Saudi Arabia should refrain from hanging the senior religious scholar Ayatullah Al Sheikh Baqir al Namar – Hamid Moosavi ISLAMABAD, August 13: The Chief Patron of Supreme Shia Ulama Board and Tehreek e Nafaz e Fiqah Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has appealed to the state of Saudi Arabia to refrain from hanging the senior religious scholar Ayatullah Al Sheikh Baqir al Namar and demonstrate moderation and reasonableness by setting the Ayatullah al Sheikh Baqir Alnamar free. All schools of thought must be free to spend their lives in accordance with their respective ideologies. He said that any extremist action against Ayatullah Namar would strengthen the world of Kufr (non-believers). He expressed this in his letter to the Khadim al Harmain al Shareefen Sheikh Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz. According to the details issued from the Head Quarter of Maktab e Tashayyo, Agha Moosavi said that Ayatullah Al Sheikh Baqir al Namar is serving as a Qazi (Judge) in Saudi Arabia and enjoys an esteemed status among the several religious segments of the society therefore, hanging him may cause unrest in the country. He said that Muslim states of Middle east are already wounded by the Israeli aggression, while the terrorist activities of ISIS (Daaish) has further made them victims of the Zionist conspiracies therefore, one must not allow the colonial powers to create division among Muslims. Hence, in a situation where international colonial powers are bent upon isolating Muslim states and interfering in several Muslim countries, targeting them one after the other, such steps can benefit the colonial powers. Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that if this continues, then punishing those against the government’s ideologies will start in every country which is contrary to the teachings of Islam and will also cause concerns across the world. Meanwhile, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi stressed upon the international and human rights organizations to raise their voice against this matter and stop the Saudi government from giving punishments to its opponents and politicians. It must be noted that the Saudo s author of the book “Momin e Quresh” famous religious scholar Sheikh Abdullah Al Khaneezi was also sentenced to death but due to the international protests and more than 500,000 telegrams after which Saudi government had to take back its orders.
