Menurut Kantor Berita ABNA, pengendara sepeda motor dengan bersenjata api menembakkan peluru tajam yang diarahkan kepada keramaian warga Syiah yang sedang melakukan aktivitasnya di sekitaran pasar kota Queeta Pakistan. Serangan tersebut menewaskan enam orang seketika dan dua orang lainnya terluka dan segera dilarikan ke rumah sakit untum mendapatkan pertolongan medis.
Serangan yang terjadi senin (9/4) sekitar pukul 20.00 waktu setempat tersebut merenggut nyawa Qurban Ali, Muhammad Husain, Muhammad Dhiya, Nadir Ali, Sa'id Ahmad dan Syubair, sementara Yunus Ausad Ali dan Lulu Musa yang terluka dalam peristiwa tersebut masih sementara mendapatkan perawatan. Menurut laporan dari wartawan ABNA di Pakistan, sesaat setelah kejadian tersebut pihak kepolisian segara mengamankan lokasi kejadian, dan sampai saat ini belum ada pihak yang mengaku bertanggungjawab atas penyerangan tersebut. Namun warga yang menjadi saksi atas kejadian tersebut berkeyakinan kelompok teroris Sepah Sahabeh berada di balik penyerangan tersebut dengan melihat modus operandi yang mereka biasa lakukan. Warga Queeta memenuhi areal Rumah Sakit dan menuntut kepolisian segera menyelidiki kasus tersebut dan menangkap pelakunya. Wartawan ABNA juga melaporkan pernyataan saksi mata yang menyebutkan pelaku penembakan sempat meneriakkan, "Syiah Kafir" sebelum menembaki warga yang sedang berkumpul dengan senjata api. Allamah Naqawi: Pakistan Berubah Menjadi Negara Pembunuh Sayyid Fadhl Abbas Naqawi dalam pernyataannya menyebutkan diamnya pihak kepolisian dan pemerintah Pakistan dalam menyikapi aksi teror yang selama ini terjadi di Pakistan, justru menjadi pemicu semakin merebaknya aksi-aksi teror terhadap warga Syiah. Beliau menuntut pihak kepolisian agar menjalankan tugasnya menjamin keselamatan dan keamanan warganya. "Kami (Syiah) tidak bermasalah dengan saudara-saudara kami Ahlus Sunnah, kami di Pakistan hidup berdampingan secara damai, namun pihak ketiga berusaha memperkeruh suasana dan menciptakan konflik dengan melakukan aksi-aksi teror yang telah menelan banyak korban jiwa." Ujarnya.
 Menurut Kantor Berita ABNA, dengan semakin bertambahnya jumlah korban jiwa akibat serangan kelompok bersenjata yang melakukan teror terhadap warga Syiah Pakistan di beberapa kawasan yang berbeda dan tidak pedulinya pemerintah Pakistan akan peristiwa naas tersebut, membuat warga Syiah seluruh Pakistan turun ke jalan melakukan aksi unjuk rasa mengecam segala bentuk kekerasan yang dipicu oleh perbedaan mazhab dan menuntut pihak bertanggungjawab Pakistan untuk serius menangani masalah tersebut. Aksi warga Syiah di Karachi dipicu oleh terbunuhnya dua pemuda Syiah sehari sebelumnya. Aksi tersebut kemudian merembes ke daerah lain yang turut melakukan aksi unjuk rasa serupa secara serentak. Para pengunjuk rasa melakukan aksinya dengan penuh kemarahan. Mereka membakar ban-ban bekas dan menutup jalan-jalan utama sehingga menyebabkan lalu lintas di beberapa kota lumpuh total. Meskipun pihak keamanan telah berupaya menghentikan aksi dengan melemparkan gas air mata dan berupaya membubarkan massa pengunjuk rasa secara kasar, namun aksi unjuk rasa tersebut tidak juga terhenti. Menyikapi aksi kemarahan warga Syiah atas sikap acuhnya pemerintah Pakistan atas keamanan dan keselamatan jiwa warga Syiah, pimpinan Majelis persatuan Umat Islam Pakistan turut menyuarakan desakan ke pemerintah agar mengambil sikap tegas terhadap para pelaku teror yang selama ini berlangsung di pemukiman pendukuk warga Syiah di Karachi, Queeta dan Ghulghat. Hujjatul Islam Rajeh Nasir Abbas Ja'fari mewakili Majelis Persatuan Umat Islam Pakistan menyatakan, "Aksi warga ini akan semakin meluas dan kobaran api fitnah akan semakin membesar jika pemerintah dan pihak keamanan Pakistan tidak juga menemukan solusi untuk mencegah dan menghentikan aksi-aksi kekerasan dan pembunuhan yang dialami warga Syiah." Disebutkan, Rabu (4/4) sehari sebelum meletusnya aksi besar-besaran warga Syiah tersebut, sebuah angkutan umum yang memuat waga Syiah Pakistan di kawasan Ghulghat diserang kelompok teroris yang menyebabkan sedikitnya 16 warga Syiah tewas seketika dan beberapa orang lainnya luka-luka.

