LAHORE:
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (Nawaz) chief Nawaz Sharif has said the 10th of Muharram reminds one of the great sacrifice of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) who stood up for the cause of truth and righteousness.
In his message issued on Saturday, the party chief said that Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA), members of his family and his faithful companions fought against impiety and rendered the supreme sacrifice by embracing martyrdom.
Nawaz said the spirit of his martyrdom is linked with the strong faith, truth, and efforts at establishing a system based on justice for the welfare and well-being of the humanity and upholding of Islamic values.
“We should not forget that our religion teaches us kindness and affection towards others and brotherhood,” Nawaz added
Meanwhile, PML-Quaid President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Deputy Prime Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Ellahi have said that whenever there is a conflict between right and wrong, the ‘spirit of Hussainiat’ remains the beacon of light for followers of truth.
In a joint message issued on the eve of Ahsura, they said the tragedy of Karbala reminds Muslims that any sacrifice, even that of life rendered for the promotion and revival of the high values of Islam, is the primary duty of true followers.
“Every year, Muharram brings in all Muslims the message of adherence to truth, staunch belief and steadfastness against injustice,” they said.
They added Hazrat Imam Hussain’s (RA) and his companions’ sacrifice would continue to give strength and inspiration to those struggling against injustice and repression. “The oppression of martyrs of Karbala turned into such an ever-lasting force that keeps every tyrant terrified.”
