Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said that in the wake of ongoing conflict between the right and falsehood, "we need to seek inspiration and guidance from the uprightness of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) to frustrate the evil designs of those damaging the true spirit of Islam."
In his message on the Day of Ashura, commemorating the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) - the grandson of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) - the PM said the heart wrenching incident of Karbala had no parallel in the history of mankind. He said by sacrificing his life along with his family, Imam Hussain proved that for a true Muslim, nothing was more important than the honour and dignity of Islam.
He said the historic encounter between the forces of truth and falsehood made Islam an everlasting religion. "Though the Day of Ashura recounts a story of grief and anguish, it actually portrays the triumph of virtue over the vice," the PM commented. He said the steadfastness demonstrated by Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) in the face of cruelty and tyranny proved that uprightness always prevailed and that any enemy could be defeated with the determination and absolute faith in God.
He said the devious terrorists, who were subjecting innocent citizens to extremely brutality and defaming Islam, probably did not know that a nation with staunch followers of Hazrat Imam Hussain amongst its ranks could never be dispirited by them. He hoped that the nation with unwavering faith in Almighty Allah and strong willpower would defeat the enemies of Islam. "Let us pledge today that we utilise all our energies to preserve the honour and dignity of Islam, serve the nation and rid the country of all evils to develop it as a true Islamic welfare state," the PM remarked.
