Brethren in faith!
Allah has repeatedly mentioned about the Guides of divine religion because
remembering and mentioning about something a source of strengthening hearts and
success, achievement and supremacy on the front of Tauheed, Risalat and Wilayat.
It is aimed at highlighting what type of struggles they carried out in preaching
and spreading, and honoured the height by working hard in way of Allah.
Therefore, Prophet Musa Kaleemullah is being given commandment to get the
Ayyam-e-Illahi (Divine Days) remembered from his nation and divert their
attention towards this:
(Definitely, We had sent Musa with signs that he could bring his
nation from darkness towards enlightenment and get them remembered the Illahi
Days Surah Ibrahim).
Thus, Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya has the honour that it has never forgotten
the heroes of religion, Shariat and humanity and always highlighted their pious
seerat and character by observing their days. Today, the Tehreek is availing
that honour again on the occasion of Wiladat-e-Purnoor of Maula-e-Kainaat Hazrat
Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) that is being observed as Universal Jashan-e-Murtazvi
from 11 to 13 Rajab-ul-Murajjab.
On this occasion homage will be paid to him rather it would be made clear on the
whole world that one can get rid of difficulties by attaching himself with the
Daman-e-Ali. From amongst east, west, north and south, only Maula Ali (A.S.) has
achieved the singular honour of taking birth in Kaaba (House of Allah), that
Ali (A.S.) who is the symbol of greatness, piousness, heights, supremacy and
good traits. There is a saying of Khatmi Martabat (SAWW) that goes: Allah Has
blessed my brother Ali with those virtues and qualities that could not be count
even all human beings gather to do so. If anyone recounts his virtues in a
gathering with utmost belief then Allah will forgive his sins committed in the
past and to be committed in future.
The way Allah sent Prophets and Messengers for the welfare and correction of the
human beings and informed their benefits and losses so that the human being
could keep away from evils, similarly the same objectives were set for successor
of every prophet. Khatmi Martabat (SAWW) is the Seal of Prophets, his Shariat is
the last one for the protection of which Allah deputed holy personalities and
one of those great personalities is Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.).
Allah said in his Kalam-e-Paak (holy Quran) that
(Does a human being thinks that he has been left without a
leader and guide Surah Al-Qiyama Ayah 36).
He may do anything in line with his desire but a leader and guide has been
appointed for him. Therefore the Holy Prophet (SAWW) mentioned that leader and
guide at Khum-e-Ghadeer after praising Allah in these words:
(Ali is the Maula of those, I am the Maula of whom).
Hazrat Omer bin Khattab greeted him by saying
(Ya Ali, you have become our Maula also).
After Rasool (SAWW), Ali (A.S.) is the Aalam-un-Naas (Most
knowledgeable of all human beings), Ashja-un-Naas (most brave of all human
beings), and the biggest justice on which a saying of the Holy Prophet (SAWW)
stands witness, it goes:
He is the son of Abu Talib (A.S.) whose real name was Imran and
he was the real brother of Holy Prophets (SAWW) father Hazrat Abdullah. Hazrat
Alis (A.S.) mother was Fatima binte Asad bin Hashim bin Abd Munaaf, therefore,
Hazrat Ali (A.S.) is Najeeb-ut-Tarfain Hashmi as far as the Nasab is concerned.
His name Ali (A.S.) was selected by Allah, therefore, Khwarzmi writes that
Paighambar-e-Khuda (SAWW) said that when I reached Qaaba Qausain there came the
Voice of Allah: Oh, Muhammad! Give Salam to Ali (A.S.) from Our side and tell
him that I keep him friend, one who would keep Ali his friend his name has been
attached with My Name. I am Ali-yul-Azeem and he is Ali, I am Mahmood and you
are Muhammad.
His one name is Haider therefore when Marhab challenged the army of Islam on the
day of victory of Khyber and said I am the one who was named Marhab by my
mother. Maula Ali (A.S.) replied
(I am the one who was named Haider by my mother).
His another name is Asadullah Ghalib and his title is
Amir-ul-Momineen. When Gabriel called him with that title on the day of
Ghadeer-e-Khum, the Holy Prophet (SAWW) said:
Following him, Hazrat Omer ibne Khattab was first to pay Salam
to Ali by saying him Amir-ul-Momineen.
Muslim Ummah, irrespective of any Maktab or sect believes that Ali ibne Abi
Talib (A.S.) is the righteous Imam and on it a saying of the Holy Prophet stands
witness:
(Righteousness is with Ali A.S. and Ali A.S. is with
righteousness. Oh, Allah! Divert righteousness towards the direction Ali A.S.
moves).
In other words righteousness is also subservient to Imam-e-Barhaq Ali (A.S.). He
is that great Imam that there is an Ayah on his Wilayat that goes:
Another Ayah is on his being Nafs-e-Rasool (SAWW):
There is another Ayah on his Ismat and Taharat (cleanness and
chastity) that goes:
There is another Ayah on love and devotion with him as
Ajr-e-Risalat that goes:
With reference to Ahmed bin Hanbal when asked from the Khatmi
Martabat (SAWW) that:
he replied: Ali (A.S.), Fatima (S.A.), and their sons Hassan (A.S.)
and Hussain (A.S.). In line with the divine saying it has been proved that their
love and devotion is compulsory, therefore their subservience, following in
their footsteps and sincerity also becomes compulsory. Complete subservience and
sincerity could only be for a person who had been kept away from all small and
big sins, therefore, Allama ibne Hajr Asqalani has said that:
(Ali A.S. did not bow down his head before anyone except Allah
even for a while).
