A Mehfil e Milad for ladies was held under the auspices of Anjuman Kaneezan e Imam AL ASR Wal Zaman (PBUH) at Shaebe Abi Talib (PBUH). While addressing to the Mehfil e Milad, Khatiba e Aale Nabi Syeda Binte Ali Moosavi said that because of being at the top of Zohd o Taqwa, Hazrat Imam Muhammad Taqi is renowned with the name Taqi. The holy Imam Muhammad Taqi is the ninth member of Imamat and eleventh of the fourteen infallibles who is the son of Hazrat Imam Ali Raza (PBUH), and he was named Muhammad on the name of his grandfather the holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH&HHP). Hazrat Imam Muhammad Taqi (PBUH) was born on 10th Rajab ul Murajab 195 Hijri. He was a the heir of the knowledge of the holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH&HHP), Hazrat Ali (PBUH) and Hazrat Fatima Zahra (PBUH) and scholar of their teachings in the matters of religion and related affairs. His name Taqi is taken from the Arabic word “Taqwa” which means abstinence. The holy Imam Muhammad Taqi (PBUH) was that great leader who guided the people towards the righteous path and his friends and foes both were convinced of his greatness. She said that one of the distinguishing qualities of these special people of Allah was their wisdom and knowledge, which was much higher than what the other people possessed. She said that Hazrat Imam Muhammad Taqi (PBUH) is amongst the greatest people of Bani Hashim who were the source of knowledge and graciousness. The tyrants of his era Mamoon Abbasi and Muatasim Abbasi could not deviate the holy Imam Muhammad Taqi (PBUH) from the righteous path. The holy Imam proved that he is the member of that great family of the holy Prophet (PBUH&HHP) who stand firm for the right, and never bow before evil even if it costs them with their lives. A statement of Hazrat Imam Muhammad Taqi (PBUH) goes as “whoever benefitted his faithful brother, he will get a house in heaven in return to the favour”.
