OUR CONDOLENCES
TO THE MUSLIM WORLD AND TO THE IMAM OF OUR TIME IMAM AL MAHDI (ATF) ON THE
MARTYRDOM OF IMAM ZAIN-EL-ABEDINE (AS)
OUR CONDOLENCE
TO OUR IMAM AND THE LOVERS OF AHLE MOHAMMAD (SAWW) ON THE BOMBINGS OF THE SHRINE
OF IMAM ALI AL HADI (AS) AND IMAM HASSAN AL-ASKARI (AS)
Haraka al
Haidaria & Cricklewood Youth Club condemns the recent attacks in and around the
shrines of the family of the Holy Prophet (saww) in Iraq. We will never forget
the tragic scenes in 1991 when the Baath party attacked the Shrine of Imam
Hussain (as) in Kerbala, as well as the bomb blast in Najaf 2003, the shrine of
Imam Ali (as), which killed many including Ayatollah Mohammad Baqer al Hakim (ra).
In the past year we witnessed the attack on the day of the Martyrdom of Imam
Musa al Kadhim (as) which resulted in a major stampede and the deaths of many
Muslims, the attack’s aimed at our Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his Holy
Progeny escalated to the attack on the shrine of the tenth and eleventh Imams,
Imam al-Hadi and Imam al-Askari.
We would
like to make it clear that these attacks on the family of the Prophet are
nothing new. In 1925 on 8th Shawwal, Wednesday, in the year 1345 AH (April 21,
1925), mausoleums in Jannatul al-Baqi , Madina were demolished by King Ibn Saud.
In the same year, he also demolished the tombs of holy personages at Jannat al-Mualla,
Makkah, where the Holy Prophet (s)'s mother, wife, grandfather and other
ancestors are buried.
The whole
Muslim world must unite in condemning all attacks on the Prophet and his family
(saww). Did not the Prophet (saww) enjoin us to Love them and follow them for
they are the Ark of Salvation. This has to be a wake up call to all Muslims, who
have neglected Imam Ali al Hadi (as) to a mere figure in twelve, who have
neglected attending the mosques to remember his birth or his martyrdom.
Hopefully, now we can all unite in beginning to change our ritualistic ways and
actually honour all members of the Holy Household and fill the mosques in all
their days of happiness and days of grief.
As Sayeda
Zaineb said to Yazid in Sham,
“However
hard you try, you will never be able to obliterate our love and memory from the
hearts of the people.’’
It hurts us
to imagine the pain of the Imam after seeing the destruction of the shrine of
his father and grandfather.
Haraka Al
Haidaria representatives are meeting with the different religious authorities
and establishments at this tragic time. Inshallah in the near future we will
inform you of the action to be taken.
We ask you
to please keep the Muslim Ummah and the whole of humanity in your prayers and
not to forget the power of supplication. The calamities faced by Ahle Mohammad
(saw) are so tragic and we see the follower of Abo Sufyan continue their attack
on Ahlul Bayt (as).
We remind
the faithful to pledge support and loyalty for our Imam (atf) and recognise the
reality of his movement. |
