This issue was a conjecture which raised many questions in the minds of the Seminary students. It is our intention in this article is to first review the situation in Pakistan and Middle East, then look at the background behind creation of this dubious environment; then analyse the stance of the Supreme Leader on this matter.

Pakistan under the grip of Crisis

Pakistan is under the grip of crisis since long and it is only country in the world where the number of crisis is more than the number of days in fact it is not that every day one crisis gets birth but instead many crisis are raising their heads everyday. All these crisis which are political, economical, religious, social, ethical are not accidental from several aspects and neither are they natural. It is not that due to certain circumstantial causes these crisis have got birth or we can say that naturally the situations of Pakistan should have reached this stage. In fact majority of the crisis amongst these are intentional and are raised under certain planning and conspiracy. We are not going to list down all these different crisis over here which have been discussed before but we will do a brief summary of these and see that all these crisis belong to the same chain and are showing up sequentially.

Pakistan under the control of Terrorists

After passing through one sequential stage to another the situation has to come a stage where formally with Parliamentary approval the country is being handed over to terrorists. An agreement was made in SWAT with the terrorists though the terrorists don't have that much power to challenge the government and armed forces, neither their number was so big and there was no danger as such but since this was all planned to happen so it happened first in those areas which are out of government control and are referred to as Agencies in media like Waziristan.

Pakistan has six agencies out of which most of them are under self control like Kurram agency, Garhi agency , Khaibar agency and like this there are several agencies present in Pakistan amongst which Waziristan is one of them. These agencies were first under tribal control then later practically came under the control of terrorists but now it has been formally handed over to terrorists.

How was terrorism promoted?

These terrorisms did not drop from sky or grew from earth, they are the children of Saudi wealth, American planning and Pakistan's secret agencies efforts. They have nurtured them and got them to this stage and handed over this task to them and still under their care. They have announced a name sake war on terrorism but practically the terrorists have expanded and became more strong. First they were in Afghanistan then their activities moved into the independent areas or agencies in Pakistan and then moving further they interfered in the settled areas where there is government control like SWAT and other areas where they are moving forward.

All these are happening in stages; all the areas where they claimed to establish Shariah; the government has given them the permission. These areas are Hangu, Kohistan and Maansera which are border areas where they have been given formal permission for the establishment of Shariah. It has been given the name of an agreement but practically the entire area has been handed over to terrorists. This will not end here , they will gradually interfere in Peshawar and after borders next is Punjab. The situation in Balochistan is different and more dangerous. There is a different movement and mission ongoing which is for separation from Pakistan. It is possible that the borders will come under the control of terrorists but still it will remain part of Pakistan but the situation is delicate in Balochistan and is near to separation; and these elements mentioned before are behind this.

The current Political situation of country

The political situation of the country is such that it is ruled by a powerless government which has just been given an externally visible authority and has been brought to power under formal planning and agreements. Many bitter incidents were forced to bring this government into power. The Party leader was assassinated and then other individuals who had cases on them were released through ordinance and then all these were knitted together to bring this government in power. The name that can be given to this government is a "Delegated" or slave government which has been given certain assignments and instructions which they have to fulfil. They have been asked to bring new crisis, promote them and they are delivering their duties.

The most miserable era in Pakistan

Pakistan is passing through most miserable days and the situation and circumstances through which it is going are unique in the short history of half century in Pakistan. The dangers and distress of this level have never occurred in Pakistan before and in fact no other country has experienced such kind of circumstances. This is the national situation of Pakistan.

Shia's- The most oppressed sect in Pakistan

The entire Pakistani community is as such oppressed in all these crisis. The Pakistani community at present is the most oppressed community in the world; their leaders are treacherous, their rulers are traitors, their protectors are betrayers and enemy of the community itself. This community is painted with blood day and night. If you just browse through the news you will see that there is not a single day when some part of this community in some city is not soaked in blood; sometimes police, sometimes army, sometimes religious persons, sometimes non religious, labourers it could be anyone. But amongst all these categories the most oppressed sect is that of Shiite who is being oppressed from all sides not just on the basis that they are being openly assassinated.

What we see is that Shia's are being killed but in fact the issues facing Shia's in Pakistan are more than these killings. This is because other sects are also being killed and if you take into account the numbers, there are more persons killed from other sects than the Shias. If Shia's are being beheaded than others and even persons from armed forces are also getting beheaded. Like if you take the incident of 13th May whereby in one suicide attack 200 Sunni's were killed  and many were wounded; like this many other incidents in Lahore and other places where non Shia's are killed.

But despite of this we can say that Shia's are the most oppressed because when these incidents and tragedies happen with others then some caretaker, well wisher , sympathizer is present who heals their wounds and gives them some comfort and contentment but with Shia's the situation is completely opposite. It is not that there is no one there to heal the wounds of Shia's but instead the wounds of Shia's are further scratched and you are aware that scratching and sprinkling salt on wounds gives more pain than the wound itself and such incidents are found in history as well.

Like in the event of Karbala the pain from sprinkling of salt and scratching of wounds was more than the wounds given by swords. We have heard this statement from Imam Sajjad (a.s) that he specified the cause behind his continuous mourning as Shaam (Damascus) and not Karbala because in Shaam the wounds received in Karbala were scratched and sprinkled with salt. This is the reason we are saying that the Shia's are most oppressed sect in Pakistan; they are helpless, supportless being killed in one sided away and in most cases neither an FIR lodged nor a case filed and even in such incidents whatever namesake formalities are generally done that also does not takes place in most instances. The government has no sympathy, neither the Police, armed forces, media and even the Shia leaderships and guardians, neither the political parties, welfare groups and international human rights organizations show any concern.

The purpose behind making Shia's as targets

It is an established fact that the Pakistani Agencies are involved in all these terrorist operations and are guiding these activists groups either directly or indirectly. They given them protection and information. They have selected Shia's for practice and rehearsal. Shia's are not an obstacle or interference to anyone neither in politics nor in religious affairs. According to them they have terminated the strength of Shia's, broken their back and this is true to a certain extent. Whatever they desire they do; there is no obstruction or difficulties faced from Shia's but still they have made Shia's as the target. The reason behind this is that in order to keep the blood of their activists warm they have selected  Shia's for practice and rehearsal. They need ordinary operations so that for big operations in future they should have trained persons present with them and for this reason they have selected Shia's as the target.

