Pakistanis observe Quran Revelation Festival on TNFJ call

By: Salman Alvi

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Jashan-e-Nazool-e-Quran (Quran Revelation Festival) was observed throughout the country on 23rd night of Ramazan-ul-Mubarik with religious spirit, devotion and respect on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi.

Jashan-e-Nazool gatherings were held and A’amaal were carried out in mosques, Madaris and Imambargahs. In the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, ulema while addressing Mahafil-e-Nazool-e-Quran organised by different religious organisations termed the holy Quran a beacon of light for the whole humanity.

Addressing a gathering on the topic of Fazeelat Shab-e-Qadr organised at Ali Mosque by Anjuman Sajjadia, Allama Syed Zahid Abbas Kazmi said, 124 thousand Prophets and Messengers and 104 books were sent by Allah for the guidance of humanity. There were 100 small and four big books i.e. Torah, Old Testament, Bible and Quran. From amongst the Prophets, Seal of Messengers (SAW) is the superior most and from these books, holy Quran is the superior most and the most complete Book that verified all earlier books. This is a comprehensive Book that claims mention of every dry and wet thing in the universe, that is a complete code of life and is exemplary even today.

He said there is a saying of the Holy Prophet (SAW) that keep yourself attached with Quran and Ahle Bait (A.S.) so you would not be misled, these two stand guarantee to your guidance. He said Khanwada-e-Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) used to achieve knowledge and their Islamic findings as ‘Ilhaam’ from Quran and used to present their enlightened Qurani Ayahs in their sermons as arguments, that is why they were most liked personalities of wisdom and knowledge and on that basis they earned the enmity of tyrant rulers and dictators in every era as they considered them a hurdle in their way. He said Islam, Quran and Ahle Bait (A.S.) are the messengers of peace and tranquillity while the Satanic forces are the enemies of peace and tranquillity.

Allama Syed Mohsin Hamdani addressing the Jashan-e-Nazool-e-Quran function at Qasr-e-Abu Talib said, the first and second 10-day period of Ramazan is mercy and forgiveness while the last 10-day period is freedom from the Hell. He said at present the whole world was giving the look of hell and to turn it into a hub of peace and tranquillity there is need to practically follow the universal message of Quran. He said there is a saying of the Holy Prophet (SAW) that goes: When the people of my Ummat would fulfil the obligation of Amar Bil Maroof and Nahi Anil Munker and would be cooperative to each other in carrying out good deeds, they will remain in peace, satisfaction and welfare, and when they give up that, the ‘blessing’ would vanish and others will be imposed on them, and they would not find any one to help them from earth to sky.

He said there is another saying of the Holy Prophet (SAW) that goes: Those who would not practise the obligation of Maroofaat and Munkiraat and would not follow my Ahle Bait (A.S.), Allah would impose worst rulers on them, and in such a situation if even pious people would raise their hands for dua, it would not be accepted. That is why, he said, today international colonial powers were dominating on us and all Muslim rulers were tied up in reservations. He said if a courageous policy was not derived for solution of collective problems of the Muslim Ummah then it could be the turn of all States, one by one.

Imam-e-Juma of Markazi Shia Jamia Mosque Darbar Shah Chan Chiragh Allama Saqlain Ali Bokhari while addressing Jashan-e-Nazool-e-Quran Mehfil said that the actual reason of humanity facing one problem or the other is their keeping a distance from the universal message of Quran and teachings of Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.). Quran is the source of guidance and guarantees blessing and happiness to the worlds. He said terrorism, biases, and all other evils could be rooted out from the society and humanity could be put to welfare and survival by following the Quranic teachings.

Addressing Nazool-e-Quran Conference at Jamia Masjid Jafariya Islamabad, Allama Sadiqi said Quran is that exemplary Book that claims even today that bring any reply to it (Quran) if you are true. He said ignoring the commandments of Allah is the reason of earning the names of extremists, fundamentalists and terrorists for the oppressed and Muslims and propaganda is rife that the Muslim heritage is obsolete and useless and a threat to the international peace, therefore, they have no right to live. That is why, he said, the survival of the oppressed is at stake.

He said the basic reason of making the life difficult for Muslims of Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya, Thailand and other States is contradiction to the Quranic principles. Muslims themselves are responsible for their problems as they bank on foreign nations for solution of their problems. If the fear of God is inculcated in them and they make the sayings of Quran and Divine Selected Persons as beacon of light, follow Maroofaat and avoid Munkiraat, and promote unity and brotherhood then no enemy of humanity, how bigger it would be, could cause any harm to them.

Allama Basharat Hussain Imami addressing the Jashan-e-Nazool-e-Quran at Qasr-e-Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) Tarlai Kalan said the revelation of the Book and the coming of Rehmatul Lil Alameen (SAW) make the world refreshing and the human begin was considered respectable. He said the key to the survival of wandering humanity lay in the universal principles of Quran and following the pious Uswah of the Khasan-e-Illahi (Divine Selected Persons).
