By: Salman Alvi

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The death anniversary of Ummul Momineen Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) was observed as Youm-ul-Huzn (Day of Grief), throughout the country like other global parts with religious spirit, devotion and respect in line with the announcement made by Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya (TNFJ) headed by Syed Hamid Moosavi.

The day began with recitation from the Holy Quran soon after Fajr prayers in all mosques without any discrimination. In the twin cities of Federal Capital Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Youm-ul-Huzn Majalis were held followed by Matamdari.

At Ali Masjid Rawalpindi, Allama Muhammad Ali Haleemi while addressing the Majlis-e-Sehri marking the Youm-ul-Huzn said, Ummul Momineen Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) is that great Mohsina-e-Islam on whose blessings even Quran stands witness. This pious lady has the honour of being the first certifier of holy Prophet (SAW) and she showered all her wealth in the feet of her dearest personality i.e. Holy Prophet (SAW) for promotion of Islam, this way Allah considered her help and support as a help to Him.

He said her wealth spread from east to west that had been reserved for saying Kalma-e-Haq. The Hazrat Khadija’s home thus became the shelter not only for the Holy Prophet (SAW) but also for all Muslims. The seerat and character of Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) is the beacon of light for women at large and the whole world of humanity.

Central Secretary Information of the TNFJ Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi while addressing the Youm-ul-Huzn Conference organised by Anjuman Faiz-e-Punjtan at Zainul Abideen Hall said, the Mohsina-e-Islam Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) was the protector and defender of the message of Risalat in the initial tough and most difficult period of Islam. He said the Holy Prophet (SAW) had termed the year of her death as Aam-ul-Huzn (the Year of Grief). She had sacrificed all her wealth on the promotion of Islam and she was the first to recognise the Prophethood of the Rasool-e-Khuda (SAW) rather her sacrifice, steadfastness and love for Islam is the example to be followed by Muslim women at large. He said the seerat of Khadija (S.A.) is the beacon of light for womenfolk in every era.

Allama Mohsin Ali Hamdani, addressing Majlis Youm-ul-Huzn at Qasr-e-Abu Talib Mughalabad said, the uswah of Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) is the best and complete deed in strengthening Islamic economics in the present era.

While addressing Youm-ul-Huzn Majlis organised by Mukhtar Students Organisation Rawalpindi City, Allama Zahid Abbas Kazmi said Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) supported Islam in the most difficult era. Avoiding to remember the day of this great lady (S.A.) who spent all she had on Islam is tantamount to enmity with Islam. He said there would have been no concept of Victory of Makkah had there been no financial support of Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) and the manpower support by Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.).

A resolution adopted on the occasion strongly condemned the electronic and print media for ignoring the Youm-ul-Huzn. The resolution called upon the Muslim States to take practical steps for restoring the dignity of holy shrine of Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) in Jannatul Mualla and because today the spread of Islam in the whole world owes to this great lady (S.A.).

The gathering resolved to offer any sacrifice demanded from them by Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi for the mission of ‘Wila’ and for promotion and protection of ‘Aza’.

Allama Basharat Hussain Imami while addressing Majlis-e-Youm-ul-Huzn at Central Imambargah Qasr-e-Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) Tarlai Kalan, Islamabad, said mother of Hazrat Batool (S.A.), Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) provided protection and stability to the message of Prophethood by sacrificing all her riches in the way of Islam.

He said complete silence of radio, television and newspapers of Pakistan, which came into being in the name of Islam, on the death anniversary of Mohsina-e-Islam (benefactress of Islam) is not only regrettable rather shameful. Matamdari followed the majlis.

Allama Sadqi addressed a Majlis marking the day at Jamia Mosque Jafaria I-9, Allama Ikhlaq Hussain Kazmi at Qasr-e-Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) I-10/4 and Allama Fakhar Zahidi at Isna Ashari Mosque Dhalyala Islamabad.

Islamic Students Organization organized a majlis Youm-ul-Huzn on the death anniversary of Malikatul Arab, Ummul Momineen Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) at Ali (A.S.) hall. Tabbasum Abbas Kazmi addressed and said Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) possesses this great honour that Islam became rich with her wealth, and it is riches of Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) by dint of which flag of Islam is fluttering in the whole world.

By a resolution on this occasion, the gathering stressed upon OIC – representative body of Islamic world – to take immediate notice of dilapidated condition of the holy grave of Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) in Jannatul Moalla (Cemetery of Moalla), Makka, Saudi Arabia, and take instant practical steps for restoration of its honour and dignity. Syed Bilawal Kazmi, Rawayat Hussain Rawi, Arif Al-Hussaini and others also addressed.
