By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, October 02: The Birth Anniversary of Syed-us-Sajideen Hazrat Imam Zainul Abideen (A.S.) was observed throughout the country including Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas as a part of Wila-e-Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) Week on Thursday on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi.

Mahafil-e-Milad, meetings and functions on the topic of Seerat-e-Sajjad (A.S.) were organized in mosques, Imambargahs and Darsgahs of Karachi, Larkana, Dadu, Kherpur Miras, Nawab-Shah, Haiderabad, Sakkhar, Lahore, Multan, Sheikhupura, Faisalabad, Quetta, Peshawar, Kohat, D. I. Khan, D. G. Khan, Bhakkar, Attock, Chakwal, Jehlum, Gujrat, Muzaffarabad, Gilgit and Skardu. Mahafil-e-Milad programs were also organized in twin city of Rawalpindi and Islamabad by different religious organizations.

In Rawalpindi, addressing a Mehfil-e-Milad organized by Anjuman Ghulaman Aal-e-Imran (A.S.) at Bargah-e-Zainabia, Maulana Syed Qalab-e-Abbas Qummi said that Imam Zainul Abideen (A.S.) preached the practical lesson of worship and hard work to the world of humanity that is the source of objective of creation and survival of humanity. Maulana Allah Ditta Jafri and other speakers also addressed the gathering on this occasion.

Maulana Ijlal Haider Masoomi addressing the Mehfil-e-Sajjadia organized by Hay’at Tulaba-e-Islamia said that Syed-e-Sajjad (A.S.) was the spokesman and protector of Maktab-e-Wahi and Ilhaam and his life span spread over 57 years stands witness that no oppressor and tyrant ruler could bow down or divert the ill and weak Imam (A.S.) from the right path even in the darkest era of oppression and brutality. He said the way he exercised patience and forbearance in the streets and bazaars of Kufa and Syria and in the courts of Yazid and Ibne Ziad, and delivered his heart-rending addresses to announce what is truth, is a beacon of light for the whole oppressed world.

Maulana Abbas Kazmi in his address said that Imam Zainul Abideen (A.S.) set up the great example of patience, forbearance, courage and bravery along with his father Hussain (A.S.) in Karbala. He said the Imam (A.S.) continued to highlight the Mission-e-Hussainiyyat even 35 years after Karbala and highlight the Yazidi designs through his detailed and informative addresses.

In Federal Capital Islamabad, Allama Sadiqi addressing Jashan-e-Imam Sajjad (A.S.) at Masjid-e-Jafariya said, Dua is the ultimate weapon of the Momin when oppression and brutality is rife and one could not see anything in the darkness of ignorance. He said the personality of Imam Zainul Abideen (A.S.) is indifferent from all, he explained the meanings of submissiveness to the humanity through Dua besides telling them about the real relations of “Abd” and “Ma’bood”.

Syed Zahid Abbas Kazmi addressing the Jashan-e-Imam Zainul Abideen (A.S.) Mehfil at Jamia-tul-Murtaza G-9/4 Islamabad said that collection of Hazrat Sajjad’s (A.S.) Ad’iyah i.e. Saheefah-e-Kamilah is the great inheritance for the oppressed world and guarantees the protection of human rights. He said Uswah-e-Sajjad (A.S.) is the best and complete example to follow for rooting out Yazidi conspiracies in every era.

A resolution adopted on the occasion while condemning the attitude of electronic media lamented that programs of Wila-e-Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) are being ignored that is absolutely unfair with the Maktab-e-Tashayyo. The resolution demanded from the government to give ideological representation to Millat-e-Jafariya in all State departments including the electronic media on the basis of equality. Langar-e-Imam Sajjad (A.S.) was also arranged on the occasion.

Maulana Talib Hussain Kazmi, Syed Kifayat Hussain Shah, and Maulana Ashiq Hussain also addressed similar gatherings at Qasr-e-Imam Ali Naqi G-11, Qasr-e-Sakina, and Mehfil Hazrat-e-Sajjad, respectively.
