RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya, has said that Hazrat Imam Hassan Askari (A.S.) was refulgent moon of sky of Imamat and Walayat, the defender and protector of Afkaar-e-Nabawi and Murtazvi (thoughts of Prophet and Ali), and spokesman of religion and Shariah.

He stated this while announcing to observe May 19 (10th Rabi-us-Sani) as ‘Youm-e-Askari’ (Askari Day) in connection with the auspicious birth anniversary of Imam Hassan Askari (A.S.). He said the life span of Imam Askari (A.S.) spread over 28 years stands witness that big-to-big Taghoot and aggressor could not push him back or bend him. Uswah-e-Imam Hassan Askari (A.S.) is the best example to follow for solution of all problems being faced by the Muslim World.

Agha Moosavi said Khanwada-e-Ahle Bait-e-Atahaar (A.S.) enjoys supremacy amongst all Khanwadas (families) of the universe with regard to honour and dignity on which Quran and Sunnah also stand witness. Ismat and Taharat (infallibility and cleanness) of this Khanwada (family) is such that on it Ayah-e-Tataheer is certificate:

He added that similarly their Jood-o-Sakha (munificence and generosity) is such that an Ayah of Surah-e-Dahr gives evidence:

They are loved by God and the Holy Prophet (SAW) so much that their love has been declared obligatory and considered as Ajr-e-Nabuwwat and Risalat:

And they are such heavy that there is a saying of the Holy Prophet (SAW) that I am leaving two valuable things amongst you, if you remained attached with them you would never be misled after me. One of them is Quran that is like a string hanging from the sky to the earth, the other things is my offspring Ahle Bait, these two would not separate from each other unless reach me at the Pond of Kausar. (Sahih Tirmizi, vol. 5, page 329, Hadis 3876, published by Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut).

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Syed Hamid Moosavi said that Maula-e-Kainaat Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) says that Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) are sharer of holy Prophet (SAW)’s secrets, abode of Rasool (SAW)’s orders, trusted place of Rasool (SAW)’s knowledge, refuge of wisdom of Risalat, and are like mountain for protection of His books and His religion who straightened the bowed down back of the world and removed the shivering-ness in hands of Islam.

He appealed to the nation to pay homage to this infallible personality on the auspicious occasion of Youm-e-Askari and express complete solidarity with the oppressed and have-nots who have become the target of oppression, suppression and brutality by presenting greetings to the Chief of Prophets and Messengers (SAW).

Meanwhile, TNFJ Central Committee has been formed to organise programmes for Youm-e-Askari. Dr. S.M. Rizvi has been nominated Convener and Haider Abbas Bajwa as Secretary of this Committee.
