ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: A protest led by Mukhtar Organizations
Pakistan (MO)’s central president Dr. S.Z.Naqvi was staged in
front of United Nations office at Saudi Pak Tower in Islamabad
on Monday.
The protest was held in connection with
“Ashra-e-Sadiq-e-Aal-e-Muhammad (Shawwal 15-25, Nov 8 – 18)
which is being observed on the call of
Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Hamid Moosavi to mark the
martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (AS). The
participants raised their voice against demolition of holy
shrines at the hands of Aal-i-Saud and strongly stressed on
all international organizations including the United Nations
to play their effective role for reconstruction of cemeteries
of Al-Baqee and Al-Moalla in the holy cities of Medinah and
Makkah respectively.
On this occasion, the secretary-general of MO Syed Wajih0ul
Hasan Kazemi presented to the UN representative a written
memorandum addressed to the UN secretary-general Kofi Annan.
Full text of the memorandum is:
“The Secretary General
United Nations Organization
Assalamu Alaikom
A vital postulate of the charter of United Nations was to
protect and preserve the archeological monuments throughout
the world which certainly are the common heritage of whole
mankind
Since its inception, United Nations is the only hope and prop
of the world of humanity; therefore efforts to make the world
a hub of peace and achievement of rights for the oppressed and
have-nots is its topmost objective.
Through this resolution, we want to remind you about the
biggest cruelty which was committed at the hands of Aal-i-Saud
in 1924 - demolition of Janna-tol Moalla (cemetery of Moalla
in the holy city of Makkah) and Janna-tol Baqi (cemetery of
Baqi in the holy city of Medinah) where greatest personalities
including the beloved daughter of Prophet of Islam (peace be
upon him and his pure progeny) Hazrat Fatimah Zahra, her
progeny Hazrat Imam Hasan, Hazrat Imam Zain-ul Abidin, Hazrat
Imam Muhammad Baqir and Hazrat Imam Jafar Sadiq (peace be upon
them all) and whose martyrdom anniversary is being
commemorated on the call of Quaid-e-Millat-e-Jaffariya Agha
Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, from 15th to 25th Shawal i.e. 8th
to 18 of November 2006, as Ashra-e-Sadiq-e-Aal-e- Muhammad,
are buried besides Ommaha-tol Mo'minin (wives of prophet of
Islam) and pious companions (may Allah be please with them).
Please note that Muslims have only two established sects one
of them is Tasanun (Followers of Fiqh-e-Hanafiya and the other
one is Tashiyoh (the followers of Fiqhe-e-Jaffariya by Imam
Jaffar-e-Sadiq A.S). You will be astonished to hear that Imam
Jaffar-e-Sadiq (A.S) is that great scholar and teacher of the
history of mankind who produced renowned scientists, ulemaas,
and scholars by his teachings and trainings. Many famous
scientists of Chemistry like Jabir Bin Hayan, Hasham bin al
Hakam, Momin Taaq, Zarrara, Abu Baseer, Muhammad bin Muslim,
Noman Bin Sabit (Imam Abu Hanifa), and Imam Malik bin Ans are
some of the examples of his students. Along with the shrine of
such a great personality, the shrines of other holy and
respected personalities were not only demolished and destroyed
by Saudi Government but their visitation and paying tributes
to these great personalities was also declared forbidden,
which is a cruel and most condemnable act.
From past prophets to the Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him
and his pure progeny) and from the Prophet (peace be upon him
and his pure progeny) to Othmania Saltanate, magnificent holy
shrines existed on these graves, and the whole human world was
honored by their visitation (because these holy personalities
are seen with utmost respect by the human world) but
Aal-e-Saud demolished these shrines as well as the signs
attributed to these holy personalities, and this is being done
to-date.
We have been raising voice of protest since a quarter century
for reconstruction of Janna-tol Baqi and Janna-tol Moalla and
restoration of their past glory and this would continue till
these holy shrines are rebuilt and their past glory is
restored.
For God sake, get this oppression stopped, Janna-tol Baqi and
Janna-tol Moalla rebuilt, and get the holy cities of Makkah
and Medinah declared international cities so that the world of
humanity could visit these holy personalities with ease.
Whereas UNESCO ensures protection of archeological monuments
throughout the world, why it has not given attention to Janna-tol
Baqi and Janna-tol Moalla which keep the joint heritage of
entire humanity? Islam is against violence and coercion; there
is patience and forbearance in Islam.
We strongly hope that you will not only respond us rather
would make world of humanity grateful by playing your role for
reconstruction of Janna-tol Baqi and Janna-tol Moalla taking
action on our sincere and concerned requests.