The reality of Taliban

Who are these people who are doing terrorism in the name of Taliban or using the name of Taliban? Taliban is a highly narrow minded religious sect or group who prefer return to ancient trends or we can say that it is the distorted face of  the historical group of Khawarij and in fact more dangerous than them. But the task which is being done in Pakistan is not from Taliban it is just the title of Taliban. In reality they are those terrorists and criminals who were in the prisons of Pakistan and who had nothing to do with religion, ideology or anything else. In different parts of the country such persons are found like dacoits, gangsters, rowdies etc who were freed from the prisons. There were some who had death sentences on them or were told that through the court we will finish you and hence death was hovering over their heads. An agreement was made with them that we are giving you freedom on the condition that you will work under our supervision. Hence majority of these terrorists are such kind of persons because this border area was the fortress and place of refuge for all criminals in Pakistan. The criminals from Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan after doing crimes were taking refuge in these areas and agencies. What do these criminals need? Weapons, means and a target for brutalities and the Agencies gave them all this. Thus the majority of these terrorists are of such type but the elements in their leadership are different, they are not criminals. They are the ones who have political interests inside Pakistan and the Pakistani Agencies are also indulged in this. The foreign agencies are also involved in this and there is more interference from foreign agencies than the Pakistani agencies.

There is no religion for terrorists

They have no religion because for them neither Shia's are important nor Sunnis; they just need people to kill hence they keep on killing brutally and do not care about anything. There are examples present for this but since we are Shia's we only take interest about Shia's and do not take others seriously. There is an independent area of Dara Aadam Khel which is at 30 kms distance from Peshwar. These are astonishing games played by Pakistani Establishment that on two sides there are settled areas and in between this town of Dara Aadam Khel in between the mountains has been declared as a free region. This is the place where all these elements are nurtured. In Dara Aadam khel from amongst all the terrorism operations only two or three Shia's are killed and rest all other big and brutal killings have been of all Sunni's only; similar situation exists in other areas as well.

Despair within Shia's

Shia's are living an oppressed life in Pakistan whereas others are also getting killed and oppressed in a similar way. But others still have hopes, they have someone to heal their wounds hence they  have hopes that one day these problems will get resolved and we will live a comfortable life. But for the Shia's here there is no ray of hope seen. When they raise their eyes they do not see any hopes up to far off horizons and this enhances their oppression. They do not see any encouragement or support from anywhere. Though there are many present to sprinkle salt on the wounds of Shia, there are many who are marketing and selling the blood of Shias but there is no one present to heal their wounds.

The need for attention towards the Shia's of Pakistan

The Pakistani Shia's under these grievous and painful circumstances deserve sympathy, love and pity from the entire world. But everyone has closed their eyes; there is no attention from the Pakistani Government  nor from Pakistani politicians; neither the world of human rights or United nation cares about it; neither the Western nations nor human rights institutes who everyday sing the song that they are paying attention. There is no one paying heed to Shia's in Pakistan.

Parachinar - A Role Model of Resistance and Perseverance

In this peak of oppression one big oppression would be not having precise information about these incidents and there is no proper analysis of this oppression. Since Parachinar was brought in the limelight amongst all these oppressive incidents and its voice was raised in different other areas of Pakistan let us take a look at Parachinar and other areas. Whatever happened in Parachinar is very upsetting in one regards but in other sense it opens the way of hopes for other Pakistani Shia's. Whatever happened in Parachinar should happen in all other areas. The tyranny is at its peak in Dera Ismail Khan and Quetta.

The brutal killing of Shia's in Quetta

Quetta can be considered as more oppressed because whatever cruelty happens on the Shias in Quetta even the news do not reach out. Media also does not publishes any news about Shia killings instead the title of their news is that unidentified persons were killed by unidentified persons. And we don't even think and ponder as to who are these unidentified who were killed? Who were those unknown beings who were killed? The Saryaab street in Quetta has become the slaugther house for Shia. Whatever incidents happen over there ninety percent targets are Shia's and even the news do not reach the other areas of Pakistan and even Qom as to who was martyred in Quetta? There is no one to look after them despite the fact that few hundred thousands population is resident in this area but living in a state of utmost of fear and terror. We can say that even in those areas where Shias are very few and enemies of Shia's are more, there also Shia's are not living in this state of fear the way they are in Quetta. Though its a big population and also strong in all aspects; they have political and civil rights but still the fear that prevails there won't be present in Punjab and even border areas. This population in Quetta has the potential to defend not just themselves but they can defend and give protection to the Shia's of entire Pakistan. The Shia's of Quetta are strong but practically they are subdued under awe and terror. The fear which is hovering over them by carrying corpses every other day has turned it into a grievous situation.

The third sensitive area for Shia's in Pakistan

The third area which deserves importance is Hangu which is a town in the border province. When you travel West from Kohat there is a Shia belt where after few villages there is this town of Hangu. The majority are non Shia's in this town; the Shia's are very less and completely insecure and unprotected besieged from all sides. Their lives, wealth, dignity and chastity of women are all in extreme danger at this time though this area is a district under government control; it is not an Agency .

These three points are highly sensitive for Shia's i.e. Dera Ismail Khan, Hangu and Quetta at this instance. Though the type of problem in each of them differs; in Quetta Shia's are in majority but in the state of fear; Dera is showing perseverance but in extremely oppressed state whereby big cruelties have been done in Dera with incidents happening daily but utmost sensitivity is in Hangu. But in relevance to this topic the issue which came in the limelight was that of Parachinar which came in media also.

