Wahabis Desecrated another tomb this time not for a saint, but a sahaba!!!

On May 2, 2013 Gloroius Companion of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), Hujir Bin Addi (RA ) has been desecrated once again by armed Wahabia militia. The wahabia militia of Al-Nusra Front demolished the building at the tomb side and dug the grave exhuming the blessed sahaba. The tomb of Hujir Bin Addi (RA) was destroyed, the grave was dug-in and remains were stolen by Al-Nusra Front. Even though 14 centuries have passed, since the sahaba was buried,his body was still intact. The fate of the holy body is not known. Hujir Bin Addi , his son and other companions were executed in 51 AH, (660 CE) during the conflict between Sayyidina Ali(RA) and Muawiya(RA)and they were buried in Mirj-e- Adra, an area in the suburbs of Damascus city. Al-Nusra Front is a Wahabi-Salafi group fighting against the Syrian Government. Its ranks consist of Al-Qaida, Syrian and Saudi Wahabis, Salafis from North Africa and Deobandis from Pakistan. Al-Nusra Front is financially supported by Saudi Arabia regime which is the chief source of finance to any armed wahabia militia and Qatar. Earlier this year, another wahabia militia has carried out tomb raiding of graves of saints in Libya and Mali. Two decades ago grave of the mother of the Prophet(SAW), Sayyida Amina (RA) was leveled off by the wahabis regime ruling Saudi Arabia and on its place a hotel was built. On May 4, 2013, tomb of Jaafar ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) is burned down in Jordan. Hazrat Jaafar (RA) was a first cousin of the prophet(SAW) and a loyal companion who during the early days of Islam had led first Hijra (migration) to Ethiopia. Destruction of the tombs in Mali and attacks on the tombs of Daata Ganj Baksh (Lahore, Pakistan) were other tomb raiding activities of Wahabis. The mischief Wahabism is spreading on Earth surface does not even spare pious people that lived long before the wahabis, it does not spare us of their time either. Their tomb raiding handed over to them by Muhammad Abdulwahhab does not spare tombs of Awliya neither sahaba.

Dear Brothers,

I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church.

After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry.

I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering.

However, in today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me.

For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.

Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects.

And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff.

With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.

End of letter.
What has the pontiff sees?
Why is he coming closer to Islam each day?
How we wish he may tell us these one day, and how we wish his words will please God Almighty.
Until this manifest, we keep on praying for the resigned pontiff's well being and progress.
I will keep you informed on any latest on that regard.
