RAWALPINDI,
August 2: The Secretary General of
Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafaria Pakistan (TNFJ), Allama Raja
Basharat Hussain Imami, has announced that the Global Days of
Arbaeen-e-Hussaini, established by Quaid-e-Millat-e-Jafaria Agha
Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, will be observed from 18 to 20
Safar to commemorate the Chehlum of the Martyrs of Karbala, in
accordance with the announcement made by the Chief of
Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafaria Pakistan.
In a statement issued from the TNFJ Central Headquarters at Ali
Masjid, Allama Imami urged the government to make special
security arrangements across the country on 20 Safar-ul-Muzaffar
for the observance of Chehlum of the Martyrs of Karbala and
Arbaeen-e-Hussaini. He stated that the annual journey of
millions of pilgrims towards Karbala during Arbaeen-e-Hussaini
is a testament to devotion to Hussainiyat and a symbol of the
defeat of terrorism. He called upon the governmentے to provide
special security, similar to Ashura arrangements, for the major
Chehlum processions scheduled across Pakistan on Tuesday, 20
Safar-ul-Muzaffar, and to ensure the holding of all traditional
and licensed mourning processions and gatherings under the
Moosavi-Junejo Agreement of May 21, 1985.
He further stated that people from all schools of thought will
observe the Global Days of Arbaeen-e-Hussaini from 18 to 20
Safar to pay tribute to the unparalleled sacrifice of the Holy
Prophet's grandson. The observances will commence on Sunday.
Allama Basharat Hussain Imami said that the greatness of Imam
Ali al-Ridha, who embraced martyrdom in defence of the religion
of the Holy Prophet, remains deeply engraved in the hearts of
Muslims across the world. He expressed these views while
addressing a meeting of TNFJ and its affiliated departments on
Saturday, 17 Safar, on the occasion of the martyrdom anniversary
of Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha, marking the conclusion of the Ten
Days of the Captives of Karbala.
He recalled that, according to Quaid-e-Millat-e-Jafaria Agha
Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, celebrations of the birth
anniversaries of the Ahlul Bayt and mourning commemorations
paved the way for the creation of Pakistan and defeated British
oppression. He maintained that mourning is the most peaceful
form of protest by the oppressed, and that no religion, state,
or constitution has the right to deprive people of peaceful
protest.
He stressed that adherence to Hussainiyat is essential to
overcome Zionism and imperialism, adding that mourning stands
above all other causes and the grief of Imam Hussain surpasses
every other sorrow. He declared that neither their forefathers,
nor they themselves, nor future generations would ever bow
before oppression.
He further stated that the Code of Mourning issued by the Chief
of TNFJ, Allama Agha Syed Hussain Muqaddasi, will continue to be
implemented in full until 8 Rabi-ul-Awwal. He emphasized that
mourning gatherings and processions represent the peaceful
protest of the oppressed and would never be sacrificed for
political interests. He reaffirmed that the peaceful struggle
against oppression and brutality would continue in accordance
with the teachings of Quaid-e-Millat-e-Jafaria Agha Syed Hamid
Ali Shah Moosavi.
Following the conclusion of the Ten Days of the Captives of the
Household of the Holy Prophet, a mourning gathering was held at
Umm-ul-Baneen Waqf Imambargah, Jamia Al-Murtaza, G-9/4,
Islamabad, where Khateeba Shah-e-Mashriqain Apa Syeda Hussain
addressed the congregation and highlighted the virtues and
sufferings of Imam Ali al-Ridha. After the gathering, a symbolic
coffin procession was taken out, during which various mourning
groups presented elegies.
Meanwhile, at Ali Masjid, the Headquarters of Maktab-e-Tashayyu,
a mourning gathering organized by Syed Ziaf Haider was addressed
by Maulana Waqar Naqvi, Awwab Moosavi, Qasim Imami, and Ali Raza
Rizvi, who paid tribute through speeches and elegies. At the
Central Imambargah Hifazat Ali Shah in Bohar Bazaar, Rawalpindi,
a mourning gathering was addressed by Allama Syed Qamar Haider
Zaidi. A mourning gathering and coffin procession in connection
with the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ali al-Ridha also

supervision of Dost Muhammad Haideri and his family. |