The epic (Hamasa) of Parachinar is the way of Salvation for Shiite

One dimension of what happened in Parachinar is very grievous where many lives were lost, economic losses took place and many more losses happened in which the most precious asset got disabled there was the memory of Martyr Hussaini, Hujjatul Islam Sayed Ali Hussaini who got wounded there and his legs were amputated there. This is one example of the losses in Parachinar and then many more lives were lost, many martyred and wounded but still there was an epic (Hamasa) created in Parachinar and unfortunately this dimension was not brought to notice either by the people of Parachinar nor others. A great epic took place in Parachinar which in reality has demonstrated the path of salvation to the Shia's of Pakistan and this path was regional perseverance. Parachinar has become a symbol of resistance for the Shia's of Pakistan. Parachinar was besieged for 1.5 years from all sides and roads were closed. It is the border town of Pakistan and right on the border of Afghanistan. It is surrounded by non Shia tribes from all sides. There is Afghanistan on one side, Agencies on other, one side is Waziristan and other remaining side are those areas which are under control of Taliban.

Facing siege with perseverance

There is no route secure in Parachinar and for 1.5 years the routes were closed on them and they were besieged. But still they did not loose courage and did not submit. In this period medicines did not reach them, no food, the daily use commodities were not reaching them, no treatment, no movement of people and major losses. The land of Parachinar is a agricultural land and its cultivates very good quality peanuts, tomatoes, potatoes and several other vegetables. The farmers dependencies were on the sale of these crops but since there were was no sale possible they had to distribute this free to everyone and still a big lot got spoiled. Thus the only means of their earning was damaged. Under this situation of poverty it is not easy to show resistance for one and half years, to remain firm and determined for one and half year, to see the children mourning and to keep the wounded in their laps for this much period, to dig graves and bury the dead for one and half year. It is easy to speak but it is very difficult for man to show perseverance for even one and half day. Even if you think seriously that all this for eighteen months it would send shivers across the spine; and amongst all this terror, barbarism and death everywhere.

The lessonful face of Parachinar

The negative face of Parachinar was shown instead of presenting it as a model to people and we believe that if the Shia's take some lessons from Parachinar they can get salvation in Pakistan. Specifically in Quetta, because the Shia's in Quetta are much more than Parachinar and also quite strong, wealthy with many specialized and positive qualities present in them. But they have lost their souls, such a big quantum of people who are just thinking to leave Pakistan as soon as they can and running towards Australia and other foreign nations. These are the assets of religion and Shiite which are getting wasted in Quetta and is running out of our hands into the hands of West and others. It is shameful that such a big population and in this state. For them Parachinar is a role model.

The message of regional resistance from Parachinar

The lesson which we get from Parachinar is that the only way for the salvation of Shia's in Pakistan is regional resistance. We should leave this expectancy hope that someone will come to resolve all our issues overnight. We have passed twenty years in this hope but nothing happened and even if sit for twenty more years like this nothing will happen instead the only way of resolution is what these crusaders of Parachinar have taught us. There was no one who came for their help and they did all this with empty bellies in the state of thirst. This state of poverty and starvation prevails over majority of the Shia's in Pakistan. The believers in Parachinar have shown that even in the state of poverty and weakness if you have self respect left inside you then a lot can be secured and saved. If this cut off border region surrounded by agencies can fight and resist under a siege then Chakwal, Dera Ismail Khan, Dera Gazi Khan can also demonstrate perseverance, Quetta and Multan can also do the same, Lahore and Islamabad can also show resistance who have all the means present with them. They can do a better resistance than Parachinar. Parachinar is prestigious for all Shia's but it has been presented in the opposite way. In this battle both the parties have suffered loss but the losses incurred by the enemies is much larger and this battle has ended successfully in the favour of Shias. Though the Shia's have suffered losses in Parachinar but the stroke which the enemy has received now they won't have the courage to even look at the Parachinar with a crooked eye for sometime at least unless they gather the terrorists and motivate them.

This is the situation of Shia's in Pakistan which is very sensitive and has been briefly analyzed over here.

The background behind raising this issue in Iran after delay

The students and people from outside Iran (specifically from Pakistan) are living in the Islamic Republic and a revolutionary seminary. They are all associated and aware about the situation and they keep on receiving analysis and information related to the events and it is mandatory also. It is an advice that these students should not live here as strangers and should not pass by closing eyes on everything considering at as Iranian.

There are certain things which are not Iranian though present on the land of Iran; their association is with Islam. You don't pass by closing your eyes on Imam Raza (a.s) and Lady Masooma (a.s) because they are not related to Iranians though they are buried in Iran but since they are the capital of religion. Can you ignore Imam Raza (a.s) and Lady Masooma (s.a)? The way you cannot ignore these sacred personalities and if you do it will be a sin, similarly you cannot ignore the revolution it will be a sin to ignore. Similarly you cannot ignore Imam Khomeini (r.a), the Wilayat-e-Faqeeh, the leader and even the Shia's in Iran; if you to do so it will be a sin. In the discussed affairs being in Iran does not mean that they are Iranians and we have nothing to do with them, in fact we should be aware of the situations here and should have good analysis and interpretations.

The need for awareness with global and national circumstances

We should be aware of what is going on in our country and outside the country. We should reserve time to understand the incidents happening here and there ; if we are not capable to do this then there are such persons present who can do the analysis and interpretation and make us aware with the realities; amongst them the foremost is the Supreme Leader who gives us a precise information about the different circumstances in the entire world and tells us what is the world up to now. The faith which we have on Ibn-e-Maalik and Mulla Abdullah (Arabic Grammar expert) at least this much we should have on our Wali-e-Faqeeh. The Supreme Leader is more aware of the current affairs than Mulla Abdullah would be with Arabic grammar. If we don't know something like Arabic we refer to the book and try to understand trusting it and then using it for understanding Quran, then when a aware and visionary leader analyzes global situation and presents to us we should accept it and understand what he is trying to say. We should be concerned with the national and international political affairs and there are many such personalities who can keep us aware , I have just taken the name of one specific personality.

The different thoughts present in Iran

We should be aware that within Iran there are different organizations, parties, school of thoughts and there are people who follow different lines. We should be well informed about the existing groups and the lines at present in Iran. In these groups the scholars and intellectuals are also present, and they are present in the seminary as well as outside. There is one majority who are revolutionary and supporters of Wali-e-Faqeeh though in regards to practice there are differences and they are all not same, but majority are supporters.

