Moosavi vows religion and
motherland would not be let to be caused harm, announces “Ayyam-e-Aza” from
December 2 – 4 in connection with Shahadat of Imam Ali Ar-Reza (AS)

RAWALPINDI, November 30: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali
Shah Moosavi has vowed that by following in the footsteps of Imam Ali Bin Moosa
Ar-Reza (AS) religion and motherland would not be let to be caused harm.

He stated this while announcing to observe “Ayyam-e-Aza” from December 2
– 4 marking the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ali Bin Moosa Ar-Reza (AS).

In a message issued from Maktab-e-Tashayyo’s headquarters – TNFJ -, Agha
Moosavi said talking about Khasan-e-Ilahi (Divine chosen persons), prophets,
messengers, aulia and righteous persons is in fact remembering them, calling
attention of humanity towards their good deeds and telling that these holy
personalities performed that matchless deeds following which we could walk on
path of progress even today.

He stressed that Quran has also talked about prophets and good persons of
Allah, because talking about them is a source of satisfaction of heart; human
dignity and respect and honour of religious values is linked with their
remembrance; further it is confrontation with oppression, barbarism and cruelty,
and revival of invitation of Tauhid, Risalat, Wilayat and good deeds. He said
pious divine servants remained protectors, defenders, preachers and
spokespersons of these values and for this reason keeping continue commemoration
of righteous persons, Creator of the Universe ordered Hazrat Moosa (AS) to
observe “Ayyam-Ullah” (Days of Allah).

The TNFJ chief said our most important responsibility is that let not
remembrance of Risalat Maab, Ahle Baite Atahaar and their holy Sahaba Kibaar to
be forgotten.

He said Hazrat Imam Ali Reza (AS) is the great figure of Ahle Baite
Rasool (SAWW) and eighth justified successor of Holy Prophet (SAWW. He is called
Abul-Hasan SAni. His titles are Sabir, Razi, Wafi and Reza. Reason behind ‘Reza’
is that he he was favourite of Allah in heaven, source of reza (pleasure) of
holy Prophet (SAWW) and A’immah Huda (AS) on earth and foes and friends all were
pleased with him.

Moosavi told that when his respected father Hazrat Imam Moosa Kazim (AS)
was martyred with poison, a bloody war began between Mamoon and Ameen. During
this Mamoon made a vow that in case of his success he will hand over caliphate
to the progeny of Abu Talib (AS). Therefore after defeating Ameen, Mamoon became
duty bound to fulfil this vow; therefore he forced Imam Reza (AS) to accept
caliphate, crown prince-ship.

He made clear that work of divine-chosen persons is inviting towards The
Magnificent, The Merciful, and saving from satanic tactics; none of their deed
is empty of wisdom. Therefore as Prophet Yousaf (AS) accepted to become
heir-apparent of Azize Misar (Egypt’s King) for welfare of humanity which is
mentioned in Holy Quran, similarly Imam Reza (AS) unwillingly accepted to become
crown prince only to save Ummat-e-Wasat, and said by God My father has warned
according to a hadis of Prophet of Allah (SAWW) that I will leave this world
before you, I will be martyred with poison, will be buried beside the grave of
Harun Rashid, and heavens and earth will weep for me. Mamoon asked who can do
this in my presence. Imam (AS) replied: I can tell who will martyr me. In brief,
Mamoon issued Ehd-Nama (agreement) regarding status and greatness of Imam (AS).
Therein he made clear that at this time the most important and superior
personality is Hazrat Ali bin Moosa Ar-Reza (AS). His objective was so that
People came to know about his crown-prince-ship and recognize Islamic society
with the title of Imam.

