Special Message of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi
marking ‘International Jashan-e-Murtazvi’
In connection with Wiladat Purnoor
Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.)

Allah Says that O, Momineen! Accept the invitation given by Allah and Rasool for whatever work it is for and Rasool gives you invitation to carry out such work “Religion” that makes you alive, this proves that the great religion i.e. Islam gives a new lease of life to human beings. Whereas the religion gives us a new lease of life, it also imposes some obligations on us. The biggest obligation is to keep the religion alive because it has bestowed life on us, therefore, the thing around which our life revolves, makes us obligatory to protect and defend it.
 
Prophet’s job is to deliver the religion and Wasi (deputy)’s job is to protect the religion and provide protection to it. That is why, the inheritor of the Rehmatul Lil Alameen (SAAW), Maula-e-Kainaat Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) utilised all his energy to keep the religion alive.
 
Therefore, in his sermon which was perhaps his last sermon, he praising his sincere persons said that they kept the religion alive and looked after it well. Ali (A.S.) was standing on the stone that was placed there by Ja’adah Bin Habeerah. Ali (A.S.) was wearing the Soof’s gown and the case of his sword and the Na’alain were made of dates’ branches on which he stood up and delivered that great sermon in a manner that the participants in the crowd were shedding tears. In the end remembering his friends he said where are my friends who were the followers of the right path, they followed the righteous path and left this world remaining on the righteous path, where is Ammar Yasir, where is Abu Al-Hasheem, where are Khazeema Bin Sabit and Zul Al-Shahadatain. Then taking a long breath he said where are my companions who pondered over on his religious obligations, performed the same, kept the Sunnat-e-Nabavi alive and rooted out the evils.
 
Maula-e-Kainaat (A.S.) termed the persons like this as the ‘Zindakunandgan-e-Sunnat’. By this we came to know that from Ali (A.S.) to Mahdi (A.S.) obligation of them all is to keep the Quran and Sunnah alive. On that basis, the Imam-e-Samin Zamin (A.S.) asked a Mard-e-Momin that: Keep our Amr (Wilayat) alive. He asked that how can we keep it alive. The Imam (A.S.) said that tell the people about the realities of our Kalam, good work, seerat and character, give its explanation as it is how our Amr “Wilayat” could be kept alive.
 
The Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya gives priority to observing the days of Anbia, Mursaleen, Khasan-e-Illahi, Mashaheer-e-Islam and inheritors of the Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW). In that context, 3-day International Jashan-e-Murtazvi is being observed from 11 to 13 Rajab-ul-Murajjab on the occasion of Wiladat Purnoor of Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.).
 
Hazrat Ali (A.S.) is that great personality who has the honour to be born in Bait-Ullah and no one could get that status before and after that occasion. His holy life is the best practical lesson for the Maktab-e-Javedan. Ali (A.S.) who taught the lesson of Razm-o-Azm, knowledge, wisdom, struggle, jihad, justice and fair-play that is the best symbol to follow for the humanity. Basis of the religion of Islam rests on justice . The strength of the earth and skies owes it to justice. The difference in Ali’s (A.S.) pious life is that it gives a reflection of normalcy and balance. All good qualities are seen on their utmost height. Struggle and jihad in restoring righteousness and justice is the greatest deed of Ali’s (A.S.) life.
 
The day Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) announced Nabuwwat, Ali (A.S.) was seen with him like a shadow. The life span of the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) spread over 63 years stands witness that whether it is home or outside, journey or any other gathering, or the war, Hazrat Ali (A.S.) was everywhere with the Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW). It is crystal clear and the whole world knows and understands that when people were running leaving the battlefield then what role Ali Karrar (A.S.) was playing. Everyone would remember the announcement of the Rasool (SAAW) in Khyber that I will give the flag to the one tomorrow who is a man and Karrar and Ghair-e-Farrar, Allah and His Rasool (SAAW) will have love for him and he will have love for Allah and His Rasool (SAAW). Ali had utilised all his energy, bestowed on him by Allah, for the protection of religion, survival of Islam, and promotion of Quran and Sunnah.
 
The whole world considers us amongst the servants of Nabi (SAAW) and Ali (A.S.) because we strongly love and are devoted to Nabi (SAAW) and Ali (A.S.). Therefore we are under the obligation to disseminate the commandments of Quran, Muhammad (SAAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) and thank Allah that He has declared us from amongst those who keep the Wilayat of Nabi (SAAW), Ali (A.S.), and their pious offspring.
 
