Allama Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi addressing the main function of the “International Jashan-e-Murtazvi” organised by Hay’at Tulaba-e-Islamia at Aza Khana Masooma-e-Qum in Rawalpindi said that seerat and character of Amirul Momineen Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) is the beacon of light for the whole humanity and Ali’s (A.S.) life-style is the life of justice and fair-play and death of the oppression. He said as per a saying of Allama Ibne Hajr Asqalani, after Nabi (SAAW) none but only Hazrat Ali (A.S.) has the honour of not bowing down before any Ghair Allah, that is why he was given the title of ‘Karam Allah Wajho’. Allama Nasir Abbas in his address said that if the world of humanity desires to get rid of Taghoot and Jabroot then they would have to bow down before Dar-e-Haider Karrar (A.S.). There is a saying of the Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW) that Ali (A.S.) is with Quran and Quran is with Ali (A.S.). That means if you do not understand Quran then ask Ali (A.S.) and if you do not understand Ali (A.S.) then you may take guidance from Quran.

Mufti Basim Abbas Zahiri, in his address said that the world of humanity would have to bow down on Dar-e-Haider Karrar if it desires to get rid of Taghoot and Jabroot. He said there is a saying of the Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW) that goes: Ali (A.S.) is with Quran and Quran is with Ali (A.S.). In other words, if someone is unable to understand Quran, he should ask Ali (A.S.) and if someone is unable to understand Ali (A.S.) then he should try to get the ma’arfat of Ali (A.S.) through Quran. That is why, he added, Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) is the personality that has been recognize real justice by the whole world of humanity to-date.
