RAWALPINDI: Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya has said that all conspiracies of enemies of religion and the motherland could be thwarted by being laced with the strong weapon of knowledge.

He was talking to a representative delegation of Tanzim-ul Madaris Jafariya, Pakistan that called on him at the head of Hojjatul Islam wal Muslimeen Aqai Syed Hussain Muqaddasi here at Tehreek headquarters on Sunday.

He said international Taghoot and its chief desires to snatch our biggest weapon - knowledge - to dominate her control to rule over the Muslim and the oppressed nations. For this purpose, she terms Muslims as terrorists and sometime as fundamentalists, playing ‘holi’ with the blood of Muslims for the last 50 years, keeping her presence in Afghanistan and Iraq, shedding the Muslim blood profusely, and is continuously threatening Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia. He said when you keep faith in Allah

then no international Taghoot would interfere in our countries and would not have the courage to desecrate holy places, Mashaheer-e-Islam and Quran.

Agha Moosavi said religious schools are the source of knowledge, therefore, Taghoot desires to take complete control over the same but the Muslim rulers were dancing to the tune of international Taghoot so as to keep their rule intact. Pakistan came into being in the name of Islam but like other Makatib, the rights of the Maktab-e-Tashayyo are also being encroached upon here, innocent citizens, students and even innocent children are being beaten up and threatened. Does Islam allow all this non-sense and had Pakistan came into being for this purpose?

The TNFJ chief said that all forces should keep in mind that we have always given priority to the respect of humanity, dignity of the motherland and supremacy of the religion over all other things. Therefore we strongly demand from President Musharraf to get the atrocities of the Administration stopped in Northern Areas.

He said

use of force is not allowed in the religion and no one could be forced to adopt the belief of the others or seek education of any other belief. Under the May 21, 2005 agreement it was decided that justice would be done to the Maktab-e-Tashayyo like other Makatib, therefore, the ongoing encroachment of rights in Northern Areas should be stopped forthwith.

He made it clear in unequivocal terms that the brightest and obvious path is only Islam basis of which are declared knowledge and wisdom.

Quran and Ahadis stand witness that how Islam stressed on seeking knowledge. From among these is:

He said as Islam is deliverer not only for any particular area, sect, group and tribe but for the whole humanity, therefore it has been said

seek knowledge from the cot to the grave

In this connection there is no restriction of being a Muslim or non-Muslim or that of time rather commandment is to seek knowledge from birth to death. He said no area has been earmarked for this purpose and it has been said

seek knowledge even you have to go to China

He said for Muslims, seeking of knowledge has been declared obligatory without any condition of gender,

as all small, big, men and women should achieve knowledge. Seek knowledge from anyone and from wherever possible.

He said another Hadis says

Achieve truth whether it is with Ahl-e-Batil (people of evil) and do not adopt evil whether it is with Ahl-e-Haq (people of truth), analyse the right things yourself that to what extent it is correct because your have been blessed with the wisdom and made the super most creature.

Now the question is which knowledge is to be sought, every Maktab considered its meaning according to their own thinking and ideology considering that it is necessary to achieve it but from the Islamic point of view a human being has to ponder over about his duties and due responsibilities; Rights of Allah, Rights of People. One should must seek every knowledge that is necessary for fulfilling these rights.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Syed Hamid Moosavi said Islam is that greatest religion that gives commandment of education in an Islamic society that is based on honour and dignity, that is laced with independence, freedom, patience and forbearance, that has faith in itself. Islam does not desire the followers of Islam to be at the mercy of anyone else, extend their hand in front of anyone and seek alms, loan, or charity. Quran stands witness on it.

Allah never desires Taghooti control over Muslims because it hates oppression, it came into being to root out oppression and restore justice and fair-play. For this purpose Prophets and Messengers were sent, benefiting from whose teachings we could not only root out oppression, brutality and exploitation rather the whole world could be turned into a hub of peace.
