ISLAMABAD, July 14: Programmes of “Universal Ayyam-e-Azmat-e-Niswan” as per announcement of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi in connection with the Wiladat Purnoor of Bint-e-Payambar Hazrat Syeda Fatima Zahra (S.A.) began throughout the country on Thursday.

Mahafil-e-Milad, conferences, seminars and joyous functions were organized by different religious organizations and institutions in all small and big cities and towns of the country including Federal Capital Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

Allama Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi addressing a function organized at Markazi Imambargah G-2 Islamabad under the auspices of Nayyar Abbas said, from amongst the world religions, Islam is that singular religion that guarantees Azmat-e-Niswan. Islam placed woman on the pedestal of honour and blessings giving the obsolete customs of the time of ignorance and placed heaven beneath her feet as a mother. He said the personality of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.) in her capacity as a daughter, as a wife and as a mother of women at large is an ideal one.

Zaidi lamented that materialistic and pleasure-loving western colonialists used woman as an advertisement by raising the misguiding slogan of women rights and auctioned the chastity and holiness of woman by labeling obscenity, nudity, as freedom and development. If the total freedom loving women desire to gain an honourable and dignified place in society then they would have to follow the teachings of Batool (S.A.) who preached them the method of following Islamic principles and commandments that are a source of guidance for women at large in every era. He said the arrival of Hazrat Fatima (S.A.) brought spring in Gulshan-e-Risalat and Allah bestowed a tough reply in the shape of Hazrat Fatima to the enemies of the Holy Prophet (SAW).

Maulana Ashiq Hussain Nasir, addressing a special function of Ayyam-e-Azmat-e-Niswan organized by TNFJ Local Council Hussainabad said that Azmat-e-Fatima is actually a solid proof of Azmat-e-Niswan without which woman could not achieve laurels because Islam gave an equal status to woman like a man in her capacity as a human being and declared Zuhd-o-Taqwah as the only standard of supremacy. Women would have to follow the pious uswah of Khatoon-e-Jannat Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.) to restore their lost glory.

A Mehfil-e-Azmat-e-Niswan was held at Ali Hall under the auspices of Hay'at Tulaba-e-Islamia. Maulana Syed Tabassum Abbas Kazmi addressing the gathering highlighted the various aspects of Seerat-e-Fatima and declared it the best and complete example for women at large to follow.

A resolution adopted on the occasion strongly demanded from the government to make special security arrangements during the Ayyam-e-Azmat-e-Niswan being held all over the country. The resolution called upon the media officials to give visible coverage to Ayyam-e-Azmat-e-Niswan programmes.

Another resolution while strongly condemning Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Gaza termed it an open act of terrorism and inhuman activity. The resolution called upon the international organizations to play their role in stopping the aggressive colonial activities against the oppressed and Muslim States and the massacre of innocent citizens.

While announcing commitment to fully follow every line of action given by the Markaz-e-Tashayyo Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya for achieving religious rights and promoting and protecting the mission of ‘Wila’ and ‘Aza’, another resolution made it clear that the workers of Hay'at Tulaba-e-Islamia would work as an advanced party at every phase of sacrifice.

A Mehfil was held at Imambargah Zainul Abideen under the auspices of TNFJ District Rawalpindi. District President Al-Haj Ghulam Murtaza Chauhan, Maulana Tabassum Kazmi, Zakir Afsar and others addressed. Qasaid and Manqabat were also presented in Bargah-e-Syeda on this occasion.
