Martyrdom anniversary of Fatima Zehra (S.A.) was observed with religious spirit, devotion and respect

ISLAMABAD, March 25: The Youm-e-Shahadat of Khatoon-e-Jannat Hazrat Fatima Zehra (S.A.) was observed with religious spirit, devotion and respect on Tuesday. The Patron-in-Chief of Supreme Shia Ulema Board and chief of the Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi addressing the concluding session of the International Ashra Aza-e-Fatimia here at Al-Murtaza declaring the Khatoon-e-Jannat Hazrat Fatima Zehra (S.A.) an Islamic symbol of dignity and respect of women said any religion and society is unable to present such an example, and the slogan of freedom of women given by the west is a farce the objective of which is to degrade and insult woman. He advised women at large to follow the Seerat of Fatima Zehra (S.A.) for achievement of their place, respect and rights.

Agha Moosavi said that 23 March Parade of the Pakistan’s Armed Forces has inculcated a new enthusiasm and spirit in the nation and the policies of Gen. Raheel Sharif have won the hearts of the nation. He said had Sha’air Allah and Nabavi signs in Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moallah were protected then the holy shrines of the Anbia Karam (A.S.), Tabaeen (R.A.) and Taba-Tabaeen (R.A.) and Aulia Karam (R.A.) were not destructed in Iraq, Syria, Bahrain, Libya and Pakistan. He said no example can be found of Hazrat Fatima’s (S.A.) love with Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW) who could not bear his separation from the world even for a few months and met him in the heavens as predicted by the Holy Prophet (SAAW).

The TNFJ chief said the attitude of the international organisations with Muslims is Hippocratic; if Muslims demand independence and rights of any of the area including Kashmir and Palestine in a non-Muslim country they are termed terrorists and extremists while any such demand from non-Muslims in a Muslim country make all international organisations including the United Nations stand up for them as has been done for Mashriqi Taimoor and Sudan. He said Pakistan is being punished for being the champion of Islam and being an atomic power. He said the Operation Zarb-e-Azb is going on and the enemy is utilizing all their energy to thwart it. In such a situation, he added, we all are under the obligation to come out from our shackles of personal and party interests and recognize our internal and external enemies and work for the integrity of the nation and the country and for the supremacy of the Islamic World.

Agha Moosavi said that the dignity and honour given to woman in Islam is courtesy Hazrat Fatima Zehra (S.A.) because Islam presented her as a symbol of women’s dignity. He said the Holy Prophet (SAAW) told Hazrat Fatima Zehra (S.A.) that “Allah Has showered you with the biggest blessing; father Muhammad (SAAW) like me, husband like Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.), and sons like Hassan (A.S.) and Hussain (A.S.). When angels will ask you in the grave who is your Rasool (SAAW), you will tell them my father; and when they will ask about your Imam, you will tell them my husband Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.).”

The TNFJ chief said that there is a saying of Hazrat Fatima Zehra (S.A.) that “Baba, after you I had to undergo so much distress that if these were undergone by days they would have turned into nights. Grief is my partner and tears are the extinguishers of flames of my anxiousness.” He said the Khatoon-e-Jannat used to sit on the Hazoor’s (SAAW) shrine under a tree to shed out tears and when that tree was cut down, then she used to remember her father Baba Rasool (SAAW) sitting in harsh sunshine along with Imam Hassan (A.S.) and Imam Hussain (A.S.). Keeping that in view Hazrat Ali (A.S.) had got constructed a room for her that is called Bait Al-Huzn, in other words it was the first Imambargah and Aza Khana.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that the honour enjoyed by Fatima (S.A.) Binte Rasool (SAAW) in the Islamic society was not enjoyed by anyone else. She was the only memorial of the Rasool (SAAW). Rasool (SAAW) used to stand up in her honour when she comes, and kiss her hands. She was the interpretation of Ayah-e-Tatheer of Holy Quran, Ayah-e-Mobahila of Surah Aal-e-Imran. She was the only woman who was taken along by the Rasool (SAAW) when he went for Mobahila with Christians and thus Rasool (SAAW) emerged victorious. He said the Muslim Ummah can achieve victory and success in every field by following in the footsteps of the Mashaheer-e-Islam even today.

(PBUH & HHP): Peace be upon him and on his holy progeny

(PBUH): Peace be upon him/her

(PBUT): Peace be upon them
