Moosavi advises Muslims to remember oppressed stratums on Eid

By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Moosavi has said Eid-ul Fitr is thanksgiving of divine blessings and bounties as well as a display of practical unity of Islamic World, a day when all Unitarians of the world prostrate in the divine court after one prayer leader.

In his special message marking the occasion of Eid-ul Fitr, Agha Moosavi said importance of festivals is incontestable in all religions and nations. Therefore, Allah says in Surah-e-Maeda that the son of Maryam said, O our Lord! Descend upon us a table full of eatables from the sky so that day would become Eid (feast) for our forefathers and for those who will come in future.

Moosavi said Islam also has given paramount importance to its days, one of these is Eid-ul Fitr. He stressed that core of a saying of Ameer-ul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibn-e-Abi Talib (A.S.) is, that day is Eid (feast) for a believer, the day in which he does not commit sin. Therefore, we can mould our each day in this manner by following Divine commandments and avoiding prohibitions in line with the saying of Masoom (A.S.).

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi said Eid-ul Fitr is being celebrated on such an occasion when darkness of injustice is rife, whole world is confronted with oppression and brutality, enemies of humanity and Shariah have made despotism and repression order of the day, life of Kashmiris and Palestinians has been made hell, tyranny is continued in Afghanistan and Iraq, and no one is to care about oppressed nations and the Islamic World.

In such a situation, we all are duty bound to observe Eid-ul Fitr with simplicity besides resolving to spend all our energies for eradicating oppression, barbarism and terrorism.

He said Muslim Ummah should keep in mind oppressed and deprived stratum and cooperate with them, as real Eid is obedience to the Creator and service to the Creation.
