Mushtaq Hussain addressing the function said that Hussainiyyat is commensurate with life that is eternal death of colonialism and Yazidiyyat. Allah and Rasool (SAAW) have declared the love for Hussain (A.S.) as the central point of their love the reason of which is that Nawasa-e-Rasool Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) is that great a personality who completed the mission of all Prophets and defended the religion of Islam in a manner that no dictator could batter it till the D-Day. That is why, he said, the central point of all movements of the oppressed people whether they are in Kashmir and Palestine, in Middle East and Central Asia, Arab or Ajam, Afghani, Iranian and Lebanese is the Karbala even today. Their slogan is that only Allah is the sovereign power.

Allama Basim Abbas Zahiri in his address said, Hazrat Imam Hussain’s (A.S.) grandfather is Syed-ul-Anbia, Baba is Syed-ul-Aulia, and mother is Syeda-tun-Nisa Al-Alameen. He said the survival of the oppressed, have-nots and disturbed people only lay in Hussainiyyat.

Another resolution termed the utterances of American presidential candidate regarding attacks on Makkah, Madinah and Pakistan called it a condemnable and organised conspiracy but added that their remarks should not be ignored an unimportant as these remarks are actually reflect the colonial and Zionist designs being enforce for quiet long.

The resolution said that after occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, the colonial powers were trying to put their hand on Bait-Ullah (House of Allah), therefore, the Islamic World should adopt a consensus, strong and complete line of action and make it clear on the chief of the colonial powers and their agents that the followers of the Muslim Ummah are ready to die over the issue of respect and dignity of the holy places.

Another resolution called upon the OIC to play its role for restoring the honour and dignity of the Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moalla and dilapidated condition of the destructed holy places in Samarra instead of playing the role of silent spectators.