Ehd-Nama (covenant) went on saying: Islam is the favourite religion of
Allah. Allah has chosen between Him and His servants Rasool (SAWW) who guides
people towards Him. The Prophet who came first gave good news of the coming
prophet, and the prophet who came after verified the former one up to this that
chain of Nabuwwat and Risalat ended on the prophethood of Muhammad Mustafa (SAWW).
Book (Quran) was revealed on the holy Prophet (SAWW) wherein Batil (falsehood)
cannot find way from anywhere. Holy Prophet (SAWW) fulfilled his duties very
well; invited human beings towards Allah with his good virtues up to this that
Allah called Prophet (SAW) to Him. When Nabuwwat ended and chain of wahi
stopped, He enclosed firmness of religion and system and affairs of Muslims in
caliphate and successor-ship. It is the responsibility of successors of Prophet
to invite servants of Allah towards religion, protect and defend it, obey Allah,
and Muslims are duty bound to follow divine-chosen persons. If there exists no
conformity between imam and mamoom (follower), leader and the nation then the
society will become a target of differences, and rift will become preface of
success of enemy. A leader and guide should effort for justice and equity and
should keep in mind that he will be responsible of oppressions being done within
circle of his government. I was thinking since long to select the most suitable
personality for this most important responsibility, and present him as leader
and imam. In finding such a person, I could not get sleep of night and rest of
day because I want to introduce such a person who takes care of ummat, keeps
superiority above all in religion, excellence, knowledge and holiness; I prayed
Allah day and night to help me; after deep search, I found Ali bin Moosa Ar-Reza
(AS) unparallel with regard to knowledge, piety, pious-ness, excellence and
honour, and the most suitable for caliphate. Now Mamoon orders his all sons,
children, army and servants to step forward to take oath of allegiance to Imam
Reza (AS) with happiness, and know that I have mashed self desires in front of
Allah’s power and satisfied with Imam Reza (AS).

Therefore, all took oath of allegiance to Imam Reza (AS). Imam penned
down on the backside of ehd-nama which last lines were: I am Ali bin Moosa Ar-Reza.
May Allah guide him. To some extent he recognized our right while others
neglected it. I accept crown-prince-ship to save Muslims from differences and to
change religion’s decline to elevation. If Allah keeps me alive after Mamoon?

Agha Moosavi said that after this agreement, Imam’s name was included in
Friday sermons even the sermon of Imam of Haramain; also his name was inscribed
on coins. But as he was successor of Rasool (SAWW) and inheritor of Ali (AS) and
Batool (AS), therefore he did not care for anyone’s enmity in giving right of
oppressed to him and establishment of justice.

How such holy personalities could be accepted by dictators and oppressive
rulers of the world, therefore Imam like his forefathers kissed martyrdom with
poison. His holy shrine housed in Mashhad Muqaddas is a place of all creatures.

Extending condolence and consolation to the family of Prophet (SAWW) on
the sad occasion of “Ayyam-e-Aza” marking the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ali
bin Moosa Ar-Reza (AS), the Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Hamid Moosavi
reiterated his resolve to support oppressed and have-nots and condemn world of
oppression and barbarism.

Musharraf’s taking oath as civilian president and Gen Kiyani’s appointment as COAS ‘a wise step’, Peaceful change in this critical time ‘lesson-giving’ for politicians: Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya’s reaction

RAWALPINDI, November 29: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi appreciating the stepping down of President Pervez Musharraf as Chief of army Staff (COAS) and taking oath as civilian president has termed this change a good step.

In a statement issued from Markaz-e-Tashayyo, he said the boldness and bravery displayed by Pervez Musharraf is not only a wise decision rather very sound and right, and the whole nation should commend it.

Terming the appointment of Gen. Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani as Chief of army Staff (COAS) a good omen, the TNFJ chief extended greetings to both personalities.

He said this peaceful change occurred in this critical time is lesson-giving for all stratums particularly politicians and leaders in whose words and deeds there exist contradiction, while Pakistan Forces are the biggest identity of honour, magnificence, muscle and power of the nation and the country; they presented matchless sacrifices in every tough time.

Agha Moosavi said our enemy keeps this pain that why Pakistan is getting more and more strength. During 60-year-period after Quaid-i-Azam, role of politicians is no more a secret; they became the root cause of army’s stepping in power; they wrote letters to implement Martial Law.

He said handing over the command to Gen Kiyani is historic step of Pervez Musharraf. He set a fine example keeping his self under control of wisdom. It is following in the steps of guides and leaders of religion and those who walk on shariat and tariqat.

He quoted crux of a saying of Ameerul Momineen Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (AS) that beware, lest self-desires overcome you because at first they maintain their rule and then will kill you.

Now when Musharraf has taken oath as civilian president and handed over Pak Forces command to General Kiyani, there is no justification for anyone to boycott elections. Now responsibilities of all political parties have become multiple, it is their test whether they give priority to interests of Pakistan or their self.

Had all stratums worked keeping themselves in their circle and limits, motherland would not have to face this kind of crisis, but now we have to ensure honour, respect and conferment of rights of all on equality level to adorn future and make Pakistan more and more stable keeping the past in front of us. Only in this way, dream of making the motherland a welfare Islamic State could be achieved.