The opponent groups in Iran

In Iran there are certain opposition groups also present. There are some who are against the revolution and the Islamic system, some are against the personality of the Supreme Leader and there are some who are against the current government and President Ahmedinjad. They are not against the leader and revolution like those candidates who were defeated by President Ahmedinjad in the first election none of them is the supporter of President and this is the flaw in Iranian culture that once defeated in a contest they turn out to be permanent enemies. And for some they never expected to be defeated by Ahmedinjad are bound to be naturally in opposition.

The opponents are waiting for an opportunity

All the groups are active; just like the revolutionary majority is active the other groups are also active. The anti revolutionary, anti leader,  anti government and anti Ahmedinjad are all active and always wait for an opportunity or an excuse to spill out the fire burning in their hearts. If you judge the opposition you will realize that all this is really happening and if you don't have time or other means of judging this then just read the headlines of the different newspapers hanging on the paper stall. You will realize how many are anti government, how many newspapers are supporting the government, how many newspapers are just spilling out venom, how many are supporting? If just do this simple analysis it will testify what I am saying. We can even take the names of such groups but since this is their internal issue we won't interfere with it but those things which are of our interest we have to look into those even the locals don't like it.

At present there are many groups who are looking for excuses to defame the personality and bring down the status of President Ahmedinjad and for this I am quoting a fresh example case. This year the growth of potatoes in Iran was in abundance. Even after fulfilling the market requirements tonnes of potatoes were left with the farmers. In order to protect the farmers from suffering losses due to stocking potatoes which would perish the government brought all the excess potatoes from the farmers. This was a very good move but the question is what should government do with this, the same problem of these getting perished is here as well. So they decided to distribute it free in some cities and towns. They distributed potatoes free in universities and other different places which was really good to distribute food free of cost.

The anti government group made this also an issue. The place where a truck of potatoes was getting offloaded few potatoes rolled below the tyres and got crushed. The opponents took pictures of this scene and posted on their websites and published in the newspaper that this  cruel government is stampeding potatoes. This was the doubt created in this President's government which was really a lowly and disgraceful weapon but the point is they are always waiting for an opportunity.

The sympathy for Parachinar - Hatred towards Ahmedinjad

The incident and epic of Parachinar took place almost 1.5 years before where Shia's demonstrated the proof of their presence. At that time no news agency brought any news and no group was interested to talk about that and everyone was unconcerned. After this long period all of a sudden news agencies and websites raise the issue of Parachinar. They give this the title of Shia Holocaust and several other titles. I will talk about the source of origin for this and its past from where this took off.

This was not the sympathy towards Parachinar by these newspapers and websites in fact it was an excuse. They were happy that they have got an effective weapon to overcome the government. This means to say that the government is oblivious towards Parachinar and they have no pains for the Shias and instead of showing any sympathy towards the Shiite the government is supporting only Sunnis.  Though it should be said that the writer also felt the pain after 1.5 years, now his stomach has started to ache for Parachinar. In order to take strong steps against the government their tone became very harsh and they used to say Where is the government? Where is the President? Why are the claimants of supporters of oppressed negligent? the Shiite is about to be drowned and such and such things are happening? This was the extreme way in which they raised this issue. First one took it off, then second, then third and it kept on spreading.

"Taabnaaq"

The website that first raised this issue was "Taabnaaq" and it is associated with a big personality who had lost the election against Ahmedinjad. Then later other news agencies and sites took this from "Taabnaaq". Though Rajae News presented the news but then immediately on the next day came out with a denial that the news published was not correct but "Taabnaaq" did not deny it. This site was first operating with the name of "Baaztaab" which was closed down by the court of Islamic republic because it was speaking lies against the government and the President; they were doing character assassination of the President by using false information. On this basis the court took notice of this and took investigation ; it should be noted that it was not the government who informed the court, the court itself took notice of this. They penalised the site and ordered its closure. Then they booked the domain with the name of Taabnaaq and again started the site with the new name. This issue and news went to other sites through Taabnaaq but the source from where it came to Taabnaaq is still not known.

It is not known who inspired them

The incidents were exaggerated through professional journalism tactics. After one and half year they developed so much sympathy towards the Shiite; after eighteen months they got the news that there is a town by the name of Parachinar in Pakistan with some Shias living there and some oppression is happening with them over there. As such this was not the sympathy towards Parachinar it was the hatred towards Ahmedinjad and the government due to which this news was spread. From this site this news was picked by the Jamoore Islami newspaper whose bitter relation with Ahmedinjad is well known. They neither had any hatred towards Gaza nor any sympathy towards Parachinar; it was just their hatred towards government and they got this weak point with the government to defame it. In order to defame the government they did not differentiate between potatoes and Shias; whether Shias are stampeded or potatoes but if the government is getting defamed then this is good news else they had no concern with the Shias of the entire world.

It is clear that when the incident of Gaza happened the battle in Parachinar had ended four months back and an agreement had been made. What we mean by agreement is that the decision of ending the battle was taken by both parties though the difficulties are still present till date but the severity and peak which was present than is not there. So why this issue was raised after four months? This was because the government had shown interest and concern with Gaza hence they wanted to take advantage out of this.

Hatred of Supreme Leader under the umbrella of Love for Shiite

The second group which was more dangerous than the first group had enemies of revolution and leader. This group got ready to eat food which was prepared by the opponents of Ahmedinjad. Now this is another question on where did the original raw material had come from? This was prepared by the opponents of Ahmedinjad but the opponents of revolution and leader took this as a good opportunity to do propaganda against leadership. This is the reason they raised this issue against Leadership and provoked a question in the minds of the seminary students. These students did not raise the question as to what Ahmedinjad did about Parachinar; their question was what the leader did about Parachinar? And this question was raised in their minds. There were big hunters present in this group who were more talented than the anti government group. Thus they did this propaganda as to what the Leader did for Parachinar , what did he say about Parachinar whereas you all know what the leader has said about Gaza, about the supporters of Gaza and those who are martyred for the support towards Gaza. The opponents picked this issue using it against the Supreme Leader so that by raising this question amongst the followers of Supreme Leader and the followers of Ameerul Momineen (s.a.) they would create anxiety. This is an experimented formula which has proven successful in history as well. The formula is to catch such psychological tactics, sensitive issues and the painful nerve of the community because everyone has high pain for religion and ideology. Thus an anxiety was created with this tactic and hence it is necessary for us to take a closer look and do a precise analysis of both these issues (Gaza and Parachinar).

