RAWALPINDI – February 23: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that the whole nation by displaying unity and brotherhood on the occasion of Ashra-e-Muharram has proved that Hussains (A.S.) sacrifice was for the dignity of humanity and Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.) belongs to all and no Taghoot of the world could create rift and differences amongst us. In a statement issued here on Wednesday, he thanked the District Administration of the whole country right from President Pervez Musharraf, all schools of thought, different sections of society including the media for extending practical cooperation during the Ashra-e-Muharram, and said, Azadari programmes would continue till 8th Rabi-ul Awwal and the Central, Provincial and District TNFJ Muharram Committee Azadari Cells will continue working round-the-clock, therefore, the Federal and Provincial governments should direct their Control Rooms to continue working and keep a contact with TNFJ Central Muharram Committee Azadari Cell. He said we have full faith, trust and Iqaan in God that the nation and the country would continue following the path of acme rather the whole country would become a hub of peace. Mann yatawakkal Alallah fa Howa hasbohu One who keeps faith in Allah, is enough for him, he added. The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi said that Matmi Azadaran deserve hundreds of thanks who followed the Code of Azadari in letter and spirit, therefore, they would have to make Hussainiyyat beacon of light for the protection of nation and the country, keep in touch with the Markaz and remain fully alert for promotion of the mission of Wila and Aza. He said international Taghoot had always been pursuing the policy of creating differences amongst the poor and deprived, oppressed nations and the Islamic World for achieving self-interest, they are still following the policy of aggression to create differences amongst them while we have proved and would continue to do so through our words and deeds that our God, religion, Book, and Kaaba is one and we are one Ummah that is also called Ummat-e-Wast. Therefore, he said, problems of any one is the problem of us all and oppression against any one is oppression against us all while we also share our pleasures and grieves. He said if all rulers the world over adopt this policy then no power on earth could divide and bow down the oppressed nation, and the Islamic World.

Addressing a Majlis-e-Aza at Pind Begowal under the auspices of Mukhtar Force District Islamabad Commander Syed Nazakat Hussain Kazmi, the TNFJ District Islamabad President Allama Basharat Hussain Imami said, Hussainiyyat is the source of success and victory, which if followed, could be helpful in thwarting the conspiracies of international colonial powers. He said the character and seerat of Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) is the practical Tafseer of Holy Quran and the righteous path being the best source of survival for the whole humanity. He said Hussain ibne Ali (A.S.) left Madinah and settled for Karbala refusing Baiaat to a liar and debaucher to unveil the real face of tyranny and Yazidiyyat. He said Shahadat-e-Hussain gave a new lease of eternal life to Islam. Zakir Ulfat Hussain, Zakir Syed Qamar Raza Naqvi, Zakir Sajid Ali Sajid and others also addressed the gathering.

He said Uswah-e-Hussain (A.S.) is now the international manifesto of Ali (A.S.)s ideology for freedom which is the practical tafseer of Quran and the best code of ethics for the human beings the world over in the presence of which there is no need of introducing any other code. He said the Shariat is being promoted throughout the world today courtesy Maula Hussain (A.S.) and the battle of Karbala is preaching a lesson to us even today to achieve the eternal life sacrificing our life and wealth in way of the righteousness. Annual Majlis and Matamdari was held at the residence of Kashif Butt at Dhoke Chaudrian while Alam Mubarak of Hazrat Abbas Alamdar (A.S.) was taken out under the auspices of Matmi Dasta Sada-e-Hussaini from the residence of Syed Mudassar Kazmi in Sadiqabad.

RAWALPINDI 21 February: Ashra of Sharikatul Hussain (co-partner of Hazrat Imam Hussain A.S.) began on 11 Muharram-ul-Haram throughout the country to pay homage to extreme patience and firmness displayed by Hazrat Zainab bint-e-Ali (A.S.). In this connection, majalis-e-aza were held and matmi processions were taken out from across the country including twin cities of federal capital Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
In Rawalpindi, participants of the main procession that was taken out from the residence of late Bawa Syed Karam Hussain Shah performed great zanjirzani at Chuhr Chowk. Matmi corps from across the division participated in noha khwani and matam dari.
