RAWALPINDI, January 3: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that Azadari does not need protection from any one, it is the protector of Shi'ite in every era. All super powers unite, all assets, all missiles, rockets, explosives, gathered could not stop way of the grief of Imam Hussain (PBUH). This Matam is guarded by the chaddarless sister of Hussain (PBUH), the chopped-off arms of Abbas Alamdar (PBUH) are its protector and it is shaded with the prays of Fatima Zehra (PBUH). According to Rahbar-e-Inqilab Islami Ayatollah Khomeini do not ever think of any change in Azadari procession and do not give these processions the shape of any long march, rather maintain them in line with your previous patterns and traditions with the same acts of Matamdari, and Noha-Khwani rather maintain with more dignified manner from that of previous traditions, if possible. This is the key to success. This was stated by him in a special message issued on the occasion of Chehlum (Arbaeen-e-Hussaini) of Syed-us-Shuhada Hazrat Imam Hussain (PBUH) and his 72 diehard near and dear ones.

Agha Moosavi said Azadari is the religious symbol of Hussain’s followers that is going on for ever unabated. They are under the obligation to shed tears with devotion and love in the grief of Imam Hussain (PBUH) by paying the reward of the Prophethood and by preaching Wilayat, perform Matamdari, Qamah-Zani and Zanjeer-Zani because in it lay survival of Sharia and it guarantees our survival. He said Azadari is the protest of the oppressed and no one could set the limits and boundaries of the protest to-date. The great Marajah-e-Uzzam of the present era have given a fit reply to those who donate blood instead of shedding their blood in the grief of Imam Hussain (PBUH). The Marjah-e-Kabeer of Najaf-e-Ashraf Ayatollah Al-Uzma Al-Syed Saeed al Hakeem says: "There is supremacy and great reward in Tatbeer (Matam on head with sword). And it is not possible for us to compare and compete its reward with the reward of other pious matters."

The TNFJ chief said those who throw stones on Sha'air-e-Hussaini and are trying to mislead the Azadaran should fear from the mother of Imam Hussain (PBUH) and from the day when the culprits of the daughter of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) will find no place for them to hide. He said the Imam Aali Muqaam Hussain Ibne Ali (PBUH) by offering a historic sacrifice for the supremacy of Islam made the standard of Islam flutter high. He said the history stands witness that the Imam Aali Muqaam (PBUH) preferred to be beheaded but did not bow down, preached a lesson to support Jehad against the evil and told the human beings to live for human dignity and for the pleasure of Allah and made them understand that death in honour is better that life in disguise. That is why we consider dear the Wilayat of Ali Ibne Abi Talib (PBUH), love of the Holy Prophet and his Holy Progeny (PBUT) and Aza-e-Hussaini is included in our genes.

Agha Moosavi said Azadari-e-Imam Mazloom is the protest of the world of oppressed against oppression and brutality and actually it is Jehad for promotion of Hussainiat. The evil world after the Holy Prophet of Islam (PBUH & HHP) to-date utilised all their energy in concealing their good deeds (Manaqib) and today they are after Azadari and get busy the day in and day out hatching new conspiracies against it and the internal enemy is more active against it than external enemy because it has come to his knowledge that Azadari is an enlightened minaret for the protection of the religion and Sharia and it is the biggest weapon; sometime the enemy raises objection on grievous acts and tears, and sometime raises objection against Matam-e-Qamah and Zanjeer-Zani and sometime declares shedding their own blood is not allowed and this blood may be given to patients instead.

