ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The programmes of Ashra-e-Beemar-e-Karbala (A.S.) marking the Martyrdom Anniversary of Hazrat Imam Zainul Abideen (A.S.) on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi ended on Wednesday.

Majalis-e-Aza were held and Taboot processions taken out throughout the country and all the provinces including Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas on this occasion. Ulama and zakireen highlighted the Seerat-e-Sajjad in detail paying homage to his invaluable sacrifices for survival of Islam.

In Islamabad, the main procession was taken out from Sadat Colony, I-10 which after passing through its designated routes culminated at Qasr-e-Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) where renowned ulema and zakireen addressed Majlis-e-Beemar-e-Karbala (A.S.) and threw light on the life of Hazrat Sajjad (A.S.).

Zakira Arbab Qassem while addressing the concluding Majlis of Ashra-e-Beemar-e-Karbala at Jamiatul Murtaza G-9/4 termed Hazrat Imam Zainul Abideen (A.S.) an ideal for the oppressed world. Later, Taboot of Imam Sajjad (A.S.) was brought out.

President TNFJ district council Islamabad Allama Basharat Hussain Imami addressed. He said it was the outcome of the sacrifices rendered by the Beemar-e-Karbala (A.S.) that the name of Yazid has become a curse till eternity.

A resolution adopted unanimously by the Majlis said that as Islamic world including Saudi Arabia has termed the honour and respect of Sha’a’er-ullah ‘obligatory’ in the backdrop of international situation, therefore entire Islamic world is duty bound to restore the dignity of holy shrines of Ahl-e-Bait-e-Athar including Hazrat Imam Zainul Abiddeen (A.S.), Sahaba Kibar and Azwaj-e-Rasool buried in Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moalla in order to foil colonial conspiracies.

In Rawalpindi, Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi, Central Secretary Information TNFJ, addressing a Majlis-e-Beemar-e-Karbala organised by Anjuman Faiz-e-Punjtan at Imambargah Zain Al-Abideen said, Hazrat Imam Sajjad (A.S.) is the symbol of patience, firmness, courage and bravery that he uprooted the Yazidi ranks after Martyrdom of Imam Hussain (A.S.) despite being in detention and unveiled the real face of Yazidiyyat through the insight of his heart-rending addresses so that the whole world may know that Nawasa-e-Rasool Imam Aali Muqam (A.S.) had presented the great sacrifice in the plains of Karbala to check Yazidi activities that include making fun out of Shariat-e-Muhammadi and to deshape the Islamic commandments.

The participants of the Majlis adopted a resolution presented by Anjuman Faiz-e-Punjtan amongst vociferous slogans. It lodged a strong protest against publication of a provocative article carrying offensive wordings against Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) in the March 6 issue of a Karachi based daily “Ummat”. They strongly demanded from the government to cancel the newspaper’s declaration and take action against the elements responsible for this indecent activity.
