ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The chief patron of Supreme Shia Ulama Board and Head of Tehreek e Nafaz e Fiqah Jafariya(TNFJ) Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has strongly condemned the execution of senior religious scholar AyatullahBaqir al Nimr in Saudi Arabia and termed it as the murder of justice and Islamic unity while also announced a three days mourning. Agha Moosavi has appealed to the Muslims across the globe to demonstrate restraint on this sad occasion and hold peaceful protests to continue the mission of Ayatullah Baqir al Nimr. He said that the oppressors will certainly get defeated.

In his reaction issued from the Head Quarter of Maktab e Tashayyo he said that Baqir al Nimr who declared the truth as stronger than the gun bullets and aggression and terrorism as opposite to Islam has become immortal after scarifying his life and therefore his voice will always remain alive. Ayatullah Nimr always wanted to get martyrdom; Almighty Allah accepted his prayers and granted him what he wanted. Ayatullah Nimr has been made as the first target of 34 states alliance, countries that are imposing their ideologies and policies on the Muslims of the whole world and consequently producing hatred and unrest must be declared as terrorists.

Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that martyrdom is our inheritance while expressing truth even at the peak of the spear is our tradition and neither did our forefathers nor weget frightened from this Godly responsibility while our next generations will also follow the same path of righteousness. By hanging AyatullahNimr; King Salman has included himself in the list of the worst dictators and oppressors of the world while one day the oppressors will be held accountable. He said that in every era, the dictators and oppressors considered the righteous people as hindrances and exerted all their efforts in removing them from their way. The oppressors like Saddam, Zia ul Haq, King of Iran, Mujeebur Rehman, Husni Mubarak who killed Bhutto in Pakistan, Ayatullah Baqir al Sadar and thousands of scholars in Iraq and Iran, Akhwan al Muslimeen in Egypt, Pro Pakistanis in Bangladesh; followers of Ahl e Bait (A.S) in Nigeria and Bahrain, and freedom lovers in Palestine and Kashmir;eventually became a sign of lesson by themselves and therefore, those acting and pursuing American agenda must not forget the endings of all these oppressors. He questioned that why are the champions of peace maintaining criminal silence over these atrocities, why the rules of economic sanctions still quiet on these evil deeds by the American stooges? Why the United Nations, OIC and International Court of Justice still silent?

Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that the leaders of Saudi Arabia have been disrespecting and destroying the Islamic sites and the holy signs attributed to the holy Prophet (PBUH&HHP) for the last ten decades who did not avoid destroying the holy graves and shrines of the holy Prophet’s pious companions, sacred Ahl e Bait (A.S) and Umhatul Momineen hence; what importance will they give to the religious scholars? These rulers can go to any extreme. Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that in accordance with the rulings of the holy Quran and Islam, it is mandatory to protest against oppression. Ayatullah Baqir al Nimr was guilty of raising voice against creating divide amongst Muslims and speaking for the rights of the oppressed people; while he was also not allowed to hire a lawyer to defend against the false accusations made against him which is a clear violation of the Islamic ideology.

Agha Moosavi said in a situation when the Muslim world is under siege by the evil powers, their intervention continues in the Muslim states; these colonial powers are trying to divide and then obliterate the Muslims from the face of the earth. Hence, in such a grave situation, Muslims of the whole world will have to thwart their conspiracies through unity and solidarity.