On this occasion, Allama Agha Ali Hussain Najafi while addressing a majlis-e-aza at Malik House said Hussain ibn-e-Ali (A.S.) rendered supreme sacrifices along with his 72 near and dear ones for defence and protection of Shariah, while Sharikatul Hussain Hazrat Zainab bint-e-Ali (A.S.) and Syed-us Sajideen Hazrat Imam Zain-ul-Abideen (A.S.) practically displayed patience and firmness in the bazaars of Kufa and Syria and courts of Yazid and Ibn-e-Zyad for protection of blood of martyrs as well as safety and promotion of Mission-e-Hussainiyat. He said Aseeran-e-Karbala despite being chained lifted the veil from the face of Yazidiyat and thus presented its true picture to the world. He urged the need of disseminating Hussainiyat even today to erase every oppressor and make this world a hub of peace. A resolution presented by Stage Secretary of the program was adopted unanimously by the participants of the majlis-e-aza. The resolution lamented over non-giving of additional holiday by the government as Ashura fell on Sunday. It said that whenever Eid festival falls on a closed holiday, the government gives an additional holiday but this practice was not exercised on Ashura. Moreover, the District governments announce local holidays on Urs and match but none of them save Quetta has given local holiday on Muharram 11. Another resolution severely condemned political slogan mongering by a banned terrorist organization in the central procession of Ashura Day, and made clear that Azadaran-e-Hussain (A.S.) have no link with these elements. Therefore, administration is under obligation to curb such elements before-hand so that Azadari of Mazloom-e-Karbala (A.S.) and sanctity of Matmi procession may not be hurt. The resolution asserted that Azadaran and Matmiyan have no link with any banned terror organization. The participants of the majlis reiterated their resolve that all Azadaran-e-Hussain (A.S.) will fully follow Code of Azadari issued by Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi till 8 Rabi-ul-Awwal like first Ashra of Muharram-ul-Haram. Later, the grand procession culminated at the shrine of Sakhi Shah Pyara Kazmi Al-Mashhadi after touching through its designated routes.
RAWALPINDI – February 20: Day of Ashoora in memory of Nawasa-e-Rasool Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) and his 72 sincere companions was observed with due solemnity and devotion throughout the country including Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas on Sunday. The day began with Aamal-e-Ashoora in mosques. Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi led Aamal-e-Ashoora at Ali Mosque, Satellite Town. Masaib-e-Ashoora were also rendered on this occasion.
In Rawalpindi/Islamabad, main Ashoora Day procession was taken out from Imambargah Col. Maqbool Hussain College Road and Imambargah Hifazat Ali Shah Bohar Bazar. Zuljinah procession taken out from Imambargah Ashiq Hussain Teli Mohallah merged into the main procession. Zanjeer-Zani was performed by mourners of Imam Hussain (A.S.) on this occasion. Zuljinah, Alam Mubarik, Tazia, Mehndi Shahzada-e-Qasim, Gehwara Masoom Ali Asghar, Taboot Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.) and other taburrakaat were included in the procession.
Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi made special participation, offered Ziarat of the taburrakaat and participated in Matamdari. A large number of mourners engaged themselves in heavy Zanjeer-Zani and Matam-e-Qama at Bohar Bazar Chowk, Trunk Bazar, and Habib Bank Chowk.
The procession turned into a big rally after reaching Fawwara Chowk where addressing the participants, Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi, Central Secretary Information TNFJ, said the valuable sacrifice of Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.) was for survival of religion of Islam and humanity. He said the great personality that was brought up in the lap of Risalat (SAW) accepted chopping off his head in Sajdah-e-Khaliq but by refusing the Baiat of a debaucher and liar like Yazid preached the universal lesson for the freedom fighters for ever to confront the tyrant rulers and Yazidiyyat. He said there is no monopoly of any sect over the Hussain Mazloom-e-Karbala (A.S.), therefore, promotion of Hussainiyyat is the responsibility of everyone. He said whenever a holiday falls on a closed holiday on Eid or any other festival, the government gives an additional holiday but, he lamented, that this practice was not exercised on Ashoora. Moreover, the District governments announce local holidays on Urs and match but they also ignored Ashoora totally. He said holiday on 11th Muharram should have been announced for the benefit of Azadaran.
Zaidi expressing his concern over the meetings of the Prime Minister with the banned organizations said it is commensurate with sabotaging the steps of President Musharraf and strengthening terrorists. He also condemned a private TV channel for not stopping musical and entertainment programmes till the Day of Ashoora. He lauded the better arrangements made by the Islamabad and Rawalpindi Administration for Muharram. He said Azadari is not inheritance of any particular sect or group rather it is the joint inheritance of all schools of thought. That is why, he said, all Shia-Sunni brethren observe the remembrance of Shuhada-e-Karbala, organise Sabeels, and make arrangements for Nazar-o-Niaz. No hurdle in way of Azadari would be accepted. On this occasion, thousands of Matamdaran reiterated their resolve to offer all types of sacrifice on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi for promotion of Wilayat-e-Ali (A.S.) and protection of Azadari. Ch. Mushtaq also addressed the gathering on this occasion. Haider Abbas Bajwa, Central President of Mukhatar Students Organisation presented a resolution that was approved by the participants by raising vociferous slogans. The resolution made it clear that the exemplary martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) and his near and dear ones was for the protection of religion and Shariat and for the respect of mankind. The participants of the rally while presenting condolences in Bargah-e-Khatmi Martabat (SAW) reiterated their resolve that they will neither bargain nor allow anyone to bargain on highest goals and principles for the supremacy of which these precious sacrifices were offered. The resolution said while mourning is at its peak throughout the world including Pakistan, meetings of the Prime Minister at this time with banned organisations and such organisations that have no standing is surprising and a matter of concern. The resolution called upon the President and the Prime Minister to take strict notice that why real powers are not given time for meeting by those who are in echelons of power. He said the real representatives of the nation should be found out and those elements should be identified who are creating differences between the government and the real representatives of the nation. The resolution said that the Punjab Government makes tall claims that they have done this and that for the welfare of the people but they should tell what they have done so far to facilitate the Azadaran-e-Mazloom-e-Karbala? The resolution thanked the Islamabad and Rawalpindi Administration for fully cooperating during the Majalis and Matmi processions of Ashra-e-Muharram. While lauding the setting up of Muharram Control Rooms by some provinces and by the Interior Ministry, the resolution expressed concern that neither the Punjab Government has formed these Cells nor they replied to any letters as they had been sent more than a hundred letters by the Central Muharram Committee Azadari Cell of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya. How could the peace be restored when real representatives are not contacted? The resolution expressed surprise that Chief Minister Ch. Pervez Illahi says that he was born and brought up in Punjab then why he visited the neighbouring country and contacted their representatives but why he was ignoring the real powers and real representative organisations of the nation?
