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.
