RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that Hazoor Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) and Shahzada Sulah-o-Aman Hazrat Imam Hassan Mujtaba (A.S.) presented greatest examples of fulfilling promise which would be helpful even today, if followed.

This was stated by him while announcing to observe “Hafta-e-Ayyam-e-Aza” from 23-29 Safar-ul-Muzaffar in motherland Pakistan in connection with the martyrdom days of Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) and Hazrat Imam Hassan Mujtaba (A.S.).

He said fulfillment of promise enjoys an important place in Islam. The importance of fulfilment of promise could be gauged from the fact that Zaat-e-Illahi has said: “No doubt, Allah never violates promise” (Surah Aal-e-Imran). He said it is from among good deeds of pious people of Allah to keep their promise. Rivers may divert their direction, mountains may leave their place but it is expected from a brave man to fulfill his promise come what may. Therefore, he added, it is obligatory for the followers of Nabi (SAAW), Ahle Bait Athaar (A.S.) and pious Sahaba Kubaar to continue keeping their promise and never let the political or any other influence overcome them saying everything is fair in love and war.

Agha Moosavi said that Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW) made Ehad-o-Paiman in Sulah-e-Hudaibia and Imam Hassan Mujtaba (A.S.) followed the suit by preferring peace over war. That is why Sulah-e-Hudaibia has been declared the preface of Fatah-e-Makkah while Sulah-e-Hassan was termed the preface of Karbala. He said fulfilment of promise has utmost importance as the Ummah in the past was also asked to keep the promised.

Allah says: “Oh, Bani Israel! Remember my rewards that I showered on you and fulfil my promise and fear only from Me” (Surah Baqr). He said there is a saying of the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) لا دین لمن لا عھد لھ one who has no Ehad, he has no religion. He further stated that promise is a debt therefore we should pay it. He said fulfilment of promise had always been the habit of braves and young men. We had also promised at the time of creation of Pakistan: What is the meaning of Pakistan لا الہ الا اللہ and لا الہ است حسین. Therefore, he added, the path of Hussainiyyat would have to be adopted for enforcement of Shariat.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi said that we would have to follow the golden sayings and commandments of the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW), Ahle Bait Atahaar (A.S.) and pious Sahaba Kubaar as in it lay the key of our success. He said we would present homage to these holy personalities by observing the Wisal of the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) and Imam Hassan (A.S.) as Ayyam-e-Aza and would tell the world of humanity that key to success not only lay in wars but more in peace and tranquillity.

Meanwhile, a Central Committee of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafairya has been formed to organize programmes for Hafta-e-Ayyam-e-Aza throughout the country. Dr. S.M. Rizvi has been nominated as Convener and Salman Haideri as Secretary of this Committee.
