RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that the whole universe and even earth and sky rest and are settled on the basis of justice. He stated this while talking to the representative delegation of Karawan-e-Haj (Al-Islamia) that called on him at TNFJ headquarters at the head of Al-Haj Dr. Mahmood Hussain Rizvi and apprised him of difficulties and problems that are faced during Haj.

He said any society could improve only when collective justice and equality and rights and reality are restored that is why justice has been declared the basis of Islam “Do justice as it is most near to Taqwah”.

He said about the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) who was the symbol of justice, Allah Says: “Oh, Prophet! When you give any decision amongst them, then give that decision with justice”—(Surah Maida Ayah 43) and the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) said that “I have been given commandment that I give decision amongst you with justice”—(Surah Shoorah Ayah 15).

He said Haj rites are termed must for every adult, wise and well off Muslim once in life on which Holy Quran stands witness “and Haj of His Home is binding for people, on one who is well off, one who refused to do so he should keep in mind that Allah does not care about it” —(Surah Aal-e-Imran Ayah 97). This Ayah makes it clear that Haj is binding of every well off person and one who deprives himself from Haj despite being well off, this activity of his is not correct and right. There is a saying of the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) that goes: “Oh, people! Haj is binding on you, you must perform Haj”—(Sahih Muslim).

Agha Moosavi said as Pakistan came into being in the name of Islam and under the Article 2 of the Constitution, Islam has been declared official religion of Pakistan, therefore, according to the Constitution, “All citizens of the country are equal in the eyes of law and there is no distinction amongst them, and they will enjoy equal legal protection”, “every one will have the right to stick to any religion and promote it” rather “for every schools of thought, religious education for their students is termed as their right”.

But today Maktab-e-Tashayyo is completely deprived of their rights and the proof of which is that the total number of Haj Groups organized by the Government for December 2006 Haj are 189 and only 14 of them are that of Fiqh-e-Jafariya. Is this justice and fair-play? Are all citizens being given equal rights? He asked the powers that be that why that big injustice is being committed with Maktab-e-Tashayyo and why they are being deprived of their religious duty of performing Haj? That is why they had given sacrifices for creation of Pakistan on the basis of equality and were leading the march for survival, integrity, strengthening and stability of Pakistan or present themselves as advance forces for the defence of the motherland, are they do that for the reason that they love motherland Pakistan more than others or for the reason that they are peaceful citizens and give importance to unity, he asked.

He said all this including encroaching upon the rights and depriving them from their basic rights is negation of the sayings of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Islam, and Constitution.

He demanded that the powers that be should take strict notice of that situation that who is formulating such policies? Because, he added, this is not enmity with any sect or school of thought rather it is enmity with the whole nation, Millat and motherland. He said Pakistan is not a Maktabi, Maslaki State, therefore, all schools of thought should be taken care of on the basis of equality, they should be given their equal share in all departments of the government, giving them freedom to worship is the most important responsibility of the government.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Hamid Moosavi said that after the 9/11 incident the whole world was confronting with another crisis today and the biggest reason for is denial of rights, depriving the people of their basic rights and not fulfilling the norms of justice and fair-play. He made it clear that we have to make Pakistan an ideal example so that it could lead the Muslim Ummah and that could only be possible when we root out biases completely, check oppression and brutality, deal all with justice and give everyone their right on the basis of equality so that the satanic forces could not cause any harm to us and not could even create rift amongst us.

Members of the Karawan-e-Haj expressed their complete faith in the leadership of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Hamid Moosavi and paid tributes to the Markaz-e-Ahle Tashayyo - TNFJ headquarters - for their efforts for airing Haj difficulties and for resolving other national issues.

Special prays were offered for early recovery of Pakistan’s great hero and atomic scientist Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan on this occasion.
