By: Salman Alvi

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Youm-e-Zahra was observed throughout Pakistan including Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas with devotion, respect and religious spirit on Friday in line with the announcement made by Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the TNFJ Pakistan.

Majalis-e-Aza were held and Matmi processions were taken out from mosques and Imambargahs while Taboots were also taken out in the ladies Majalis also. Ulema-e-Karam and Khutaba while addressing Friday congregations highlighted the seerat of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.) and termed her teachings, and practically following the same the best example for the women world to follow and a source for survival.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi, in his address on the occasion of Youm-e-Zahra said that respect for Sha’a’ir-Ullah is binding that are helpful in achieving the marfat of Sha’a’ir-Ullah. He said like Millat-e-Islamia is the target today, similarly Sha’a’ir-Ullah are also under threat, therefore, Muslim rulers are under the obligation to give priority to their honour and dignity over all other things.

He said Saudi Arabia is an Islamic State that has itself accepted the honour and dignity of holy graves and Sha’a’ir-Ullah, therefore, they should immediately restore the honour of Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Mualla.

He said objective of the Holy Prophet’s (SAW) life was accomplishment of moral. He said like Khatmi Martabat (SAW) is a complete example for the world of humanity, similarly Fatima binte Muhammad (S.A.) is a complete example for the women world. He said at present the whole world has fallen prey to international colonial powers, and women are top of them all. He said woman is facing the brunt of evil as these powers desire to trample the honour of the oppressed nations and people by transforming them into their own life-style. The women from all over the world should adopt the Fatimi seerat and make it beacon of light to check the colonial conspiracy.

Meanwhile, like other cities of the country, Majalis-e-Aza were also held in twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad in connection with observing the Youm-e-Zahra.

District President Alhaj Ghulam Murtaza Chauhan and others addressed a Majlis followed by Matamdari at Imambargah Zainul Abideen under the auspices of TNFJ District Council Rawalpindi. Allama Syed Saqlain Ali Bokhari while addressing the Friday congregation at Markazi Shia Jamia Masjid Darbar Shah Chan Chiragh said, woman enjoyed honour, dignity and height with the blessings of Hazrat Fatima Zahra’s (A.S.) personality. He said uswah-e-Fatima is the beacon of light for women, oppressed and deprived sections of society the world over.

In Islamabad, a Majlis-e-Aza was held at Markazi Imambargah Shah Allah Ditta under the auspices of Syed Nazakat Hussain Naqvi. Allama Agha Ali Hussain Najfi said Islam by breaking all manifestoes of ignorance bestowed that status on woman in the universe that has increased her dignity manifold. He said westernised women who have lost their religion and faith should practically follow the Seerat-e-Fatima so as to achieve a respectable place in society. Allama Agha Nasim Abbas Rizvi in his address said that one should have to grab the Daman of Mushkil Kusha to get rid of all types of difficulties and problems.

The Central Secretary Information of the TNFJ, Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi said the basic reason of problems and difficulties faced by the humanity in the present era is keeping a distance from Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.). He said the menace of terrorism in Pakistan has created negative effects on motherland Pakistan and the government should implement the Moosavi Peace Formula and activate the Anti-Terrorism Act immediately so as to root out such effects. The huge gathering on the occasion reiterated their resolve to support every commandment of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya for the mission of “Wila” and “Aza” whenever he so desired.
