Srinagar, Mar 20 (KNS): J&K Anjuman Sharie Shian’s Aga Syed Muntazir Mehdi on the occasion of the birth of this great Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib Al-Murtaza (a.s.) extended congratulations and felicitations to his grandson, the Imam of our time Imam Mehdi (a.j) and to all the Muslims Ummah.
In a statement issued to KNS, Aga Mehdi said “It is our prayer that his birth anniversary serves to unite the Muslim nation, to keep them safe, and to allow their continual development.”
I feel obliged to take the opportunity to say a few words for the Ummah:
His joyous birth anniversary should be a cause of unity and distancing from hatred and war, because he, along with Allah, the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and the Quran, is that pure personality which is a point of consensus of all Muslims. His sayings, his words of wisdom, his character and his knowledgeable sermons should be the lanterns to the path to Paradise.
The current situation of the Muslims is a cause of hurt and humiliation for all humans who have reason and feelings. We see in non-Muslim countries that people of different faiths and creeds live together with harmony and peace, while Muslim regions are blighted with the spillage of blood, degeneration, cursing and swearing at each other, accusing each other of kufr and shirk, and rather than trying to achieve unity and cooperation, establishing corruption all this has become the norm now. The rulers of most of these Muslim countries are content with watching the shedding of Muslim blood and they have no realization of what their obligations are.
Aga Mehdi added that the situations of the Islamic Countries are a source of embarrassment for us. We do not know for how long this shameful situation will continue, and we do not know when that day will come when the Muslims will place their hands in each others’ hands and proceed forward for the improvement and development of every nation and people, under the light of the saying of the Almighty: “The Believers are a Brotherhood.”
“My Lord! Bless Muslim brother to enable them to enlighten their lives with the directions of the Quran, the Prophet (saw) and Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s)” he prayed. (KNS)
