Special Message of the Quaid e Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi in connection with the martyrdom anniversary of Amiral Momneen Hazrat Ali Ibn e Abi Talib (pbuh) which is being observed as "International days of mourning" from 19th to 21st Ramzan

 

 

Islam has provided us with a new lease of life. Where religion provides us with life, it also imposes some obligations over us. Biggest of all is to keep alive the religion because it has kept us alive therefore what our life depends upon, its protection is mandatory upon us.

The job of the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) was to bring the religion and it is the obligation of the vicegerent of the holy Prophet (pbuh) to save it and provide protection to it. That is why, the master of the universe Hazrat Ali Ibn e Abi Talib (pbuh) as an inheritor of the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) utilised all his energies to keep the religion alive. Ali (pbuh) in one of his address praised those who kept the religion alive. Ali (pbuh) was standing on a stone which was brought there by Juda bin Abeera, delivered an excellent speech that all present there started crying, in the end of that he while remembering his companions said that where are those who were following the right path and passed away from this world while keeping themselves on it, where is Ammar e Yasir, Khamiza bin Saabat and Zulshahadatean, then said alas! my those companions who cared about their duties towards religion, delivered them, kept alive traditions of the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) and destroyed wrong traditions.

The master of the universe called them those who revived traditions of the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp). Ali to Mahdi (pbut), their duty is to keep traditions of the Holy Prophet (pbut) alive and due to the same reason Imam Zamin O Samin told one of his followers to keep our Amr (Wilayat) alive, he asked how can we keep it alive? He said to narrate the realities of our Kalam, good qualities, seerat and character to the people, explain it as it is what we call is necessary to keep our Amr alive.

Keeping in view the same commandment of Imam (pbuh), the Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya gives importance to observe the days of messengers, prophets, godly people, personalities of Islam, and inheritors of the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp Hazrat Ali (pbuh). Ali (pbuh) is that great personality who enjoyed the honour of being born in Bait Allah and got martyrdom in the house of Almighty Allah that no one else enjoyed before and afterwards. His life is the best practical lesson of the eternal religion. Struggling and waging holy war for restoration of rights and justice is the greatest achievement of Hazrat Ali (pbuh).

Religion of Islam is based on Justice (bil adal kamat alsamawat walarz), earths and skies are set due to the same.  There is a singularity in the life of Hazrat Ali (pbuh) that it exhibit normality and balance. All good qualities are seen at their height. Establishment of justice and fair play is one of the great achievements of Ali (pbuh).

The day Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) announced his Prophethood Hazrat Ali (pbuh) was seen every where with him like a shadow. During the life of the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) whether inside house or out side, while travelling or waiting, during gathering or in time of war Ali (pbuh) is with the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp). It is clear like daylight that when others were running away from the battle field Ali (pbuh) stood fast therefore every one remembers the announcement made by the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) during the siege of Khyber that tomorrow I will give the flag to a person who will be a man, will reiterate assault on enemy, will not to run away, and Allah and His Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) love him. Ali (pbuh) utilised all his God-gifted energies in protecting the religion, for the survival of Islam and promotion of Quran and Sunnah.

The whole world counts us as slave of the Holy Prophet and Ali (pbut) just because we spare nothing when it comes to love the Holy Prophet O Ali (pbut) therefore it is obligatory upon us to propagate the teachings of the Holy Quran and Masoomeen (pbut) and should thank Almighty Allah who kept us firm on the Walayat of Nabi O Ali and infallible offspring (pbut).

Ali (pbuh) had praiseworthy manners; that is why the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) said that Ali (pbuh) has all of the qualities of previous Prophets (pbut). There is a saying of Amir ul Momneen that we sincerely were fighting together with the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) against enemies of Islam and due to our this sincere attempt our Lord has put our enemy in difficulties and made us victorious. It is due to the blessings of Ali, his offspring and the pious companions of the Holy Prophet (pbut) that today all around the world Islam is being spread and Muslim society is seen to flourish. 

Today oppressed nations, Islamic world and Pakistan is being threaten to be taught a lesson, the only reply to this threat is to follow the life of Hazrat Ali (pbuh) whose saying will be written in golden words that goes: By God, this my much repaired shoe is dearer to me than ruling over you people but that through this rule could restore any truthfulness at its place and root out false hood, the objective of Ali (pbuh) is nothing more than that.

