Moosavi terms Sehla Mosque profaning great shock, laments on Arab summit

By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, May 24: Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan has said that desecration of Sehla Mosque in Iraq is a great shock and food for thought for the world of humanity in general, and for the Islamic World in particular.

In a statement issued from Tehreek headquarters here on Monday, he said the allied forces desecrated Sehla Mosque between the Saturday and Sunday night that is a great place on earth after four mosques i.e. Masjid-e-Haram, Masjid-e-Nabawi, Masjid-e-Aqsa, and Masjid-e-Kufa.

He said according to a saying of Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S.), it is the mosque that is the place of Hazrat Sahib-ul-Asr Wazzaman, and Allah Has not sent any Messenger who did not offer his prayers at this mosque. He said there is a saying of the Masoom (A.S.) that if anyone goes to this mosque continuously for 40 Wednesdays, he can be blessed with the Ziarat of Hazrat Sahib-ul-Asr. Moreover, there is a saying that no one could cause any harm to those who take refuge in this mosque with true heart.

Agha Moosavi said international Taghoot desired to occupy all type of resources with the Islamic World and the oppressed nations and for this purpose every region, whether it is South Asia or Middle East, are under duress. The chief of international Taghoot staged the drama of 9/11 so as to frighten the freedom fighters of Kashmir and Palestine and create justification to interfere in other parts of the world and States by declaring the independence movement as terrorism. In her bid she first committed aggression against Afghanistan and then against Iraq destroying cities after cities there and when could not achieve enough results then started another war in which she is targeting holiest places and the shrines of holy personalities causing damage to them while the Islamic World is divided on the basis of Arab and non-Arab, countries and Masalik.

He said it is tragic that the Arab League meeting did not pass any resolution condemning desecration of holy sites and shrines of holy personalities, even the summit did not express concern over it.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Moosavi said that the Muslim Ummah should keep in mind that like Zionists are desecrating the Al-Quds for quite long, now the allied forces have also started the same posture playing the same game that indicates the evil designs of international Taghoot. The Muslim World should, therefore, read the writing on the wall ahead of them, remove their internal differences and start thinking about the deprived and oppressed Islamic World, otherwise everyone would have to wait for his turn.
