RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya, Pakistan, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that like respect and dignity of Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW) similarly the respect and dignity of his Ahle Bait Athaar (A.S.) is also binding and insulting them is a great sin the punishment of which is death which should be given without delay. This was stated by him in a special message issued on the occasion of Wisaal-e-Nabi Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (SAAW) and Youm-e-Shahadat of Shahzada Sulah-o-Aman Hazrat Imam Hassan Mujtaba (A.S.) which are being observed throughout the country Wednesday with religious spirit, devotion and respect.

Agha Moosavi said that Allah Says in Surah Al-Hujraat of Holy Quran: “O ye who believe! Be not forward in the presence of Allah and His messenger, and keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower. O ye who believe! Lift not up your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor shout when speaking to him as ye shout one to another, lest your works be rendered vain while ye perceive not. Lo! they who subdue their voices in the presence of the messenger of Allah, those are they whose hearts Allah hath proven unto righteousness. Theirs will be forgiveness and immense reward.” He said Hazoor (SAAW) was declared the cause of creation of the universe: “I was a hidden treasure, I wanted to be identified, so I created (O, Habeeb) you.” On this basis, Khanwada-e-Risalat has been declared the most respected Khanwada and Dana-e-Kull Ahmed-e-Mursal (SAAW) is the Syed-o-Sardar of all prophets and Mursaleen. He said respect of the Rasool (SAAW) is binding on the whole humanity and no one is allowed to give priority to his decision over the decisions made by Allah and His Rasool (SAAW). It is the beauty of the faithfuls to bow down before the commandments of Allah and His Rasool (SAAW).

The TNFJ chief said that on this basis, some Mufassireen wrote that some people from Banu Tameem tribe visited the Rasool (SAAW) and it was being discussed that who should be appointed ruler on Banu Tameem. One of the Sahaba proposed Qa’aqa’a Bin Saeed while another proposed Iqra’a Bin Habis. Both Sahaba exchanged words and the pitch of their voice went high. Thus the above mentioned Ayahs of Surah Hujraat were sent and Sahaba were stopped to raise their voice before the Rasool (SAAW) rather to wait what Rasool (SAAW) states in this regard. It is the dignity of Risalat, therefore, one can understand that if Rasool (SAAW) is walking then no one should walk ahead of him. If he (SAAW) is talking then no one should try to give his comments ahead of him. In other words, advance in any matter from the Rasool (SAAW) is declared blasphemy.

Similarly, in the second Ayah, he said one is stopped from raise his voice in a gathering in which Hazoor (SAAW) is present. It is a big desecration and insult the punishment of which is that all deeds of that person would become useless with his knowledge. Then those people are being praised who keep their voice low in front of the Hazoor (SAAW). Zaat-e-Illahi has purified their hearts for Taqwah and nothing could be put in their hearts but fear of Allah. Like the respect and dignity of Rasool (SAAW) is binding, the respect and dignity of Ahle Bait Athaar (A.S.) is also binding because this is the Khanwada of Ismat and Taharat, the Ayah-e-Tatheer was sent. There is a saying of Imam Shafa’aee that if Darood-o-Salam is not recited during the Nimaz on them, that Nimaz goes unaccepted.

Similarly, Agha Moosavi said, Sadqah is Haram on Rasool (SAAW) and also on those holy personalities on which the Ahadees-e-Nabavi stand witness and like devotion for Rasool (SAAW) is declared binding, similarly the devotion for Ahle Bait (A.S.) has been declared Ajr-e-Risalat. Allah says in Ayah 23 of Surah Ash-Shura in Para-25 of Quran: “Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): “I ask of you no fee therefor, save loving kindness among kinsfolk.” One personality from amongst Ahle Bait (A.S.) is that of Shahanshah-e-Arab and Ajam Shahzada Sulah-o-Aman Hazrat Imam Hassan (A.S.) and his brother Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) have the honour to be Farzandan-e-Rasool according to Ayah-e-Mobahila. In Ayah 61 of Sura Aal-e-Imran of Para-3 in Quran, Allah says: “And whoso disputeth with thee concerning him, after the knowledge which hath come unto thee, say (unto him): Come! We will summon our sons and your sons, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, then we will pray humbly (to our Lord) and (solemnly) invoke the curse of Allah upon those who lie.”

But, the TNFJ chief said, the international colonial powers do not like that honour and dignity that is why they utilise all their energy in desecrating the Hazoor (SAAW), his Ahle Bait (A.S.) and pious Sahaba Kubaar (R.A.). No day passes when they do no commit desecration against Islam, Sha’air-e-Islam, Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW) and his greatest Khanwada despite the fact that Allah has honoured Bani Adam with honour and respect under “Karamna Bani Adam” and there is not distinction rather whoever is Bani Adam is renowned and respectable what to talk about Anbia, Mursaleen, Swaleheen and master of them all Khatamul Nabbiyeen (SAAW) who has been given the title of “Wa Maa Arsalnaka Al-Rehmatul Lil Alimeen”. Not only his (SAAW) respect and honour is binding but similarly that of his Khanwada and Sahaba Mukrimeen is also binding. And insult to Hazoor (SAAW) and Ahle Bait (A.S.) is a great sin punishment of which is death and no delay is allowed in carrying out that punishment.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that Yazid (Laeen) committed insult to the Hazoor (SAAW) and his Khanwada-e-Ismat (A.S.) after Rasool’s (SAAW) Wisaal by saying “La’abat Banu Hashim Bil Mulak Fala . . .” That Banu Hashim had played a game while neither any Wahi nor Ilhaam came. When he violated the commandments of Allah, the great personality of this Khanwada Syed-us-Shuhada Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) offered that great sacrifice that was termed “Wa Fidaina Bey Zibhe Azeem”. Therefore, Nawasa-e-Rasool (SAAW) warned him and stopped him rather sacrificed his near and dear ones but did not allow any scar on the dignity of Rasool (SAAW). Later, the Mukhaderaat-e-Ismat and Taharat of this Khanwada Hazrat Zainab (S.A.), Hazrat Umm-e-Kulsoom (S.A.) and Rasool’s (SAAW) grandson Hazrat Ali Ibn Al-Hussain known as Zainul Abideen (A.S.) bore all difficulties in gaol and delivered courageous and heart-rending khutbaat in the streets of Kufa and Shaam and in the courts of Ibne Ziad and Yazid that not only shattered the Qasr-e-Yazidiyyat rather unveiled the fake veils from the faces of Yazid and his colleagues and declared his name a source of curse till the Day of Judgement. While Rasool (SAAW) and his honourable Khanwada still enjoy supremacy and will remain so for ever.

Allah says: “We have raised your Zikr”. Therefore, wherever the name of Zaat-e-Illahi comes, there comes the name of Muhammad (SAAW) and Darood also comes on Muhammad (SAAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.). “Zahid, we salute your Nimaz, without devotion to Ahle Bait (A.S.) worship is Haram.” That is why Zaat-e-Illahi declared subservience to them as subservience to Him and said: “If you are truthful in your claim of devotion to Allah then follow the Hazoor (SAAW) and perform what he says”. By observing the Wisaal of Hazoor (SAAW) and Shahadat of his loving grandson Imam Hassan (A.S.) during the Hafta Azmat-e-Mustafa and Mujtaba we should prove that: Ki Muhammad (SAAW) sey Wafa Tu Ney Tau Hum Terey Hein, Yeh Jehan Cheeze Hey Kiya Loh-o-Qalam Terey Hein.
