RAWALPINDI, August 4: As per the announcement of the Mukhtar Force Pakistan, Youm e Mukhtar e Aal e Muhammad was celebrated with religious zeal and passion of sacrifice for the protection of the beloved homeland. On this occasion the day was started with the recitation from the verses of Holy Quran in the mosques. Likewise the other cities of the country, mourning assemblies were held in the mosques and Imam Bargah of the twins cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Ulema and Zakireen highlighted the services of Mukhtar e Aal e Muhammad, the way he took revenge of the blood of the martyrs of Karbala and protected Islam.

The central mourning assembly was held in Rawalpindi at Ali Masjid under the auspice of Mukhtar Force which was addressed by the central spokesman of the TNFJ Allama Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi. While addressing Allama Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi paid tributes to the youths of Mukhtar Force who are protecting the signs attributed to Allah. He reiterated that for his noble cause, Mukhtar e Thaqfi not only crushed the basis of dictatorship and autocratic rule but also devastated them forever. Allama Qamar Haider Zaidi narrated the saying of the Quaid e Milat e Jaferiya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Moosavi that even today the enemies of Islam are afraid of Mukhtar e Thaqfi’s slogan “Ya Thara tal Hussain, Lab’baik Ya Hussain”. He said that the character of Mukhtar (RA) is a great lesson for the oppressed and destitute.

The chairman advisory council MFP, Chaudhri Abu Baidar Ali while addressing to the assembly said that history will hardly produce any other example of love and the payment of the reward of the Prophethood the way Mukhtar Thaqfi (RA) did. He stressed that the task which was carried out by Mukhtar (RA), no one in the entire history could do as Mukhtar highlighted the principles of Islam and the heirs of the Holy Quran. The burial of Mukhtar beside Muslim Bin Aqeel (PBUH) in the mosque of Kufa is the evidence that Mukhtar Thaqfi (RA) is the hero of the mission of Imam Hussain (PBUH) and if Muslim Bin Aqeel (PBUH) is the ambassador of Hussaniat, then Hazrat Mukhtar Thaqfi (RA) is the advocator of Hussaniat.

Abu Baidar Ali said that Mukhtar e Thaqfi (PBUH) took the revenge of those brutal atrocities which embarrassed the world of humanity. Mukhtar e Thaqfi (RA) established his objectives while acting upon the principles of the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) which were to help the oppressed and destitute. He said that this evidence is enough for the salvation of Mukhtar Ibne Abu Abaeda Thaqfi (RA) that he took the revenge of the blood of the grandson of the Holy Prophet, Hazrat Imam Hussain (PBUH), and paid the reward of the Prophethood.

Supreme commander Mukhtar Force Syed Amjid Hussain Naqvi while addressing to the gathering said that it is essential for the members of Mukhtar force that they make research on the personality of Mukhtar (RA), should read and write articles on the services of Mukhtar e Thaqfi (RA) and should arrange seminars and conferences to produce awareness about him and to remove misunderstanding created by the enemies of Islam about the great character of Mukhtar Thaqfi (RA). He said that on the day of Youm e Mukhtar e Aal e Muhammad we pledge that we must carry the Mission of Hazrat Mukhtar Thaqfi (RA) to the real defender of the blood of Imam Hussain, Imam e Zaman (PBUH) who is in occultation, and will elevate the principles of Islam and justice and will put the oppressor before the law.

Mufti Basim Abbas Zahri, Zakir Amjid Hussain Shah, Sardar Tariq Ahmed Jaffery and Moulana Shahzad Hussain Sindhi also addressed the assembly.
