RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Majalis and Matmi processions in connection with the 3-day Aza-e-Fatimiya continued throughout the country on Sunday to mark the Shahadat of Khatoon-e-Jannat Hazrat Syeda Fatima Zahra (S.A.) in line with the announcement made by Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi.

Programmes were organised by religious and Matmi organisations and religious institutions in all small and big cities, towns and villages.

In Rawalpindi, a Majlis Aza-e-Fatimiya was held at Darbar Aalia Sakhi Shah Piyara Chuhr Harpal under the auspices of Haji Syed Tanvir Hussain Kazmi, TNFJ District Aza-e-Fatimiya Committee Secretary.

Addressing the Majlis, Allama Agha Ali Hussain Najafi said the seerat of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.) is the source of guidance, fountainhead of piety and beacon of light for women at large. The international colonial powers used woman as a shield, arranged for her destruction in the name of freedom, promoted debauchery and obscenity in the garb of cultural development but Islam and Quran gave acme to the honour and dignity of woman in the shape of Fatima Zahra (S.A.). Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.) enjoys supremacy amongst all human beings after Nabi (SAW) and Ali (A.S.).

Allama Abul Hassan Taqi, TNFJ Regional Council Rawalpindi President, in his address to the Majlis said that the Holy Prophet (SAW) had said if Ali (A.S.) would not had been there then there would have been no equal to Fatima (S.A.) on earth. She was the Waliya-e-Khuda, proof of her love and friendship with Allah was only her desire for supremacy of the religion and longing for death because death is the only source of removing all hurdles for a meeting with Allah on which Quran stands witness. He said Hazrat Fatima is the best from all in the universe in every section of human life who has lost her wishes to the desires of her husband. Maulana Nasir Abbas Notak, Maulana Khadim Hussain Ghagri, Mushtaq Hussain Shah and other zakireen also addressed the Majlis.

A resolution adopted on the occasion strongly condemned the incidents of terrorism at international level and ongoing massacre of innocent people in Iraq and called upon all international organisations including the United Nations to play their role for restoration of peace in Iraq.

The resolution while terming the incidents of terrorism inability of the government expressed concern that no practical achievement was witnessed regarding Bari Imam incident, neither any culprit was arrested nor the real conspiracy was unveiled. The resolution said Bari Imam incident was first of its kind after which the rulers were keeping silence and have proved through their utterances and character that they belong to some particular sect because the President and the Prime Minister have already declared their Maslak.

The resolution while strongly condemning the gory murder of Mufti Shamsuddin in Karachi the other day termed it an open act of terrorism. The resolution demanded immediate arrest of culprits of all incidents and give them exemplary punishment, and pay compensation to the bereaved families of the Shuhada and the injured.

Addressing the second Majlis under the auspices of TNFJ District Aza-e-Fatimiya Committee at Imambargah Tarlai Kalan Islamabad, Allama Basharat Hussain Imami said that Fatima Zahra (S.A.) is the only personality throughout the universe who was brought up in the lap of Nabuwwat and Risalat that is why it had been said that Fatima (S.A.) resembled with the Rasool (SAW) the most. He said Islam designated the lap of mother as first Madrassah and human building university.

Paying tributes to Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi for announcing 3-day Aza-e-Fatimiya throughout the country, he reiterated his resolve to offer any sacrifice without any hesitation on his call.
