After Allah Almighty, Mercy for the Worlds Holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny) has been termed the most high, chosen and beloved personality
وما أرسلناك إلا رحمة اللعالمين
He was posted on the position of Kaba Qosayn whereto no human being has an access. He has been termed a cause of creation of the universe, objective of his apostleship has been called perfection of Makaram-e-Ikhlaq while his Uswah-e-Hasana a complete example for humanity:
لقد كان لكم في رسول الله أسوة حسنة
Allah called holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny)s obedience and following in his footsteps a proof and foundation for His love:
إن كنتم تحبون الله فاتبعوني يحببكم الله
Ergo, if anyone does not keep love for holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny), then Allah too, does not love that person. Only he bears the tag of a faithful and a Muslim who from his heart and soul is obedient to the holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny).
Such a greatest personality who is unparallel and matchless in the entire universe loves so much so to his respect worthy paternal uncle Hazrat Abu Talib (peace be upon him) that he called the year of his sad demise Aam-ul-Huzn or the Year of Grief, and expressed sorrow and grief on his death. Why should he havent done so??? It was Hazrat Abu Talib (peace be upon him) after Hazrat Abdul Muttalib (peace be upon him) who brought him up rather took full responsibility of his protection, therefore, Lord of the Worlds in the holy Quran characterized the support and succor of Abu Talib (peace be upon him) as His support and succor. Allah, The Exalted by adorning the holy head of Abu Talib (peace be upon him) with the crown of الم يجدك يتيما فاوى gave him a singular and lofty status in the ranks of men.
When the death time of holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny)s respected grandfather Hazrat Abdul Muttalib came nigh, he gathered all Bani Hashim and advised: O sons
! I am about to hand over my entrusted thing to one of you, and to whom I will consign that thing I enjoin and advise him to keep him dearest than his own life, riches and wealth
. Following this, Hazrat Abdul Muttalib (peace be upon him) asked Muhammad bin Abdellah (peace be upon him & his pure progeny): O my beloved son! Choose yourself from among your paternal uncles one for you so that I may advise him more regarding you. It is written that holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny) cast a look on all his paternal uncles, and then leaving the lap of his respected grandfather took seat in the lap of Hazrat Abu Talib (peace be upon him). (Kanouz-ul-Mojezaat)
Holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny)s this selection stands witness on the zenith and excellence of Hazrat Abu Talib (peace be upon him). Hazrat Abdul Muttalib (peace be upon him) selected Hazrat Abu Talib (peace be upon him), for he was rightly aware of his conditions and feelings, and for no one had the sentiments of love and kindness that were found in the heart of Hazrat Abu Talib (peace be upon him). It is crystal clear that sentiments of love, affection and kindness are proved most effective in rearing. On the same basis, Abdul Muttalib (peace be upon him) chose Hazrat Abu Talib (peace be upon him). Though Abu Talib (peace be upon him)s love and kindness was not in any ones need, but addition of Hazrat Abdul Muttalib (peace be upon him)s will gave him much beauty. There is no doubt that Hazrat Abu Talib (peace be upon him) was a great and illustrious personality who was trustworthy and sincere. (Crux from Saut-ul-Adalah)
Hazrat Abu Talib (peace be upon him) was the first to compose couplets for Holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny)s support and propagation of his preaching, that is why that holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny) felt too much pain on his death as if a high pillar went leveled, and he went deprived of succor of a great power. His this feeling shows that holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny) had the most firm spiritual relationship with his respected uncle. Hazrat Abu Talib (peace be upon him) invited Bani Abdul Muttalib and Bani Hashim for toeing the line of holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny) and said that their deliverance, blessing and success lay in it. (As-Seeratun Nabawiyah vol: 1)
And to give advice is an emblem of believers
و تواصوا بالحق و تواصوا بالصبر
O Bani Hashim! Obey and certify Muhammad (peace be upon him & his pure progeny), in it lay success and wisdom. Then he selected four personalities from among Bani Hashim for the succor of Holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny). They were his sons named Ali (peace be upon him), Abbas, Hamzah and Jafar. He advised them to defend him as an obligation and said: O my brave sons! May I be a ransom for you; be a shield for Muhammad (peace be upon him & his pure progeny), there should be such shinning swords in your hands that may prove beacon of light in the pitch dark night. (Al-Ghadir vol: 7)
Is this according to ones senses that Abu Talib (peace be upon him) who termed the message of Muhammad success, blessing and deliverance, and called people towards it, he himself was not a believer
? By God this is absurd, contrary to reason.
That is why holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny) called the year of his death Year of Grief. One may understand from this that how much love Holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny) had for his respected uncle. Does anyone love an infidel and polytheist, while Allah forbids loving polytheists and infidels?
ياايها الذين امنوا لا تتخذوا اليهود و النصارى أولياء بعضهم أولياء بعض و من يتولهم منكم فانه منهم
O believers! Take not Jews and
Christians as your friends. They are friends to each other. He who makes them
friend then he is from among them.
The holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny) being brought up in the lap of Abu Talib (peace be upon him), living under his protection, then bearing problems and difficulties in the Sheb-e-Abi Talib together and declaration of Abu Talibs (peace be upon him) death as year of Grief by the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny) is a proof that Hazrat Abu Talib (peace be upon him) was placed at the highest pedestal of faith.
Allah and the Paighambar-e-Islam (peace be upon him & his pure progeny) stop Ahle Islam to be friendly with Zionists and Christians but the Muslim rulers boast of being friends of them, as a result of which Islamic World is confronted with one problem or the other and entangled in problems from all around today. International chief of terrorists in collaboration with his allies committed naked aggression against Afghanistan under the cover of 11 September incident and in the garb of Usama and settled there after rooting out cities, towns, and settlements there. Later, she committed aggression against Iraq on the plea of weapons of mass destruction, massacred citizens through acts of oppression and brutality in the name of getting them rid of Saddam, maltreated prisoners of Abu Gharib Jail in a shameful manner, not even sparing old, children, young and women.
