SPECIAL MESSAGE OF AGHA SYED HAMID ALI SHAH MOOSAVI Quaid Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan on the occasion of Youm-ul Huzn (Day of Grief) in connection with Demise Anniversary of Umm-ul Momineen Hazrat Khadija-tul Kubra (S.A.) Ramazan 10

Where acme of obedience and devotion is piety and
abstinence
there only piousness has been declared the standard of
supremacy, excellence and honour.

The word ‘human being’ applies to man, woman, elder
and young all, therefore according to Ayah
human being has
been given the status of supremacy, while Prophets, Messengers, Auliaa and
righteous people are distinguished among all human beings. And in women world,
in line with a saying of the Seal of Prophets (SAW) which has been quoted by
Tafsir Kash’shaf and Tafsir Bezawi in explanation of last verse of Surah Tahrim:

Only four women achieved status of supremacy in
excellence, eminence and dignity namely Pharaoh’s wife Asiya bint-e-Mazahem (A.S.),
Mother of Jesus Maryam (A.S.), Khadija bint-e-Khawelad (A.S.) and Fatima bint-e-Muhammad
(A.S.).

The greatness of Hazrat Khadija binte Khawelad (S.A.) could be gauged from the
fact that Zaat-e-Parwardigaar considered her act as His own act therefore Allah
Says:

“We found you poor so We made you rich”.

Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) was considered exemplary as far
as wisdom, farsightedness, honour, dignity are concerned. She was richest of
them all and her trade caravans consisted of a long queue of camels. When she
became aware of the Holy Prophet (SAW), his truthfulness, trustworthiness, good
dealing and moral, she requested him to take her goods to Syria which he
accepted through his uncle Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) and set out for Syria along
with Hazrat Khadija’s (S.A.) slave Maisarah. When he came back to Makkah after
selling out goods, Maisarah told the tales of the journey to Hazrat Khadija (S.A.)
that how the clouds kept on protecting the Holy Prophet (SAW) and how much
profit he earned for her. Therefore, after listening to the virtues, merits,
miracles and deeds of the Holy Prophet (SAW), Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) sent a
message in his honour that she desires to perform Aqd (Nikah) with him owing to
his relationship, supremacy, trustworthiness, good dealing and truthworthiness.
Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) read the Nikah rites of the Holy Prophet (SAW) with
Hazrat Khadija (S.A.), 20 camels were given as Haq-e-Mehr.

The way Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) spent her life with Holy Prophet (SAW) as his
spouse is a great example for women at large. Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) not only
helped and supported the Holy Prophet (SAW) rather by sacrificing all she had
for the Khatmi Martabat (SAW) preached the lesson that mission of Tauheed is
dearest than all other things to her. The character of Ummul Momineen Hazrat
Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) is the beacon of light for women at large and the
oppressed world who sacrificed all her belongings for preaching of Islam.

If Hazrat Ali (A.S.) has the honour to be the first to offer his prayers behind
the Holy Prophet (SAW) amongst men then Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) earned this honour
from amongst women. The Holy Prophet (SAW) had declared the year of her death as
“Aam-ul Huzn” (Year of Grief).

When one wife (of the Holy Prophet) said something about Hazrat Khadija (S.A.),
the Holy Prophet (SAW) said: By God, I found no wife better than Khadija, she
gave faith in me at a time when people were non-Muslim, helped me at a time when
people teased me, gave me her wealth at a time when others deprived me. In short
he got offspring from her holy body that is an eternal reply to the enemy:

Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) extended full support to the Holy Prophet (SAW) in
preaching Islamic manifestoes. When she was in her last moment, she requested
the Rasool (SAW) saying that: I have spent a long period of my life in your
service, it is my desire that you support me on the D-Day and if there was any
slackness on my part regarding any of your right, then please forgive me.

There was another request of her through daughter Fatima (S.A.). Therefore,
following the instruction of her mother, Hazrat Zahra (S.A.) gave this message
to the Holy Prophet (SAW) that it is the desire of Madar-e-Garami that the
Chadar you used to take at the time of Wahi, give me as coffin so that I may
become the centre of blessings. The Holy Prophet (SAW) wept on hearing it and
gave that Chadar to the daughter for mother’s coffin. In the meantime, Hazrat
Gabriel Ameen came down with the Message of Allah that Allah Has sent Salam for
Khadija because she spent all her wealth in way of Allah. Allah Has said under
هل جزاء الإحسان إلا الإحسان that Khadija’s coffin is Our responsibility and it
has been brought from the heaven.

The Holy Prophet (SAW) stepped in the grave at the time of burial and lowered
her body into the grave with his pious hands. After the demise of Hazrat Khadija
(S.A.), the Holy Prophet (SAW) confronted with mountainous problems and his life
was made difficult. But he by facing all problems with patience taught this
lesson to the whole world that only endurance and forbearance should be
displayed in difficulties and hardships.

Whole humanity was confronted with one problem or the other today and motherland
Pakistan that came into being in the name of Islam is facing destruction as a
result of major earthquake. Being followers of the Holy Prophet (SAW), it is
binding on us to take part in relief operations to help out our brethren in
need. The government, opposition, States, Makatib, and religious, political,
social and welfare organisations have displayed national awareness on this
occasion that is laudable.

In the difficult moment where so many cities and dwellings have been washed out,
lakhs of people became homeless, uncountable lost their life, women became
widows and children became orphan, the government should complete the burial of
bodies first, provide temporary residence to homeless, provide food items,
accelerate relief operations in all affected areas rather provide protection to
those who are engaged in relief operation so that relief goods may reach the
deserving people with respect and honour.

The nation should seek forgiveness for their misdeeds and divert toward Allah
with sincerity of purpose. At present all helpless elders, boys and children are
the trust of the nation, therefore, being followers of the Sadiq and Ameen
Paighambar (SAW), it is our obligation to protect them.

We on this painful occasion of ‘Day of Grief’ while presenting condolences to
Khanwada-e-Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) and the whole Muslim Ummah
reiterate our resolve to give priority to the interests of Islam, Pakistan, and
its people over all other matters as in it lay our blessings, survival and
deliverance
