ISLAMABAD, June 28: The Youm-e-Shahadat of Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) was observed throughout the country with religious spirit, devotion and respect Sunday. Taboot processions were taken out from all small and big cities, towns and villages and Majalis-e-Aza were held at mosques and Imambargahs addressed by Ulema Karam, Waizeen and Zakireen who highlighted the seerat of Amirul Momineen in detail in their address. The main Taboot procession in the twin cities of Rawalpindi-Islamabad was taken out from Mohanpura in which Patron-in-Chief of Supreme Shia Ulema Board and chief of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi participated in the procession, performed Ziarat and took part in Matamdari. He was accompanied with Ulema Karam and elite.

Agha Moosavi while talking to media persons on the occasion said that according to a saying of the Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW) Ali (A.S.) is biggest Zahid, the bravest and the best Qazi and Judge. The scarcity of justice has turned the world into hell. The implementation of the decisions made by Hazrat Ali (A.S.) are the key to all crises confronted by the humanity. He said the impression that only Shias and Sunnis are being killed as a result of terrorism is wrong as the target of terrorists is Islam and Pakistan. He said by the grace of God there is no Maslaki conflict in Pakistan, as existence of Pakistan is the proof of Shia-Sunni brotherhood. He said we share our happiness and grief and we shall not allow any Shia-Sunni conflict to happen. Quetta blast, kidnapping of Sindh High Court Chief Justice’s son, shooting the Madah-e-Rasool (SAAW) and Ahle Bait (A.S.) Amjad Sabri in the month of Allah are a challenge for the State. 

The TNFJ chief said that the situation demands that we should lessen the enemies and make more friends. Unfortunately, he added, Pakistan’s foreign policy is going in reverse gear that had made Pakistan stand alone in the comity of nations. The terrorists ran away in Operation Zarb-e-Azb were involved in murders and arson, government is not supporting the Army in rooting out terrorism, the facilitators of terrorists are present in Islamabad and are creating trouble for the nation; why operation is not being carried out against them? He said the operation should be extended to the whole country including Punjab, rural Sindh, and KPK. Peace would not prevail by begging it from terrorists but the rulers will have to exercise powers with sincerity of purpose. Pakistan, he said, is confronted with unworthy politicians who keep their personal and party interests supreme over that of the country and the nation. He advised the government to spend its energies in supporting the Pakistan’s Armed Forces instead to overcoming the political opponents as Pakistan’s future is subject to the success of the Pakistan’s Armed Forces.

Agha Moosavi said Pakistan is being targeted on the basis of Islam. He said had Ziaul Haq not became the facilitator of satanic powers then terrorists would never had made their abode in Pakistan. He made it clear that Operation Zarb-e-Azb is going on successfully while there are defects in implementation of National Action Plan. He said the banned parties are working openly and their statements are carried in bold headings by newspapers while they are often seen sitting at the electronic media and at the talk shows. He demanded that noose may be tightened around the banned parties. He said they will express solidarity with all oppressed on the Jumatul Widah Youm Al-Quds including the oppressed people of Palestine and Kashmir. He lamented that Muslim States are not ready to consider Kashmir as an issue of Muslims. He said the attack on the shrine of the Nawasi-e-Rasool (SAAW) is the sign of Islam’s degeneration. 

The TNFJ chief said their hearts are bleeding with the attacks on holy shrines of the Mashaheer-e-Islam including Hazrat Ammar Yasir, Hazrat Khalid Bin Waleed, Hazrat Hijr Bin Adi, Khwaja Owais Qarni, and Hazrat Imam Abu Hanifa. The razing to ground of holy shrines in Jannatul Baqee is the insult to Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW), Sahaba (R.A.), Ahle Bait (A.S.) and Ummahatul Momineen (R.A.). The thinking of razing the shrines to ground was created by those powers that have made the religion and Shariat their shield for their own protection while the Ahle Bait (A.S.) preached the lesson of saving Islam instead of saving them and became the shield of Islam by sacrificing their lives. 

Agha Moosavi said they will display their practical love and devotion to Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW), Sahaba (R.A.), Ahle Bait (A.S.), and Ummahatul Momineen (R.A.) by raising their voice for restoring the dignity of holy shrines of Mashaheer-e-Islam by observing Youm Inhidam-e-Jannatul Baqee on 8th Shawal and will make it clear on the world that no power on earth can create rift among Shias and Sunnis. Like Pakistan was created jointly by all Shia-Sunni Makatib, similarly they will protect the dignity of Pakistan and Islam becoming one. 

Meanwhile, the procession in which over a dozen Matmi Halqas from Rawalpindi Region and thousands of mourners participated terminated after reaching Imambargah Col. Maqbool Hussain at Sehr time after marching through Fawwara Chowk and Trunk Bazar. Azadari Camp was installed at Kashmiri Bazar by Mukhtar Students Organisation, Mukhtar Generation Rawalpindi where Sabeel was arranged for participants of the procession. Ibrahim Scouts provided first aid to those who performed zanjeer-zani at the first aid camp installed by them.

Meanwhile, according to reports reaching the headquarters of the Maktab-e-Tasheyyo, Shahdat-e-Ali Majalis were held and Taboot processions were taken out from all small and big cities and towns of the country in which heavy seena-zani, zanjeer-zani and qama-zani was witnessed. Special prays were offered for an end to terrorism and for the success of the Operation Zarb-e-Azb on the occasion.