They did not stop here and went on showering bullets on holiest cities of Iraq that have been termed Shaair -Ullah and the respect of which is binding on mankind. These places include Najaf-e-Ashraf where the shrines of Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him), Hazrat Noah (peace be upon him) and caliph of Muslims Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (peace be upon him) exist and that is resort for all and in line with أنا مدينة العلم و علي بابها is the first university of Islamic world, and this exercise is still going on, Karbala-e-Mualla where shrine of the biggest personality of world of independence and freedom Hussain ibne Ali (peace be upon him) is resting along with his 72 companions and near and dear ones who had given a new lease of life to humanity by offering sacrifice of their lives for the dignity of mankind, and protection of religion and Shariat. The allied forces were showering bullets on the shrine of this Martyr of Humanity and massacre of Muslim is going on there. No holy place in Kazmain, Baghdad, Samra or elsewhere and Hoza Ilmia is out of their reach. Oppression and brutalities of allied forces are still going on rather they were also using bacterial and chemical weapons also. According to a report prepared by a western research organisation, the children being born in Iraq and Afghanistan owing to use of destructive weapons are suffering with various diseases and disabilities. The brutalities of the international terrorist, coming to surface, have shattered the whole world and protests are being launched against them.
If the deed of a few members of the armed forces could not be termed the deed of the whole army then one should remember that while condemning the New York-Washington incident, we had said that the deed of a terrorist could not be termed the deed of any nation or a State. Muslim Ummah that has also been termed Ummat-e-Wast is not being led by any terrorist organisation, therefore, Muslims have no concern with terrorists but at that time our words were ignored and today President Bush is repeating our words that deed of a few armymen could not reflect the deeds of the whole American nation. But, this concept could not be acceptable because the army that is fighting in Iraq is being led by President Bush and his allies. Therefore, they are all equally responsible for this crime rather all that is being done on their behest.
The treatment meted out to prisoners in Abu Gharib Jail has unveiled the claims of international chief of terrorists viz. protection of human rights and they have no answer to that and if they have a bit honour in them then they should resign immediately. Bush and his allies are responsible for the seed of hatred sown against the American nation and all these activities have unveiled the designs of colonial powers. Attacks on all holy shrines is the heinous conspiracy of Zionists.
The world organisations had declared well before the war that there are more than 10,000 holy places in Iraq, 10 of them are top on the list and that these places would not be targeted. This excuse could not be accepted that allied forces were unaware of the honour and dignity of these holy places. Al-Quds is within the reach of Zionists and they are playing with its honour and dignity, and in Iraq international chief of terrorists and his agents are doing the same. They are looking at the holy shrine of holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny) after that. We consider the dignity and honour of these holy places more than Arsh-e-Mualla. As the Poet of the East says:
Although the international chief of terrorists has excused for the time being but that were still continuing all tactics against the oppressed nations and the Islamic World. The inhuman policy of Bush indicates his dangerous designs and every coming moment is bringing his vicious designs to forth, life of Muslims and the poor is in doldrums in the western world, people are being shot dead in Thailand and Nigeria, Kashmir and Palestinian problems are still unresolved despite the presence of Resolutions and commitments of the United Nations and other organisations, but their fate has not yet been resolved rather some States are being termed axis of evil, there is terrorism in Saudi Arabia while sanctions have been imposed on Syria. There is no obstacle in way of these serious threats and they are free to destruct anyone anywhere but the Muslim Ummah is still in deep slumber while international Taghoot is united and a Confederation comprising 25 States has come into existence but the OIC comprising 57 Muslim States is keeping a criminal silence. Similarly, those States that write Islamic Republic with their name are under the obligation to condemn their oppression and lodge full protest against them on diplomatic level.
Pakistan is the citadel of Islam and an atomic power, therefore its government should play her role but it is unfortunate that the whole world has condemned the oppression against prisoners of Abu Gharib Jail but the Muslim heads of States are keeping a mum. We strongfully demand from all Muslim rulers including all international organisations to take notice of aggression against Iraq and Afghanistan, and take Bush and his allies to court for massacring Muslims, meting out shameless treatments to prisoners of Abu Gharib Jail, and carrying out aggression and destructing holy places in Najaf, Karbala, Kazmain, Baghdad and Samra, and get exemplary punishment for them fulfilling the norms of justice and fair-play and force them out of Afghanistan and Iraq, protective arrangement should be made for Maraje Uzzam, Hozaat-e-Ilmia, and holy places, get stopped aggression against the oppressed in Thailand and Nigeria and get the Kashmir and Palestine issues resolved in the light of the United Nations Resolutions keeping to the desire of their people.
The International Court of Justice take suo moto notice of colonial oppression and initiate action against them. If there is a bit of honour in the OIC then it should defend the dignity and honour of Muslims and summon an urgent session for their survival after forming a joint strategy. If no protective step was taken then it would be responsible for oppression against Muslims.
We also appeal the followers of Islam to recognise their friends and foes and keep in mind that solution to our problems does not lay in oppression and brutality but in patience and forbearance. Those who are creating differences amongst Muslims have nothing to do with Islam. Therefore, we would have to become a concrete wall against our combined enemy by proving our practical unity and brotherhood before them, Inshaallah the final victory would be ours.
Presenting condolence to the Chief of the holy family of Ahl-e-Bait (peace be upon them) Holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his pure progeny) on the occasion of Youm-ul-Huzn (Day of Grief), we reiterate our resolve to continue our struggle in support of the oppressed and against oppressors, dictators with honest and no relaxation and bargaining would be allowed in this connection.
