RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that if the rulers and the powers that be begin practising the principles and teachings devised by Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) then they can get rid of the international colonial powers and get rid of all problems and difficulties achieving supremacy of the motherland.

This was stated by him in a special message issued by him at the beginning of “International Ayyam-e-Aza” marking the Shahadat of Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) that is being observed throughout the country from 19-21 Ramazan.

He said everyone is upset on what is happening to the humanity at present. The Islamic World, particularly the motherland Pakistan is confronted with host of problems; our rulers are thinking of adopting new foreign policy and in these circumstances, he said, the sayings of Maula-e-Kainaat Hazrat Ali (A.S.) provide us guidelines as he has directed to keep away from the friendship of donkey-minded as he desires to benefit you but owing his idiot ness and unwise steps become harmful to you. He said another saying of the Maula-e-Kainaat (A.S.) that goes: Avoid the friendship of narrow-minded and avarices because he will leave you stranded at a time his help is needed more; avoid the friendship of a debaucher because he will sell you out very cheap; do not make friend with a liar as he will cheat you like an illusion, will present the far-away thing as it is very near to your eyes and will bring it as it is far away but is actually near to you.

Agha Moosavi said the life-style of Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) is encouraging and invaluable in the situation of Islam and Iman, and thought-provoking about wars. He said the basic principles of Islamic Government of Maula Ali (A.S.) are the source of prediction and guidance. He is a complete symbol of greatness, purification, generosity, and bravery. He said there are very few persons in the world who have extra-ordinary capabilities except one or two because every capabilities and supremacy keeps a different attitude but it is the greatness of Ali’s (A.S.) personality that has scores of capabilities.

He said there is a saying of Imam Sha’afaee that goes: What should I say about that personality (Ali A.S.) in which three capabilities were combined such three capabilities that are not found in any Bashar e.g. generosity along with Fuqr, prudence along with bravery and courage, and deed along with knowledge.

The TNFJ chief said brave blood was running in the veins of Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) and his chest was enlightened with bravery and courage but he avoided revenge and adopted the great deed of forgiveness that teaches a lesson to the humanity at large.

He said Hazrat Ali (A.S.) was exemplary in knowledge, deed, speech and character on which a sentence uttered by is stands witness: “Oh, people! I would not invite you for any deed but I forward myself first to it and do not stop you from anything but that I avoid it myself, first”. He said Maula Ali (A.S.) had a perfect personality and was a symbol of morality, that is why even the enemies stood witness to his supremacy. In this connection he quoted renowned Christian historian Jibran Khalil Ali as saying: “My faith is that son of Abu Talib (A.S.) is the first Arab who adopted the neighbourhood of ‘Aulohiyyat’ and became the ‘Humraz’ and ‘Dumsaz’ of the same. He was the first Arab whose holy lips sung the ‘Tarana-e-Aulohiyyat’ to the human ears who had not listened to this ‘Naghma-e-Aulohiyyat’ before that”. Jibran says, Ali (A.S.) accepted Shahadat with greatness saying “By Rabb-e-Ka’aba, I have become successful”. He left this world in a way that his heart was full of his desire for ‘Laqa-e-Purwardigaar’. The Arab world did not recognise his status, supremacy and dignity.

Agha Moosavi said Anbia and Mursaleen were sent for Islam that is replete with peace, tranquillity and integrity and the Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW) bore uncountable problems and difficulties and said: No one was tease the way I was tease, not only this but I was made all type of offers but I would not give up preaching and disseminating Islam even moon is placed in my one hand and the sun on the other. He said the Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW) put Islam on the path of enlightenment and after the completion of the religion made a will and for the protection of Islam advised the Ummah that: I am leaving two invaluable things amongst you i.e. Quran and Ahle Bait (A.S.). You will not be misled if you kept yourself attached to them, these two will not separate from each other unless they reach me at Hoz-e-Kausar.

The TNFJ chief made it clear that Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) is one of the great personalities from these Ahle Bait (A.S.). A Christian historian George Jarwaaq writes in his book: “You recognise or not, in history, Shaheed Abu Al-Shaheed, voice of the human justice and miraculous personality of the history is Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.)”. An English philosopher and historian Toms Carl Laiel elaborates the greatness of this historic personality as: “We have no option but to keep him friend and love him to the extent of devotion because he is such a high valued man whose body delivers good, piousness, blessings, and ma’aroofaat, courage and bravery comes out from his pious heart, he is the bravest person of the world, the brave who keeps blessings, softness for others from the core of his heart”. Another place, he says: “He was martyred while saying his prayers in Masjid-e-Kufa but he blessed height to Shahadat”.

Agha Moosavi said there was great intensity in Hazrat Ali’s (SAAW) justice and fair-play and as per a saying of the Rasool (SAAW): Ali (A.S.) you are the best decision maker. In other words Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) is the Chief Justice of the world of humanity. Justice and fair-play became the cause of his Shahadat because Ali (A.S.) considered everyone justifiable like him. At a time when he was crumbling in pain on the bed of Shahadat, he was asked to propose punishment for his assassin. He replied: If I escaped, then I know what have to be done but if I couldn’t then it is up to you; if you go for Qisas then you are allowed one ‘Zarb’ against his one ‘Zarb’ but if you forgive him then it would be most near to Taqwa.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi presenting condolences and pursah to the devotees of Risalat and Wilayat on the Shahadat of Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) reiterated his resolve to continue his practical struggle in expressing hatred and supporting the oppressed following the teachings of Amirul Momineen (A.S.).
