By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Majalis-e-Aza and Matamdari programmes in connection with Ayyam-e-Bab-ul-Murad (Days of Door to Fulfil Wishes) marking the martyrdom anniversary of son of Mustafa (SAW) and Murtaza (A.S.) Hazrat Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) concluded throughout the country like other global parts.

Majalis-e-Aza were held followed by taking out of Taboot (Coffin) and Alam (Standards) processions in all big cities and towns of the four provinces including Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas in which the mourners performed Matamdari, Noha-Khwani and Zanjir-Zani to present condolences in the Court of Risalat.

Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the Tehreek Nafaze-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan while addressing the concluding Majlis of the Ayyam-e-Bab-ul-Murad said, Hazrat Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) is that great personality of the Khanwada-e-Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) who could not be sidelined from the righteous path by any dictator and tyrant ruler. He bore the difficulties of detention for 14 years continuously but no one could make any change in his firm stand and he continued preaching the religion and guiding the humanity against heavy odds.

Moosavi said Hazrat Moosa ibne Jafar (A.S.) proved through his character and deeds that Islam is life-giver and commensurates life with belief and struggle and declares it subservience to Allah and worship, and terms it height of worship, he added. He said Khanwada-e-Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) are the promoters of Maktab-e-Shahadat (martyrdom), every small and big member of that Khanwada (family) preached the lesson of confronting war, conflict and riot for the supremacy of independence & freedom, religion and Shariat and that biggest example of which was presented by the freedom lovers in the plains of Nainawa.

He said Hazrat Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) kissed martyrdom as a punishment for not bowing down before the oppressed and brutal rulers following in the footsteps of his forefathers. He said Hazrat Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah wrote the greatest Islamic State – Pakistan - on earth by taking Ilhaam and strength from the same great Khanwada achieving a separate and independent homeland for the Muslims of this Subcontinent.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi said the founder of Pakistan Quaid-i-Azam fought a 4-pronged war but refused to accept supremacy of anyone and gave us a great State in the shape of Pakistan the foundation of which is Kalma-e-Tauheed and as Khwaja Moeen-ud-Din Chishti Ajmeri said: “Haqqa Keh Binaey La Illah Hastt Hussain”.

He said unfortunately this inheritance could not be protected against the perpetual enemy and we lost half of it but even then the rulers and politicians did not learn any lesson. He said the key to put Pakistan on road to progress, survival and development of the nation and the country, and supremacy and the Islamic World lay on following the principles of Khanwada-e-Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.), fulfilling the norms of justice and fair-play, giving rights to all on the basis of equality, continuous hatred against the oppressor and support to the oppressed.

Rawalpindi’s main coffin procession was taken out under the arrangements of Bawa Syed Karam Hussain Shah Kazmi from the residence of Syed Ghulam Haider Shah in Chuhr Harpal attended by dozens of matmi corps who by reciting Nohas and performing matamdari and zanjirzani offered their condolences.

Syed Naseer Hussain Sabzawari got a resolution passed from the participants which severely condemned terrorism continued in the world.
