MESSAGE OF

Quaid e Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Mousavi

in connection with

Wisal of Negehban-e-Risalat Syed Al-Batha Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.)

February 28-March 4, 2011

 

(Life is the name of belief and struggle). Belief means making a strong knot and strongest commitment. It is related to a human being’s inner soul and heart. In other words, belief means that thinking, ideology, and image is inculcated in the human heart and penetrates his minds so profusely that he remains attached with this strong belief and ideology for rest of his life. Belief is like a tree’s seed. That is why in actual, belief is the central point of our decisions and intentions, and human feelings are ruled by belief and a human being gets mind-food from the same belief owing to which the deeds of like-minded people become similar. The books on morality say that mutual sympathy amongst people is for one of the six reasons. These reasons are called Awatif in the world of morality. These are: 1. Pedigree nearness and relationship; 2. Reasonal nearness (husband and wife); 3. Patriotism; 4. Humanity; 5. Nationality; 6. Ideology.

            Amongst all these Awatif, Ideology could be called belief that undermines all other Awatif. The Rasool (SAAW) gave up Pedigree nearness i.e. Abu Lehab, Hazrat Noah (A.S.) gave up Reasonal nearness. When Pakistan was achieved, uncountable Muslims gave up their Nationality for the sake of belief and ideology to come to Pakistan.

            The question arises that if Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) and the Rasool (SAAW) were not on the same belief, then why Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) bore all problems in Shoeb-e-Abi Talib and every difficulty inflicted on him by atheist Quraish? Muslims aside, even any atheist could not point a finger on Abu Talib’s (A.S.) sympathy, selflessness, companionship and love with the Rasool (SAAW). This situation is a clear-cut proof that Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) was not only Sahib-e-Iman but Kamil al-Iman and his son Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) enjoyed the status of Kull-e-Iman.

            It is our challenge that Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) never complained to the Rasool (SAAW) that why you curse our gods? Like Khaleel-e-Khuda Hazrat Ibrahim’s uncle had complained to Hazrat Ibrahi. According to Seerat-e-Nabvia’s border Seerat-e-Halbia, Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.), however, conveyed the complaint of Mushrikeen to the Rasool (SAAW) that Mushrikeen say (Ya, Rasool Allah! Mushrikeen desire that you do not curse their gods). Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) did not say (that do not curse our gods).

            On page 89, Edition-1 of Seerat Ibne Hisham, it is stated that when the Rasool (SAAW) heard the Mushrikeen’s complaint through Abu Talib’s (A.S.) tongue, he replied in a settled voice: My elder uncle, if they put the sun on my right hand and the moon on the left and demand from me not to preach Islam, by God! I will never give up the job for which I have been appointed by Allah. When the Rasool’s (SAAW) uncle found him so firm, he said: Go ahead, carry on your mission with avidity. No one could cause you any harm till I am alive. (Seerat Ibne Hisham).

            Had Abu Talib (A.S.) been a non-Muslim, he would not have encouraged the Rasool (SAAW) in these words. Study the history from Habeel-o-Qabeel to-date, a person; whether his belief is correct or incorrect does everything he can for his belief. The following couplets of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) could help know his belief and ideology:

(Oh, Allah’s Prophet, you have called me towards Islam. I am sure you are truthful in your invitation. You are already Sadiq and Ameen)

(It is my faith that the religion of Muhammad SAAW is best of all other religions)

(Then throwing a challenge to the atheist, said) By God, Oh, Muhammad SAAW, till Abu Talib A.S. is alive the atheist world, even they all unite, could not cause any harm to you)

            Hazrat Abu Talib’s was hiding his faith in the manner like Momin Aal-e-Pharaoh supported and protected Hazrat Musa (A.S.) by hiding their faith.

(Said, Momin Aal-e-Pharaoh who was hiding his faith)

            What a pity that Momin Aal-e-Pharaoh could be termed Sahib-e-Iman by hiding his faith and Abu Talib (A.S.) who kept the atheists in check and was helping out the Rasool (SAAW) from all problems and difficulties by hiding his faith, could not be called Momin or a Muslim?

            Banu Ummaya are responsible for all this situation who changed khalifate into malookiyyat, prepared fake sayings and ahadees to humiliate Rasool (SAAW) and Aal-e-Rasool (A.S.) and disseminated the same all around so as to bring the Rasool’s (SAAW) forefather with those of their forefathers. Muslims are still paying for the Banu Ummaya’s mischievous attitude. Amir-e-Shaam in a letter addressed to Maula-e-Kainaat Hazrat Ali Al-Murtaza (A.S.) wrote . In reply, Maula-e-Kainaat said it is correct, but:

(Your Jadd Ummaya is not like my Jadd Hashim. Your grandfather Ahrab is not like my grandfather Abdul Muttalib (A.S.) and your father Abu Sufyan is not like my father Abu Talib (A.S.)

            Maula-e-Kainaat (A.S.) is saying that your forefathers were Mushrik while that of mine were Muwahid and Momin (Nehjul Balaghah). Did in reply, Amir-e-Shaam said that your father was a Mushrik?

            Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) was already Muwahid before the Rasool (SAAW) announced his Prophethood. And on it the Khutba-e-Nikah delivered by Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) for the Rasool (SAAW) and Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) stands witness to his faith that is present in the most biased historian Muhammad Khizri’s books ‘Noorul Yaqeen’ along with other books.

