ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - November 09: Syed Shujaat Ali Bokhari, Additional Secretary General of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan has said that Thinker of Pakistan Allama Muhammad Iqbal was such a messiah who blessed the Muslims of the subcontinent by presenting the concept of a separate motherland on the basis of Two-Nation Theory and unity of the Ummah could be made possible even today by implementing the Afkaar-e-Iqbal who has ideologically trained the Ummah and the Muslim that was consider the pile of ash by Iqbal, but has now made lightening changes in his thought and deeds.

He stated this while addressing the Iqbal Day function held under the auspices of Pakistan Society at Al-Murtaza Islamabad.

Shujaat Bokhari said Allama Iqbal was the true devotee of the Rasool (SAW) and Muhibb-e-Ahle Bait (A.S.) that is evident from his work. He lamented that the Poet of the East had declared the earth of Madinah and Najaf the most sacred, the holy shrines of that Wali-e-Madinah (SAW)’s daughter Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.), Ummahat-ul-Momineen (R.A.), Ahle Bait Atahaar (A.S.) and about five hundred Sahaba Kubaar (R.A.) had been bulldozed.

He said the whole Muslim Ummah would lodge a protest on Shawal 8 in memory of Inhidaam-e-Jannatul Baqee (Demolition of Al-Baqee Cemetery) and like the whole world, Youm-e-Inhidaam-e-Jannatul Baqee will be observed throughout the country on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi with devotion and respect to pay condolences to Rasool-e-Maqbool (SAW) on the Shahadat of shrines of his near and dear ones.

He said the honour and dignity of the historic graveyards of Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moalla is recognised by Quran and Hadis and are considered Sha’a’ir-Ullah. If the government, religious and political circles and the media did not give importance to the issue of Jannatul Baqee and if no attention was given to the reconstruction and restoration of the dignity of the holy shrines of holiest religious personalities then everyone would have to be ready to face more problems and difficulties.

He made it clear that the peaceful protest of Youm-e-Inhidaam-e-Jannatul Baqee is not against any singular person or a country rather its objective is to highlight the signs of the great personalities of Islam and carrying out practical struggle for the reconstruction of their shrines and this struggle, he added, would continue till the restoration of the same with dignity.

The TNFJ Additional Secretary demanded from the government to make effective steps to improve the law and order situation throughout the country on Shawal 8 while media should give full coverage to the main gatherings and Matmi processions to be taken out on this occasion.
