RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The martyrdom anniversary of Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) will be observed from 19-21 Ramazan as ‘Ayyam-e-Aza’ (Mourning Days) throughout the country like other global parts with devotion and respect as announced by Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi.

An important meeting of the TNFJ Central Ayyam-e-Aza Committee was held here on Friday in this connection. Convener Dr. Iqbal Javed Haideri presided over the meeting in which conveners for Federal Capital Islamabad, Azad Kashmir, Northern Areas and all the four provinces were appointed.

Dr. Haideri in his address on the occasion said, Majalis-e-Aza will be held and Taboot processions will be taken out during the Ayyam-e-Aza. The pious life of Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) is the best example to follow for human beings all over the world without any discrimination while love for Ali (A.S.) is the condition of faith because religion of Islam was completed on the announcement of Wilayat-e-Ali.

He said Ali Al-Murtaza (A.S.) fulfilled his right extending help to the Paighamber (SAW) in preaching and protecting Islam. He displayed extraordinary performance in all fields of life such as bravery, generosity, social life, and morality for which one could not find any match in history. He said even today the name of Ali (A.S.) is the sign of victory in every field and death of oppression, brutality, and suppression.

He demanded from the government to take concrete practical steps to improve the law and order situation in the country on the occasion of Ayyam-e-Aza and make special arrangements for light, cleanliness and security during Majalis-e-Aza and Matmi processions while people should themselves keep an eye on the miscreants.

A resolution unanimously adopted at the meeting expressed deep grief and sorrow on the earthquake on October 8 and prayed for high status for those countrymen who were martyred in this tragedy, early recovery of the injured, early settlement of the affected, rooting out of all problems and difficulties faced by the Islamic World, solution of problems, and success of independence movements of all oppressed and have-nots including that of Kashmir and Palestine.

It paid tributes to all national and foreign relief teams and religious, political and social organisations including the Pakistan’s armed forces that are extending help to the affected. It also lauded the efforts of the TNFJ Relief Committee for the Earthquake Affected.