The negligence of name sake sympathizers

The topic is not Parachinar it is the Shia's of Pakistan but the issues were raised for Parachinar and neither the name of Hangu, Dera and any other place was taken. These name sake sympathizers of Shia's don't even know that Shia's are oppressed in Chakwal  and Dera also in Pakistan. You know that in Dera there is a big family of Sayyed's residing there since forty years. All their assets were looted and they are stranded out on streets now by Taliban since last one year and no one helped them by a single penny. They are also Shia but no one took their name, no one took the name of Hangu and Bangash but they just raised the issue of Parachinar. In reality those who did this had no sympathy towards Parachinar and if you inquire to see what have they done for Parachinar in last one and half year. They have just shed crocodile tears in last one and half year.

The veiled criminals should be disgraced

I wanted to mention this point also about those who did not do anything for the oppressed Shia's from Parachinar to Quetta. Specifically those who had means to help, who could afford to help, those who have authority over the wealth of the community, those who control the community treasure house, Khums; they did not took any step for the Shia's of Pakistan. A list of such personalities should be made and they should be condemned in Public exposing their names openly. These are those faces who could have done something for Shia's but they did not do anything. They should be exposed openly but unfortunately all these are left and that name is taken who has done so much for Shia's, who has sacrificed everything for Shiite. Whereas these veiled personalities are sitting behind the curtains who did not gave a moment for Shiite, not a single penny they gave for Shiite but instead they have eaten several hundred thousands from Shiite. During the earthquake in Kashmir the donation done by the Pakistani community was historically unique whereas the usurpation of this money done by certain aid groups for the earthquake victims was also unique.

The Shia community is prepared to sacrifice everything for their oppressed brethrens and they are doing also and the same money is being usurped by these usurpers. It is a taunt about Sadqa (Charity); that Sadqa (Charity) eats away many calamities whereas a Maulvi eats off all Sadqa (Charity). These usurpers of Sadqa and Khums are really talented and they should be openly condemned. Shiite is getting slaughtered and they are sitting silent whereas they could do a lot.

The essence of Gaza War

The War in Gaza is against Judaism, Zionism, Infidelity, global arrogance and an usurping government which has besieged the first Qiblah of the Islamic world. They have separated a part of the Islamic nation and made it their property. It is a battle against them. The Arabs tried a lot to make this battle a battle of Arabs, a community battle; but Imam Khomeini (r.a) declared the Palestinian issue as Islamic. He took this from these treacherous and shameless Arabs. There is global arrogance against the Palestinians; certain Palestinian groups have sold Palestine in the name of dialogues. Yasir Arafat and his successor Mahmoud Abbas, Fatah and other groups have done this treachery and today they are regretting on this.

Hamas - The child of Revolution and Travellers of Karbala

During this period a group emerged in Palestine by the name of Hamas. It was the child of Islamic revolution and an outcome of Islamic Revolution and Hizbullah. Those who laid the foundation of Hamas are thousand times better than those name sake spectator Shia's because they were the true Shia's. They learned the path of Shiite and by acting on it proved what is the path of Hussain ibn Ali. One way is to cook several pots of food in the name of Hussain ibn Ali and eat it; another way is what Hamas has shown which is to come out and stand against the Yazidiat of our era, against arrogance, oppression and tyranny in the name of Hussain ibn Ali and one by one making all the slogans of Hussain ibn Ali practical.

Martyr Mutttaheri said this before the revolution during the era of Shah that the soul and heart of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s) is bleeding for Palestine. At that time there was no visible Shia in Palestine and Imam Khomeini (r.a) from Najaf gave the permission to use one portion of the Khums for helping Palestinians and for the freedom of the first Qiblah of Muslims. There was no Shia and no Shia Madrassa's there and other respected Marajae also gave and even today give permission to spend Khums money for supporting Palestine.

The character of Hizbullah and Hamas

The Islamic revolution is very strong today due to Hamas and Hizbullah. America is weighing the possibility of attacking Iran since long but is not have the courage to do so. One reason for their lack of courage is the firmness of the system from inside; the strength of leadership and the forces in Iran  But one more effective cause which has been accepted by global political analysts is the presence of Hizbullah and this is something worth pondering for us.

The Islamic Seminary and Madrassah (Schools) at the mercy of Islamic Revolution

We are residing in this seminary (of Qom) since decades and utilizing the facilities and licking the assets of revolution. These seminaries are the results of the Islamic Revolution; this system and centralization is all the outcome of revolution because prior to revolution the Islamic education was done in forests. Our respected teacher Hasan Zaade Amouli while delivering lecture in the Mosque of Lady Masooma (s.a) said that we should be grateful that we are sitting on the ground floor of the mosque and attending lectures; all this is because of this great personality (Imam Khomeini (r.a.). Imam (r.a) addressed the seminaries once and said that today you are sitting comfortably in your seminaries and taking religious education and doing research work. And when you are asked to go to the battlefield you say our time will be wasted, we suffer on our studies. If these martyrs were not there, if these crusaders would not have been there, if these war fronts were not there then no one would have given you the opportunity to even study in your seminaries. Similar to what has happened in Najaf where they were not allowed to continue their education and thrown out of the seminary along with the books.

Betrayal on the food mat of Revolution

Today you (theological students in Qom) are sitting at the dining table of Revolution and still betraying it. You are eating from the revolution, studying from the revolution and become scholars and elites and then doing treachery with the revolution or remaining unconcerned with the revolution is nothing but a big betrayal.

The devilish plots against Revolution

The enemies have made several attempts to isolate revolution. Several plots were made to terminate Hizbullah but Hizbullah has spread and shown its effects. Hamas is the result of Hizbullah and today they are considered as an Iranian group. An Iranian group means a Shia group, a group of Wali-e-Faqeeh which means an outcome of Hizbullah. Hence they want to finish them at any cost. It was difficult for them to finish Hizbullah because this opportunity has gone out of their hands now but for Hamas they were confident they could eradicate it and hence they invaded Gaza and that too with the cooperation of Arabs.

