RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The programmes of Hafta-e-Aza (Week of Mourning) announced by Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi in connection with the Wisal of Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) and Shahadat of Hazrat Imam Hassan Mujtaba (A.S.) concluded on Sunday Safar 29 with honour and respect.

Majalis-e-Aza and Matmi processions were taken out on this occasion. The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Moosavi took part in the main Matmi procession taken out from People’s Colony Rawalpindi under the auspices of Syed Nawab Shah and participated in Matamdari and offered ziarat of Taburrakat.

Talking to the Azadaraan on this occasion, Agha Moosavi said the practical following of Seerat-e-Nabavi and oswah of Hazrat Imam Hassan Mujtaba (A.S.) were need of the hour to get the world rid of terrorism and threat to peace. He said policy of mutual understanding would have to be adopted to root out problems and difficulties by following in the footsteps of the pious religious leaders (Hadis).

He expressed concern that at present motherland Pakistan was confronted with internal and external threats; incidents of murder, arson, terrorism, and suicide attacks have become the order of the day; incidents of target killings in Karachi and other cities have made the life of people difficult; and every patriotic person condemns this oppression and brutality.

Strongly condemning blast that took place at the central chowk in Dadu, the TNFJ chief said our perpetual enemy desires to destabilize the country by creating unrest and anarchy in the country. Therefore, he added, all powers should come out of the shackle of personal and party interest and work in the larger interest of the country and the nation so as to thwart the conspiracies of the enemies of the religion and motherland and increase the honour of the motherland.

He said had the government ensured effective implementation of the Anti-Terrorism Act and tightened noose around the banned groups, the terrorism could have been controlled to some extent but, he added, the rulers and politicians were engaged in war of their survival.

He said the country could not afford extraordinary situation owing to present situation, therefore, he added, all State institutions should perform their duty in line with the Constitution and do not exceed the limit of their powers. Otherwise, he said, democracy would land in danger for which the rulers and politicians would be equally responsible.

The TNFJ chief made it clear that Ayyam-e-Aza programmes would continue till 8th Rabiul Awwal after which all Muslims will pay homage in Bargah-e-Risalat without any discrimination on 12th Rabiul Awwal by observing Milad-un-Nabi.

He demanded from the government to make fool-proof security arrangements while people should themselves remain fully alert and keep an eye on the enemy. He said the Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW) changed the whole world through his preaching spread over 23 years and guided the humanity with Allah’s judicial system and ultimately came the Ayah-e-wilayat saying that today religion has been completed. He said Imam Hassan Mujtaba (A.S.) by following in the footsteps of his grandfather Muhammad (SAAW) gave priority to peace over war. The whole world could be turned into a hub of peace by following the seerat and teachings of Khanwada-e-Risalat.
