RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: In a special message on the occasion of “Youm-e-Azmat-e-Niswan”, the Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that the pious seerat of women of Khanwada-e-Risalat is the beacon of light for women at large.

Youm-e-Azmat-e-Niswan was observed in connection with the Wiladat Purnoor of Hazrat Fatima Masooma-e-Qum Binte Imam Moosa Bin Jaffar (S.A.) throughout the country Friday with religious spirit, devotion and respect.

He said as per Quran, human being has been considered supreme and both man and woman come under the definition of human being. He said the renowned persons are often discussed in the human history but unfortunately Hazrat Hajira, Sarah, Maryam, Aasia, Khadijatul Kubra, Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.) and her daughters are scarcely mentioned.

Agha Moosavi said that in this connection Hazrat Fatima Binte Musa Bin Jaffar who is known as Masooma-e-Qum is that great personality in the history who fulfilled her responsibility viz. being the inheritor of Ismat-e-Taharat, seerat, character and good deeds of the Ahle Bait (A.S.) besides giving full protection to their thoughts. Her father Hazrat Imam Musa Kazim was given the title of Babul Hawaij and Baab Al-Murad while her mother was Najma Khatoon and her brother was Ali Bin Moosa Al-Raza Imam-e-Zamin (A.S.). He said Hazrat Masooma-e-Qum was born on Zeeqa’ad 1, 173 Hijra in Madinah Munawwarah.

He made it clear that woman is great in the role of mother, wife, sister and daughter as she has played a great role shoulder to shoulder with Saleheen in every era. He said that the character of women of Khanwada-e-Nabuwwat had always been brave and astonishing. Ali’s (A.S.) mother always let him sleep on Bistar-e-Nabi (SAAW) so that no harm is caused to Khatam-ul-Mursaleen (SAAW).

Ummul Momineen Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) supported him and showered all her wealth in his feet and won the honour of being the First Lady of religion and Shariat. Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.) played her role in victory of Islam by supporting the Rasool (SAAW) in Mobahila, while the great role played by Hazrat Zainab Binte Ali (A.S.) in Karbala is the beacon of light for women at large in every era.

The TNFJ chief said as per a saying of Khateeb Aal-e-Muhammad Allama Azhar Hassan Zaidi, Islam would not have been there if there was no Hussain (A.S.) but there would have been no Hussainiyyat today had Zainab (S.A.) not shattered the Yazidi courts by delivering heart-rending speeches in the streets of Kufa and Shaam and in the courts of Ibne Ziad and Yazid to achieve and defend the objectives of Hussain (A.S.). He said like Zainab Binte Ali (A.S.) thwarted the plans of Bani Ummayad by presenting the objectives of Qayam-e-Hussaini, similarly Masooma-e-Qum unveiled the fake Islam of Banu Abbas by defeating all their tactics. Like Hazrat Zainab (S.A.) and Hazrat Kulsoom (S.A.) bore difficulties of journey to Kufa and Shaam for the Hussaini objectives, similarly Masooma-e-Qum set out on journey to Iran to thwart the negative propaganda of Bani Abbas and unveiled their oppression and brutality. She also presented sacrifice of her brothers during the journey but the dictator of that era could not make her bow down before him or divert her from the right path.

Agha Moosavi said that Masooma-e-Qum showered great status on women at large and following her Bint-ul-Huda, the sister of Ayatollah Baqar As-Sadr presented sacrifice. He said Fatima Jinnah, the sister of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah supported him in playing a pivotal role in Pakistan’s Tasees which cannot be forgotten. That is why she was buried besides her brother.

He said even today womenfolk are playing laudable role in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kashmir and Palestine. He said Pakistan is not only the target of colonial powers, Zionists, Hindus and Christians rather is also facing natural catastrophe. He said we had not yet lost the memory of October 2005 earthquake that Balochistan earthquake has shattered us all. In these situations, we all are under the obligation to pray to Allah and seek forgiveness for our sins.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Moosavi appealed all countrymen to help the earthquake affected in all manners in this hour of need while the government should take such steps that may protect us from such calamities in future and the honour and dignity of the affected is restored by increasing the honour and dignity of Pakistan.
