Zainab-e-Olyaa (AS) patience ‘beacon of light for humanity’: Moosavi on Rajab 15

By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that Satanic World could be confronted with total defeat by following the Sabr-e-Zainabi (patience of Zainab).

He stated this while announcing to observe Youm-e-Sharikatul Hussain on 15 Rajab-ul-Murajjab throughout the country to mark the Shahadat of Nawasi-e-Rasool, Dukhtar-e-Ali and Batool Hazrat Zainab (S.A.).

He said the way lion-hearted daughter of Sher-e-Khuda (A.S.) bore all difficulties and problems with patience, firmness, and wisdom is the beacon of light for the world of humanity even today. The solution of what humanity is confronting, followers of religion and Shariat are facing, Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan are undergoing, motherland Pakistan is confronting oppression, brutality and terrorism today lay in following the Seerat-e-Zainab.

He said according to Quran, human being is the superior creature and the standard of his superiority is Zuhd-o-Taqawa on the basis of which followers of Taqawa from Ahle Islam and Ahle Iman are also counted. Taqawa is considered the best tool and source to succeed in Hereafter while Taqwa is also known as the objective of subservience, worship and Bandagi. Taqwa means protecting the self and controlling the Nafs. Like good outfit is needed to protect from hot and cold weather, similarly outfit of Taqwa is required to protect spirituality as it introduces the image and visibility to spiritualism, he added.

Agha Moosavi said that Allah Says in Quran that “Oh, people in Iman! If you declare Taqwa as a profession, Allah will declare it Furqaan for you (Surah Infaal Ayah 29) i.e. He will bless you with the ability to recognise the good and the evil. Another Ayah says: Become Sahib-e-Tawqa so that knowledge is showered on you and Allah keeps the knowledge of every thing.” (Surah Baqarah Ayah 282).

Like Ambia and Mursaleen utilised their energy for the guidance of world of humanity and the Aa’imma Huda presented sacrifice for its survival, protection, and defence, and then one of the personality from these Aa’imma Huda is Shah-e-Mashriqain Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) who was declared the inheritor of Ambia and Mursaleen, and transformed into reality by sacrificing his 72 near and dear ones in the hot plains of Karbala but after the Shahadat of Imam Mazloom (A.S.) a personality from amongst the women at large is Zainab Binte Ali (S.A.) who displayed patience, forbearance, bravery, courage and was declared the symbol of Uloom-e-Muhammadi, Afkaar-e-Murtazvi, and Zuhd-o-Taqwa.

Her heart-rending addresses in the streets of Kufa and Shaam and in the courts of Ibne Ziad and Yazid shattered Yazidiyyat. The extent of her knowledge, Zuhd-o-Taqwa can be gauged from a saying of Imam Zainul Abideen (A.S.) that goes (Nafs Al-Hamoom Page 395). By the Grace of God, you are such a scholar who not given any training or lessons.

The TNFJ chief said Hazrat Zainab (S.A.) was completely aware of her obligations in phases that included journey from Madinah to Karbala, Karbala to Kufa and Shaam, Shaam to Madinah and till her martyrdom on 15 Rajab-ul-Murajjab that where to stay, where to deliver address, where to request, and where to give answer. Her tactics in controlling the Caravan Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) were astonishing. It is said that woman keeps no control over her feelings but these feelings, and desires could not overcome the tactics and vision and could not divert her from the Godly duties and commandments, she exercised wisdom even in shattering moments, that is why she was called “Aqeela Bani Hashim” (Al-Khasais Zainabia).

She never lost patience and forbearance and always considered firmness and durability as her utmost responsibility. For that reason it is said that patience should be found where there is faith, as a true Momin could keep the patience in reality. The relationship of patience and faith is considered most strong and in Meezan Al-Hikmah (Edition 5) these both are related with head and body.

Agha Moosavi said that a Momin’s life, faith, guidance and its height and decline is subservient to patience, where there is no patience and forbearance that means there is no strong faith there. The basis of practising faith and obligations would only be possible when patience and forbearance would go hand in hand. He said patience has been stated in three types, patience on subservience i.e. avoiding Nafs’s desires, patience on Ma’asiyyat i.e. avoiding sins and remaining firm on problems and difficulties, keeping patience in way of Allah straightens guidance for humanity.

He said there is a saying of Maula-e-Kainaat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) that goes: Human being does not restrict to reality of Iman but there are three qualities in him i.e. knowledge of religion, patience on difficulties and problems, and best methodology for the protection of human life.

He said there is a saying of Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S.) that goes: Allah does not put Muta’al Banda-e-Momin in difficulties, illnesses, and problems so that shower Ajr and Sawaab on him and sometimes achieving heaven and survival is limited only and only to bearing problems and difficulties. He said there is another saying of Quran-e-Natiq Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S.) that goes: There is one status before Allah for the Bandah that is not achieved by him through his deed, that is why Zaat-e-Illahi put him in illness, problems, difficulties and grief of the offspring, if he shows patience and forbearance in it then Allah showers that status on him in return of it (Baharul Anwaar). He said that on the basis of that Imam Hussain (A.S.) had told the members of his caravan that: (Baharul Anwaar). Become aware that Allah showers high achievements to his servants on bearing problems. Perhaps for that reason problems and difficulties are declared a gift for the faithfuls (Ahle Iman).

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi said that problems are the gifts of God. Khasan-e-Khuda not only bear problems and difficulties rather they bow down their head before His desires and do not complain.

He said on the occasion of Youm-e-Sharikatul Hussain we express our commitment not to hesitate to give any sacrifice by thwarting all types of colonial conspiracies for promoting religion and Shariat and stability of the country and the nation by practising Seerat-e-Zainab.

Meanwhile, TNFJ Central Committee has been formed to organise Youm-e-Sharikatul Hussain programmes all over the country. Syeda Binte Moosavi has been nominated Convener and Labwah Haider as Secretary of this Committee.