Sardar Qazilbash tells govt to take solid steps to ensure law & order on time of general elections, demands get Sunni-Shia hostages in Darra Adamkhail freed, Indus Highway be cleared of extremists, asserts terrorism should not be given religious colour

PESHAWAR, November 27: Sardar Mumtaz Ali Qazilbash, Deputy Secretary General of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan has said that the incidents of terrorism, murder, arson and disturbance of peace in different areas including Kurram Agency, Ilaqah Bangash, Swat, Waziristan must be curbed immediately to ensure law and order situation on the occasion of general elections.

He stated this while talking to a representative delegation of elite of Sarhad province who called on him at the head of Sardar Tahir Abbas. He said by the grace of God there is no Sunni-Shia conflict at any place, however our combined enemy is trying her utmost to pitch brother against brother and give this conflict a religious colour. Therefore, he added, we should understand this conspiracy and thwart it through mutual unity.

He expressed concern that passengers including women and children travelling on buses, trucks, and other vehicles passing through the Indus Highway in Darra Adamkhail F.R. area, are being taken hostage on gun point and many of them have been murdered.

He demanded from the government to get all Sunni-Shia hostages freed without any discrimination, and the Indus Highway should be cleared of extremists so that the passengers as well as the vehicles could pass through that area without any fear. He called upon the human rights and international organisations to give attention on this important issue in the name of humanity and play their role in getting the sensitive areas cleared of terrorists and miscreants.

Sardar Mumtaz Ali Qazilbash said that as per a saying of Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi a terrorist keeps no Maslak or a country, he is only a terrorist and should be seen only in that context without giving him any favour. He said the general elections are very near and it is feared that people would not be able to utilise their right of vote.

Expressing grave concern on the heavy loss of life in Kurram Agency and Parachinar, he condoled with the bereaved families and demanded from the government to set up a high level Tribunal to carry out an impartial probe, right of anyone should not be encroached upon and strictly implement the Anti-Terrorism Act in doing so. He said some political powers could reap the benefit of these incidents; therefore, the government should not delay in taking any corrective measures.

Moosavi addresses to intending pilgrims, says Haj objective is to give eternity to centrality of Bait-Ullah, assert benefit of Muslims division is being reaped by Satanic forces

RAWALPINDI, November 26: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that Bait-Ullah (House of Allah, Ka’abah) is the centre, axis and fountainhead of whole humanity and its great objective is to give eternity to the centrality of Bait-Ullah.

He stated this while talking to a group of intending Hajis (pilgrims) who called on him at the head of Hojjatul Islam Allama Syed Zahid Abbas Kazmi, Salar of the Karawan-e-Fatmia.

He said there is good omen in the things that have been declared obligatory or Halal while there is evil in the things which have been declared Haram or restricted. He said Haj is a great Rukn of religion which meant Ziarat of Bait-Ullah and carry out those deeds and fulfil those commandments for which Zaat-e-Illahi Has given commandment. Fulfilment of these commandments is called Haj rites (Manasik-e-Haj), he added.

Agha Moosavi said performing Haj once in life time is obligatory for every adult, wise and for the one who can afford it, therefore, Ayah 97 of Surah Aal-e-Imran says: Haj of this Bait is obligatory for you, for the one who have the capability to afford it, and who refused to do so, Allah is Ghani and Beniaz. He said the importance of Haj is crystal clear from this Quranic Ayah. He said Haj has been declared best of the deeds; therefore, it is obligatory for those who can afford it to give importance in performing Haj. He said the Zaat-e-Illahi did not create anything without any objective. The greatest objective of Haj is preaching Tauheed (oneness), Zaat-e-Illahi is “Wahdahoo La Shareek”. That is why, he said, the Holy Prophet (SAAW) said in his Message of Nabuwwat that: Recite Kalmah-e-Tauheed, you will get Falah.

The TNFJ chief said that the height and objective of all worships is Sa’adat and Falah, Islam is the religion in which there is no discrimination, and which preaches to gather on one point. He said Bait Allah is the centre of Ilm-o-Irfan (wisdom) that is the sign of centrality of the Muslim Ummah. He said the Khalifate of Allah Hazrat Adam (A.S.) stayed at Harm-e-Pak and Hazrat Ibrahim Khalil Allah (A.S.) migrated to the same centre while they were also declared basis of Millat-e-Ibrahimi. Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S.) built this up along with Ismail Zabeeh Allah (A.S.).

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that Haj is that great worship which preaches equality. He said there is no difference in black and white, Arab and Ajam as the whole humanity becomes visibly busy in Tasbih-e-Wahdat. The Haj rites indicate that our Allah, Rasool (SAAW), Ka’abah, and the Book is one.

