RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Youm-e-Wafat of Momina-e-Awwal and Hazrat Fatima Zahra’s (S.A.) mother Ummul Momineen Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) will be observed throughout the country on Thursday 10th Ramazan as International Youm-ul-Huzn throughout the country.

The day will begin with recitation from the Holy Quran at Sehr time in all mosques of all small and big cities and towns of the country including Federal Capital Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

Ulema, waizeen and zakireen will address the Youm-ul-Huzn Majalis and other religious gatherings and will highlight the pious seerat of Ummul Momineen Mohsina-e-Islam Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) and her invaluable sacrifices and services for Islam.

Convener of the International Youm-ul-Huzn Committee Allama Basharat Hussain Imami has appealed all schools of thought to fully participate in Youm-ul-Huzn. He strongly demanded from the government to make more effective measures to improve law and order situation in the country and present special programmes for the day on electronic and print media while Youm Al-Huzn programmes should be given full coverage.

Meanwhile, Majalis-e-Aza began in connection with the Wafat of Ummul Momineen Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.

Allama Syed Mohsin Ali Hamdani addressing a Majlis at Qasr-e-Abu Talib Mughalabad said that Hazrat Khadija (S.A.) is that pious LADY who fully supported the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) in the work of Risalat and helped Islam becoming victorious through her life and wealth. He said the supremacy of Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) could be gauged from the fact that her daughter is the Syeda of women at large and grandsons are Sardar of Jawanan-e-Jannat and the Ayah-e-Tatheer stands witness that she is the main source of Ismat-o-Taharat. She has the honour of being the mother of Khatoon-e-Jannat. He said Jibrail-e-Ameen is the beggar of her home and the religion of the Paighambar owes to Hazrat Khadija (S.A.).

Allama Hamdani said that Syeda Khadija (S.A.) supported Risalat in every problem and difficulty despite being Malikat-ul-Arab, she was wealthy to the extent that it was difficult to gauge her wealth but she used to keep Faqa (remaining without food) along with Nabi-e-Akram (SAAW), she used to provide best outfit to thousands of Arab women but she herself used to wear treated clothes. He said when people alighted themselves from the Paighambar (SAAW) after the announcement of Nabuwwat, she was her companion in this situation and she used to pacify him when people of Makkah used to tease him. He said that by sacrificing all her wealth for Islam, she taught a practical lesson of the spirit of sacrifice to all and sundry.

A resolution adopted on the occasion strongly condemned the Nato attacks and flight of espionage planes in the areas of Waziristan Agency and demanded from the government to give a befitting reply so as to stop these aggressive activities.

The resolution made it clear that the colonial powers are not friends to anyone; they only keep their interests supreme. Therefore, the resolution said, we will have to display courage to keep the dignity of the motherland. The resolution said that we would have to inculcate the spirit of Shahadat of the Shuhada who achieved Nishan-e-Haider so as to make the country’s defence unscalable.

Another resolution termed the success of Asif Ali Zardari in becoming President a good omen for democracy. The resolution said that at present the whole nation was eyeing on the President for solution of their long-standing problems because the President’s office is the sign of Federation and the caretaker of the rights of the people of the whole country. The resolution said that it was obligatory to give rights to all sections of society on the basis of equality so as to promote country’s stability, development and durable peace.
