RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya has announced to observe “Ayyam-e-Tarheem” from 5 to 9 Ramazan for raising the status of countrymen who were died and martyred in the 8th October earthquake.

In a statement issued here on Monday, he said all affected in the earthquake are part of our body and the martyrs are the part of our heart, and we equally share the grief of the affected and the bereaved families.

He appealed all schools of thought to organise Fateha Khwani, Quran Khwani, and Majalis-e-Taraheem for raising the status of all martyrs and pray to give patience and forbearance to the bereaved families, early recovery of the injured, restoration of the affected, compensation of the loss, protection from such havocs and for the stability of the Islamic World.

Agha Moosavi said the humanity had been facing one problem or the other right from the beginning and this process would continue till the universe exists and it has been mentioned in Quran and Ahadees regularly. Therefore, he said, Surah Al-Nazeaat says: The day shaking earthquakes and behind it another big earthquake comes, many hearts throb and their eyes become afraid (Parah-30). He said it would be the D-day when the system of the earth from within would get upset, that day neither the father would care about the son nor the son about his father.

He said Dua and Munajaat are the only source to get these havocs stopped, therefore there is a saying of the Masoom (A.S.) that goes: No doubt, Dua rejects indecent incidents and unforeseen havocs. He said the representatives of Allah always recited Duas and besides preaching the same as Duas and Munajaat consist of solid realities of the religion that could become best training Maktab and example for the men in faith.

The TNFJ chief said pray and keeping attached with Allah creates a spirit in the heart of the human being and he gains the way how to recognise his duties and follow the teachings of religion and Shariat and by doing so he becomes near to Allah and keeps himself away from evil, destruction, cyclones and earthquakes.

He said today had the human being attached himself with Allah and kept himself away from the evil then there would have been no destruction. Those who follow in the footsteps of Pharaoh and Nimroud should recall what sins they have committed that led to such a big destruction for the whole humanity. Similarly, he said in Dua-e-Kumail, it has been said: “Oh, Allah! Oh, my Lord! You had been giving me commandment but I followed the self-desire and did not protect myself from the jugglery of my enemy i.e. Satan, considered sins and lapses beautiful, he dodged me through these desires and the Qaza-i-Asmaani also helped him owing to which I used to violate some of Your commandments and committed accesses from my limits and I have diverted myself from some of Your commandments.”

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi said we have to review our self because this gory earthquake provides us a best chance for self-accountability, therefore, we should divert to Allah immediately and take refuge in Duas because Munajaat and Duas are most liked practices before Allah that are presented before Allah. Oh, Allah! Cover up my mistakes and evils and forgive me by showering Your blessings.

He said it is the ripe time to seek forgiveness of our sins and mistakes because He is the one Who is Merciful and Most Beneficent.
