RAWALPINDI, March 21: The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) was the Nigehban-e-Risalat and Murabbi and protector of the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) and the whole world could be turned into a hub of peace by tackling dangers and challenges posed to the Islamic World and by thwarting conspiracies against the enemies of humanity. This was stated by him in a special message while announcing Universal Ayyam ul-Huzn from 24-26 Rabiul Awwal. He said life is the name of belief and struggle and the human being keeps the belief dearer than anything else, different types of relationships could be given up by no one give up the belief rather everything is sacrificed for its protection and survival. He said Raees-e-Makkah, Kuleed-Bardar of Ka’aba Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) is that great a personality who has the honour of upbringing of the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) and Allah has linked the upbringing of the Hazoor (SAAW) at the hands of Abu Talib (A.S.) towards Him by saying that: We found you orphan and gave you protection.

Agha Moosavi said that the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) was 8 years old at the death of his father Hazrat Abdul Muttalib, therefore, Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) provided best upbringing and training to him (SAAW). Hazrat Abdul Muttalib had made a will to Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) to bring up the Rasool (SAAW). Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) continued the upbringing of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) till he was pronounced as Rasool (SAAW). He continued protecting and supporting the Rasool (SAAW) for quite long. It is agreed upon and there is Ijma of the Ahle Bait (A.S.) that Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) passed away in the condition of Iman. He said Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) was Kamil Al-Iman but could not declare it owing to some reservations. Had he announced his Iman, then he may not be able to support the Rasool (SAAW). Hiding his Iman was like the Momin Aal-e-Firon supported Hazrat Musa (A.S.) by hiding their Iman.

The TNFJ chief said that at the time of death while ulema and fuqaha could not keep their senses together but Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) exercised complete awareness, courage and bravery and made such a golden will to the Quraish that is a clear expression of his Iman and a statement of his devotion and love with the Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW). At this stage he called Quraish and made a will that: Oh, group of Quraish, you are the selected ones in the creature of Allah, you are the heart of the Arab and there are some people amongst you who should be made Sardar and his commandments are followed. There are people amongst you who keep best courage and broader bravery. You should know that there is no gentlemanliness or superiority that you may not have got, people lack your sources, now people have decided to confront you jointly, therefore, it has become necessary to respect Ka’aba-tul-Allah as in it lay the pleasure of Allah, expansion in earnings, and the key to firmness. Do not give up relationships, be kind to others, do not commit treachery because by doing this the nations before you have faced disaster. Give something to one you asks for it, fulfil his request, in it lay the key to life and death, talk truth, pay trusts as in it lay special love and supremacy. I make my will for you to do good with Muhammad (SAAW), he is Ameen in Quraish and Siddique in Arabs, and he keeps all those qualities that I have mentioned in my will. My hearts has accepted his Message which I do not bring to my tongue owing to those who are opposed to him. By God! the Mustazfeen and the poor who are accepting his invitation are raising his greatness. Black-faced Quraish are becoming low in front of him, their homes are in doldrums. When I see the elders of atheists they are seen indigents. Arab people accept the leadership of Hazoor (SAAW) and are supporting hi. Oh, the group of Quraish! he is the son of your father, support him, support his party, by God those who follow him are guided one and blessed. Even now if my life is extended and death delayed, I will confront every problem and difficulty coming towards him. He said every word of the will made by Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) is to be pondered upon. By comparing Quran and Sunnah, his will is completely in accordance with Quran and Sunnah and a proof of his Iman.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) is the only personality whose year of death was declared Aam Al-Huzn (the year of grief) by Hazoor-e-Akram (SAAW). He said the Muslim Ummah is under the obligation to observe Ayyam Al-Huzn and give his pursa to Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW) and announce their commitment to follow the seerat of Abu Talib (A.S.) and would not give up our duty to protect and defend the Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW) and the religion of Islam, would continue our practical struggle for its supremacy, would not give up support to the oppressed and have-nots and would always condemn oppression and brutality.

Meanwhile, a TNFJ Committee has been formed to organize programmes for Universal Ayyam Al-Huzn. M.H. Jafri has been nominated as Convener for this Committee while Malik-e-Ashtar would act as Deputy Convener and Haider Abbas Bajwa as Secretary.
