RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that seerat of women belonging to Khanwada-e-Ismat and Taharat is a complete example for women at large and women could achieve a respectable place in society by following the same.

He stated this while announcing to observe “Youm-e-Azmat-e-Niswan” (Women Dignity Day) in connection with the Wiladat Purnoor of Hazrat Fatima Binte Moosa Kazim (A.S.) on Zeeqad 1 with religious spirit, devotion and respect.

He said Hazrat Masooma-e-Qum (S.A.) was placed at the highest pedestal of Fazl-o-Kamal, Zuhd-o-Taqwa, excellence and knowledge. She was conferred with the title of Masooma by four holy personalities. She was the inheritor of Chadar of Zahra (S.A.) and Sani-e-Zahra (S.A.).

Agha Moosavi said that there is a saying of Hazrat Imam Ali Raza (A.S.) that goes that one who performed Ziarat of Masooma-e-Qum (S.A.), has performed my Ziarat. A large number of women from Mohallah Bani Hashim used to participate in her Dars (lecture) owing to which she was also called ‘Muhaddisah’. He said Hazrat Fatima Binte Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) bore all types of difficulties and problems for the pleasure of Zaat-e-Illahi and welfare of humanity and earned a great place for women at large.

He made it clear that Zuhd-o-Taqwa and piousness have been termed the standards of supremacy and the objective of human life is also declared the same. Man and woman both equally come under the category of human beings. He said like big Mashaheer, there are many great women who have performed many great deeds.

The TNFJ chief said that there is a saying of Maula-e-Kainaat Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) that ‘iffat’ is the biggest worship from amongst all worships. He said a woman who is decorated with this quality can perform her greatest Islamic duty with patience and firmness and such women are treated with honour and dignity in the history of womenfolk.

He said Hazrat Hawwah, Hajra, Sarah, Madar-e-Moosa, Madar-e-Eisa Hazrat Maryam, Hazrat Batool (S.A.), Hazrat Zainab Kubra (S.A.), and Hazrat Sakina (S.A.) are known in this respect today because they performed great deeds for religion, Shariat and humanity. He said Khanwada-e-Risalat has the honour that besides men, the Mukhaderat-e-Ismat and Taharat of this family also performed great deeds. Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) participated in the work of Risalat, Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.) participated in Wilayat and Imamat, Hazrat Zainab Binte Ali (S.A.) is Sharikat-ul-Hussain, and Hazrat Fatima Binte Moosa Kazim (S.A.) is Sharikat-ul-Ali Bin Moosa Ar-Raza (A.S.) who is also called as Masooma-e-Qum.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi has appealed the followers of religion and Shariat to organise Mahafil-e-Milad, functions, conferences, and meetings on the auspicious occasion of ‘Youm-e-Azmat-e-Niswan’ to pay homage in Bargah-e-Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) and announce their commitment to utilise all their energy for the supremacy of humanity, religion, Shariat, security and protection of motherland.

Meanwhile, TNFJ Central Committee has been formed to organise “Youm-e-Azmat-e-Niswan” programmes. Dr. S.M. Rizvi has been nominated as Convener and Prof. Ghulam Abbas Haideri as Secretary of the Committee.