The resolution said that the Azadari of Imam Hussain (A.S.) would continue till 8th Rabiul Awwal, therefore, the Punjab Province should set up Muharram Control Rooms forthwith so as to facilitate the Azadaran-e-Imam Hussain. Other provinces should also set up Muharram Cells, it said. The resolution said that Allah is the super most power and then Rasool-e-Khuda (SAW), Ahle Bait Atahaar (A.S.) and Sahaba Kubaar (R.A.) come on the basis of their Zuhd-o-Taqwa. The resolution demanded stoppage of musical and indecent programmes from all TV channels forthwith otherwise he said, Hussainiyyat would devour them and would take over the whole world. The resolution made it clear that all Sunni and Shia and even non-Muslims consider Hussain ibne Ali (A.S.) as their leader and guide but the attitude of some TV channels is tragic. The resolution thanked the print media, particularly Dailies Jang, Nawa-i-Waqt, Dawn, The News, Ausaaf, Pakistan and some other papers who continued their cooperation during Ayyam-e-Aza and paid Ajr-e-Risalat by giving full coverage to Azadari programmes. However, he pointed some black sheep also who need to be identified and booked. The resolution said that newspapers publish special editions on Ashoora but it has been seen that the same old faces and same old write-ups are used despite the fact that along with Maktab-e-Tasayyo, there are many writers in Ahle Sunnat and Maktab-e-Deoband, therefore the newspapers should give attention on this aspect also. The participants of the main Ashoora procession demanded from the government to root out terrorism from the country by ensuring effective implementation of the Anti-Terrorism Act, and take immediate notice of the activities of the banned groups active with new names.
Matamdaran-e-Hussain reiterated their resolve to observe all Azadari programmes till 8th Rabiul Awwal marking conclusion of Ayyam-e-Aza like they have observed Ashra-e-Muharram by following the Code of Azadari announced by Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi and they would thwart every conspiracy and mischief of the enemy through their mutual brotherhood and understanding. The participants reiterated their resolve to present any sacrifice on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Moosavi for his mission of Wila and Aza. The resolution while expressing complete solidarity with the oppressed the world over including Karbala-e-Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan strongly condemned the brutalities against them. Later, historic Zanjeer-Zani was performed by participants of the main Ashoora procession. Zuljinah processions taken out from Imambargah Kashmirian Tyre Bazar and Darbar Shah Chan Chiragh also merged into the main procession at Purana Qila. The main Ashoora procession terminated at Imambargah Qadeem after passing through Jamia Masjid Road and Pull Shah Nazar. The participants of Zuljinah processions taken out from Imambargah Yadgar-e-Hussain Satellite Town and Imambargah Baltistania Angatpura performed Zanjeer-Zani at Banni Chowk. Both these processions terminated after reaching Imambargah Qadeem. A heavy contingent of police along with district administration officials remained with the procession throughout. In Peshawar, the main procession to mark Ashoora Day was taken out from Imambargah Rezi Shah Kocha Jan attended by thousands of Azadaran and Matamdaran. In Quetta, main Ashoora Day procession was brought out from Punjabi Imambargah Alamdar Road. The Azadaran were reciting nohas. In Lahore, the main procession that was taken out from Nisar Haweli on Ashoora Night ended at Karbala Gamay Shah on Ashoora Day after touching through its designated routes. After Fajr Azan, Zanjeer Zani was performed at Mochi Gate. Tens of thousands of Matamdaran-e-Hussain attended. In Karachi, main Ashoora procession was taken out from Khurasan Imambargah Nishtar Park, and culminated at Imambargah Hussainia Irania Kharadar after passing through its designated routes. Tens of thousands of Matamdaran participated in the procession. Zanjeer Zani was also performed to pay homage to Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) and his 72 sincere companions.
