RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: “Ashra-e-Rushd-o-Hidayat” began throughout the country like other global parts on Tuesday in connection with the birth anniversary of Hazrat Fatima bint-e-Moosa bin Jaffar (S.A.) on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Syed Hamid Moosavi.

Quran Khwani was arranged in mosques and Imambargahs of twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi after Fajr prayers besides holding Mahafil-e-Milad, conferences and seminars.

The opening function of “Ashra-e-Rushd-o-Hidayat” was held under the auspices of Hae’at Tulaba-e-Islamia. Different waizeen and zakireen delivered their address on the topic: “Character of women at large in promoting Rushd-o-Hidayat” and declared the seerat and character of Hazrat Fatima binte Moosa Kazim (S.A.) best example for women to follow.

Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi, Central Secretary Information of the TNFJ in his address said, Khanwada-e-Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) placed the humanity on the highest pedestal. The Mukhadderaat-e-Ismat and Taharat of this pious family are also ideal for the mankind, he added.

He said in the chain of Rushd-o-Hidayat, Hazrat Fatima Masoom-e-Qum (S.A.) is a great personality who enlightened the Shariat with her spiritual and pious teachings. International colonial powers and her agents were playing a heinous role as they trampled the honour and dignity of the oppressed and have-nots sections of society and did not even spare the female gender because they are aware that woman is human builder and to maintain their supremacy they would have to overpower human factory. He paid tributes to Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi for announcing to observe the days of pious personalities with fanfare.

Ijlal Haider, Central Secretary of Ashra-e-Rushd-o-Hidayat Committee of the TNFJ in his address said, international colonial powers put the dignity of woman to earth by raising the slogan of ultimate freedom to woman. Islam is a complete religion that gives absolute honour to woman putting heaven under her feet. Maulana Syed Tabassum Kazmi, Syed Ibne Ali Kazmi, Bilawal Kazmi, Syed Jone Ali Mashadi, Riwayat Hussain, Arif Hussaini, Syed Mushahid Hussain, and Yasrib Haider also addressed the gathering.

A resolution adopted on the occasion called upon the government to ensure implementation of Anti-Terrorism Act, take notice of the activities and joining of political alliances with new names by banned groups and take lawful action against them. The resolution reiterated their resolve to offer any sacrifice for the mission of ‘Wila’ and ‘Aza’ on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi.
