usman Ghani are situated but there also exists the grave of the greatest personality of Islam, the beloved daughter of the holy Prophet, Hazrat Fatima Zahra (pbuh). About Hazrat Fatima (pbuh) it is narrated that whenever she visited the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp), the holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) used to stand and kept standing unless her beloved daughter Hazrat Fatima Zahra (pbuh) is not seated. According to a Hadees e Mubarak of the holy Prophet, Hazrat Fatima Zahra (pbuh) is the leader of all women of the world while heaven is eager to greet her. The grave of such a great and respectable personality was also demolished by Saudi government. It is one of the bitterest facts that for the last 87 years, these graves have been left demolished.  

We question that where are the international human rights organizations, UN, Security Council and other institutions who claim to be the protectors of the archeological monuments and historic buildings across the world? Why exactly they are refraining to raise or listen to the voices against the destruction of the holy cemeteries of Jannat ul Baqee and Jannat ul Mualla in Saudi Arabia, while only a few statues were humiliated in Afghanistan and the whole world felt the pain and protested against their destruction, which certainly is a clear contradiction. But we must also realize that how can we expect from others to respect our religious signs when we are disrespecting them by ourselves?  

Today, the participants of Majlis e Aza that is held under the auspices of Anjuman e Ghulaman e Abbas e Alamdar (pbuh) to commemorate the martyrdom of Syeda e Kaonain Hazrat Fatima Zahra (pbuh) strongly demand that Muslim rulers and international organizations must rebuild Jannat ul Baqee and Jannat ul Mualla to restore the dignity of these sacred places. For the last three decades Tehreek e Nafaz e Fiqh e Jafariya under the leadership of the Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has been raising voice for the restoration of Jannat ul Baqee and Jannat ul Mualla while this demand is also present in the Moosavi-Junejo Agreement of 21^st May 1985 details of which can be found in the book Masaabeeh-ul-Jinaan.

Ammar Yasir appealed all the participants to acquire Masabeeh ul Jinan so that the children can be enlighten with the fact and history of the holy shrine of Sayyeda e Aalim Hazrat Fatima Zahra (pbuh) and the tragedy of its demolition and also to participate in our global protest for the restoration of these holy shrines in Jannat ul Baqee and Jannat ul Mualla.
