ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Mission of Faqeer decorated with the outfit of Faqr is to disseminate religion and Shariat, and preaching of respect to humanity, love and devotion, said the Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi.

He stated this while addressing a gathering on the occasion of laying down of wreath and offering dua at the grave of Hazrat Sakhi Mahmood Badshah Kazmi Al-Mashadi at Aabpara, Islamabad.

He said the basis of the religion is Ma’arfat (knowledge), and there is a saying of the Maula-e-Kainat Hazrat Ali ibne Abi Talib (A.S) that goes that . That is why, he added, every one likes knowledge, awareness and wisdom, every conscious person wants to know and understands about every thing in the universe. He said in Quran such sources, resources and methods have been stated through which a person can achieve everything. He said there are many places in Quran where invitation to think and ponder over has been given and a person has been asked to evaluate and test his Nafs. There is a saying of Maula Ali (A.S.) that one who recognised his Nafs, he has recognised his Rabb. In other words, the Masoom (A.S.) has unveiled the secret of achieving real knowledge of the world. Therefore, he said those personalities who followed these methods to know about things are apprised of these secrets that were not clear to others.

Agha Moosavi said in Maktab-e-Tashayyo Faqeer and Arif is the person who has Kashf-o-Shahood and Irfaan while other schools of thought consider it Tasawwaf and one who is decorated with Tasawwaf is called Sufi or Murshad. He said everyone who loves humanity loves the personality have the capability of Kashf-o-Shahood and respects him from the core of his heart. He said from the sayings of the Holy Prophet (SAAW) i.e. and , it is indicated that Maula Ali (A.S.) is door of knowledge, awareness and Irfan and the one who considers Ali (A.S.), Fatima (S.A.) and their 11 sons as his leader, definitely he is the lucky one to know about Wilayat-e-Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) and follows the path led by him and under declares Bandah and his every thing Aqa and keeping in view (Surah Momin) hands over all his matters to Allah because all servants are in the eyes of Allah, then Allah saves him from tactics of his enemy and wrath comes on his enemies.

The TNFJ chief said Jehad enjoys utmost importance in Islam but the Jehad-e-Akbar is to do Jehad with your Nafs (human desires). He said during the life-time of the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW), Abuzar (R.A.), Miqdad (R.A.), Salman (R.A.) and Ammar (R.A.) topped the list of those who kept on fighting Nafs-e-Ammarah and overcome the same. The Poet of the East says about them:

Agha Moosavi said that in general situations the word of Faqr is used for poverty i.e. Faqeer and Miskeen who have no money to meeting his expenditure over the year and having no source of income and considered to seek alms. He said there are three types of human beings in the world: one who is at the mercy of the creature; two who is on the mercy of the Creator and the creature both; and three who is on the mercy of the Creator only and is the world of knowledge he is called Faqeer and Arif and is laced with the outfit of Faqr. He said the Holy Prophet (SAAW) about this Faqr had said that I am proud of my Faqr. He said the whole creature is on the mercy of real Faqeer and he is only on the mercy of the Creator and bound to fulfil His commandments.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi said that one of the personality from Fuqara-e-Illahi is Hazrat Sakhi Mahmood Badshah Kazmi Al-Mashadi whose family tree, like us, is Syed Abdul Kareem Qazi Al-Qoza who is grandfather of all of us, from him it goes to Hazrat Syed Amir Sultan Ashaq Al-Mofiq Ibne Hazrata Imam Musa Kazim (A.S.) who is recognised as Babul Hawaij and Babul Murad by all schools of thought.

He said all Fuqara not only praise the Fazail and Manaqib of Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) but they also agree that Maula Ali (A.S.) is the source of their knowledge and awareness. He made it clear that in the present era neither there remained Faqr nor Tasawwaf. However, he said, no period had been without Arifeen. He said Sharib Maulai has said about Hazrat Ali (A.S.) that:

He further says:

He said all Fuqra are banking on the Babul Ilm Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.):

Agha Moosavi said this is the King of knowledge and awareness Fina Fi Sabeel Ali who in reality is Fina Fi Allah. That is why a personality like Allama Iqbal who is Musawwar-e-Pakistan kept a couplet written on the page 47 of Kitab-e-Maghan Lahore for morning Wazeefah. It is:

He is the door to City of Love and Noah of the Noah’s Ship and is the NaKhuda of Irfan-e-Illahi.

He said a personality laced with real Faqr Hazrat Sakhi Mahmood Badshah’s blessings is being spread for everyone. It is the individual luck, who gained what but the whole humanity and persons belonging to every religion and Maktab are imbibed of his great deeds for promotion of religion and Shariat, and welfare of the humanity. They come to his tomb for thanks-giving to Allah, he concluded.