Zionists Unity and Western Unity against Hamas

The President of Israel in a press conference in Italy said that our purpose for attacking Gaza was to secure our settlements from the missiles of Hamas, to terminate their missile power and to block the Rafah route for Hamas. Our purpose was not to wipe off Gaza, eradicate its complete existence and to finish Hamas. This was desired by some Arab leaders from us. Egypt, Jordan and Mahmoud Abbas demanded that this is the best opportunity to eradicate Hamas. Today some of our Shia's say that Iran is supporting the Wahabbis, it is support Gaza and it is supporting Hizbullah to topple down the Lebanese government. Is it necessary that unless someone becomes orthodox in love and starts taking intoxicants (like a Shia group in Pakistan does) he cannot be considered as Shia? Till the time someone does not becomes like me he cannot be considered as Shia? Am I the standard for Shiite? We need to look at the fundamentals of Shiite and if our understanding cannot reach that level then we should at least try to ponder over what the Supreme Leader has said about Hamas and Gaza.

Hamas - Follower of Wilayat

When the epic of Gaza ended, Hamas became victorious and Israel could not achieve its motive the first thing which Hamas did was to kiss the hands of the Supreme Leader. Khalid Mishal congratulated the Supreme Leader that this success is due to your commandments and guidance.

The battle of Gaza and the front against Hamas

The stand of America, Israel and Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt who gave verdicts of illegitimacy for supporting Hamas were all same and some name sake Shia's sitting in Qom and outside Qom also have the same stance as that of Israel , America and Egypt and at the same time they are claiming to be Shia's. What kind of Shia's you are? When are you are of the same thoughts as those of assassinators of Shia, as that of Israel than what type of Shia supporters you are? This is not sympathy towards Shia, this is not sympathy towards Parachinar; it is the hatred towards the Leadership, they are just spilling out the fire of enmity burning inside their heart against the Leader. If they had the pains for Parachinar then they would have done something for Parachinar in the eighteen months of epic there. You remained quite on the incident of Parachinar for eighteen months but when the Leader spoke about Gaza then after four months of agreement in Parachinar you raised this issue so that those with loose ears and weak minds can become anxious and impacted with this. And it happened some got anxious and perplexed, though it should not happen if we analyze the circumstances, do some analysis on the situation of Pakistan and the global situation; then there would be no way to be disturbed.

Shia Sunni battle - A desire of Global Arrogance

Whatever is happening in Pakistan is not a Shia Sunni battle, it is a doubt and our mistake and incorrect analysis. Though from both sides attempts are made in full flow to turn this into a Shia Sunni battle but it is not the case because with all praise to God they are not successful in this. Every Pakistani is aware about how Shia and Sunnis are living together in Pakistan. In all the cities Shias and Sunnis are living together, in many places 90% population is Shia's and there are also cases that there is only one or two house of Shia's in a full town of Sunnis and in few cases it is the opposite also. Most of the workers in offices are Sunni's with few Shia employees in between. In government, forces, police and other organizations majority are Sunni so if this was a Shia Sunni battle when why are they not fighting in offices? in companies? in buses? in flights? in markets? Are Shia's and Sunnis not partners in many businesses? In some places the owner is Shia whereas employees are Sunni's and in other cases it is the opposite. So where is Shia Sunni battle in Pakistan? Though from both Shias and Sunni's there are some evil wishers who always desire to convert this into a Shia Sunni battle.

Terrorists are neither Shia nor Sunni

In Pakistan the terrorists, the brutal killers, the beasts and barbaric is a group which is neither related to Shia nor to Sunni's. Though they associate themselves with Sunni in most cases but even the Sunni school does not permit them to do what they are doing. Though in the beginning they took the human resources from the Madrassah, but as such they are followers of three things; American agencies, Saudi wealth and Pakistani Agencies. They have raised them and you can see that these beasts are killing both Shia's and Sunni's.

Attempt to turn the battle between Islam and Infidelity into Shia Sunni battle

America has this longing desire that the battle between Zionists and Palestinians, Muslims and Judaism, Muslims and arrogance, America and Muslims should become a Shia Sunni battle. They have made serious attempts for this in Iraq and Pakistan but the question why it has still not turned into this ? This was because of the wisdom and vision of some people else the kind of capital which has been used for this should have easily turned this into a Shia Sunni battle across the Islamic world. This is where we feel the need for Leadership. When the reigns of affairs come into the hands of ignorant and fools then we need visionary leaders who can protect the Ummah.

The difference between the battle in Pakistan and Palestine.

Our expectations are that the way the Supreme Leader has issued statements for Palestine he should have done the same and even more harsh statements for Parachinar. We need to think with cool minds that in Gaza a Muslim group is fighting against Judaism. They are fighting against an usurper government, against arrogance. In Pakistan there is no government fighting against Shia's at least on the exterior. There are two groups and not sects fighting in Pakistan. The day you (theological students) reach the stature of Marjai'yat and if you face such a situation will you issue same statement for both? Will you issue same verdict for both man and woman? Will you issue same verdict for someone travelling and someone in his home town?

Thus it is essential to see who is the opponent in Palestine and who in Pakistan? In Pakistan the enemies want to transform this into a Shia Sunni issue and they want the Shias and their leader to issue a statement which they can present it as a proof to the global Sunni's that Shia's are your enemies because till date the Sunni's are not convinced about this.

The secret behind  the Islamic worlds admiration of Shia leadership

The most beloved leader for Sunnis is Sayed Hasan Nasrallah. You would have read in news that when Egypt took strong steps against Hizbullah a survey was done in Egypt, the result of which has shown that there are three beloved personalities for Egyptians; Syed Nasrallah, Khalid Mishal and Ahmedinjad. The arrogant powers need some strong excuse to remove their love from the hearts of the Sunnis. Every Sunni in Pakistan sends salutations on Ahmedinjad. Few days back when Doctor Hadad Adil visited Pakistan; though he is not a supporter of Ahmedinjad but when he saw the love of Pakistanis and their expressions for Ahmedinjad he was also forced to support Ahmedinjad. He did the launch of Ahmedinjad book "The idol breaker of Imperialism" and in this gathering almost everyone was Sunni.

