RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: “Ayyam-e-Babul Hawaij” began throughout the country like other global parts on Monday marking the Shahadat of Hazrat Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi.

Recitation from holy Quran was arranged in mosques after Fajr prayers on this occasion. Majalis-e-Aza followed by Matamdari were organised at Imambargahs, Aza Khanas and religious institutions under the auspices of different religious and Matmi organizations. The first Majlis of Ayyam-e-Babul Hawaij was held at Jamia-tul-Momineen under the auspices of “Khanwada-e-Moosavi” in Rawalpindi.

Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi in his address on the occasion said the life span of great personality of Khanwada-e-Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.), Hazrat Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) spread over 54 years is replete with confronting with dictatorial rulers but the Aseer-e-Baghdad Imam (A.S.) did not bow down before oppression following in the footsteps of his forefathers and made it clear on the dark world of oppression that no honourable person could bow down before anyone except the Zaat-e-Raheem and Rahman.

He said Hazrat Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) was the symbol of courage and firmness who gave an exemplary lesson of supporting the oppressed and expressing hatred against the oppressors that would be a beacon of light for the human beings and the freedom lovers for all times to come.

He said at present the whole Islamic World was in the grip of colonial powers that was busy in massacring Muslims all around and we would have to follow the Uswah-e-Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) to get rid of them. Maulana Arif Hussaini and Riwayat Hussain Ravi also addressed the Majlis.

A resolution unanimously adopted on the occasion expressed grave concern that the Islamic World was confronted with worst type of terrorism, desecration of Sha’a’ir-Ullah has become the order of the day, open desecration of Islamic Sha’a’ir (signs) is going on not only in Guantanamo bay but also on the Iraqi soil, holy shrine of Amirul Momineen Khalifa-tul-Muslimeen Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) has been locked as a protest owing to desecration but it is tragic that the Islamic World as well as international organisations were keeping quiet on it.

The resolution called upon all international organisations including the United Nations and ICC to arrest those immediately who are responsible for desecration of the sacred shrine of Hazrat Ali (A.S.) and give them exemplary punishment while on the contrary Islamic World is made responsible for any untoward incident.

Another resolution expressed concern that innocent people are being harassed in the garb of crackdown against banned organisations under the Anti-Terrorism Act in Pakistan while none of the culprits responsible for Bari Imam incident, that took place about 92 days ago, was arrested yet, compensation was also not paid to the bereaved families and the injured, some of the injured were still undergoing treatment in private hospitals and the government inaction on this count is condemnable.

The resolution lamented that Maktab-e-Tashayyo is being pushed to the wall under a conspiracy. The participants of the gathering made it clear that Maktab-e-Tashayyo has played equal role in building and developing the country, therefore, the President should take notice of those elements in media that are encroaching upon the rights of Maktab-e-Tashayyo. The resolution strongly demanded from the government to give equal ideological representation to Ahl-e-Tashayyo in all government departments including the media.

The first Majlis in connection with Ayyam-e-Babul Hawaij was also held at Qasr-e-Abu Talib (A.S.), Qasr-e-Khadijatul Kubra (A.S.) Tarlai Kalan, and Zain-ul-Aza.
