Malik Muhammad Aslam Awan
Islam is a religion of peace for the whole humanity. God Almighty had ordained that the last Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) is a blessing for the whole mankind in this and the world hereafter. The ever effulgent teachings of the Prophet of Islam encompass the lives not only of Muslims but also the whole humanity to make their lives enlightened, peaceful as well as fruitful in the life to come as one who succeeds in this world would be rewarded in the life hereafter, which would have no end. Pakistan had come into existence with the Divine Will and it is the first country on the map of the world which had ideological basis on the oneness of Allah Almighty Combined with the unwavering belief on the last Prophet Muhammad (SAWW). Until and unless one has not firm belief on the last prophethood the entity of a true Muslim is not cognizable. Being a true Muslim one will have to manifest overtly that Muhammad ( SAWW) is the last Prophet of God Almighty and after the advent of the last prophet the Prophethood is discontinued forever by all means and connotations of Prophethood. When we recite the first “Kalima” we acknowledge professedly that Allah is one and Muhammad (SAWW) is His last Prophet and we will owe unflinching allegiance to God Almighty and His last Prophet. Under this righteous belief Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, launched an unflinching and unwavering movement and after innumerable sacrifices the Muslims of India had won an independent homeland. The Pakistan movement does not end here rather regained momentum when ZafarUllah Khan the first foreign Minister of Pakistan refused to attend the funeral of the Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and on a query uttered bluntly; A Muslim had not participated the funeral of an atheist or say an atheist had not offered funeral of a Muslim. He bluntly professed that his explicit narrative endeavored to sprout “Qadianism” and recruited Qadianis in the embassies and left no stone unturned to facilitate Qadiani belief in every nook and corner of the country-which had ideological basis of Islam. ZafarUllah Khan always remained busy to cause havoc to the very foundations of Islam. KhawajaNazim-ud-Din appointed a committee to determine the religion of the Chief Executive of the state. The committee determined that the head of Muslim State must be a Muslim but the Committee could not define the parameters to ascertain who is true Muslim in spirit of the Holly Quran and Sunnah. The movement of last Prophethood had been launched to define the status of a Muslim. ZafarUllah Khan remained hectic to act against Pakistan as well as Islam. The movement of the Last ProphethoodMajlis-e-Tahaffuz-e-Khattam-e-Nubatwat was founded by Muhammad Abdul GhafforHazarvi in 1950 with Zafar Ali Khan, Abdul Hamid QadriBadeyani, KhawajaQamar-ud-Din Sialvi, SayyedFaiz-ul-Hassan Shah, Ahmad SaeedKazmi, Abdul Sattar Khan Niazi, Pir of MankiShareef, Amin-ul-Hasnat, Muhammad Karam Shah Al-Azhri, Sardar Ahmad Qadri and Muhammad HussainNaeemi. Later on the prominent Brelvi leaders Shah Ahmad Noorani and Syed Atta Ullah Shah Bukhari, Shaikh-ul-Quran AllamaMuhamamdGhulam Ali Okarvi, Pir Muhammad Abdullah Siddique, Muhammad ShafiOkarvi, SayyedShujjat AliQadri, Iftikhar-ul-Hassan Shah, also, became the central leaders of the movement to oppose the Ahmadiyya movement. Legendary rhetoric Sayyed Atta Ullah Shah Bukhari and Moulana Shah Muhammad Noorani disseminated sermons to counter the attacks of Qadianisim on Islam. In 1953 the movement Majilis-e-Tahaffuz-e-Khattam-e-Nubatwat opposed vehemently the “Fitna” of Qadianisim which speared into the hearts of Qadianis who were at the key posts in Pakistan. Allama Shah Ahmad Noorni made Masjid Wazir Khan the centre of the movement. Armed Forces and Police besieged the Masjid Wazir Khan and opened fire on the armless Muslims resulting in massacre of the Muslims which ignited the flames of anger and restlessness amongst the Muslims and the leaders of the movement. Moulana Abdul SattarKhan Niazialongwith other prominent leaders of the movement-Majilis-e-Tahaffuz-e-Khattam-e-Nubatwat-was arrested in March 1953 and on 7th May 1953 Moulana Abdul SattarNaizialongwith other leaders were awarded the death punishment by a military court. On 29th April 1955 MoulanaNiazi was released on bail and became the renowned soldier of the vanguard of Tehrak-e-Khattam-e-Nubatwat. The movement did not stop till the inclusion of a clause in the constitution of 1973, declaring, the Qadianis as Non-Muslims. Qadianis had been prohibited by the constitution of 1973 to profess them as Muslims. Every true Muslim had firm belief that Quran Majeed, which had been revealed upon Muhammad (SAWW) through the pious angel Gabraeelby God Almighty, is the last book to be recited and acted upon by Muslims till the last day of the world. Quran and Sunnah are two main sources of guidance for the Muslims, even a single dot cannot be added in these two main codes of life. To love with Muhammad (SAWW) more than one,s own souls, parents, relatives even all human beings is the most formidable part of our belief and without this one cannot succeed in mundane as well as the life hereafter. Muslims of the world are ever ready to sacrifice their lives for sake of dignity and honour of Muhammad (SAWW).