Today if you ask the desires of Sunnis on what they wish? They wish that Pakistan should also get a leader like Ahmedinjad, the Sunni World should get a leader like him. The love for Shia leadership which has spread globally is getting out of control. And it is not that Sayed Nasrallah is filling the bags of preachers with dollars and sending them to promote Shiite.

Shia Leadership and dominance over the hearts of Muslims

The Shiite should witness the propagation of Sayed Nasrallah, he has captured the Islamic world, the Arab world and same thing has been done by Ahmedinjad, he has won the hearts of entire world. The world is sending salutations on these personalities. Those name sake supporters of Shia's should not come of their wells and by simplicity try to spill mud on these personalities giving an opportunity to enemies and confusing the minds of people. The enemies want this to be transformed into a Shia Sunni battle and the day it happens the love for Sayed Nasrallah, Ahmedinjad and Supreme Leader will exit from the hearts of Sunnis. And it should be our wisdom and attempt to not to allow this to happen.

Shia Sunni conflicts are illegitimate

It is neither in our favour nor beneficial to Islam and neither does religion, Quran, Sunnah and Ahlulbayt (a.s) give permission for a Shia Sunni battle or provoke differences between Shia and Sunnis. Even if you are not prepared to listen to the Leader than you can listen to non revolutionary Marajae. Ayatullah Wahid Khurasani issued a verdict that we should compromise with Sunnis and if they trouble you we should bear it and you have no rights to stand against him. We are talking about Sunni's and not those enemies of Ahlulbayt, the Nasibi's because the Sunnis do possess love for Ahlulbayt.

The great vision of Supreme Leader

If the supreme leader starts to openly support the Shia's in Pakistan and given one small statement as per our expectation; and if he adopts the same stand which we expect from our sparrow sized mind then this will ignite fire globally, a Shia Sunni battle will start, Shia killings will start in Pakistan that Shia's are enemies of Sunni's and this way we loose the hearts which we have won.

The secret behind success in Parachinar

Do you consider that the community which fought for eighteen months, were besieged, all roads closed and still dominated the beasts, demonstrated perseverance, won the battle and suffered big losses is an ordinary community? The Hindu's in Pakistan say that we have witnessed with our eyes that there was some supernatural power which used to bring down the missiles coming from the enemies side. The enemies are saying that Iranian commandoes were fighting in Parachinar and they also say that Karzai has supported the Shia's. Karzai is such a useless person that if he was eligible to do something then he would have secured his nation. That infidel who is surviving on the left overs of others how can he help Shiite? We expect that just like in some welfare house a camp is put up and people are asked to queue to get rations; the Supreme Leader should also send his representative with sacks of food who will setup a camp and ask the people of Parachinar to stand in queue to get some rations. This is not the way support is provided. In Dera Ismail Khan four hundred persons are arrested by the government, why? Was it because Nawaz Sharif has done a long march or due to some activities of Pakistani Maulana? This was because when President Zardari visited Iran he was not just offered some Kebab rice instead he was informed and these issues were brought to his attention. Thus there is a way to support. If you join the links and chains, you can yourself think what is happening?

Iran the fortress of Shiite

Whether you accept it or not Iran is the fortress and centre for Shiite. Many attempts have been made to make Syria as the centre, the Islamic Seminary should shift to Syria, Kuwait or some other place and should not remain in Qom, but still the centre is Iran.

I don't say that all the authorities and office bearers in the seminary are perfect. They are committing many mistakes and biggest of them being the fact that right under their nose doubts are created in the minds of students against leadership and revolution but they are negligently sleeping.

The global growth of Shiite

With all praise to God, the Shia's are growing and moving forward globally. Today the best hope is the growth of Shias in Saudi Arabia. Today the Shia's in Saudi are looking inside the eyes of the progeny of Saud, they are staring inside the eyes of Salafis and all this is at whose mercy and who is behind this? From where are they getting this strength? Today the accursed Shah of Bahrain who has trapped all the Shias of Bahrain in tortures is persuaded to apologize to Shia's and declares the rights for Shias. But what is happening to us? We see daily America is demanding that Iran should stop interfering in Iraq, what is this interference? Should Iranians stop visiting for pilgrimage? There is something and some interference there and this interference is not just political.

The obligation of Islamic government

It is the prime and foremost duty of an Islamic government to defend Shiite, to defend Islam, to defend oppressed, if there are oppressed in Palestine they should be defended, in Lebanon and wherever there are oppressed or Shias under oppression they should be defended. But support and defending has its own method and strategy. Support is not provided by distributing food and medicines only. The Caliph of Dera Ismail Khan Abdul Qayoom who is the leader of Sipah Sahaba gave a statement in Border Assembly that Shias will be assassinated in Dera Ismail Khan till the time oppression continues in Parachinar. You should pay attention here though his tone and accent is prejudicial and sectarian but still he has accepted that they are suffering in Parachinar despite of the fact that Shia's are besieged there . According to the people of Parachinar they are in full aggression, so where has this aggression come from? This is not due to the miracles reported by Hindus or the support from Karzai.

The bravery of Hizbullah and the treachery of Egypt

As we have referred to in another article related to Gaza in this issue whereby Egyptian government arrested a Lebanese and accused that he was sent by Hizbullah to create disturbance in Egypt. Sayed Nasrallah said openly that we accept that he is from Hizbullah but we have sent him since two years not to disturb the security of Egypt but to do underground transportation of weapons to Gaza so that the people of Gaza can fight this battle. The Sunni's became passionate on listening to this and they recite salutations on Sayed Nasrallah when they heard this bravery and courage. At this Egypt made noise that Hizbullah is a terrorist group and wants to eradicate the Arab and Sunni world. During the same time an interesting statement came from Simon Perez. It is the same statement as that of many ignorant Shia's.

A longing desire of Israeli President

He said that I hope very soon the Sunni world will stand against Shia minority. Whatever Egypt has started is the awakening for Sunni world so that the Sunni's can rise against Shia minority and with this the shadow of Shia's on the heads of Israel and Arabs will also fade off. But God willing he will take this desire in his grave.