Alis (A.S.) pleasure is the Allahs pleasure on which Ayah 207 of Surah Baqarah
stands witness:
Mufassirin Ahle Sunnat Saalabi, Fakharuddin Raazi, Nizamuddin
Nishapuri and others wrote that this Ayah was sent in praise of Ali. He is
Kalmah-tul-Allah:
Prophet Adam (A.S.) prayed through him that in the name of
Muhammad (SAWW), Ali (A.S.), Fatima (S.A.), Hassan (A.S.), and Hussain (A.S.)
accept my dua.
There is a saying of the Paighambar-e-Akram (SAWW) that goes: If rivers become
ink, all trees become pen, earth and sky become pages and all Jinn and human
beings become writers, the ink would go dry, the pens would lose their nip and
pages would become short but the virtues of Ali would not lessen:
Ali (A.S.) says that by God my patched shoes are dearer to me than ruling over
the people like you but that through this rule I may straighten any
righteousness and root out any evil.
The objective of Amir-ul-Momineen Hazrat Ali (A.S.) was restoration of justice
and fair-play and rooting out oppression and brutality. That is why Ali (A.S.)
had thwarted the conspiracies of enemies of justice. English historian Karl
Loyal also writes about Ali that there is no option for us but to keep friend
with him, love with him because he was a great, brave and young man and from his
body emerges Maaroofat, piousness, and qualities and bravery uses to come out
from his heart. He was braver than even a strong lion but at the same time kept
a kind, pious heart imbibed with blessings, softness and concern.
There is a saying of Ali (A.S.) that goes: Do not invite anyone for war but if
others impose war on you then accept the war offer to defend yourself because
one who initiates war is an oppressor that ultimately kisses the ground and is
entangled with difficulties. Islam is an eternal religion and one of its
qualities is that it is the religion of peace and tranquillity; it has the
quality of resolving all issues with national spirit and clear arguments. Islam
does not consider initiation of war and conflict legal and declares the one who
initiates the same as an aggressor and oppressor who will ultimately kiss the
ground and is wiped out when oppression increases.
Like Islam stops its followers from war and conflict, similarly every Muslim is
bound to get up for defence against those who impose war because death in honour
is better than life in dishonour. Not getting up for self-defence is the sign of
humiliation, defame and defeat and a Momin never accepts defeat despite being
under the dagger or on the point of the spear. Recitation from Holy Quran and
Kalma-e-Haq continues on his tongue.
The international Taghoot first rooted out Afghanistan in the garb of September
11 incident, and is committing massacre in Iraq in the garb of chemical weapons
while blood of innocent Muslims is being shed in Kashmir and Palestine for the
last half a century. Hindus in South Asia have shattered peace while Zionists
have made the life of Muslims difficult in the Middle East. At present some
areas of the southern Syria are occupied by them, soil of Palestine and Lebanon
is under their feet, one month is going to complete of battering of Lebanon
along with Palestine, cities after cities, residential areas, airports, bridges,
roads have been destructed. What type of justice and fair-play it is? The whole
Lebanon has been given a bloodbath just to get two Jews released; loss of
billions of dollars is being reported. If Hindus and Zionists attack it is
considered as their right to defence but
Lakhs of Kashmiris, Palestinians and Lebanese are helpless and if they defend
themselves even then they are called terrorists. The rulers should take notice
of this situation. Arab League could not summon its summit yet. International
Conference has not openly condemned Israel while OIC meeting held on Thursday
could not give any strong line of action for future.
International colonial powers and their agents should keep in mind that durable
peace could only be restored when Israel goes back to its 1948 borders; Kashmir
and Palestine issues are resolved in line with the United Nations Resolutions
keeping to the desire of their respective people but Bush desires to change the
map of the region. Recent Israeli activities are continuation of New World
Order. Muslim rulers have lost their identity being slaves and are now
confronting with inferiority complex. The ruling elite are the biggest hurdle in
enforcement of religion and Shariat in the Islamic States who boast of following
western colonial powers blindly and dance on their tune, and follow the
principle of divide and rule. The same ruling elite identify and adopt qualities
of the west so as to destroy the Islamic identity and prolong their rule. There
are 57 Islamic States but unfortunately Hizbollah is alone in Lebanon, and there
is no one to help them despite the fact that Allah has made Muslim wealthy
through all types of wealth, own land, sky and sea routes, are self-reliant by
every means but there is lack of planning, unity, mutual cooperation and
forbearance thus one crisis after the other. By the Grace of God, Pakistan is an
atomic power. If the Muslim Ummah desires its survival then it should accept
Pakistans leadership, achieve right to veto, challenge UNO that if Kashmir and
Palestine issues are not resolved, if the allied forces are not driven out from
Afghanistan and Iraq and Israeli forces from Lebanon then all Muslim States
would not sit in the United Nations rather all Muslim and oppressed nations
would form a united forum and continue their struggle to achieve justice and
fair-play and root out oppression. As the Poet of the East said:
Similarly Iqbal also says:
Young men have now waked up. Our generation is the ray of hope. Young men of the
oppressed nations have now understood that the international chief of the
colonial powers desired only her supremacy. That is why movements have started
all along the world today that revolve around Karbala. The lesson of Karbala is
to be afraid only from Allah. Our future is bright
On the enlightened occasion of Wiladat Ba Saadat of Mushkil Kusha
Amir-ul-Momineen Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) and following the saying of
Maula Ali (A.S.)
we declare Israeli attack on Lebanon as a naked aggression, and
strongly condemn the colonial oppression against Afghanistan, Iraq, Kashmir and
Palestine and consider helping those in these States who are defending
themselves against those a must and declare those who fan biases and create any
type of discrimination as enemies of religion, motherland, Shariat and humanity.
