RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Majalis and Matmi processions in connection with Ashra-e-Beemar-e-Karbala (15-25 Muharram) being observed on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi continued on the seventh day.

Hojjatul Islam Allama Muhammad Haleemi addressing a Majlis-e-Aza organised under the auspices of Hay’at Tulaba-e-Islamia said Hazrat Imam Sajjad (A.S.) taught the human beings way how to confront brutality. By shedding tears of blood, he made the evil forces admit that his father Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) stayed for righteousness because when he saw the dark clouds of ignorance all around, he rose against oppression and altered all he had and accepted to get his head chopped in Sajdah-e-Khaliq but did not bow down before the evil forces. He said after Imam Hussain’s (A.S.) Shahadat, Imam Sajjad (A.S.) delivered heart-rending khutbaat in the streets of Kufa and Shaam that shattered the evil forces.

Allama Haleemi said that when Imam Sajjad (A.S.) returned to Madinah after being set free, one day he was sitting at his place when a veiled person came to the Imam (A.S.) and said that I am hungry and thirsty, please help me. He fed him with water and meal and when he finished, he said Oh, the Imam of the time you did not recognise me and had you recognised me, you did not have treated me well rather you may have killed me. Imam Zainul Abideen (A.S.) said, Oh, Shaikh, I treated you well after recognising you as you are Hasseen bin Numair the murderer of my brother Ali Akbar (A.S.). When he asked why he hosted him well, the Imam (A.S.) said that in Karbala, we were your guests and here you are our guest. He said this was the style of Ali’s (A.S.) grandson who fed his murderer with soft drink. The oswah of Imam Zainul Abideen (A.S.) gives practical lesson of dealing with the enemy decently. Matamdari followed the Majlis.

A resolution adopted unanimously on the occasion strongly condemned the Zionist designs of razing the Al-Aqsa mosque and American threats of attacking Iran and called upon the Muslim rulers to come out of deep slumber and launch a joint practical struggle for solution of problems faced by the Islamic World.

The resolution said that Muslim Ummah is unbearable for the atheists from the day one and international gangsters were following the heinous plan to divide Muslims into pieces in their own States, terrorism has become the order of the day, the oppressed people of Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon were already undergoing oppression and now it is new offence against them, Israeli monsters are getting ready to raze the Al-Aqsa Mosque to ground and in this situation, if the Islamic World did not carry out a joint struggle then it would be the turn of all Muslim States, one by one.

Another resolution while strongly condemning the blast at Islamabad Airport demanded probe into all incidents of terrorism in the Federal Capital and Sarhad Province and giving exemplary punishment to the culprits forthwith.

A Majlis for ladies was held at Jamia-tul-Murtaza under the auspices of Anjuman Dukhtran-e-Islam. Mufakkira-e-Islam Syeda Binte Ali Moosavi addressed while Abeela, Nazimah and Nighat Kazmi performed Marsia Khwani.

Renowned ulema and zakireen addressed a Majlis-e-Aza held at Darbar Sakhi Shah Jehan Badshah Shah Dee Tahlian Committee Chowk Rawalpindi.

Earlier, a Zuljinah and Alam procession was taken out from the residence of Syed Shahid Abbas Kazmi that terminated at Darbar Shah Dee Tahlian after marching through its designated route.