He said the reason of division in different parts is giving up the commandments of Allah the benefit of which is being reaped by Satanic forces and we are being defamed throughout the world. He said Qibla-e-Awwal is in Zionist occupation and Muslims are hit by anarchy.

He said Pakistan at present is the particular target where both the government and the opposition are pitched against each other while people are confronted with poverty and hunger. He said if we are desirous of restoring honour, supremacy and success of the Islamic World and development of motherland then we would have to pay Haqooq-ul-Ibad as in it lay our success.

” Ayyam-e-Zamin “: Imam Ali Bin Moosa Ar-Raza (as) birthday celebrated with enthusiasm

ISLAMABAD, November 25: Ayyam-e-Zamin programmes from 22 to 25 Nov (11 to 14 zeeqad) marking the birthday of Hazrat Imam Ali Bin Moosa Ar-Raza (A.S.) on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi concluded on Sunday throughout the country like other global parts.

Mahafil-e-Milad, conferences, seminars and functions on the topic of Seerat-e-Imam Zamin were held in mosques and Imambargahs in all small and big cities and towns of the country including Federal Capital Islamabad and Rawalpindi to pay homage to Imam-e-Zamin (A.S.).

Ulema, waizeen and zakireen highlighting the oswah of Imam-e-Zamin (A.S.) termed the practical following as a source of success here and the Hereafter.

In Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Mahafil Imam Zamin (A.S.) were held at Jamia Masjid Khadijatul Kubra, Masjid Imam Ali Naqi, Masjid Imam Moosa Kazim, Jamiatul Murtaza Islamabad, Imambargah Zain ul-Aza, Jamiatul Momineen, Imambargah Jagir Ali Akbar, Qasr-e-Imam Ali Raza, and Qasr-e-Abu Talib.

Addressing the Mehfil Imam-e-Zamin, scholars said that distance from the Dar-e-Imam Raza (A.S.) is commensurate with a distance of medicine from the pain. Hazrat Imam Raza (A.S.) preached the practical method of transforming human seerat and character in line with the pleasure of Allah, that if followed the human being could not only fulfill the objective of his creation but the whole humanity would benefit from it.

They said Hazrat Imam Ali Raza (A.S.) is the eighth inheritor of the Khatam-ul-Mursaleen (SAAW) who utilized all his energy for promoting Kalma-e-Haq and bore difficulties by facing oppression, suppression, brutality with courage and bravery but did not give up his highest goals. He said the Imam Zamin (A.S.) enlightened the candles of Tauheed-e-Illahi with courage, patience and firmness in the era of oppression, brutality and darkness and disseminated the message of Islam, peace and brotherhood.

A resolution adopted on the occasion strongly condemned the oppression and terrorism going on the world over, particularly the massacre of innocent people in Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Iraq and termed declaring this bloodshed as sectarian and maslaki conflicts by the anti-Islam forces as a heinous conspiracy against Islam.

Yet another resolution called upon the government and the opposition to adopt the policy of mutual understanding viz. national affairs so as to save the country and the nation from anarchy and to thwart the enemy conspiracy to destabilize Pakistan. The resolution also condemned the ongoing unrest in Kurram Agency, sawat, parachinar, waziristan and Bangash areas and demanded investigation.

Meanwhile, according to reports reaching the office of central Ayyam-e-Zamin Committee of the TNFJ, programs were also held in Dina Hadala Sayedan, Pehswar, Lahore, Karachi, Larkana, Quetta, Kohat, Mianwali, Tank, Hazara, Muzaffarabad, Bagh, Gilgit, Skardu, Faisalabad, Multan, Larkana, Dera Ghazi Khan, D.I.Khan, Haiderabad, Sakkhar, Khairpur Miras, Dadu, Sehwan Sharif, Naushero Feroze, Osta Muhammad, Rajanpur, Muzaffargarh, Sheikhupura, and Sargodha.

Suicide blasts near sensitive sites in Rawalpindi doing of anti-Pakistan forces

RAWALPINDI, November 24: Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has strongly slammed suicide blasts near sensitive sites in Rawalpindi.

In a statement issued from Markaz-e-Tashayyo, he said our combined enemy desires to tell that no area, city, town or province even the federal capital is out of its reach. It is reaping benefit from differences of political parties, the government and the opposition who all are struggling to bring each other low.

