The importance and significance of knowledge of a’daad (figures) is crystal clear to every conscientious person and from amongst them one adad (figure) is Arbaeen (40) and its crux (maddah) is Ruba’a. Al-Ruba’a, Arba’a, Rabea’a have been used at 18 places and Arbaeen at four following places in Quran.
(Surah Baqarah Ayah 51) and when We promised Moosa 40 nights to send Torah.
(Surah Maida Ayah 26) No doubt, that earth has been declared haraam on them for 40 years and they will use to hit their head on earth. (Surah A’araaf Ayah 142) and We promised Moosa of 30 nights and completed the same with ten more, thus the duration of your God has become 40 nights.

(Surah Ahqaaf Ayah 15) We have given commandment to human being to do good to his parents and his mother kept him in her abdomen in pain and delivered in pain, remaining in abdomen and giving up mother’s milk is spread over 23 months so much so that he gained his strength and reached 40 years.

This talk of figures is Arbaeen in holy Quran. It may be that on that basis Dana-i-Kull, Khatam-ur-Rusl Sardar-e-Ambia (SAWW) had announced his prophethood in the age of 40 years.

There is a saying of the Holy Prophet (SAWW) that one who would perform good deeds for 40 mornings with sincerity of purpose, Allah would issue intelligence and wisdom on his heart and tongue (Safeena-tul-Bahar).

There is a saying of Hazrat Moosa ibne Jafar (A.S.) that
(Arbaeen Shaikh Bahai) one from my Ummat memorizes 40 Ahadees, the one that are sought after by people in connection with performing religious rites, Allah would turn him faqih and scholar on the Day of Judgement.

Similarly, the supremacy and importance of the figure Ashra (10) is also crystal clear as this figure is mentioned at 16 places in Quran in different manner, two of which are as follows. (Surah Baqarah Ayah 196) (Surah Fajar Ayah 2) By Fajar and 10 nights.

That is why Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya has announced to observe universal Ashra-e-Aseeran-e-Karbala from 11 Safar to Arbaeen-e-Hussaini and the heroes of Caravan of Aseeran-e-Karbala are Zainab (S.A.) and Zainul Abideen (A.S.).

Khateeb-e-Aal-e-Muhammad Allama Azhar Hassan Zaidi who loved the Markaz-e-Tashayyo - TNFJ – much, who had presided over the Dina Convention in which, according to Akhbar-e-Jehan Magazine, more than five lakh people from Gawader to Parachinar, from Karachi to Kashmir and Northern Areas had participated, and who was granted the title of “Khateeb-e-Aal-e-Muhammad” by holy personalities, had used to say during his address that there would have been no Islam had Hussain (A.S.) not been there:

                 

But we would like to say that Hussain (A.S.) and Islam would not have been there had Zainab (S.A.) and Zainul Abideen (A.S.) not been there. These personalities defended the religion and Shariat of grandfather (SAWW) and Hussainiyaat through their heart-rending speeches and sermons in the streets of Kufa and Shaam and in the courts of Yazid and Ibne Ziad without any fear shattering the foundations of Yazidi palaces and making Yazidiyyat of every era fearsome of Hussainiyyat. Hussainiyyat is commensurate with religion, Shariat, human dignity that considers causing any harm to human being a great sin.

Arbaeen-e-Hussaini is the great memory of bravery of those who kissed martyrdom for supremacy of mankind in the desert of Karbala and is the day of honour and dignity of the personality who defended the human rights with sincerity of purpose and who provided a concrete foundation of independence and freedom by offering his sacrifice along with his 72 loyal near and dear ones and accepted the detention of those great women of Khanwada-e-Ismat and Taharat whose voice was not even heard by anyone before, and set up such Hussaini Front called “Majalis-e-Aza” that would remain intact till eternity to check oppression and brutality.

That is why the TNFJ has announced that our mourning would continue till the martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Imam Hassan Askari (A.S.) while our protest - Azadari - would continue till the Zahoor of Hazrat Imam Mahdi (A.S.).

Sani-e-Zahra Syeda Zainab (S.A.) and Syed-us-Sajideen Hazrat Imam Zainul Abideen (A.S.) by defending the blood of martyrs of Karbala and by becoming the spokespersons of religion, Sharait and Hussainiyyat, has established a high example for the have-nots and the oppressed that is a beacon of light for those who are seeking independence and freedom in Kashmir, Palestine and elsewhere.

When Yazid (L.A.) released the Ahle Bait-e-Ismat and Taharat from detention then he sent Bashir, who was a devotee of the holy family, along with Ahle Bait Atahaar (A.S.) to Madinah and he led the caravan of Aseeran-e-Karbala with care, first to Karbala. It has been stated that when this caravan reached Karbala, it was the day of Arbaeen, and Sahabi-e-Rasool Hazrat Jabir ibne Abdullah Ansari (R.A.) was present there before hand. A hue and cry was raised, earth shook, the sky shattered, Ahle Bait-e-Atahaar (A.S.) reached the Maqtal-e-Shuhada shedding tears and mourning voices “haye Hussain...” were being raised from all around and when the Sani-e-Zahra (S.A.) reached the grave of his brother (A.S.) she embraced the grave straight away and the courageous and greatest woman of Karbala, daughter of Haider-e-Karrar (A.S.) fainted. In short, she was not leaving the grave of Hussain (A.S.); tears were rolling down her cheek. Syed-us-Sajideen (A.S.) came to her and said, Phoopi Amman, we have to go to Madinah, then the Sani-e-Zahra (S.A.) said, “O, the earth of Karbala, I hand over this Noor-e-Ilahi which is a source of achieving blessings of this world and the hereafter as a trust to you”, and then this caravan set out for Madinah.

Today, the whole world of humanity is obliged to Hazrat Zainab (S.A.) and Hazrat Zainul Abideen (A.S.). Satanic forces laced with all types of weapons are set out to root out the labour done by Zainab (S.A.) and Zainul Abideen (A.S.). First, they committed blasphemy by getting the blasphemous images published in newspapers and then they grieved the whole humanity by sponsoring bomb attacks on the holy mausoleum of great personalities of the same holy family - Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi (A.S.) and Hazrat Imam Hassan Askari (A.S.) – in Iraq’s city of Samarra, but it is Moosavi’s commitment with standard of Abbas in one hand and Quran in the other, i throw a challenge to the every satanic power to utilise all their resources, they could finish us, wipe out our name but could not bow down the Islamic World or suppress the oppressed nations or wipe out Islam.
