RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that Eid-ul-Fitr is the ‘Shukrana’ (thanksgiving) of blessings of the fasting month, therefore, Eid-ul-Fitr should be observed with simplicity for showering of Allah’s blessings and avoiding any disaster.

In a special message issued on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, he said as per saying of Hazrat Ali (A.S.) Eid belongs to one whose fasts and worship Allah accepts. Similarly a day when commandment of Allah is not denied is Eid and we can turn every day into Eid by avoiding disobedience of Allah and following the Ma’aroofat and giving up Munkiraat.

Agha Moosavi said the Islamic World is observing Eid today at a time when oppression, brutality and suppression were rife all around, Kashmir and Palestine are under the grip of oppression and brutality for the last half a century, Satanic powers were not only occupying Afghanistan and Iraq rather dignity of the holiest land of Iraq where there are graves of Prophets, Messengers, Aulia and righteous people is being trampled and bloody ‘holi’ and massacre is going on there.

He lamented that the so-called human rights organisations and international organisations were playing the role of silent spectators. Owing to this disobedience, oppression and brutality, the cyclones and floods headed towards the human beings.

He said Pakistan that came into being in the name of Islam was the target of terrorism only before but now is in the grip of natural and otherwise disasters also. In this situation, he added, we should seek forgiveness for our mistakes. Taking care of the honour and dignity of Fuqra and Masakeen not only in the quake-hit areas but also in Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, and Bosnia, all philanthropists are under the obligation to cooperate with them so as to get them rid of sense of deprivation and disappointment.

The TNFJ chief said festival enjoyed utmost importance in yester nations on which Ahadis and history books stand witness. In Quran Eid has been mentioned in these words: Oh, Allah! Send a filled-in tray (Khawan) of eatables to us from the sky so that day would become Eid for those of us who were in the past and those who would come afterwards, and it would be a sign from You and shower Rizq on us and You are the best Razzaq” (Surah Maida). Allah says no doubt, I would send the tray then whosoever from amongst you would commit Kufraan-e-Nia’amat, I will send such a wrath for them which would not have been given to any other person in the world.

Mufassirin have mentioned that Hazrat Eisa promised with the Ummah that they should keep fast for 30 days and then they will be given whatever they demand. Therefore, Christians kept fast and demanded Maida (table). Hazrat Eisa on the demand of companions prayed for a tray. Allah sent a red tray kept on a white piece of cloud and sent it to the earth and it reached to the companions within no time. Hazrat Eisa started weeping on it and said, Oh, Allah! It would be declared a cause of blessing and not a cause of grief. Then he said his prayers, wept, and then recited Bismillah Khair-ur-Raziqeen, removed the piece of cloth from the tray and found a fried fish from which the oil was still coming out, there was salt besides its head and vinegar besides its tail. There were many types of vegetables and leaves, five breads (rotis): spread with oil, honey, ghee, cheese, and dried meat on them respectively. Hazrat Shamaon asked whether this meal is from here or the Hereafter. He said of the world but Allah Has created it with His particular power. Then the companions asked him to show some miracle. Then he said, oh fish, become alive by the commandment of Allah, and she became alive within time. Then he said, regain your previous position and she obeyed. The companions said, you take it first then we will take it. Hazrat Eisa said, God forbid, I will never take it rather those would take it who demanded it. They were afraid of taking it. Then he sent for the poor and those who were ill. About 1300 ate from it and the tray remained full as it was. When the patients took it, they became healthy, and the poor became rich and never gained poverty again. Those who did not take, were disappointed. That tray rose up and went out of sight. Then it kept on coming daily for 40 days with one day’s break. When it used to land, the creature used to gather around it. At last Hazrat Eisa fixed their turns as a result of which some people became proud. He then stopped such people from taking that meal on which they set on mischief. Then Allah turned 333 of these men into pigs as a punishment for denying the blessing. That proves that when any nation does not value any blessing then the awards are denied to them rather they are placed in disastrous situations.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said after 600 years of Hazrat Eisa, Zahoor-e-Hazrat Khatmi Martabat (SAW) took place enlightening the whole world.

He said if we are safe from the wrath of God then it is courtesy Muhammad (SAW), Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) and Sahaba Kubaar (R.A.). He prayed that may Allah forgive the upset humanity and keep them safe from all types of earthly and otherwise disasters, root out problems and difficulties of the Islamic World including the oppressed world and given stability, development to motherland Pakistan and peace of mind to its people.
