SPECIAL MESSAGE OF AGHA SYED HAMID ALI SHAH MOOSAVI Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Pakistan on begining of Wila-e-Muhammad (S) & Aal-e-Muhammad Week

Brethren in Islam!

From amongst Adyan wa Shara’e aalam (world religions and laws),
Islam considers “Wila” most paramount. In the holy Quran which claim is

ولا رطب ولا يابس إلا في كتاب مبين (الأنعام)

“And not anything green or dry, but it is
recorded in a clear Book”

this and its like words are used as noun for 124 times
and as verb for 112 times. Word “Wila” means presence of a thing by the side of
another thing without any distance. In this sense, this word is applied in the
meanings of nearness either it is external or internal, physical or spiritual
and hearty. On this basis all of its derivations are used in friendship,
support, love, mawaddat, guardianship and dominion because in all these there
exists a concept of closeness in some way. That’s why friendship, love and
mawaddat for the Selected Persons of Allah is called “Tawalla”.

Allah is Rahman and Raheem (The Beneficent, The Merciful) while
Khatam-ul-Mursaleen (Seal of Messengers) is Raoof-ur-Raheem (The Compassionate,
The Merciful), that is why he advised his followers to disseminate love and
brotherhood and always desires deliverance, success and good for them. Islam has
never asked to confront non-Muslims all the time and do not good with them.
Therefore, Allah says:

لا ينهاكم الله عن الذين لم يقاتلوكم في الدين ولم يخرجوكم من
دياركم أن تبروهم و تقسطوا إليهم إن الله يحب المقسطين (الممتحنة)

“Allah does not forbid you to be kind and equitable to those who have
neither made war against you on account of religion nor driven you from your
homes. Allah loves the equitable.”

There is no harm for a Muslim in treating non-Muslim well, however,
he should not accept the ‘Wila’ of non-Muslims.

Humanity-lovingness demands that every human being cares for future of progeny
of Prophet Adam (A.S.) as well as their betterment and prosperity. As far as a
Muslim is concerned, he naturally desires welfare of entire humanity. Ergo, the
same has been the practice and habit of Divine Representatives, Prophets,
Messengers, Auliya and Righteous Persons, and on the same basis they remained
confronting with the world of oppression, brutality and suppression.

The most superb from amongst the Selected Persons of Allah is the family of
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) the “Wila” (love and devotion)
of whom has been declared as Ajr-e-Risalat.

One of those personalities is Hazrat Zainab binte Ali (S.A.) who was an
embodiment of knowledge, sincerity, religion and Shariah. Syeda Zainab (S.A)
possessed great honour and dignity in Khanwad-e-Ahle Bait-e-Athar (A.S.), when
she used to visit the holy grave of Prophet (SAW) in the night, she was
accompanied by Shahzada Hassan Sabz-Qaba (A.S.) on her right, Syed-ush-Shuhada
Imam Hussain (A.S.) on her left, and father Ali (A.S.) ahead of her. On reaching
near the holy grave, Ali (A.S.) used to turn off the lamps. Once Imam Hassan (A.S.)
asked: Father! Why you do so. He replied: I fear that lest anyone’s look cast on
your sister Zainab-e-Kubra (S.A.).

When Zainab (S.A.) used to come to Hazrat Ali (A.S.), he used to stand up in her
respect and make her sit in his place giving her too much respect. And why he
would not respect her? She was Zain Ab (Adornment of Father) and keeper and
protector of his secrets. She is Sharikat-ul-Hussain. Hussain (A.S.) saved
religion and Shariah by sacrificing his 72 near and dear ones while Zainab (S.A.),
through her heart-rending addresses in the voice of her father in the streets of
Kufa and Syria and in the courts of Yazid and Ibne Ziad, made a name for
Hussainiyyat, shattering the Yazidiyyat unveiled the conspiracies of Banu
Umayyad rather told the world for ever that only Hussainiyyat is Zindabad, and
Yazidiyyat and tyranny in every era and in every shape is Murdabad.

Today the world of humanity is facing oppression and barbarism of colonialism (Yazidiyyat),
entire world is bleeding, there is a big cyclone of terrorism in Palestine,
Kashmir, Afghanistan, and Iraq in the name of rooting out terrorism and to stop
it, there is need to adopt Zainabi role practically following in the footsteps
of Khanwada-e-Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.).

Foot dust of
Mawaliyaan-e-Muhammad (SAW) & Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.),
