RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Practically following in the Seerat and Character of Imam Sadiq (A.S.) is the paramount need of the hour to deliver humanity from problems, troubles, difficulties, oppression, barbarism and earthly and heavenly catastrophes, said Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi.

In his special message marking the martyrdom anniversary of holy Prophet (SAW)'s sixth infallible successor and eighth bright moon of the sky of Ismat and Taharat Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S.) that is being observed on Friday Shawwal 15 as "Youm-e-Aza" throughout Pakistan like other global parts with religious spirit, devotion and reverence,
Agha Moosavi said heroes of Islam offered greatest sacrifices for promotion of Islam and lit the candles of acknowledging monotheism by passing through trials.

Crux of a saying of Ma'soom (A.S.) goes that many people are those who become near to heaven due to favour and piety, many people are those who are bold because their sins are hidden, many people are those who are fallen into trial owing to their good name and God has never tried any other like him by giving him respite in the world, and Allah made Iman obligatory so that a human being remains clean of polytheism, prayer so that he remain pure of haughtiness, zakat for boost in subsistence, fasting to test sincerity, jihad for honour of Islam, enjoining good for correction of people, forbidding evil to open wisdom, doing good with relatives for increase in family members, Qisas to stop bloodshed, commandment of punishments for safety of moharremaat, forbidding wine for protection of mind, commandment of refraining from theft to keep chastity safe, commandment of marriage to save lineage, commandment of refraining from evil deeds for increase in offspring, bearing witness to overcome deniers of right, non-speaking of lie for honour of truth, commandment of sending salam for security from horrible difficulties, Imamat to maintain system of ummat, and obedience to Imam has been made obligatory for dignity of office of imamat.

The TNFJ Chief Hamid Moosavi made clear that Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S.) is that great personality who fulfilled all duties of imamat in line with commandments of Allah and Prophet (SAW), and preached and promoted knowledge and deed. He said scientific principles made by Imam Sadiq (A.S.) possess status of a beacon of light for the wise.
