The complete text of the message is given below: “Muharramul Haram; one of the most sacred months of the Islamic Calendar bears special significance in Islamic history for the faithful. The 10th of Muharramul Haram reminds the Muslims; the historic tragedy wherein Hazrat Imam Hussain (R.A) and his companions embraced martyrdom at Karbala. It signifies that great sacrifice offered by the 72 martyrs who chose the path of truth and righteousness to fight against the forces of evils and tyranny with un-shakable spirit of commitment and steadfastness.

In the Tragedy of Karbala, there is a comprehensive message for us with far reaching effects. It teaches us the lessons of faith, steadfastness, perseverance and above all patience at a time when faced with heavy odds and powerful adversaries. On the occasion of 10th of Aushura e Muharram, being observed today, I take the opportunity to stress upon the countrymen in general and the people of the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in particular to maintain complete unity, cohesion and harmony in their ranks; demonstrate the highest level of fraternity and commitment for ensuring better future for the coming generations”.
