The blessed month of Shoban has so far been celebrated widely throughout the world in anticipation of the last 3rd and 2nd last days of the month spent in fasting prior to the holy month of Ramadhan. Some of the events of Shoban have been  remembered by TNFJ of Pakistan, Syed Saeed Akhtar of Amroha in India and Sayed Asad Alam Naqvi of Qum in Iran.

Shrines - Hussain and Abbas (a.s.)RAWALPINDI, September 28: Hussain ('a) and Abbas ('a) are the preface of Karbala while Zainab ('a) and Zainul Abideen ('a.) are completion of Karbala, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan said. 

He was addressing a special gathering of birth anniversary of Hazrat Syeda Zainab ('a) marking the beginning of Wila-e-Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad Week on Saturday in Pakistan.

Agha Moosavi said the Wila-e-Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad demands from the followers of Rasool ('s) and Aal-e-Rasool ('a) not only to derive knowledge and information from this pious family but also disseminate their thinking and ideologies to the whole world of humanity that is in line with Quran and Islam. Because, he added, this is that high and supreme family which enjoys excellence and honour over the whole universe and their “Wila” has been termed mandatory rather termed Ajar-e-Nabuwwat and Risalat. He said every big and small, man and woman of this family is a complete example for the world of humanity to follow.

The Queen of Piousness

h

The TNFJ chief said the Queen of Piousness and Malika-e-Karbala & Nainawa Hazrat Zainab binte Ali ('a) by highlighting and disseminating the objectives and targets of the greatest sacrifice of inheritor of the Holy Prophet ('s), Syed-ush-Shuhada Hazrat Imam Hussain ('a) through her addresses in the bazaars of Kufa and Syria and in the courts of Yazid and Ibne Ziad made it clear to the oppressors and tyrant rulers of every era, that neither our forefathers bowed down before anyone, nor could they bow down before them in future, and we belong to that pious generation that could not be overcome by any oppressor and tyrant ruler of the Yazidi world.

He said Zainab binte Ali ('a) preached a great lesson to all,  including those belonging to the independence movements of Kashmir and Palestine, that the path of Karbala is the path of success and the key to achieve blessings and survival lay in following that path.  

Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, while greeting the world of oppressed and Muslims on the beginning of Wila-e-Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad Week, reiterated his resolve not to hesitate in offering any sacrifice for the Mission of Hussainiyyat by following the path of Zainab ('a). (TNFJ Report)

Birth Anniversary of Syed-ush-Shuhada Hazrat Imam Hussain ('a)

h

Hussain alaihi salam

RAWALPINDI, September 29: The Birth Anniversary of Syed-ush-Shuhada (Chief of the Martyrs) Hazrat Imam Hussain ('a) was observed throughout the country on Tuesday as a part of Wila-e-Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad Week. Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the TNFJ, Pakistan in a message, issued on the occasion, has said that Hussainiyyat is commensurate with eternal life and Yazidiyyat is the name of oppression, brutality and terrorism.

Chief of the Youth of Paradise

h

He said Sha’ban 3 is the auspicious day of birth of Chief of the Youth of Paradise, Leader of Independence and Freedom, Protector of the Religion and Shariah, Grandson of Rasool As-Saqalain, Prince of the Both Worlds Hazrat Imam Hussain ('a). 

Agha Moosavi said Ambiya, Mursaleen, and Aulia-e-Saleheen ('a), whose target has always been to save humanity from Taghoot’s oppression and disseminate justice and fair-play, are the most important source of nearness to Allah, subservience and humbleness. He said Hussain ibne Ali ('a.) is that innocent personality of the universe who enjoyed the honour of accomplishing the most important duty of protecting and defending the Prophethood being the inheritor of Ambiya.  

He said Imam Aali Maqaam ('a) wrote that exemplary history by offering the sacrifice along with his offspring and companions, for the revival of the objectives of religion & Shariah, human dignity and religious values, which is the best practical lesson for the supporters of independence and freedom and for the oppressed nations against the tyrant rulers and dictators even today. He said Hussain ('a) is the central point of all independence movements going on the world over.

Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that in following the footsteps of Imam Hussain ('a), lays the survival of us all. (Edited TNFJ Report)

The Birth of Hazrat Abbas ('a) 

h

Holy shrine of Abbas a.s. in Iraq

The Birthday of Hazrat Abbas ('a) 4th Shaban 1424 AH: May Allah in the Name of Hazrat Abbas ('a) remove all sorrow & fulfil the wishes of peoples in faith and belief. We remember Maula........

..Abbas ('a) who in childhood hurried with a tumbler of cool water on his head to quench Hussain’s thirst, which  made Hazrat Ali ('a) to stop in the midst of a speech with tears rolling down his face.

..Abbas ('a) who kept sharpening the sword in the night of Asshura keeping a firm wish to fight but not given permission. How Husain ('a) had repeatedly requested him to avoid fighting as much as possible and confine himself to the task of bringing water.

..Abbas ('a) who on innocent demand of the loving Sakina, gave Protection Cover Shield of his body, before going to the battle field.

..Abbas (a) who had taken Husain's ('a) permission and marched out of the camp with a “Neiza” in one hand, the flag in the other, and the bag on his shoulder, with the children following him in a group up to the outer perimeter of the camp.

..Abbas ('a) who’s wish and desire to carry water to thirsty Sakina & the children went unfulfilled.  

..That Abbas (a') who is well known in history for his valour, loyalty and similarity to his father, the Lion of God, Ali b. Abi Talib ('a)

..That who is also called “Babul-Hawaij” and comes soon when called by Momeneens in distress and pain for help.

The following is a short Namaz associated with him which is “very effective in problems and bad times." Saeed Akhtar

Namaz Hadia-e-Hazrat Abbas ('a):

Recite two rakats Namaj like Dawn Prayers (Namaj-e-Fajr) with Niat: I recite two rakat Namaj as “Hadia-e-Hazrath Abu Fazlil Abbas ( Alehis Salam) qurbatan il-lal-lah”; then after normal Tashah-dood ( Testification) and Salam recite the following Isteghasa with Eleven times Durood (Salawat) after and before.

Birth Anniversary of Hazrat Qasim ibne Hassan ('a)

h

RAWALPINDI, October 03: Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan has said that the fruit of religion and Shariat is being enjoyed courtesy of the brave personalities of the family of Muhammad ('s) and Aal-e-Muhammad ('a), and the faithful companions of Hussain ('a) who watered the tree of Islam with their blood and made the flag of Islam flutter high till eternity.

The Birth Anniversary of Hazrat Qasim ibne Hassan ('a) was observed throughout the country including Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas as a part of Wila-e-Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad Week on Saturday. Agha Moosavi said the son of elder Chief of the Youth of Paradise Hazrat Imam Hassan Al-Mujtaba ('a), Hazrat Qasim ('a) was brave, courageous and beautiful in the outlook. He kept a separate identity in every matter.  

He said his love for religion of Islam and Syed-ush-Shuhada Hazrat Hussain ibne Ali ('a), and longing for martyrdom could be adjudged from the fact that when Imam Aali Maqaam ('a) said that we all will be placed at the pedestal of Martyrdom, Shahzada Qasim ('a) asked whether his name would also be included in those martyrs. The Maula Hussain ('a) asked him “Son, how do you find the death?” Qasim ibne Hassan ('a) replied: “Uncle, I see death sweeter than honey”.

The way the grandson of Ali ('a), the nephew of Abbas ('a.), and son of Hassan ('a) displayed bravery in fighting out Yazidi forces in the hot plain of Karbala, the Ghazi Abbas Alamdar ('a) could not resist saying: 

The TNFJ chief said the spirit of martyrdom and display of courage and bravery in Karbala by Hazrat Qasim ('a.), is a complete practical lesson for the youngsters fighting for freedom in every era. He said whether it is Kashmir or Palestine, Iraq or Afghanistan, the central point of the whole oppressed world is the courage and bravery of youngsters of Hussaini Army.   

