Moosavi on ‘Bab-ul Hawaej Day' urges to prefer human respect to end terrorism

By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Chief of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said Hazrat Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) was an embodiment of faith, deed, piety and piousness.

He made his remarks in his special message on the occasion of martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) that is being observed throughout Pakistan like other global parts as "Youm-e-Bab-ul Hawaej" with religious devotion, honor and fervor.

Agha Moosavi stressed that from amongst (adyaan wa shara'e aalam) world religions and laws, Islam has not only been termed favourite religion and law but also has been admitted as religion of peace, tranquillity and respect to humanity. It calls that person a Muslim from whose tongue and hands other Muslims remain safe, while considers that person a Momin from whom whole humanity remains safe and secure.

He made it clear that objective of sending Prophets and Messengers was protection of humanity because oppression, violence, extremism and terrorism are contrary to the teachings of Prophets and Auliyaa. 63-year life period of holy Prophet (SAW) stands witness that he always condemned every kind of oppression, violence, hatred, malice and biases, and under

Never imposed his belief and ideology on anyone forcefully, never fell prey to extremism, always avoided riot and violence, termed murder of a human being as killing of the whole humanity, and always adopted defensive strategy. He said Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) and A'immah Rashedeen (A.S.) made the same habits of Prophthood their manner.

Hazrat Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) is from among these truthful successors about whom author of Yanabi'ul Mawaddah writes that from among A'immah Ahl-e-Bait (A.S.), Abul Hassan Moosa Kazim bin Jafar Sadiq (A.S.) was righteous, worshipper, generous, clement, having high status and much knowledgeable. His title was "Abd-e-Salih", he was used to keep his holy forehead in prostration to Allah from sun rising to sun setting, and his this long prostration took place in prison.

When the Prophet of Islam (SAW) was asked about identification of Auliyaa and Saliheen, he replied that by seeing them Allah comes to minds and people adopt straight path.

Once Hazrat Moosa bin Jafar passed through a lane, voices of music and dancing were coming out, the owner of the house was from among the elites and high-ranked families, he had made for him a place of entertainment. Suddenly a maid came out of the house to throw trash, and sent salam to Imam (A.S.). Maula asked from the maid, is the resident of this house is servant or freed? She said: "freed". Masoom (A.S.) said: if he would be a servant, he would not do this deed." The maid told the man full story, who by hearing these words pondered over it, stood up from his seat, and began running after Hazrat Moosa bin Jafar (A.S.), then reaching in his respected court greeted him, expressed regrets and repented, and after that day turned his place of entertainment into a site of worship. He was used to came out of his house bare-footed by remembering this day, and at last he became known with the title "bashar hafi" (bare-footed human being). Poet of the East says:

The TNFJ chief said Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) are those holy personalities in whose words, deeds and character there was consistency. By following in the teachings of Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) we can establish a holy and pious society in the whole universe where blessings could be sent down, worries and problems can be removed and all could be sympathizers to each other. Iqbal says:

Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi said inclination to hatred, killings and violence is seen through the world regardless of Muslim and non-Muslim. To curb this, it is obligatory that preference should be given to respect of humanity, blood-shedding should be considered illegal, and regard should be given to honour of every human being because Allah says:

We have granted honour and respect to human being.

He said the biggest reason of oppression, barbarism, extremism and terrorism in the society is abandoning respect to humanity. Therefore, commandments of Allah and moderation should be kept in view in each case instead of radicalism and extremism.

Moosavi said when New York incident happened, whole world including us had condemned it and I had said at that time that evil could not be wiped out by evil, and similarly the terrorism, rather evil could be erased through good and justice.

He said Allah says good and evil are not equal, respond good to the evil then you will see that you and your enemy will became as close friends. Quran describes characteristics of believers in this way that they are those who suppress anger. A saying of holy Prophet (SAW) goes that all created beings are family of Allah, that person is most favourite who does good with His family - created beings.

Moosavi said this day Allah's family is in the grip of oppression, barbarism and terrorism, blood is being shed in Kashmir and Palestine., massacre is continued in Afghanistan and Iraq, dignity of Sha'a'er-Ullah is being trampled while Uswah-e-Muhammad (SAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) teaches us adoption of path of moderation, forgiveness, clemency and toleration.

He made clear that Chief of Prophets, head of Khanwada-e-Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) always gave lesson of justice, moderation, patience, goodness and welfare. That is why Maulana Zafar Ali Khan said:

Presenting condolence and consolation on the martyrdom of the seventh successor of holy Prophet (SAW), Moosa bin Jafar (A.S.), Moosavi reiterated his resolve to keep continue hatred against oppression and barbarism, and practical struggle for supporting the oppressed. Also, would spend all our energies for restoring justice and fair-play.
