RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: A meeting of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan’s International Jashan-e-Nauroz Committee presided over by Convener Dr. S.M. Rizvi was held on the special directive of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi.

The meeting reviewed the arrangements for International Jashan-e-Nauroz that is being observed throughout the country on March 20-21. Dr. S.M. Rizvi in his address on the occasion said that the sayings of the Masoomin (A.S.) have proved that Nauroz has been declared the Day of Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.).

He said there are uncountable Fazail and Munaqib of Nauroz but the importance of it increased when the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) on his return from Hajja-tul-Wida i.e. on 18th Zilhij 10 Hijra delivered a Khutba in a gathering of one lakh twenty-four thousand Sahaba Karam (R.A.) that is a complete code of life and source of survival. The Holy Prophet (SAAW) by implementing the Ayah-e-Balligh raised the hand of Hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) and announced the Wilayat-e-Ali by saying “Ali is the Maula of those who’s Maula am I”. Allah granted certificate of completion of the religion after this act of the Hazoor-e-Akram (SAAW).

Dr. Rizvi said that this year Nauroz year is approaching at a time when the Pakistani people are celebrating the restoration of Chief Justice, Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry that is a good omen for the nation and the country.

He said prays should be offered, worships should be performed and thanks-giving Mahafil and Nawafils should be organized for promotion of justice and fair-play for the Zahoor of Messiah for whom the whole world is in waiting because at present the world is full of oppression and brutality, every part of Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq is crying with wounds and the motherland has become the target of enemies which can only be corrected with the Zahoor of Qaim Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) resulting in victory for the oppressed nations and the Islamic World.

A resolution adopted unanimously on the occasion termed the restoration of Chief Justice, Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and other judges and cancellation of the Long March a good omen for the nation and the country. The resolution made it clear that this good step has saved the country from a big crisis.

Another resolution strongly condemned the suicide blast at Pir Widhai More and termed it the activity of anti-human forces. The resolution said that our perpetual enemy was using different tactics to weaken us, therefore, the government should take concrete practical steps to control terrorism while people should themselves remain alert. The resolution demanded from the government to make special security arrangements on the occasion of International Jashan-e-Nauroz throughout the country.
