By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, May 07: Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan, has announced to observe 3-day Ayyam-e-Aza from 27th to 29th Safar-ul-Muzaffar for Wisaal of Hazrat Muhammad Al-Mustafa (SAW) and Shahadat of Hazrat Imam Hassan Mujtaba (A.S.) throughout the country including Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas with due respect and reverence. In a statement, issued from the Tehreek headquarters on Tuesday, he said the Muslim Ummah by presenting condolences and "Pursa" to Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) during the Ayyam-e-Aza has made it clear on the whole world that the followers of Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) are one Millat and share their grieves.

Agha Moosavi said all schools of thought should prove through presenting condolences during the 3-day Ayyam-e-Aza that oppression and brutality against any Maslak or country is considered oppression and brutality against the whole of the Islamic World rather the whole humanity and mankind, and that they consider supremacy of Islam dearer than any thing else. He said Majalis-e-Aza will be held and Azadari and Azadari processions and Taboots will be taken out throughout the country during the 3-day Ayyam-e-Aza. Special prayers will also be offered for the achievement of rights of the oppressed and have-nots of Kashmir and Palestine and for the integrity and solidarity of the motherland Pakistan.

Meanwhile, Markazi Ayyam-e-Aza Committee of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya has been formed with Allama Saqlain Ali Bokhari as Convener and Syed Tauseef Hussain Kazmi as Secretary, to organise programmes for Ayyam-e-Aza.