Ali (A.S.) was the collection of good qualities that is why a saying of the Paighambar (SAAW) goes: All qualities of Anbia Ma-Salaf (earlier prophets) are there in Ali (A.S.). There is a saying of the Amirul Momineen (A.S.) that goes: We were fighting in the company of the Hazoor (SAAW) together. When the Zaat-e-Illahi saw this sincere deed of us, He put our enemy in trouble and bestowed victory to us. Then he said: If we have not performed that deed, and we would not have been sincere then not a single branch of Iman (faith) would have prospered and today no pillar of the religion would have been at its place. These are the blessings of Ali (A.S.), his offspring and the sincere companions of the Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW) that Islamic society is seen prospering today all over the world.
 
The game being played in Palestine, Kashmir, Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan, and the threats being hurled on the oppressed nations, the Islamic World and Pakistan for teaching them a lesson deserve only one reply and this is all will have to learn the lesson from Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) whose saying is written with golden words even today: “By God! This mended shoe of mine is dearer to me than ruling over you people but that through this rule, I may restore the right of the people and root out any evil rule, objective of Ali (A.S.) is none other than that”.
 
Ali’s (A.S.) personality is evergreen throughout every era that is why in addition to his followers, others are also full of praise for him.
 
An Arab materialist historian Shibli Shameel says in a praising manner that: Hazrat Ali (A.S.) was respectable of all respectable persons of the world and the eastern and western world did not see any picture in old and modern era that would be in line with its original.
 
A Christian historian Jarwaaq writes that: “Whether you recognise or not, before the history Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) is the voice of human justice”.
 
Accordingly, Ali (A.S.) says: “By God! If the whole world under the sky and whatever is in it is given to me on condition that I may carry out oppression against an ant and snatch the barley shell from her, I would not do it”.
 
Actually, Ali (A.S.) wants to say that oppression is that bad a thing that oppression cannot be carried out against the smallest thing including an ant, even for a rule all over the world. Islam looks at society with honour and respect and thus stresses the need of restoration of justice and fair-play and rooting out oppression and brutality.
 
There is a saying: .
 
Islam has made it clear that there is justice, fair-play and balance in society and a society can remain intact even the people are atheists but no society can prosper or remain intact with oppression, brutality, suppression and social disorder no matter its people are Muslims. Oppression had been the biggest cause of destruction of all nations.
 
Allah Says: If people are reformers then Allah does not kill them for a single oppression” because the Zaat-e-Illahi is justifiable and the representatives sent by Him work for justice and fair-play.
 
If we desire to root out oppression, evil and terrorism then under we would have to carry out struggle for it because it is Quranic principle that Allah does not change the condition of a nation unless it changes its condition itself.
 
Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) in his famous commandments in his letter addressed to Maalik-e-Ashtar says about the elite class that during the happy time no class is costly than this class for a ruler and in tough time also that is the class that extends minimum help, its expectations are high and it is the most unappreciative, does not accept any excuse regarding her expectations and in time of trouble no one is impatient than this class. Only people are the pillar of religion and central power of the Muslims, and only people present themselves to confront the enemy, therefore, people and not the elite class should be the central point of your attraction.
 
Through this commandment how decently Hazrat Ali (A.S.) painted the mind of elite class, Wadera Shahi and capitalists and conferred honour and respect to general people.
 
On the pious occasion of International Jashan-e-Murtazvi we announce our commitment to promote justice and fair-play, and continue our practical struggle with sincerity of purpose to condemn oppression and brutality, and to become a concrete wall in way of enemies of humanity by becoming united and pious to root out social disorder and discrimination.
 
That is why the Holy Prophet (SAAW) had said: God and father of you all is one i.e. you are Farzand-e-Adam, therefore, supremacy of you all depends on Taqwa (piety) and it is Taqwa that is the standard of supremacy over others. Then, he said: I have preached the Message of God to you. All of them replied: Yes. Then, he said: One who is present here should disseminate my message to those who are not present here. Our forefathers disseminated the message of religion to us, now we are under the obligation to disseminate this message to our next generation. Neither we would bargain on its protection and defence nor would we allow anyone else to do the same.
