Majalis-e-Aza were organised by various religious and Matmi organisations in all big and small cities and towns including Rawalpindi and Islamabad that followed Matam and Pursadari. Speakers in their address at Friday congregations highlighted the Seerat-e-Tahira of Hazrat Ummul Baneen (R.A.) in the light of role of women in Islam.

TNFJ Regional Council Rawalpindi President Allama Abul Hassan Taqi addressing the main Ayyam-e-Aza concluding gathering at Jamia Masjid Shah Piyara said that sacrifices rendered by Hazrat Ummul Baneen (R.A.) in way of Islam are bright chapter of the Islamic history and her pious life is the beacon of light for women at large.

He said today Islamic World is confronted with one problem or the other and is surrounded by oppressors the world over, oppression, brutality and suppression are the order of the day, incidents of murder, arson, hooliganism are rife pitching the whole world against anarchy and differences, international colonial powers and her agents were exerting their pressure on the oppressed nations and Muslim States including Pakistan so as to achieve and protect their self-interest.

In this situation, he said, every woman and man is under the obligation to make their utterances and character coherent and transform themselves into religious and Shariati structure. He said we would have to prove through our deeds that Islam is the beacon of light, and symbol of peace and tranquillity that condemns all types of oppression, brutality and terrorism and gives commandment to remain firm on the path of justice.

A resolution adopted on the occasion declared that effective implementation of Anti-Terrorism Act was the need of the hour to root out terrorism and restore durable peace and demanded from the government to tighten noose around banned organisations and avoid harassing patriotic organisations and religious elders in the light of Presidential address to the nation on Thursday.

The resolution demanded immediate release of innocent persons arrested during the crackdown while big crocodiles of banned groups should be nabbed instead.

Condemning the London blasts, the resolution expressed concern over putting all blame on Muslims saying that Islam condemns all types of terrorism and preaches peace, tranquillity and respect and dignity of humanity.

Another resolution strongly condemned a news item published in Daily Nawa-i-Waqt Islamabad’s Friday issue for including the name of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya in the list of banned organisations terming it a ‘conspiracy’. The resolution said if the said newspaper did not clarify this news item and tender apology then legal action would be taken against it.
