By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan has announced to observe Youm-e-Inhidaam-e-Jannatul Baqee (Day of Demolition of Baqee Cemetery) on 8th Shawwal, throughout the country like other global parts for restoring the dignity of holy graves.

In a message issued here, he said the live nations keep Sha’a’ir (signs) for themselves that provides guarantee of protection and defence for their courage, honour and dignity. He said in the sight of Islam piety and piousness are the objective of human life and acme of success, and Sha’a’ir-e-Illahi (Divine Signs) are the signs of greatness and height on the basis of which respect for Sha’a’ir-Ullah are not only obligatory but is called piety:

One who respects signs of Allah, so that is piousness for heart (Al-Quran)

rather so much that one who respects Hurmaatillah, so that is good near his Allah. He said there is a saying of Hazrat Imam Zainul Abideen (A.S.) that goes:

Oh, son of Adam, there are three qualities that if you follow it would be good and a blessing for you, one of these is to make fearing from Allah a habit.

He said for fearing from Allah knowledge is obligatory, therefore, it is necessary that there should be awareness about Sha’a’ir-Ullah, and the Sha’a’ir-e-Illahi are: Signs of Allah, Selected Persons and their graves, signs and mausoleums and from amongst them are Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Mualla where Aulia, Saleheen, Ahle Bait Athaar, Ummahaat-ul-Momineen, and Sahaba Kubaar are buried.

The Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya, Agha Hamid Moosavi said that the Youm-e-Inhidaam-e- Jannatul Baqee is being observed throughout the country like other parts of the world on 8th Shawwal to highlight the dignity of these Sha’a’ir-e-Illahi with respect and honour. He appealed the Ahle Islam to raise voice of protest against the world of oppressors and brutality by fully participating in the protest meetings, rallies and religious gatherings being arranged for this purpose.

Meanwhile, Central Youm-e-Inhidaam-e-Jannatul Baqee Committee has been formed to organise TNFJ programmes throughout the country. Al-haaj Ghulam Murtaza Chauhan has been nominated as Convener and Malik-e-Ashtar as Secretary of this Committee.
