RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi (A.S.) apprised the world of humanity of knowledge, and Zuhd-o-Taqwa through holiest life and Shahadat.

This was stated by him in a special message issued on the occasion of Youm-e-Shahadat of Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi (A.S.) that was observed throughout the country with religious spirit, devotion and respect on Monday, as a part of International Ashra Ajr-e-Risalat.

He said Imam Ali Naqi (A.S.) performed the most important duty of preaching Aieen-e-Illahi and Dastoor-e-Mustafvi and Murtazvi in the darkest era of dictators and tyrant rulers that is still a beacon of light for the oppressed world even today. He kept the real of religious teachings and teachings of Nabi (SAAW) and Ali (A.S.) intact.

Agha Moosavi made it clear that Imam Ali Naqi (A.S.) stayed to check the ideological and Maktabi violations in the era of oppression and brutality and also invited the oppressed world to do so. On this basis his era of Imamat was replete with Sharaf-o-Fazal and exemplary deeds, he said and added that his Darsgah was beacon of light for the followers of Muhammad (SAAW) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.).

He said Imam Ali Naqi (A.S.) kissed Shahadat in 245 Hijra when he was 40 years old. It was grief all around including Samrah which is grieved even today because the holy Mazars of Imam Ali Naqi (A.S.) and his son Hazrat Imam Hassan Askari (A.S.) were razed to ground by international colonial powers and their agents sending a wave of resentment throughout the world of religion and Shariat and the Islamic World and the oppressed nations are raising a voice of protest against this act.

The TNFJ chief said that all places commensurate with Mashaheer are respectable; therefore, all religions, nations and the Islamic World should fulfil their responsibilities while international organisations should also play their role in this connection. He said Shahadat has been considered a great source in announcing Kalma-e-Haq, respect religion and Shariat with honour and dignity, fulfil the Quranic commandments, and sayings of the Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW).

Agha Moosavi said that there is a saying of the Paighamber (SAAW) that goes: There is another good over every good but no good is superior to Shahadat. Another saying of the Paighamber (SAAW) goes: If anyone except Ambia, Mursaleen and Masoomin loses life in way of Allah, his sins are forgiven with the drop of his blood and dust is removed from his face and he finds himself in heaven at the time of Shahadat and he is told to go anywhere he likes, he watches the Jamal-e-Illahi.

On the basis of this, he added, Ambia, Mursaleen and Swaleheen give priority to death with honour instead of life in disguise.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi while paying condolences of Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi’s (A.S.) Shahadat to Khanwada-e-Risalat reiterated his resolve to continue expressing hatred against the oppressors and supporting the oppressed in line with the sayings of the Holy Prophet (SAAW).
