ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Daughters of the nation will not hesitate in extending any kind of sacrifice by following in the footsteps of lion-hearted ladies of Karbala to deal with colonial challenges being faced by Islamic world, solidarity, and to confront dangers being faced by motherland Pakistan’s integrity, solidarity, peace and development.

This was resolved in the concluding communiqué of high-level meeting of Umm-ul Banin WF. Raeesa-tul Hoffaz Zainab Alvia opened the session with recitation of Holy Quran. Chairperson Umm-ul Banin WF Umme Laila Mashhadi presided over the meeting which was largely attended by representative delegations from all the four provinces including Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas.

The communiqué, presented by chief adviser Umm-ul Banin WF Syeda Bintul Huda (double gold medalist), said after the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (AS), resolve, determination, courage and boldness with which Ahle Haram fulfilled the duty of a sailor to protect the ship of Islam, history of Islam is proud of it and human history is in great wonder over it.

“This day where deliverer of humanity – Islam - is facing a new Karbala, and the blood of Muslims is being shed ungrudgingly from Kashmir to Palestine and Afghanistan to Iraq, there the existence of Pakistan – the only Islamic ideological State on the earth face – is confronted with terrorism, biases and dissensions. To get rid of all this, awakening spirit of Karbala is the most important need of the hour.”

The communiqué strongly condemned terrorism being committed across the globe including Pakistan, trampling grace and honour of holy sites, digging of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and American threats to Iran. Solidarity was expressed with the oppressed and have-nots in the world including Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq.

The meeting expressed its full and unshaken confidence on the Markaz of Maktab-e-Tashayyo – Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya.

Addressing the session, Umme Laila Mashhadi said creation of Umm-ul Banin WFP had been deemed necessary since long. But with the advent of this Muharram-ul Haram, anti-Islam and –Pakistan powers made terrorism order of the day. Terror incidents happened in Bannu, Peshawar, D.I.Khan, Quetta and Islamabad besides martyrdom of TNFJ’s brave and daring leader Jawwad Hussain Jawwad made every patriotic and religion-loving person to think that in this critical situation when from a common man to judiciary, legislature, administration and the most important places are not far from the reach of terrorists, therefore, every individual of the nation will have to come in the working field to eradicate conspiracies of colonial chief – that is busy in destabilizing Pakistan – and its agents i.e. Hindus and Zionists.

Keeping in view this need, Umm-ul Banin WF was established on February 19 because like men, onus of protection of Mosques, Imambargahs, Tabarrukaat, gatherings of Mahafil, Majalis and jaloos-e-aza comes on the shoulders of women. That is why, this organization is named after that great and daring lady who was brave, brilliant and knowledgeable whose four lion-hearted sons took the responsibility of protection in Karbala. She was posted on the lofty pedestal of courage, valor, excellence, pity and faith.

Umme Laila Mashhadi said Umm-ul Banin is called mother of that lions who keep an eagle eye.

She expressed hope that women will present themselves at the fore-front to perform the most important duty of defense of Signs of Allah.
