On the call of the TNFJ, Matami protest processions brought out  across Pakistan to mark the martyrdom anniversary of Ameer ul Momineen Hazrat Ali (AS)

ISLAMABAD, May 5: Martyrdom anniversary of the Lion of God, Ameer ul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibn-e-Abi Talib (A.S) was commemorated across Pakistan besides the rest of the world with religious respect and dignity. Despite government’s ban on processions, Matami protest processions brought out in all big and small cities and towns of Pakistan on the call of Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi which also included Taboot, Zuljanah, and Alam e Ghazi Abbas (A.S). Azadars offered condolences of the martyr of Masjid-e-Kufa Hazrat Ali al Murtaza through Noha Khwani, Matam and Zanjeer Zani o Qama Zani. Heart rending views of Ishq e Risalat o Ahl e Bait (A.S) were seen on this occasion. People belonging to Ahl e Sunnah school of thought had set up sabeels of drinking water and distributed Niaz demonstrating the true spirit of Shia-Sunni unity. Central mourning procession led by Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, brought out from Headquarter Maktab e Tashayyo Ali Masjid which was participated by thousands of Azadars. On this occasion, while talking to the representatives of media and Azadars, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that Ali ibn-e-Abi Talib (A.S) is a masterpiece of the holy Prophet (PBUH&HP). The slogan of Labbaik Ya Rasul Allah was first raised by Ali ibn-e-Abi Talib (A.S) during Dawat e Zulasheerah. Government must demonstrate Haidery courage against the resolution of European Union. Sunnah of Sheb e Abi Talib (A.S) must be adopted for the respect and honor of religion and motherland. A meeting of OIC must be summoned to reject European Union’s resolution. Imran Khan is a good man however, he himself accepted that he made many mistakes. Banning processions was also a big mistake. If the honor of holy Prophet (PBUH&HP) gets challenged, protests will certainly commence. Similarly, protest will also be held on the martyrdom anniversary of Ameer ul Mominee. Processions of Azadari are a protest which is according to the Sunnah of the holye Prophet (PBUH&HP) and our fundamental right. There exists no SOP in markets, elections and sessions of assemblies are being held and the lock down cannot be seen anywhere then why was Azadari has been banned? Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that when two teeth of the holy Prophet (PBUH&HP) broke during Ghazwa e Ohad, Hazrat Awais Qarni broke all of his teeth while mourning for holy Prophet’s severed teeth. No one raised any objection or called it a Bida’at. Azadari is the way to express love for the holy Prophet’s (PBUH&HP) family where even the angels descend to get cured. Processions of Meelad ul Nabi and Azadari are the places of cure. Islamiyan e Aalam must keep knocking in the door of Almighty Allah as it will certainly open to provide cure to Corona pandemic. We do not bother anyone however, we are entitled to fight for our rights. Ask President Arif Alvi and the government that why didn’t they consult Tehreek e Nifaz e Fiqah Jafariya before taking decisions about processions? Tehreek e Nifaz e Fiqah Jafariya is the only representative of Shias however, government only consult those who express submission to everything and only follow the orders with complete obedience. Followers of Riasat e Medina must adopt the lessons of Meesaq e Medina. While mentioning qualities of Hazrat Ali ibn-e-Abi Talib (A.S), Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that the holy Prophet (PBUH&HP) used to make Ali (A.S) sleep alongside, make him eat food after chewing it first, the holy Prophet (PBUH&HP) brought up Ali ibn-e-Abi Talib (A.S). Ali (A.S) is the only personality who has the honor of listening the voice of Wahi (revelation) inside the cave of Hira. Ali ibn-e-Abi Talib (A.S) was the first one to endorse Islam. During the night of Hijrah, Ali (A.S) fearlessly slept in place of the holy Prophet (PBUH&HP), all Fatimiyat (honorable ladies of Prophet’s family) as well as the deposits were handed over to Maula Ali (A.S). Ali (A.S) has been the hero of Islam in all battles including Badar, Ohad, Khandaq, Hunain, Khayber. Islam was saved because of Ali’s (A.S) sword and courage. During the battle of Khandaq, while sending Ali (A.S) to fight against Umer ibn-e-Abd e Wad, the holy Prophet (PBUH&HP) had said that “All of the faith is going to fight against Complete Kufr”. Holy Prophet (PBUH&HP) declared a single strike of Ali (A.S) higher than the worship of both worlds. Hence, someone whose one strike is better than both worlds why wouldn’t he himself be better and higher than both worlds? When the fort of Khayber could not be occupied, the holy Prophet (PBUH&HP) announced that now I will handover the flag to the one who is a man and then handed over the flag to Hazrat Ali Ibn-e-Abi Talib (A.S). While returning from Hujja tul Wida, holy Prophet (PBUH&HP) raise Ali’s (A.S) hand and announced that Ali (A.S) is the Maula of all that I have been the Maula of. Therefore, just like the holy Prophet (PBUH&HP), Ali has been the Maula of everyone including the prophets right from Adam to Jesus. Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi announced on the occasion that Jashan e Nazool e Quran and Youm ul Quds Himayat e Mazloomeen will be commemorated during last Ashra of Ramadan while Youm e Inhidam e Jannat al Baqi will be held on 8^th of Shawal. He demanded for foolproof security during Eid ul Fitar. Meanwhile according to the information received in Headquarter Maktab e Tashayyo, mourning processions brought out at Mohanpura Rawalpindi, G-6/2 Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Quetta, Peshawar, Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan, Gujrat, Kohat, Mardan, Laki Marwat, D.I.Khan, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Sukkur, Dadu, Haiderabad in which Shia Sunni azadars participated to express unmatchable love and affection for holy Prophet’s family and demonstrate unity and solidarity with each other.
