Brethren in Islam!
A human being basically depends on one another, he is forced to live together therefore he likes to live together. Aristotle had also termed the human being a social animal. A society indicates the human nature. ‘Ma’ashrah’ (society) is derived from the word ‘Ashar’ which means living a life together with more than one person. People form a society that is why pairs of people were created for the survival and development of the human generation and then a unit came into being from the parents that was termed as groups and tribes in the Holy Quran. Therefore the God says:

(O, people! We created you all from one man and woman, then divided you in groups and tribes,
so that you could be recognized)
A human being has been termed the superior most creation in religion and Shariat, and man and woman both are human beings, there is no difference between the two as human beings. The following Ayahs provide witness and proof to this understanding:

(I do not go waste any action of any man or woman amongst you. You are the offspring of one another)

(That day people (men & women) will come out (from their graves) in groups so as to see their deeds, so a person who has done a bit of piousness will see that, and a person who has done a bit of evil will see that)
About the superiority of the mankind, Allah says:

(No doubt, We gave honour to Bani Adam, provided them transportation on earth and in water and gave
them pious meal and has given them superiority over many a creation)
The word Bani Adam needs some attention. That means neither any particular ethnic group, nation, colour and language is mentioned nor any one of them has been termed a standard of being the super most human being amongst them. Allah has created the universe and everything in the universe for the mankind:

(He is the one Who created for you all that the earth contains)
That means you are superior of them all.

(
and day and night have been subdued for you, Sun, Moon and stars are being controlled by
you on His commandment)
and He created the human being for His worship.

(
and We created Jins and the human beings for Our worship)

(Oh, human beings! Worship your God Who created you and those who were before you so that you become pious)
So, it has been revealed that human being is commensurate with man and woman and piousness has been the standards of respect, honour and supremacy.

(The respectable amongst you before Allah is the one who is the most pious)

(
and the outfit of piousness is the best of all)
Piousness has been termed the real make-up of the human being and the best thing to take along on the last journey is also piousness.

(Take along piousness on your journey because the best thing to take with is piousness)
All civilizations in the world considered woman the most humiliated creature on the basis that she is vulnerable and weak physically, neither she is empowered to perform any economic and social work nor have the power of tribal warfare. For that reason she is considered valueless, neither she keeps any entity nor personality. As a result one could find only very small number of women during the long history of Arab ignorance who enjoyed family value and respect. This society also kept its own formation and a particular language, the meanings of woman in its dictionary were commensurate to the sign of humiliation and woman was considered the source of disrespect and defamation for a society. There was a saying famous in the ignorant era that woman is a humiliation and she should be made a part of earth but Islam that created Islamic society blessed the humanity with heights of respect, and to woman respect, honour and dignity.

Heaven has been termed under the feet of mothers. Like the Creator sent various examples for men one after the other, similarly He also presented ideals and examples for women, and one of these ideals is Hazrat Fatima binte Moosa bin Jafar (S.A.) who is also remembered as “Masooma-e-Qum”. Hazrat Masoom-e-Qum (A.S.) was the spokeswoman of Khanwada-e-Ismat Wa Taharat and a practical performer of Seerat and character of this great Khanwada. The name of her mother is Najma Khatoon (A.S.) who is also the mother of Imam-e-Zamin Imam-e-Samin Hazrat Imam Raza (A.S.). She was born in Madinah Munawwarah on Zeeqa’ad 1, 173 Hijra. The sayings of A’aimmah At’haar (A.S.) stand witness to the status and importance she enjoyed. She is considered amongst the history-makers rather humaniser women in the Islamic history. She was an exemplary woman in her era, was the great sign of greatness of women. The greatness of Hazrat Fatima Masooma-e-Qum (A.S.) becomes clear from the saying of Hazrat-e-Samin Al-A’aimmah Imam Raza
(A.S.):

(One who offered Ziarat of Masoom-e-Qum, is as he has offered Ziarat to me)
Allah has sent 14 Masoomin (A.S.) but A’aimmah Karaam have termed her ‘Masooma’ that is for her status in reaching the Ma’arfat of Allah and the heights of piousness, and termed her Ziarat as their Ziarat. She derived knowledge from her brother Imam Raza (A.S.). She used to preach Quran and Hadis and teach the knowledge of religion and Shariat to women in Madinah Munawwarah. Hazrat Masooma-e-Qum (S.A.) is also called Mohaddisa. Allama Majlisi (R.A.) has mentioned some sayings in Bahar-ul-Anwaar about her being Mohaddisa. One of the sayings is quoted here that is interconnected with Hazrat Fatima tuz Zahra (S.A.). Hazrat Fatima tuz Zahra (S.A.) said have you forgotten the saying of the Holy Prophet (SAW) that he delivered in
Ghadeer-e-Khum:

(Ali is the Maula of those I am the Maula of)
For that reason Wilayat has been termed the basis of religion and completion of religion is commensurate with
Wilayat.

(Today I have completed the religion, and completed blessings and selected the religion of Islam for you)
The followers of Islam have been termed one Millat and the basis of Millat-e-Islamia is keeping Iman (faith) in the ideology of Tauheed, Risalat-o-Wilayat, and a person is man, woman and a member of Millat-e-Islamia with the acceptance of this ‘Kalima’ and the gathering of all these members forms an Islamic society.

(No doubt, all Momineen are brothers of each other)
Those who share one God, one Prophet, one Book, and one religion whether they are in east or west, in north or south are Millat-e-Wahida (one millat) and all men and women belonging to Millat-e-Islamia are members of the Islamic society while all other than that are Millat-e-Kufr. There are only two Millats in the whole world and this is what we call Two-Nation Theory. On the whole universe, Pakistan has the singular honour of becoming into existence on the basis of Two-Nation Theory getting recognition of Islamic Ideology. Pakistan is the target of international Taghoot (devil) and Kufr (infidelity) just because of the basic reason that its Asaas (base) is Islam. But Millat-e-Islamia is a universal Millat and the Holy Prophet has said: No Arab enjoys supremacy over Ajami, the black on the white; you all (men and women) are the offspring of Adam who was created from earth. The superior most amongst you is the one who is pious. Therefore Islam is a Millat and piousness stands the standard of supremacy, now geographical boundaries should not create any hurdle to us. Therefore we will have to consider any attack on any Maslak, Maktab or a country as an attack on the whole Millat. We will have to prove that we are Millat-e-Wahida if we desire to retrieve Qibla-e-Awwal and achieve the independence of Palestine and Kashmir. At present the colonial powers and her Zionist and Hindu agents consider the Islamic World a danger for them therefore utilize one tactic or the other to overcome it. If we desire to come out of the influence of super powers then we will have to display
. If we failed in doing so then will continue to fall prey to them one by one all responsibility of which would lay on Muslim rulers and the OIC. Therefore, it was binding for the OIC to adopt a strong and consolidate joint policy taking all issues faced by the Islamic World including Kashmir and Palestine into consideration, Inshallah, success would kiss their feet and every conspiracy and nefarious design of the international Taghoot would be thwarted.
On the occasion of “Youm Azmat-e-Niswaan” we announce our commitment that our all struggle would be aimed at only and only in achieving independence for the oppressed and Muslim people.
