By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya, Syed Hamid Moosavi has said that Hazrat Imam Muhammad Taqi (A.S.) is that great personality of Khanwada-e-Risalat who confronted all difficulties and tough time giving a practical lesson how to tackle with the tyrant rulers and dictators.

He stated this in a special message issued on the occasion of Martyrdom Anniversary of the descendant of Rasool-e-Barhaq (SAW), Hazrat Muhammad bin Ali bin Moosa (A.S.) that is being observed throughout the country on Tuesday as Youm-e-Taqwa (Day of Piety).

Agha Moosavi, the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Chief, said today Kashmir, Palestine and Iraq are undergoing aggression on the part of international colonial powers, no one is friend of the people living there, cities after cities are being rooted out, people are confronted with oppression and brutality but the so-called world organisations always kept quiet and were still doing the same, while there is a saying of the Maula-e-Kainaat (A.S.) that become enemy of the oppressor and friend of the oppressed because it is obligatory to support the oppressed.

Therefore, he said, we strongly appeal all organisations including the United Nations and the OIC to give up duplicity and play their important role in Iraq by fulfilling the norms of justice so that pullout of allied forces becomes possible and Kashmir and Palestine are liberated from Hindus and Zionists making these regions a hub of peace.

The TNFJ chief said that there is a saying of the Masoom (A.S.) that says that talking about Prophets, Messengers, Aulia, and righteous persons, remembering them and observing their days is not only worship rather has been termed expiation (kaffarah) of the sins.

He said from amongst these Aulia and righteous persons, one of the great personality, brought up of Ilham-o-Wahi, inheritor and descendant of Nabi (SAW)-o-Ali (A.S.) is Hazrat Imam Muhammad Taqi (A.S.) who bestowed to Zuhd-o-Taqwa (piety) height and acme. He said Hazrat Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) told his companion in his era that if you meet my grandson, pay my regards to him. All personalities of the Khanwada-e-Risalat (SAW) are equal irrespective of their age in line with the saying.

The Quaid-i-Millat-e-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi said that the life span of Hazrat Imam Muhammad Taqi (A.S.) spread over 25 years stands witness that he carried out great struggle for the protection of human rights, and defence of religion and Shariat rather the dictators and tyrant rulers of his era kept him under great difficulties and stress but he bore those difficulties and did not allow anyone to cause any harm to the religion and Shariat. He never bowed down before the oppressors and brutal rulers and kissed martyrdom as a punishment, he added. He said the holy shrine of Imam Muhammad Taqi (A.S.) in Kazmain Sharifain is the Marja’a-e-Khalaiq (resort for all) even today.

Presenting condolences in the Bargah-e-Risalat (SAW) on the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Muhammad Taqi (A.S.), he resolved not to accept any restriction in fulfilling their duty viz. protection of their beliefs and ideologies and defence of the religion and Shariat. We would neither bargain nor allow anyone to bargain in such matters, he declared.