The personality of Ali (pbuh) is a beacon of light for all eras. That is why all recognise the supremacy of Ali (pbuh). An Arab historian Shibli Shamael praises Hazrat Ali (pbuh) while saying that the personality of Ali (pbuh) is unique and there is no one in the history or present like Ali (pbuh). A Christian historian George Jardac writes that whether one recognises or not there is no judge like Ali. There is a saying of Imam Ali (pbuh) that goes: By God, if I am given every thing whatever is under the sky on the condition that I carry out oppression against an ant and snatch the grain of barley from her, I will never do that. What Ali (pbuh) is trying to emphasize on that oppression is such a bad thing that even for the rule of the whole world it can not be permissible on a small thing like an ant.

Islam looks towards society with honour and respect. That is why it stresses the need of restoration of justice and fair-play and rooting out of oppression and brutality. Islam made it clear that if there is justice and fair play in the society it will hold its grounds even though people are non believers, but it will not do the same or flourish if oppression, brutality, terrorism and social injustice is a part of society even though those who live there are Muslims. The main cause of the destruction of the busted nations is oppression therefore Almighty Allah says that, “If people are reformer than He does not destroy them for their single act of oppression”, because Almighty Allah is just and his representatives always make efforts for the victory of fair play and justice.

If we want to see the end of oppression and to get rid of terrorism and wrong doings from society then we will have to struggle too because it is the Quranic rule that Allah does not change a status of any nation until they themselves make an effort to change it.

Hazrat Ali (pbuh) in his famous commandment to Malik-e-Ashtar about the elite of the society stated that for a ruler no section of society is more expensive than this (i.e. the elite) in the days of happiness, while in time of problem it is the same section that provides the least amount of help; their expectations are more than any other group and they are the most ungrateful who do not accept any excuses viz. their expectations and are the most impatient. Only the ordinary public is the pillar of religion, central power of Muslims, and ever ready to confront the enemy. Therefore the centre of your attention should be the people, and not the elite. Through this commandment, Hazrat Ali (pbuh) very swiftly highlighted the mentality of the elite and ruling class and bestowed invaluable honour on the people.

On 19th Ramzan 40 AH Abdul Rehman Bin Muljam (may Almighty Allah curse him) attacked Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib while he was praying at Fajr time in Masjid e Kofa. Hazrat Ali announced that by the lord of Kabba I have been success and kissed martyrdom on 21st Ramzan al Mubarak. 

It was the height of his justice and fair-play that became the cause of his martyrdom. Therefore, when he was on the bed of martyrdom, he was asked about the punishment for his assassin. He said if I survived, I know what to do with him and if I couldn’t then it is up to you to take Qisas and in that case only give one strike in return of one strike but if you forgive him then it would be more near to piety. In short, Ali (pbuh) was honoured with such dignity and respect which other could not achieve in their lives. There is a saying of the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) that Almighty Allah Has bestowed those qualities to my brother Ali (pbuh) that could not be counted even by all human beings.  

Today the whole world of humanity is confronted with oppression, brutality and suppression, Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and many other States are facing oppression and new crises crop up there the day in and day out. International colonial powers and their agents were committing aggression against motherland Pakistan for a long and no home, village, city, town and even person is safe from them. Incidents of murder, arson, blasts, suicide attacks and target killings are the order of the day. Our rulers and leaders have bowed down before the international colonial powers, who keep their interests dear over the interest of the motherland Pakistan and its public. They should remember that Pakistan came into being on the name of Islam and its ideology is the prick in the eye of the enemy of the religion and the motherland, who try to harm the beloved motherland by creating more conflicts every day. These wicked forces can be defeated by following rules of Allah in the form of Mohammad’s system under the management of Murtaza (pbuh). This way the flag of Monotheism would flutter high and no satanic force would be able to cause any harm to us because the last victory is only for the righteousness and Allah.

On the occasion of the tragic martyrdom of Amir-e-Kainaat Kull-e-Emaan Hazrat Ali Ibn e Abi Talib (pbuh), we present our condolences to the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) and his Holy Progeny (pbut) and announce our commitment to express hatred against the oppressors and oppression by following the teachings of Ali Ibn e Abi Talib (pbuh) and would continue our struggle with sincerity of purpose for practical support of the oppressed and have-nots.
