RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said humanity could be delivered of difficulties and host of problems by practically following the sayings and teachings of holy Prophet (SAWW) and his holy successors (AS).

He stated this in a special message marking the auspicious occasion of Jashan-e-Rasool (SAW) and Imam Sadiq (AS) that is being observed on Friday throughout Pakistan like other global parts in connection with the Universal Hafta-e-Wahdat-o-Akhuwwat (Week of Unity and Freternity) with religious spirit and enthusiasm.

Terming the release of British sailors by brethren Islamic State Iran as a sound step, Agha Moosavi said all countries should follow her and should resolve all issues with patience, forbearance and forgiveness.

He stressed President Pervez Musharraf to immediately withdraw reference against Chief Justice Iftikhar Chauhdry in order to get rid of ongoing judicial crisis and to save the dignity of the motherland. He advised to adopt policy of mutual understanding for ascendancy of the constitution, supremacy of the religion and increase of the stateliness of the motherland, so that it could be made clear to the whole world that Islam is not only the envoy of unity and brotherhood rather messenger of peace and harmony which considers every kind of oppression and injustice a big sin strongly condemning it.

The TNFJ chief said Dana-e-Kul Khatmur Rusul (SAWW) bore countless problems and difficulties in promoting and spreading religion and shariah but displayed matchless patience. Quoting a saying of Maula-e-Kaenaat Hazrat Ali (AS) that only a tolerant and enduring person succeeds whether it is too late, he said a human being should have forbearance and patience to meet success; though it is bitter but its fruit is sweet. A Persian adage is that if you show patience you could make jam even with unripe grapes. Patience has been given the status of worship therefore holy Prophet (SAWW) that patience and forbearance which is unparalleled in the human history. His 63-year life span stands witness that he always condemned biases and did not commit aggression because it is commensurate with riot, oppression, barbarism and extremism. Holy Prophet (SAW) appointed holy personalities A’immah Huda (AS) for protection and defense of religion and shariah. Recognizing these holy personalities is obligatory like knowing the prophet. He said there goes a saying of Masoom (AS) that one who dies in a state that he does not recognize imam of his time, he dies a death of ignorance. A’immah Huda (AS) were singular with respect to praiseworthy traits and were an embodiment of knowledge, piety and holiness. One of them was Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (AS) who is eighth Masoom (infallible) and sixth imam. He was born on Rabi-ul Awwal 17. his father Hazrat Imam Muhammad Baqir (AS) was the eye witness of Karbala Tragedy and his respected mother was Fatima bint Qasim bin Muhammad bin Abi Bakar who was placed on the highest pedestal of piousness in her era. Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (AS) faced 11 dictators of his age among them were Abdul Malik bin Marwan, Walid bin Abdul Malik, Salman bin Abdul Malik, Omar bin Abdul Aziz, Hasham bin Abdul Malik, Yazid bin Abdullah, Yazid bin Walid, Marwan bin Muhammad, Abul Abbas Safah and Mansur Dawanqi.

Imam Sadiq (AS) highlighted Shariat-e-Mustafawi in such a manner that the Mustafawi period came to the mind of people, and the world of humanity reaped full benefit of it. By establishing Hoza Ilmiyah, the Imam (AS) lit the lamps of guidance like Hasam, Zarara, Muhammad bin Muslim, the four A’immah i.e. Abu Hanifa, Shafei, Maliki and Hambal, and Jabir bin Hayan from whom whole humanity is getting gain.

Agha Moosavi said a man from Shahan Jabal was used to come every year to Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (AS) on the occasion of Hajj, he kept a special devotion for Imam (AS). Once when he was about to leave for Makkah for Ziarat of Baitullah, he presented ten thousand dirham to Imam (AS) saying him to purchase a home for him in Medina. After Hajj he returned to Imam (AS) and said: may I be ransom to you o the son of Prophet! Have you purchased a house for me? Imam (AS) said it is registry of your house. When he opened it, he saw the writing: “With the name of Allah the Most Merciful, Most Compassionate; this is registry of the house which is purchased by Jafar ibne Muhammad (AS) for Shahan Jabali and it is in the HEAVEN, around it reside the holy Prophet (SAWW) and Ahle Bait-e-Atahaar (AS).” Going through the registry he became very happy and said may I ransom you Imam (AS) I agree. Imam told him that the money which he had given to the Imam (AS) for house purchase, Imam (AS) had distributed it to that and that needy.
After this he returned to home Jabal with the house registry. Later, he became ill and on his death bed he called his relatives; made his will and said the registry given by the imam (AS) must be put in his shroud. For performing this deed he put his relatives under an oath. Therefore, after his death his relatives fulfilled the promise and put the registry in his shroud and shut the grave. The next day, when the relatives went to his grave for offering fatiha, they saw the registry on the grave with the words: Wali-Ullah Jafar ibne Muhammad (AS) has fulfilled his promise.”

Agha Moosavi said as Khatmi Martabat (SAWW) had said he would never abandon preaching of religion and shariah even if moon is put on his one hand and the sun on the other, similarly his truthful successor Imam Sadiq (AS) bore every kind of sufferings but told to the world of oppression that we could not be pushed back from the path of truth like our forefathers.

He quoted a saying of Sadiq-e-Aal-e-Muhammad (AS) that six groups will be ruined because of six practices: rulers due to oppression, nations because of biases, farmers for self-complacent, traders for fraud, ignorant for silliness and ulema and fuqaha for envy. Then said best human being is he who when performs good becomes happy, when commits sin asks forgiveness, when gets blessing thanks, show patience on suffering and forgives when he oppressed.

Agha Moosavi reiterated his resolve on the auspicious occasion of Jashan-e-Sadeqain (AS) that interests of Islam, Pakistan and people will be given preference.
