RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Farzandan-e-Tauheed offered their Eid-ul-Fitr prayers in mosques and open places all over the country including Rawalpindi and Federal Capital Islamabad.

In Rawalpindi, the main Eid-ul-Fitr congregation of Fiqh-e-Jafariya was held at the ground of Municipal Boys High School adjacent to Ali Masjid Satellite Town. The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi led the Eid prayers. Delivering Eid Khutba, he said Eid-ul-Fitr is a pious day of Muslim unity and mutual understanding and a symbol of subservience to Allah. He said we are thankful to Allah for his blessings. He gave commandment to keep fasts during the month of Ramazan, and declared one of this month’s nights as Shab-e-Qadr on which He sent Quran. This month is leader of all months and is called the month of forgiveness.

Agha Moosavi said that there is a saying of Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) that goes: The day on which no sin is committed is the Eid for the human being. He said Eid-ul-Fitr is being observed at a time when the bloody ‘holi’ is being played in Palestine and Kashmir, Afghanistan and Iraq are being destructed, new tactics are being implied to overcome the Islamic World, honour of the whole world of humanity is being trampled, Islamic World and Pakistan are being punished for following the religion that is the biggest protector of human dignity and considers humiliation of humanity as Haram, and considers the human being most respectable in the light of Quranic commandment. In this situation, he added, we would have to thwart the conspiracies of enemies of humanity and take care of the oppressed world, oppressed and Muslim nations, poor, down-trodden, widows, and orphans and help them overcome their woes to all possible extent.

A resolution presented by Syed Qamar Haider Zaidi was unanimously adopted on this occasion which strongly condemned the bomb attacks on the Zaireen (Pilgrims) of Imam Moosa Kazim (A.S.) and Imam Muhammad Taqi (A.S.)’s Shrine in Iraq on Eid Day. Another resolution considered the internal strife within the Muslim Ummah, unity of the international colonial powers and their joint aggression against the Muslim Ummah as the basic reason behind non-solution of all international issues including that of Palestine and Kashmir. The resolution said that the whole Islamic World is under fear and the Muslim Ummah has lost its national identity because most of the Muslim rulers were following the international colonial agenda to prolong or grab power as a result of which we are facing aggression from all around. Unfortunately Muslim is bent upon wiping out Muslim, it added.

The resolution stressed the need that the whole Muslim Ummah should accept the leadership of Pakistan for achieving all occupied Muslim areas including Al-Quds Al-Sharif, independence of Kashmir and Palestine and for solution of all problems faced by the Islamic World because Pakistan is an atomic power today by the Grace of God and was created on the basis of Nazria-e-Asaasi. The resolution called upon the powers that be and the opposition to adopt the policy of mutual understanding, bury the politics of vendetta and adopt singular thinking and morality so as to achieve an end to the politics of chaos and anarchy. Another resolution strongly condemning all types of terrorism including the bomb blast at Dargah Khwaja Moeen ud din Chishti Ajmeri reiterated the point of view often expressed by Quaid-i-Millat Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi that a terrorist keeps no religion, Maslak or a country, he is only a terrorist.

Hojjatul Islam Shaikh Ijaz Hussain Madras addressing the gathering highlighted the philosophy of Eid. He said payment of Zakat-e-Fitrah is obligatory for all who can afford it to make the Eid-ul-Fitr universally delighted which should be delivered to the have-nots and the deserving so that they can also participate in the Eid delight along with others.

Allama Mohsin Ali Hamdani at Qasr-e-Abu Talib, Allama Matloob Hussain Taqi at Masjid Kazmia Darbar Sakhi Shah Piyara Chaur Harpal Rawalpindi, Allama Zawwar Hussain Madni at Sports Complex near Liaquat Bagh, Allama Syed Hussain Muqaddasi at Masjid and Imambargah Ahle Bait Gaddowal Moezejagah Wah Cantt, Allama Basharat Hussain Imami at Masjid and Imambargah Qasr-e-Khadijatul Kubra Tarlai Kalan, Allama Guftar Hussain Sadiqi at Masjid-e-Jafariya I-9, Allama Akhlaq Hussain Kazmi at Qasr-e-Imam Musa Kazim I-10, Maulana Faiz Ali Shah at Masjid Asna Ashary Greecy Line, Allama Fakhar Abbas Abidi at Masjid Asna Ashary Dehlaliah, and Maulana Ashiq Hussain Nasir at Shia Jamia Masjid Hussainabad led the Eid prayers. Addressing the Eid-ul-Fitr congregations, they highlighted the philosophy of Eid and prayed for an end to the problems faced by the Islamic World, achievement of all occupied Muslim areas particularly the Qibla-e-Awwal, success of the independence movement of Kashmir, an end to the oppression of oppressed people in Afghanistan, Iraq and Chechnya, and for the stability and progress of motherland Pakistan.