He said Islam enjoys singular supremacy amongst all religions of the world while the family of Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad enjoys supremacy over all and sundry. He said knowledge has been termed the foundation of religion, the height of which is owing to sacrifices rendered by the Chaste Family. Therefore, he said, knowledge about these great personalities is obligatory. That is why Wila-e-Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad has been termed obligatory. As a poet says:

Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said the top most objective of the family of Muhammad and Aal-e-Muhammad is to keep the supremacy of Islam and keep the human being abreast of its blessings and sanctity, struggling for which is worship, sacrifice, and blessing. He said every person, man, woman, younger and elder of this pious family, is the best example to follow for the world of humanity.  

He said the whole Muslim Ummah is aware that the Holy Prophet ('s)’s love for Hasnain Sharifain ('a) was not only being his grandsons rather owing to knowledge of Nabuwwat and Risalat, he was aware that they were the protectors of Tauheed, Risalat, Wilayat, and real spokesmen of Prophets’ inheritance and the peace and war on their part is only and only for disseminating the Kalmah-e-Haq. That is why, he said, the sacrifice of Hazrat Qasim ibne Hassan ('a) enjoys a central and unambiguous place amongst the offspring and companions of Hussain ('a) who laid down their lives in Karbala.

Day of Noshah (bridegroom of Karbala)

h

On the occasion of “Day of Noshah (bridegroom of Karbala)”, Agha Moosavi reiterated his resolve not to hesitate in offering any sacrifice for the supremacy of religion and motherland.

Birth Anniversary of Syed-us-Sajideen Hazrat Imam Zainul Abideen (a)

h

In Rawalpindi, addressing a Mehfil-e-Milad organized by Anjuman Ghulaman Aal-e-Imran ('a) at Bargah-e-Zainabia, Maulana Syed Qalab-e-Abbas Qummi said that Imam Zainul Abideen ('a) preached the practical lesson of worship and hard work to the world of humanity that is the source of the objective of creation and survival of humanity. 

Maulana Ijlal Haider Masoomi addressing the Mehfil-e-Sajjadia organized by Hay’at Tulaba-e-Islamia said that Syed-e-Sajjad ('a) was the spokesman and protector of Maktab-e-Wahi and Ilhaam and his life span spread over 57 years stands witness that no oppressor and tyrant ruler could bow down or divert the ill and weak Imam ('a) from the right path even in the darkest era of oppression and brutality. He said the way he exercised patience and forbearance in the streets and bazaars of Kufa and Syria and in the courts of Yazid and Ibne Ziad, and delivered his heart-rending addresses to announce what is truth, is a beacon of light for the whole oppressed world.  

Maulana Abbas Kazmi in his address said that Imam Zainul Abideen ('a) set up the great example of patience, forbearance, courage and bravery along with his father Hussain ('a) in Karbala. He said the Imam ('a) continued to highlight the Mission-e-Hussainiyyat even 35 years after Karbala and highlight the Yazidi designs through his detailed and informative addresses. 

In Federal Capital Islamabad, Allama Sadiqi addressing Jashan-e-Imam Sajjad ('a) at Masjid-e-Jafariya said, Dua is the ultimate weapon of the Momin when oppression and brutality is rife and one could not see anything in the darkness of ignorance. He said the personality of Imam Zainul Abideen ('a) is indifferent from all, he explained the meanings of submissiveness to the humanity through Dua besides telling them about the real relations of “Abd” and “Ma’bood”.  

Syed Zahid Abbas Kazmi addressing the Jashan-e-Imam Zainul Abideen ('a) Mehfil at Jamia-tul-Murtaza G-9/4 Islamabad said that collection of Hazrat Sajjad’s ('a) Ad’iyah i.e. Saheefah-e-Kamilah is the great inheritance for the oppressed world and guarantees the protection of human rights. He said Uswah-e-Sajjad ('a) is the best and complete example to follow for rooting out Yazidi conspiracies in every era. (TNFJ Report)