Need for Shias of Indian subcontinent to harmonize with Global Shiite

I am telling you this with confidence that with all praises to Allah it not just that Shiite is rising across the world but also the Sunnis are getting harmonized with Shia's and getting attracted toward Shiite. But on the other hand it is grievous that Shias of Indian subcontinent are several steps behind Global Shiite. We need to match our steps with them, increase our speed, clear our minds so that it should not happen that Malik-e-Ashtar reaches Siffeen to help Ali whereas we are still standing amongst the companions of Jamal. It was the same propaganda done in Jamal, processions were taken out, gatherings were organized in Mecca, against whom was this protest and battle? why against Ali? This was because Ali has given protection to the assassinator of third Caliph. In Nahjul Balagha Ali (a.s) says that One person came to me and said that; do you think I am your supporter? I will support you? When you have given refuge to the assassinators of Caliph, not punishing them and against you are such big personalities so can I leave them to support you. The personalities opposing Ali in Jamal were not ordinary; they were wife of Prophet,. Talhatul Khair, Saifullah Zubair and other prominent ones. By looking at these personalities this person comes to Ali and says how can I leave them to support you. On this Ali (a.s) replied to him that you have deviated from the highway of goodness and path of righteousness and said that righteousness and truth is not determined through personalities instead if you recognize truth the personalities will get recognized on their own.

We are lagging behind and those who lag behind for them Ali (a.s) says: " Two categories of people will perish; one are those who go ahead of me and others are those who lag behind me."

We are behind and the signs of our backwardness is that the personality who is holding the standard of Ali we are not with him, we are not on the same path as he is. And if we are not walking with him then we will have to gather under some other flag and God forbid we might have to follow the Camel (as in Jamal). It is grievous and shameful that we are impacted by rumours, false propaganda are more effective on us, illogical things impress us, we cannot differentiate between the supporters and non supporters. Who is the sympathizer? and who is the evil wisher? Thus we need to analyze such things and just by listening to the few words we should be able to smell why this person is speaking like this?

Following Leader in all circumstances

Ameerul Momineen chopped off the hands of a person as an obligatory punishment for the crime he has done. He was a follower of Ameerul Momineen (a.s). He was carrying his chopped off hand and an hypocrite met him on the way and said Is this your Ali? The same Ali whom you praise? He has chopped off your hands with his own sword? This victim did not agree to him saying that I regret to be a follower of Ali because what he has done to me. Today if we (theological students in Qom) are not provided facilities, or even two dollars from our stipend (Sharia) is shortened, if we are not getting Resident permit or visa we tend to become the front line anti revolutionary and start to say what is this government? What kind of system is this? What kind of Islam is this? Look at this person, his hand is chopped off that too by Ali and a hypocrite is questioning him. See what he replies?

The method of answering the enemies of Leader

He gave such a staunch reply to this hypocrite that the hypocrite could not stand there and ran away from there. He said; do you know who has cut my hand? It has been cut by the leader of pious, the leader of righteous has cut my hand and he started to narrate all the virtues of Ali (a.s) and expressed that my hand has been cut by that personality who possesses all these virtues.

The propagation of hypocritical thoughts

An incorrect and distorted thinking in Pakistan is that its relation with Iran should break and this is the plan of enemies. Just before Mohurrum 2009 there was a news in Kayhan newspaper that there was an assembly of hypocrites of Gulf nations in Qatar in which big name sake Shia Ulama and Shia personalities also participated. They were gathered and told that you should try to separate the Shia's of Gulf states from the Shia's in Iran. This is happening now in Gulf states and few years back there was a committee formed by the name of Ummah convention which I have mentioned before as well several times where well known Shia personalities and scholars were gathered and explicitly told to remove Khomeinism from Shiite. So what do you think there is no such committee formed in our sub continent? Have they not formed a committee for Pakistan to separate the Pakistani Shia's from Iran? They want to separate us from our centre? This is a formal plan to disconnect the Shias from the centre and the day we are disconnected from the centre that day is our death. All these propaganda's are spread after lot of planning and thinking so that the Shiite can be disconnected from the centre.

The secrets behind the survival of communities

I am ending this discussion with the words of Allama Iqbal. Allama Iqbal has informed us about the things on which the survival of community depends. The survival of communities is not dependent on Stipends, Khums, pragmatism, money; it depends on its connection with centre. The separation of communities from centre is death. No community should be separated from centre. You should not look at these office bearers and paid employees; they are paid to do such things so let them make their salaries legitimate. Do not make these things as the criteria for your association with the centre. If some authority supports revolution so you also become revolutionary and if someone does not then you become anti revolutionary? Ameerul Momineen (a.s) says in Nahjul Balagha" O Allah! do no make me like those who are busy day and night in praising those who gives them something and accusing those who do not give them anything.

Kaumo ke liye Maut hai Markaz se Judai

Ho Sahibe Markaz to Khudi kya hai Khudai

Separation from centre is death for communities

If connected with centre, then your identity is lordship

If connected with the centre, then the identify and personality of a community gives them independence, authority and command. This is the secret behind the dominance of Shiite today.

Wilayat-e-Faqeeh - Spring of greatness for Shia's

The leader of Hizbullah explicitly and openly said that our relation with Iran is prestige for us. He has declared the secret behind his success as following of Wilayat-e-Faqeeh and this is the secret which will give salvation to Shia's of Pakistan, India , Bangladesh and other nations. This is the reason Imam Khomeini (r.a) has said that you should back and support Wilayat-e-Faqeeh so that no dirt and filth comes over the system.

Supplication

At the end we pray to Allah (s) that " O Lord! Give salvation to Muslims across the world from this tyranny and oppression, specifically the oppressed people of Gaza and Palestine, keep the followers of Ameerul Momineen under your shadow of protection wherever they are in the world specifically the oppressed Shias of Pakistan who are living under extreme oppression. O Allah! protect them and grant them perseverance and ability to resist. Grant them the opportunity to be followers of Wilayat-e-Faqeeh. Keep this Islamic system secure till the return of Imam Mehdi (a.t.f.s). O Allah! eradicate the oppressors along with their oppression.

O Allah! eradicate America and Israel and give success to Hizbullah, develop unity amongst the Muslim Ummah, give protection to Sayed Nasrallah, extend the shadow of our leader for long on us, give refuge to the Islamic revolution from the mischief of enemies.
