Youm E Taqwa 1427

SPECIAL MESSAGE OF Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi In connection with YOUM-E-TAQWA Marking the Shahadat of HAZRAT IMAM MUHAMMAD TAQI (A.S.) 29 Zeeqa’ad, 1427 HIJRA

Brethren in Iman & Islam!

The purpose of the life is worship, subservience and servitude to Allah while
the height of the human life is Zuhd-o-Taqwa (piousness) that is the outcome of
the qualities of human freedom and independence. That is our ideology and belief
the freedom of which is the first right of every human being.

Islam is that straight religion which is the highest imagination of life’s
existence. Society is the right path (Siraat-e-Mustaqeem) for human being; Allah
Has created human being freed and made him self-sufficient.

No force in the religion, but patience.

Maula-e-Kainaat Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) has declared that there are
four parts of patience i.e. fondness, fearfulness, hopefulness, and Zuhd-o-Taqwa
(piousness). Allah Has decorated the Khasan-e-Khuda (selected persons of Allah),
Anbia (prophets), and Mursaleen (messengers) with these qualities. From Adam (A.S.)
to Khatim (SAAW) they all had one deed in common i.e. restoration of justice and
fair-play, and rooting out oppression and brutality.

Therefore, Allah Says: O, people in Iman, become one who perform deeds for Allah
and give witness with justice and fair-play, beware, enmity with any nation may
not instigate you to give up justice and fair-play.

Exercise justice as it is nearer to Zuhd-o-Taqwa and fear from Allah. No doubt,
Allah Knows about your deeds, and Allah Has promised to the believers who
perform good deeds,

For them there is forgiveness and fair reward.

A great personality from amongst the inheritors of Mustafa (SAAW) and Murtaza (A.S.)
is Hazrat Imam Muhammad Taqi (A.S.) who was placed at the highest pedestal of
Zuhd-o-Taqwa for which he was decorated with the title of “Taqi”.

He was the ninth Imam of Wilayat chain and was the only son of Hazrat Imam Ali
Raza (A.S.). He was named Muhammad because he was the protector and defender of
Shariat-e-Muhammadi. He was brought up in the lap of his respected father and
his mother who was an embodiment of chastity. Imam Muhammad Taqi (A.S.) was
declared the spokesman of the great asset of Risalat and Wilayat, and kissed
Shahadat (martyrdom) in preaching and disseminating Allah’s religion. The
oppressed world tried to bow him down and keep away from the righteous path by
he, through his deeds, declared upon them that we would be tortured and jailed,
our body could be chained but neither our thoughts could be chained nor we could
be diverted from our objective.

Imam Muhammad Taqi’s (A.S.) life span is spread over only 25 years after which
he kissed Shahadat owing to poisonous effect. There is a saying of Amirul
Momineen Hazrat Ali (A.S.) that goes that a dignified and patient person would
ultimately succeed. Shahadat is also the greatest key to success, patience is
sour but its fruit is sweet that is why patience enjoys the status of most
important worship in Quran. Holy personalities, Anbia, Ahle Bait Atahaar (A.S.)
were all decorated with patience and the invitation towards the path of Allah is
accepted only through the people who exercise Taqwa.

Hard at heart, terrorism, bloodshed, attack on countries, Masalik and humanity
is not Taqwa rather Zuhd-o-Taqwa is fear of Allah in heart, and exercising good
moral. Surah Nehal says: That who would be better than the one who invite people
towards Allah, perform good deeds, avoid the evil and is from amongst the
subservient to Allah, and good and bad, evil and pious could not be equal
therefore bad should be returned with good and evil should be returned with
pious as it is the only way to restore a society based on justice and fair-play.

If this principle was followed then the whole world would not have confronted
with crises. Dearth of good indicates dearth of success. Today the whole world
is exercising fear the basic reason of which is violation of principles of Islam
and Mashaheer-e-Islam. Kashmir and Palestine problems are lying unresolved,
things are topsy-turvy in Lebanon, bloodshed is going on in Afghanistan and
Iraq, holy places in Najaf and Karbala, mosques, Madaris, Hussainiaat have been
destructed. The holy shrine of sons of Imam Taqi (A.S.), Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi (A.S.)
and Hazrat Imam Hassan Askari (A.S.) in Samarra were razed to ground but the
whole world is keeping quiet on it. Has any ruler, politician, leader issued any
human, Islamic, cultural message about it? No, not at all! Because, a true and
compact Muslim and human being practically follows the sayings of his Nabi (SAAW).
He has condemned those who dodge, who encroach upon the trust, who tease the
neighbours, who lashed any Muslim, one who slapped any Muslim, one who
encroached upon anyone’s right, one who threatened any Momin, one who labelled
fictitious charges against any male Momin or female Mominah, one who called
names against his Muslim brethren, one who looked towards a Momin to threaten
him, one who created any fake saying (Riwayat) to prove a Momin as an evil-doer.
If any religious-minded ruler or human being is aware of these things and
understands the same, then he could not take part in bloodshed, could not attack
the holy places, could not destruct his own country, and could not kill the
innocent human beings.

What is going on today is the result of wrong-doings of the Satanic powers, and
is the mischief and heinous conspiracy of the enemies of religion, Shariat and
humanity which needs urgent attention of Muslims.

On the sad occasion of Shahadat of Hazrat Imam Muhammad Taqi (A.S.), we present
our condolences to Khanwada-e-Muhammad (SAAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.), and the
followers of Nabi (SAAW) and Ali (A.S.).

We announce our commitment to continue our practical struggle with sincerity of
purpose to adopt the path of patience and forbearance and for restoration of
justice and fair-play.
