RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: In his special message issued on the occasion of Youm-e-Shahadat of Sher-e-Khuda Hazrat Ali Al-Murtaza (A.S.) that was observed throughout the country on Monday with devotion, respect and religious spirit, the Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that Amirul Momineen Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) preached the eternal message of firmness, knowledge, wisdom, justice and fair-play to the world of humanity.

He said echoes of the voice of Hazrat Ali could still be heard that: By Rabb-e-Ka’aba, my treated shoe is dearer to me than ruling over you people but that through it I will restore righteousness, truthfulness, justice and fair-play and will root out oppression, brutality, and suppression. He had resolved to be faithful to righteousness and reality and not to adopt anything else in place of Haq. His personality was fully imbibed with desire for Haq and reality.

He said Shahadat in Rah-e-Haq had been the desire of Mardan-e-Haq. That is why Ali (A.S.) expressed desire many a time in Bargah-e-Aizdi not to give his life on a cosy bed but while confronting the enemies of Shariat and humanity to win the Tamgha-e-Shahadat, he said adding that at last he took bath in his own blood while busy in worship of Allah.

Agha Moosavi said Darood-o-Salam on Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) about whom the Holy Prophet (SAAW) has said that he the best judge. He said the soil of Najaf-e-Ashraf grasped Ali (A.S.) and with him buried justice and fair-play. He said the scarcity of justice and fair-play is giving birth to many crises today and Pakistan that came into being in the name of restoring justice and fair-play is on its target.

Strongly condemning the incident of terrorism at Marriott Hotel in Islamabad the other day he termed it a part of dangerous conspiracy of the international colonial trio. He said murder of innocent people is oppression and great tragedy.

He said the whole nation shares the grief of the bereaved families of the innocent people who lost their life in this incident. He made it clear that the world of terrorism could not divert us from the right path, we are the followers of Maula Ali (A.S.) who says: Whether we inflict ourselves on death or death comes on us, we love death to the extent that is not even displayed by a child from her mother’s milk. He said we can be killed but no power on earth could root out our ideology.

The TNFJ chief said that Allah restored the world system on the pillar of justice; created the creature under some strategy; sent Kutab-e-Illahi on Anbia and Mursaleen; gave commandment for justice and fair-play and not to carrying out oppression and brutality against anyone. He said there is a saying of the Maula Ali (A.S.) that goes: Justice and fair-play is the asset of the society and zeenat of the rulers. Another place, he said: A government remains if the ruler is an atheist and does justice but if the ruler is a Muslim and carries out oppression and brutality then that government has to go. He said in the Surah Kahaf of the Holy Quran there is mention about Eskander Zulqarnain who was wise and justifiable and his government was settled with the help of the Nature with full strength. Someone asked him how he expanded his rule in the East and the West despite the fact that the rulers before him were more powerful and were laced with all types of wealth and armament but could not dominate like him. He replied that although the past rulers were visibly powerful but their governments were settled on oppression while my government is settled on justice and fair-play. Wherever I desire to rule, I provided the people with clothing and food to my people following the norms of justice and fair-play by the Grace of God; used to utter names of their elders with respect; entrusted the relevant job to the experts and did not consider oppression on anyone as legal; did not give priority to unwise and bad people over the intelligentsia and pious people. Therefore, Allah blessed me with His help with the blessings of these norms of justice and fair-play.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that there is a saying of the Maula-e-Kainaat Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) that goes: The best rulers of the era are those who root out oppression and brutality and keep the norms of justice and fair-play alive. He said the best justice is to get the oppressed rid of oppressors, suppressors and terrorists. He said there is need to ponder over today that why we are facing terrorism and terrorists today? The biggest reason for this seems to be bowing down before the international colonial powers and their agents instead of bowing before Allah. He said the world would have to get rid of the international chief of the colonial powers and her agents so as to give mirage to the motherland and to turn this world into a hub of peace.