Agha Moosavi asserted that our perpetual enemy wants to separate brother from brother, maslak from maslak and party from party. All this is doing of those powers that do not desire to see Pakistan prosperous; they exert pressure on Pakistan the day in and the day out; and use to bring agendas one after the other.

The TNFJ chief made clear that our statements since a quarter century were based on reality, and these are being admitted this day that there is no maslaki or maktabi conflict in Pakistan, and that a terrorist keeps no faith or State, he is only a terrorist and attaching him with any country or religion is the biggest terrorism. Expressing grave concern over continued killings and terrorism, he said we all our duty bound in this sensitive situation to spend all our energies for Pakistan’s defence and safety pushing our personality and interests with unity. He said attack on any city or figure of Pakistan is in fact an assault against Pakistan’s ideology; we strongly condemn it. He further said only condemnation of terrorism is not enough rather iron measures for its eradication are the paramount need of the hour.

He appealed Gen. Pervez Musharraf to ensure effective implementation of Anti-Terrorism Act unveiling those powers that sabotaged it.

He said we would have to abandon the habit of ‘faithful in government and traitor outside government’/ by the grace of God there is no traitor here, every Pakistani is ready to sacrifice his life for the motherland.

All masalik and countries should be respected because the combined enemy desires to separate people and destabilize the motherland by terror incidents and creating differences. Its this dream will never be let to be fulfilled. He prayed for height of ranks of those martyred and killed in the Rawalpindi incidents, and patience for the bereaved families.

Ayyam-e-Zamin programmes begin; TNFJ committee secretary says election schedule during days of Muharram reception not good

RAWALPINDI, November 22: The programmes of four-day “Ayyam-e-Zamin” being observed on 22-25 November on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi in connection with the Wiladat-e-Purnoor of Hazrat Imam Ali Raza (A.S.) began throughout the country on Thursday.

Mahafil-e-Milad, conferences and seminars were organised in mosques and Imambargahs where ulema, waizeen, and zakireen highlighted the ideologies of Hadiyan Deen-e-Illahi, Mashaheer of religion and Shariat, Anbia, Mursaleen and Ahle Bait Athaar (A.S.) besides throwing light on the seerat, character and charisma of Hazrat Ali Bin Musa Ar-Raza (A.S.).

Muhammad Abbas Baloch, Secretary of the International Ayyam-e-Zamin Committee of the TNFJ, addressing a meeting held in connection with reviewing arrangements of these programmes said Imam Zamin Hazrat Ali Bin Musa Ar-Raza (A.S.) was the symbol of sacrifice and forbearance spending all his life in preaching the religion of Islam and serving the humanity. He had to face a lot of difficulties and problems but remained firm in his great mission, he added. He said practical following of the Asswah of Imam Zamin (A.S.) is the need of the hour for solution of one problem or the other in the present critical situation.

A resolution adopted on the occasion called upon the government to take effective steps to improve the law and order situation during the country-wide Ayyam-e-Zamin programmes and give full coverage of these programmes on the media.

Another resolution expressed grave concern on the law and order situation prevailing in the country in general, and particularly in the sensitive areas of Kurram Agency, Swat and other areas and declared that there is no Sunni-Shia conflict there rather the foreign hand is definitely behind these incidents of terrorism, murder, arson and kidnapping, the fact accepted by the Spokesman of the Interior Ministry during his Press briefing. Therefore, the government should tackle the terrorists with an iron hand and should lodge strong protest against those countries to which these anti-human elements have come and are shedding the blood of innocent people, it added.

Another resolution strongly condemned the Indian statement in which it was stated that heavy responsibility lay on India for restoring peace in Pakistan and asked who has given the task of restoring peace to India? The resolution said that the whole world is aware what happened to Muslims in Indian Gujerat and India could not bring to fore the investigation report of the train incident. The participants reiterated their resolve that no anti-nation and anti-State element would be allowed to disturb peace in Pakistan and all schools of thought would thwart their conspiracies jointly.

Another resolution said that announcement of general elections by President Gen. Pervez Musharraf before Muharram was a good step but the announcement of election schedule by the Election Commission during the days of arrival of Muharram is not a good thing. Moreover this decision was taken in the presence of a few parties while dozens of parties were not invited. General elections just before the start of Muharram would affect the pro-Muharram programmes. Thus the Election Commission should have given the election schedule in the beginning of January. Terming the release of political workers and journalists a good step, the resolution demanded restoration of telecast by private TV channels also calling upon the media to exercise sense and wisdom keeping the honour and dignity of the motherland supreme.
