Srinagar: Calling upon the daughters of the faith to follow the life of Hazrat Fatima (RA), Hurriyat Conference (M) Chairman and Ameer of Mutehda Majlis-e-Ulema, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has paid glowing tributes to the daughter of Prophet Mohammad (SAW) (PBUH) for her services and sacrifices for the religion of Islam.
In connection with the death anniversary of Hazrat Fatima (RA), Mirwaiz addressed a large gathering at the shrine of Hazrat Khwaja Naqashbandh following the Zuhar prayers during which he stated that the role of Fatima (RA) as a daughter, mother and as a wife should be emulated by our daughters to live honorable life. He said our daughters, mothers and sisters should follow the path of Fatima (RA) to bring reforms in the society in the light of Islam.
Mirwaiz stated that the main issues faced by our society were related to the tearing apart of the family fabric and a rat race for materialistic pursuits. He stated that blindly following the European culture has strayed us away from our social, cultural and religious values.
APHC Chairman stated that until, our families don’t become an example of Islamic culture and tradition; the ongoing social reforms movement is not going to bear fruit.
Detailing out the benefits of holy month of Ramadan, Mirwaiz stated that the basic aim of this month is to spiritually introspect at individual and collective level to create a society based on religious principles.
As Kashmir is a Muslim majority state, Mirwaiz stated that it was the duty of people to protect the Islamic character, culture and identity of this place. He stated that every individual in the society has to play a role to bring social reform in the society. He said that youth being educated have to shoulder major responsibility of rooting out social evils from the society. Mirwaiz also stressed upon the women to play their role in reforming the society. He said that women have frontline responsibility to inculcate values in their families to build a health society.