            The forefathers of Nabi (SAAW) and Ali (A.S.) from Abu Talib (A.S.) and Abdullah (A.S.) to top were all Muwahideen and Momineen on which the text of Seerat-e-Nabavia stands witness that is a saying of Imam-ul-Mushkakeen Fakharuddin Razi:

(The Rasool SAAW said that I kept on shifting from Tahireen-e-Aslaab to Tahira-e-Irhaam. Allah Says that Mushrikeen are unpure, thus it is binding that there should be no Mushrik or Mushrika amongst the forefathers of the Rasool SAAW. Seerat-e-Halbia, page 61)

            The mother of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) and Hazrat Abdullah (A.S.) was the same while other brothers were from different wombs. Therefore, the Sahib-e-Seerat states that

(Seerat-e-Nabavia, border Seerat-e-Halbia)

(When Allah decided to shift his [Prophet] Noor from his grandfather Abdul Muttalib A.S., he married Fatima binte Umru bin Aayaz bin Imran bin Makhzoo from whom Hazrat Abu Talib A.S. and Hazrat Abdullah A.S. were born)

            Ibne Abi Al-Hadeed Shahrah writes in Nehjul Balaghah that

(Hazrat Abu Bakr said that Hazrat Abu Talib A.S. did not breathe his last until he recited Kalma-e-Tauheed and Risalat)

(Sharah Nehjul Balaghah, Edition-4, page 128)

(Sahib-e-Sharah Nehjul Balaghah says that after the Wafaat of Abu Talib (A.S.), Wahi comes that your Nasir [helper] has passed away, therefore, migrate from here. Muslims have stated a famous hadees from Rasool SAAW that Islam could not be restored had there no wealth of Khadija S.A., no support of Abu Talib A.S. and no sword of Ali A.S.)

            That is why the Rasool (A.S.) declared the year of Hazrat Abu Talib’s (A.S.) and Hazrat Khadija’s (S.A.) Wafaat as Aam Al-Huzn. Had Abu Talib (A.S.) been an atheist that it is beyond sense that under , the Rasool (SAAW) would have turned the year of his Wafaat as the year of mourning.

            It is written in Tabqaat Ibne Saad that in the whole Arab, none of offspring was like that of Abdul Muttalib (A.S.) and there was no gentleman, Najeeb, Jaseem, Wajih, beautiful, Buland and Roshan-Jabeen like Abu Talib (A.S.) in the world. Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) had a good moral, Faheem, Burdbar, Sakhi, Ameen, Nukta-Daan, exemplary writer and poet, Fasih-ul-Bian, Saqi-e-Hujjaj, extremely powerful, Ba Ruab-o-Dubdaba, and Jah-o-Jalal like Hazrat Abdul Muttalib (A.S.). That is why people used to call him Shaikh Al-Batha like they used to call Hazrat Muttalib (A.S.) and used to contact him whenever they are in trouble. His decision was considered final. Masnad was used to lay for Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) like they used to do for his father and Quraish-e-Makkah recognised him as their Sardar and no personality had the courage to challenge his decisions. In addition to Banu Hashim Bani Abdul Muttalib, the whole Arab world used to give him full respect.

            Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) says that I heard from Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) that when Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) was born to Hazrat Amnah Binte Wahab, Hazrat Abdul Muttalib (A.S.) came to him. Took Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) and kissed him. Then he put him in the lap of Abu Talib (A.S.) saying, I am handing over this trust (Amanat) to you. (my son enjoys big status). Then he ordered Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S) for sacrifice. The people of Makkah enjoyed the treat of camel and goat meat for three days. Then camels were sacrificed in all pathways of Makkah. In addition to human beings, the birds and other animals also participated in this feast. (Dalail Al-Nabuwwat, Edition-1, page 41).

            Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) by hosting the feast for everyone and even to birds and animals on the occasion of Hazoor’s (SAAW) wiladat and Hazrat Abdul Muttalib (A.S.) had stated the status of the Rasool (SAAW). In other words, the first Naat on the wiladat of Mustafa (SAAW) was said by Hazrat Abdul Muttalib (A.S.) and Hazat Abu Talib (A.S.) arranged the first Mehfil of Milad-un-Nabi.

            It is written in Madarij Al-Nabuwwat that Hazoor (SAAW) was asked the question that in whose Kifalat he liked to stay, the Risalat Ma’ab (SAAW) took the name of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.).

            It is Allah’s commitment that  (No doubt, Islam has to dominate and Islam’s supremacy will always be imbibed to Abul Muttalib (A.S.), Khadija (S.A.) and Ali (A.S.).

            If Abu Talib (A.S.) had not carried out Kifalat, protection and help of the Rasool (SAAW) then those who recited Kalma-e-Tauheed would not have enjoyed honour and dignity today. There are so many blessings of Abu Talib (A.S.) and which of them the world could forget. He gave all his four sons for Islam. His grandsons Imam Hassan (A.S.) and Imam Hussain (A.S.) sacrificed their life for Islam. Their Shahadat is seen by Shah Waliullah as below:

             (The exchange of good is nothing but good). On this basis, the Rasool (SAAW) has declared the year of Hazrat Abu Talib’s (A.S.) Wafaat as Aam Al-Huzn. I appeal the Islamiyan of the world to pay pursa to Ali (A.S.) and Batool (S.A.) on the occasion of Wisal of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) by observing Ayyam Al-Huzn from February 28-March 4 following in the foot-steps of Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW).

            The atheist world has made the Muslims subservient to them through their satanic tactics today and through media they have sent a wave in the Muslim States that have become subservient to colonial powers. The decisions in these States are taken through the nod of colonial powers and if anyone tries to raise his head is threatened and kept silent. In this hour of trial, a new lease of life could be injected into the lifeless Muslim Ummah by highlighting the spirit of Abu Talib (A.S.) so as to get the Islamic World rid of colonial clutches.
