Freedom from difficulties can be attained while following the courageous example of Hazrat Muslim bin Aqeel (PBUH) – Hamid Moosavi

The main reason for unrest all around the world is the lack of justice and fair play and duplicity of rulers and leaders; in order to take stand against oppression and barbarity, the pious character of the martyr of Kufa is the best example to follow – Address of the Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi on Youm e Safeer e Hussainiat 

RAWALPINDI, October 26: The Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that freedom can be attained from difficulties and problems while following the courageous example of the ambassador of Imam Hussain (PBUH), Hazrat Muslim bin Aqeel (PBUH) who accepted to sacrifice his life and proved to the world that the followers of truth only follow the divine orders and who do not bow down rather they make people of Allah to bow down before Almighty Allah. He stated this in his address on the occasion of Youm e Safeer e Hussainiat, which is being observed throughout Pakistan as well as all over the world on Friday 9^th Zilhajj to commemorate the martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Muslim bin Aqeel (PBUH).  

Aqae Moosavi reminded that today those who are leading should follow the pious leadership characteristics of Imam Hussain (PBUH) that, “only those have right to lead who are obedient to Almighty Allah and are following justice and fair play”. He said that all over the world the main reason for unrest and oppression is lack of justice and fair play and duplicity of rulers and leaders. He said that for the diplomatic world the golden saying of Imam Hussain (PBUH) is a beacon of light in which he explained that, “ambassador can be one who should be courageous and brave and what ever message is given to him, he should deliver it without any hesitation”.  

Agha Moosavi said that the attack of the international evil on the Muslim nation, especially on the beloved homeland Pakistan, continued and to take stand against this evil the courageous stance of Hazrat Muslim bin Aqeel (PBUH) must be followed. 

The Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi reminded those present that after the demise of the ruler of Shaam, the residents of Kufa wrote numerous letters to Imam Hussain (PBUH) in which they mentioned that they had no leadership and that he (PBUH) should come towards them so that may Almighty Allah guide them on the righteous path through him (PBUH). The letters received by Imam Hussain (PBUH) numbered more then 12000. The son of Ali O Batool (PBUT) replied to the residents of Kufa that your last messenger reached to me, you wrote that you have no guide therefore I should come to you in haste so that Allah may guide you through me. Therefore in light of yours numerous letters and messages I am sending towards you my cousin brother Muslim bin Aqeel (PBUH) who is my trusted person. If once he reaches you and replies to me positively, then soon I will come towards you. To conclude the letter he (PBUH) said that by God Imam is the one who delivers justice according to the book of Allah, who adopts justice and fair play, accepts the religion of Allah and one who reserves his life for the wish of Almighty Allah (Tareekh e Tabri, Irshaad Sheikh Mufid). 

Agha Moosavi said that Imam Hussain (PBUH) offered two rakat salat (Namaz) between Rukan and Maqaam, then called for Muslim bin Aqeel (PBUH) and informed him of the invitation of the residents of Kufa and of their intentions and then said to him, I am sending you towards them, the will of Allah will be with you and gave him a message for the residents of Kufa that Muslim bin Aqeel (PBUH) is my trusted person. Muslim bin Aqeel (PBUH) was so obedient to Imam (PBUH) that he did not put forward any excuse and set off on the order of Imam (PBUH). Hazrat Muslim through his actions showed how obedient one should be towards Allah his Holy Messenger and to Imam.  

Aqae Moosavi said that those who think that Imam Hussain (PBUH) didn’t know about the future should ponder that Imam Hussain (PBUH) on the time of farewell to Muslim bin Aqeel (PBUH) said; soon you and I are going to enter into the circle of martyrs. Agha Moosavi asked did Muslim bin Aqeel (PBUH) not fulfil the trust put on him by Imam Hussain (PBUH)? No doubt Muslim bin Aqeel (PBUH) kept all ambassadorial norms before him and not only obeyed the order of his master and his Imam (PBUH) and when due to the cowardice of Kufians the enemy attacked him, Muslim bin Aqeel set such a courageous example which is a beacon of light for the world of bravery. When asked by one of Ibne Zayad’s soldier why he did not salute Ameer (Ibne Zayad), Hazrat Muslim bin Aqeel (PBUH), despite being thirsty and drenched in his own blood replied courageously that my Ameer is Hussain (PBUH). Aqae Moosavi emphasized on a fact that even today in order to take stand courageously against oppression and barbarity the pious character of Muslim bin Aqeel (PBUH) is the best example to follow.

(PBUH & HHP): Peace be upon him and on his holy progeny

(PBUH): Peace be upon him/her

(PBUT): Peace be upon them
