JNN 15 Dec 2010 : During the ongoing Ashura mourning gathering at Baqiyyatullah Husainiyyah on Sunday, the Leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky explained further the various events, after the demise of the Prophet, which led to Ashura tragedy.
He explained that the Ummayads who imposed themselves on the Ummah, propagated the hate of Imam Ali and Ahlul bayt(AS) in every corner. Their aim which they want to achieve through the campaign of calumny and hatred, championed by Ma’awiyyah, against Imam Ali and the members of Ahlul bayt was to attain to Leadership position. Thus, he did all he could to obliterate the name of Ahlul Bayt(AS) from the minds of Muslims. In fact, invoking curse on Imam Ali became a norm, and this continued for many years, even after the death of Mu’awiyyah (L.A).
Sheikh Zakzaky pointed that it reached the extent that Imam Ali, who killed 70 kuffars in battle of badr, was not even known as Muslim. People didn’t even know that he was among those who attended badr, in fact he is the king of Badr. Muslims had respect for ahlul badr ( those companions who attended battle of badr), but unfortunately, they didn’t know that Ali was the among them. Worse than that was the invocation of curse on Imam Ali and Ahlul bayt(AS), which continued for many years, even in Friday sermons- the legacy of Mu’awiyyah (L.A).
The Sheikh further narrated that earlier on, Mu’awiyah (L.A) made the Leadership to be seen as tribal affairs-an issue between Quraishi tribes only excluding any non-Arabs(mawaliy). so, by this, he made sure all Quraishi tribes gathered against Banu Hashim, and with this, he revived the Jahiliyyah enmity. He tribalised religion for the interest of Ummayads which was attaining to the position of Leadership.
Before the coming of Islam internal wars amongst Quraishi tribes was common, mostly due to competitions of superiority amongst clans and also enmity, thus they formed ties among clans against others.
Sheikh Zakzaky further expressed that reviving this enmity was what Mu’awiiayh (L.A) did in which he instigated all Quraysh tribes against Banu Hashim. He even denied mawali (non-quraysh), any ranks or position for he knew that they will support Banu Hasim.
Mu’awiyyah’s hatrage of Imam was too obvious as when performing prayers, he didn’t use to start with Basmala because Imam Ali always recited Basmala openly during prayers; not only that, Muáwiyah (L.A) made many fabrications and innovations.
The Leader further stressed that Banu Umayyads tribalised religion and made all effort to extinguish Islam altogether. They were after leadership ever since from the beginning. They even said that Islam was established with blood of their forefathers and they must, therefore, take vengeance.
Mourning was performed after the sunset prayers led by Sheikh Zakzaky. later the leader closed the Sunday programme with a dua.

Shahadat of Momineen & Terrorism against Shiite Muslims continues in Muharram even after all the security Measures & assurances by Govt
JNN 10 Dec 2010 Hangu : A powerful car bomb explosion at the gate of the Shiite Run Hospital has killed at least 18 people and wounded several others in Pakistan’s troubled Pass Kalay area in Hangu which is located in the northwestern tribal belt.
A suicide bomber blew up a trailer packed with explosives at a northwest Pakistan hospital Friday, killing 11 people and apparently targeting Shiite Muslims in the third bombing & terrorism this week.
The suicide bomber detonated at the gate of a Shiite-run hospital on the outskirts of the northwestern town of Hangu, a flashpoint for sectarian violence that traditionally flares during the current holy month of Muharram.
“Eleven people were killed and 17 injured,” Hangu police spokesman Fazal Naeem told AFP.
“It was a tractor with a trailer a carrying 250 kilograms of explosives hidden underneath materials for construction work at the hospital,” he said.
The hospital is run by a private Shiite Muslim trust, which also operates a nearby Shiite mosque and seminary, local officials said.
The blast partially damaged the mosque, vehicles and houses, and gouged a large crater out of the ground, police said.
Two days ago a teenage suicide bomber killed 17 people at a busy market in the garrison town of Kohat, which neighbours Hangu and which has been another flash point for attacks on Pakistan’s minority Shiite community.
Pakistan has stepped up security for Muharram, which began this week and sees tensions rise due to these bombing and terrorist activities of Banned and Proclaimed Wahabi Terrorist Organisations , which try to paint their terrorist activities as of sectarian rift , but actually they are just One sided terrorist activities against the Shiite Population of Pakistan , as there have been no revenge or offensive activities by the Shiite community , who are living in peace and Harmony with there Sunni Muslim Brethren since the creation of Pakistan , But these Wahabi Saudi funded Organisation , paint there terrorist activities as of sectarian between Pakistan’s majority Sunni Muslim and minority Shiite Muslim communities to create chaos and anarchy in the country by engaging the Sunni Population in their terror plots , which even the Sunni Population have become aware of their nefarious design and also condemns there killing of Shiite Muslims , along with attacks on Shiite religious parades.
Around 4,000 people have died in suicide and bomb attacks across Pakistan since government forces raided an extremist mosque in Islamabad in 2007. The attacks have been blamed on networks linked to the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
On Monday, a pair of suicide bombers killed 43 people, attacking anti-Taliban militiamen and pro-government elders in Mohmand, part of the tribal belt that Washington considers the global hub of Al-Qaeda.
The Pakistani Taliban purportedly claimed responsibility for that attack, threatening death to anyone who forms militias against the Islamists.
On Tuesday, a suicide bomber tried to assassinate the chief minister of Pakistan’s southwestern province of Baluchistan, damaging his motorcade and wounding nine people but leaving the minister unhurt.
A purported spokesman for the banned extremist group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi claimed responsibility, saying the official had been targeted for efforts to provide security to Shiite Muslims, who are frequently attacked in Baluchistan.
A Novel aspect to commemorate Muharram ‘40 Islamic Centres in 40 Days’
JNN 09 Dec 2010 : “Only those shall maintain Allah’s mosques, who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and establish prayer and give zakat, and fear no one except Allah. They, hopefully, will be among the guided.” (Holy Qur’an, 9:18)
The months of Muharram and Safar offer the annual opportunity to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Husayn ibn `Ali (AS). In the spirit, of keeping the message of Imam Husayn (AS) alive, The World Federation of KSIMC in Partnership with The Africa Federation, The Council of European Jamaats and NASIMCO are launching the MUHARRAM 1432 APPEAL: 40 ISLAMIC CENTRES IN 40 DAYS.
THE STATE OF RELIGIOUS CENTRES IN PAKISTAN
Over 40 Shia religious centres including Mosques, Imambarghas and Madrasahs were ruined in the 2010 floods that devastated Pakistan. These institutions were once the nucleus of our communities and were instrumental in meeting the religious, spiritual and educational needs of so many men, women and children. Today, these very centres are either submerged in water or crumbled to the ground; those that are still partially standing are unsafe and deserted.
ABOUT THE APPEAL
The 40 ISLAMIC CENTRES IN 40 DAYS APPEAL is a 40-day campaign led by the Islamic Education team of The World Federation of KSIMC to raise funds to rebuild the damaged Islamic Centres in Pakistan. By re-establishing these institutions, it is our goal to keep the message of the Ahlul Bayt (as) alive.
