Moosavi calls for eliminating biggest evil following Ramazan lesson

By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Agha Syed Hamid Moosavi, chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan has said that Mah-e-Sayam (month of Ramazan) preaches the practical lesson to get rid of all types of evil, therefore, all sections of society are under the obligation to carry out practical struggle in rooting out the biggest evil i.e. terrorism so that the benefit of blessings of this month reach the whole world and the country could be turned into a hub of peace.

He stated this while delivering special address at Mehfil Mah-e-Sayam here on Saturday. Agha Moosavi said piety and piousness have been considered the height of creation of human being while worship and obedience have been termed the purpose of creation. Fast is the most important amongst the worship that is called ‘Saum’ in Arabic the plural of which is Sayam.

Therefore, he said, Allah Says:

O believers! Fasting is decreed for you as it was decreed for those before you; perchance you will guard yourselves against evil.

The fast has been made compulsory in the month of Ramazan about which Quran says:

The month of Ramazan is the month in which the Quran was revealed, a book of guidance with proofs of guidance distinguishing right from wrong. Therefore, whoever of you finds this month, let him fast. But he who is ill or on journey shall fast a similar number of days later on. Allah desires ease for you, and does not desire hardship for you; and (He desires)that you should complete the period, and that you should magnify Allah for having guided you, and peradventure you may be thankful.

Thus the purpose of Saum is declared worship and thanks for Allah and piety. Piety is the name of

Keeping away from Razail (vices) and being laced with Fazail (virtues)

The TNFJ chief said at present the biggest evil from amongst the Razail (vices) is terrorism that the whole world is confronted with and the motherland Pakistan is surrounded by it for the last 25 years, hundreds rather thousands people from all sections of society have lost their life to this menace, mosques and Imambargahs have been turned into murder houses, fear and harassment is rife all around, every small, big, elder and young has started feeling unsafe and it seems that actually Islam and Pakistan are being given punishment for following Basic Ideology.

In these circumstances, he said, President Pervez Musharraf enforced Anti-Terrorism Act keeping our Peace Formula in view. At present the Constitution and Act both are present but the actual thing is implementation. The more power of enforcement is the more stronger the supremacy of law would be.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Syed Hamid Moosavi appealed all countrymen to avoid evils and follow good to benefit from the Ashra-e-Rehmat (10-day period of mercy) of the Ramazan-ul-Mubarik and strongly condemn terrorists and terrorism at every level.
