RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: In a message issued on the occasion of birth anniversary of Hazrat Imam Ali Al-Hadi (A.S.), chief of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that every person of society would have to be laced with good moral and knowledge to root out oppression and violence and to resolve the issues and problems.

The birth anniversary of Imam Al-Hadi (A.S.) is being observed throughout the country with religious spirit and enthusiasm on Thursday as a part of Ashra-e-Ajr-e-Risalat. Moosavi said the objective of Be’sat of the Holy Prophet (SAW) was fulfilment of moral values. A human being needs such an ideal in knowledge and training that is laced with good qualities and is free of all evil things and the Khasan-e-Khuda (selected persons of Allah) has had enjoyed singular status owing to such qualities and one of these personalities was Hazrat Imam Ali Al-Hadi (A.S.) who was born on Rajab 5, 212 A.H. in Mohallah Sirya of Madinah Munawwarah. His father Hazrat Imam Taqi Al-Jawwad (A.S.) and mother Hazrat Samana (A.S.) were laced with piety.

Moosavi said he is the torch-bearer of Mawalian-e-Ali (A.S.) and Nabi (SAW) and was a pious personality, he used to recite from Quran whenever found time from public affairs, used to look after the people and give special care to the weak and the have-nots for which dictators and tyrant rulers of his era were afraid of him. Therefore, the then king Mutawakkil called for him to Samra from Madinah where he lived during the rest of his life.

He said confronting with the oppressive rulers throughout his life is a source of pride for religion, Shariat rather for the whole mankind. Oppressors remain afraid of Khasan-e-Illahi in every era. The ruler of his era adopted every tactic to make him bow down. Mutawakkil once directed his Governor to give extensive punishment to those who keep love or cooperate with Khanwada-e-Risalat. When Imam Hadi (A.S.) was kept in Samra Cantonment in exile from Madinah, he used to disseminate his knowledge to ulema, Aulia, Fuqara and even to kings of the world.

He said once Rome’s King asked one of the Abbasi caliph that there is a Surah which if recited, God never sends that person to hell but we could not find that Surah in Bible, therefore, you tell us that which one is that Surah. The Abbasi chaliph called for ulema from all over the country and asked the same question with no answer from them. At last he sent for Imam Ali Al-Hadi (A.S.) who told them that this Surah is Al-Hamd, which is recited daily in five time prayers, then he delivered the Tafseer of this Surah on which all scholars were surprised. The answer of the Imam (A.S.) was sent to Rome’s King who became very happy and recited Kalma-e-Tauheed to enter the circle of Islam.

He said the ‘knowledge’ has performed a big miracle that a sword could not. The Rome’s King accepted Islam as a religion of peace, love and devotion which proves that if we desire to resolve problems confronted by the world today then we would have to make knowledge our habit which is the basis of the religion of Islam.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya, Hamid Moosavi said religion is the name of love and devotion and international colonial powers are afraid of it and were utilising all their energies to link terrorism with Muslims while a foreigner Prof. Robert Peep writes in his book “Dining One-Two” that linking the suicide attacks with Islam and Muslims is extremely wrong because 76 suicide attacks out of 315 from 1980 to 2003 were carried out by Tamil Tigers who keep a secular mind. He said at present 25 States are on the target of terrorism but Israel is not a target in any file of terrorists, which provides food for thought. Moreover not a single Zionist was present in American Trade Centre at the time of New York-Washington incident which proves that it is the conspiracy against the oppressed nations and the Islamic World that can be thwarted through adopting uswah-e-Muhammad (SAW) and by promoting mutual unity and brotherhood so as to maintain the supremacy of humanity, he added.

Paying tributes in Bargah-e-Risalat on the occasion of Wiladat of Hazrat Imam Ali Al-Hadi (A.S.), he reiterated his resolve to continue practical struggle for promoting love and devotion and condemn the policies of the oppressors and brutal elements.