The TNFJ chief said that the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) shedding tears on the birth of Hazrat Imam Hussain (PBUH) was asked, he said a rebel group will kill this his son. According to a saying the Khatoon-e-Jannat (PBUH) asked: Baba-e- Namdaar! in which era my son will have to face these problems. He said this era will be the one when neither I, neither Ali neither you, neither Hassan (PBUH) will be there. Hazrat Zehra (PBUH) said: Baba Jaan! In such an era and dilapidated conditions, when my son will kiss Shahadat who will shed tears on his trouble and who will organise Majalis, Matam, and Aza. The Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) said, my dear daughter, don't worry, women and ladies of Ismat-o-Taharat of my Ummah will shed tears on the troubles of my son and men and Mardan-e-Ahle Bait of my Ummah will shed tears after remembering his troubles and will revive the Azadari of your son year after year, one nation after the other and when the Day of Judgment will dawn then you will do the intercession of those women and I will do the same for those men and whichever Momin will shed tears on Imam Hussain (PBUH) Mazloom, we will hold his/her hand and will enter them into the heaven. He said Azadari actually is the eternal protest against oppressor of every era and the Holy Quran itself permits to lodge protest against the oppressor: God loveth not that evil. Should be noised abroad in public speech, except where injustice hath been done; for God is He who heareth and knoweth all things. (Surah Nisaa, Ayah 148).

In other words, he said, Sharia has firmly directed that if you see any evil of any one do not make it public rather make the one understand about it in loneliness but there is any religious interest demands then making the oppression of that oppressor is called protest. According to a hadees, a person came to the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) and told him that his neighbour teases him. He advised him that you may pull out your household articles and keep it at a common place outside. He did the same. Therefore, whoever passed through would have asked him what happened and he used to tell them about the oppressive attitude meted out to him by his neighbour. On listening it, every passerby would have cursed that neighbour (Sunan Abi Daud. Kitaab Al-Adab) with reference Shah Fahd Quran Printing, Ministry for Islamic Affairs, Endowment, Dawa and Guidance, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Agha Moosavi said therefore when the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) have given a common man the right to raise his voice against oppression then there is no big an oppressed that Hussain Ibne Abi Talib (PBUH) and there is no big incident than Karbala. Thus, it is included in the obligation of every Azadar to highlight the oppression of biggest oppressor of the world of oppressor Yazid and the biggest source to highlight and disseminate it the Azadari Imam Aali Muqaam on which the Yazidi world is still shivering of. Yazid and his men committed so big an oppression that if it had been concealed then there would have been no sign of the religion or Sharia the world over.

The TNFJ chief said the test of Imam Aali Muqaam (PBUH) began from the Fajr prayers on the Day of Ashoor and finished at Asr prayers. Imam Hussain (PBUH) carried the bodies of his faithful companions, and pious offspring and then bearing the thirst and heat, carried wounds, kissed martyrdom and reached the Hoz-e-Kausar to quench his thirst from Aab-e-Kausar. But Ummul Masaib Hazrat Zainab (PBUH) Sani-e-Zehra remained involved in this mission along with her brother and was called Sharikat-ul-Hussain and then bore the tough time in the streets of Kufa and Shaam and bore the attendance in the courts of Ibne Ziad and Yazid and delivered addresses in the voice and sytle of Ali (PBUH) shattering the Yazidi courts and apprising the world about the assassins of Hussain (PBUH). Do not ever say that Yazid was the caliph of the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP), who can pass through such ordeals but it was the quality of the Khanwada-e-Risalat and the effect of Zehra's (PBUH) milk that she bore all this with patience and forbearance and unveil Yazidiat and told the world that this bloodshed that was being concealed could not be concealed. It was the job done by Zainab (PBUH) daughter of Ali (PBUH) and Batool (PBUH).

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that Hussain (PBUH) belongs to all and Hussain (PBUH) belongs to Allah, every nation would call that Hussain (PBUH) is theirs which is the great blessing of Zainab (PBUH) and Zainul Abideen (PBUH). Hussain's sacrifice is commensurate with "Fadaina ho be Zibhe Azeem". On this occasion of Arbaeen-e-Hussain, he advise the Azadaran-e-Hussain (PBUH) to participate in the Matmi processions of Chehlum of Imam Aali Muqaam (PBUH) and remain alert while media should give full coverage to the Matmi processions because the importance of Chehlum is not less than the Ashoora.
