Baqirashramawaddat

SPECIAL MESSAGE OF AGHA SYED HAMID ALI SHAH MOOSAVI Qauid-e-Millat-e-Jafariya Pakistan on the Ist Day (1 Rajab) of ASHRA-E-MUWADDAT in connection with The Birth Anniversary of Hazrat Imam Muhammad Baqir (AS)

Brothers in Iman!

Knowledge, Ma’arfat and awareness are termed the very base and foundation of faith. Hazrat Adam Khalifatullah (AS) achieved honour and glory over Angels rather was characterized as “Masjood-e-Malaekah” (to whom angels prostrated) on the same base. It was the knowledge by dint of which messengers of Allah gained excellence in respect and dignity and got the status of nearness to Allah. But Amal-e-Saleh (good deed) is prerequisite besides knowledge thats why a scholar without deed is like a tree without fruit.

A hadith goes:

“Knowledge without deed is nuisance and deed without knowledge is darkness”

Our Aaimmah (peace of Allah be upon them) who by virtue of the saying of The Seal of Prophets Hazrat Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon him & his pure progeny) that:

“Our first one is Muhammad, our midst is Muhammad, our last one is Muhammad, and we all are Muhammad”
possessed the lofty and sublime status of knowledge and awareness. From amongst these is our fifth Imam Hazrat Muhammad Baqir (AS) who was disseminator of Uloom-e-Ambia and the true successor of the thinking of Nabi (peace of Allah be upon him & his pure progeny) and Ali (peace of Allah be upon him). Hazrat Imam Zainul Abideen (AS) was his respect worthy father and Umm-e-Abdillah the daughter of Imam Hassan (AS) was his respected mother.

It is sufficient for his great status that Holy prophet (peace of Allah be upon him & his pure progeny) sent him his Salam. Therefore, one day the holy companion of Prophet of Allah (peace of Allah be upon him & his pure progeny) Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (RA) visited Imam Baqir (AS), and said while kissing his hands: “One day I went to the respected court of Holy Prophet (peace of Allah be upon him & his pure progeny). He had his grandson Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) in his lap. He was kissing Imam (AS)’s holy lips with love and then said to me, O Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari my Hussain (AS) will have one son named as Ali (AS). On the Day of Resurrection a caller will call

‘Where is Ali Yubnul Hussain?’

He (AS) will standup and will get refuge close to Allah. He will have one son with the name ‘Muhammad (AS)’. O Jabir say my salam to him when you call on him”.

“From among Aaimmah Ahle Bayt (AS), Imam Abu Jafar was given the title “Baqir” because he ripping through the depths of knowledge accessed the bottom of the knowledge, knew its fine subtleties and secrets. Muslims have ijma on his excellence, dignity, brilliance and honour.” – (Yanabi ul mawaddah pg: 319 with reference to Faslul Khitab)

At present, world is dark. Darkness and obscurity is hanged on everywhere; oppression and tyranny are encamped. Now if the world of humanity wants light and brightness it has to adhere with Daman-e-Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon him & his pure progeny) in which lay the secret of getting rid of colonial powers and same is the guarantee of our felicity as well as crystal path of our salvation.

We, on the auspicious occasion of the holy birth anniversary of Hazrat Imam Muhammad Baqir (AS), reaffirm to promote the mission of Baqir ul Uloom (AS) with sincerity and honesty, extending heartiest felicitations and greetings to Imamul Asr Wazzaman (ATF), Maraje Uzzam and Islamic World.
