ISLAMABAD, August 20: The Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has appealed the countrymen to observe the Eidul Fitr with simplicity to express devotion to the sons of the soil who fell victim to Babusar bus firing incident, Shuhada-e-Gilgit and Baltistan, Kamra incidents and acts of terrorism in Karachi, Quetta, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and to express solidarity with their bereaved families and they should also pray for high status of Shuhada and for an end to terrorism. The job of the rulers is not only to inform about the dangers rather to save the nation from the same but unfortunately our rulers feel their duty is fulfilled after giving a warning of the dangers. The rulers should arrest the culprits of all incidents including that of Babusar and Kamra incidents and give them exemplary punishment. The real Eid of Ahle Islam and Pakistan would come on the day when the oppressed will meet their fate and rights of the oppressed the world over including Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq, Bahrain are realized and the flag of Islam will flutter high throughout the world after the durable peace is restored. These views were expressed by him in a special message on the occasion of Eidul Fitr.

Agha Moosavi said there is a saying of Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (PBUH) that goes: Eid is only for the one whose fasting have been accepted by Almighty Allah and his prayers (Nimaz) is recognition and every that day on which wrong doings are refrained from is the day of Eid (Nehjul Balaghah). He said today the Muslim nation and the public of Pakistan are observing Eid in such circumstances when oppression and brutality are the order of the day; drone attacks, bomb blasts, suicide attacks, incidents of murder, arson and target killings have made the life of the people difficult. Not a single day passes without such incidents, he said adding that incidents of terrorism in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Karachi, and Quetta with regular intervals; firing at the Gilgit-bound bus at Babusar killing fasting passengers after establishing their identity are just more than heinous acts. He said the chief of the international colonial powers was reaping the benefit of Muslims’ weaknesses while the wrong policies of the rulers and the politicians were strengthening their nefarious objectives of dividing Muslims by promoting biases.

The TNFJ chief lamented that from home to the mosque, from common office to the GHQ, from villages and towns to the Federal Capital no place remained safe. Sometimes Sunnis, sometimes Barelvis, Shias, minorities, those who speak different languages and sometimes residents of different provinces fall victim of these acts of terrorism which clearly indicates that the enemy desires to weaken Muslims by fanning lingual, regional, sectarian feelings, he added. However, he said, thanks Almighty Allah the nation has proved at every stage that attack on any Maslak, Maktab, province is the attack on Islam and Pakistan and no satanic power on earth or their agents could create differences amongst them. Whoever would try to create differences amongst them would not be a Sunni, Shia or Barelvi but the agent and tool in the hands of the satanic powers and their agents, he added.

Agha Moosavi said every Muslim is under the obligation to pay a particular amount as Fitrana on this Eid and deliver it to the needy. He said we are followers of Ali Ibne Abi Talib (PBUH) who when asked that how he eats Naan and barleys and in what simple condition he is, he replied: How can Ali (PBUH) eat full intake of food when people with empty stomach are around him. His reply, he added, preaches a lesson to our rulers and politicians that how much Ali Ibne Abi Talib (PBUH) was concerned about the have-nots and the poor.

The Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said there is wisdom that Allah Has made the support to needy, have-nots, oppressed and the poor on the occasion of Eidul Fitr obligatory. After paying Fitrana, the day begins with Eid prayers in which the people from the city gather and display collective dignity, unity and religious and Islamic brotherhood, he added. He further said that after the sermon of Eid by shaking hands and by hugging each other they tell the world that we share our grieves and pains and then efforts are made to give up mutual bickering, hatred and enmities by meeting each other throughout the day. This activity is actual Eid on which everyone purifies his inner soul from all types of mistakes, impurity, and enmities, he concluded.