Pakistan:
Teror Makin Merajalela, Warga Syiah Pakistan Protes
|
Menurut Kantor Berita ABNA, menyikapi pembunuhan beruntun terhadap warga Syiah oleh kelompok teroris "Sepah Sahabeh" (Laskar Sahabat), warga Syiah Pakistan melakukan unjuk rasa menuntut pihak yang berwajib Pakistan agar melakukan upaya keras dan serius untuk menghentikan aksi-aksi teror yang menimpa warga Syiah tersebut. Aksi tersebut dihadiri ribuan orang dan berpusat di dua kota besar pemukiman warga Syiah Pakistan, di Karachi dan Queeta. Namun bukannya mendapat perhatian dan simpatik dari pihak kepolisian Pakistan, demonstrasi di Queeta berujung ricuh karena pihak kepolisian berupaya menghentikan jalannya aksi dengan menembakkan senjata api ke arah kerumunan massa.
Akibat dari serangan tersebut, dua diantara pengunjuk rasa meninggal dunia. Media setempat menyampaikan kedua korban bernama Mubarak Syah (10) dan Nazir Husain (14), keduanya adalah warga Syiah kota Quueta. Tercatat pula enam orang diantaranya mengalami luka-luka dan masih mendapat perawatan medis di rumah sakit. Berita perkembangan terakhir menyebutkan, empat orang dari mereka telah dinyatakan sembuh dan telah kembali ke rumah masing-masing.
Menurut informasi yang didapatkan wartawan ABNA di Pakistan, aksi kepolisian untuk menghentikan aksi unjuk rasa warga Queeta bukan hanya menembakkan senjata api ke arah kerumunan massa namun juga sampai menangkap 35 orang demonstran dan menjebloskannya ke penjara.
Diberitakan aksi unjuk rasa tersebut dipicu oleh terjadinya peledakan bom oleh kelompok teroris anti Syiah di Pakistan, yang menyebabkan 6 warga syiah tewas seketika dan satu diantaranya adalah perempuan. Sayang sekali, pihak kepolisian Pakistan sangat lambat dalam merespon setiap laporan dari warga Syiah yang telah berkali-kali mendapatkan teror berdarah. Bahkan, warga Syiah di Pakistan bukan hanya menjadi korban kebiadaban kelompok teroris, tangan pihak kepolisianpun bergelimangan darah warga Syiah Pakistan.
Ayatullah Nuri Hamadani:
Wahabi Berbahaya bagi Seluruh Umat Islam
|
Menurut Kantor Berita ABNA, Ayatullah Al Uzhma Husain Nuri Hamadani Senin (9/4) dalam ceramah yang disampaikan di Masjid A'dzam Qom Iran menyatakan keprihatinannya atas tragedi demi tragedi yang menimpa umat Islam belakangan ini dan menyebut Wahabi sebagai dalang dari semua konflik tersebut. Beliau berkata, "Wahabi sebuah firkah yang bermula dan tumbuh di Arab Saudi dengan kekuatan uang, pengaruh, kekuatan militer dan dukungan kerajaan Saudi telah mendirikan kampus-kampus, pusat-pusat penelitian, penerbitan kitab-kitab dan sebagainya untuk membendung dan menutupi penyebaran Islam yang hakiki, Islam yang sesuai dengan manhaj Ahlul Bait Nabi."Ulama besar Hauzah Ilmiyah Qom tersebut lebih lanjut mempertegas bukti keseriusan kerajaan Saudi untuk memberangus pengaruh Syiah di dunia Islam. Beliau berkata, "Kita bisa lihat bagaimana ketertindasan yang dialami komunitas Syiah Bahrain yang dengan bantuan militer kerajaan Saudi berusaha menghalangi-halangi terwujudnya tuntutan mereka."
Ulama marja taklid tersebut kemudian menyinggung Wahabi dengan menyebutnya sebagai firkah yang menyimpang dari Islam dan sangat berbahaya, sebab keyakinan mereka, Syiah bukan umat Islam dan halal darah buat ditumpahkan dan hartanya buat direbut.
Beliau menambahkan, "Arab Saudi bukan hanya mengirim militernya ke Bahrain namun juga ke Yaman, dan membantu secara finansial dan persenjataan kelompok-kelompok teroris di Pakistan untuk menghabisi warga Syiah. Sampai saat inipun pembunuhan warga Syiah masih terus belanjut."
"Wahabi berbahaya bukan hanya bagi Syiah, namun juga bagi seluruh umat Islam, karena mereka tidak menerima keberadaan kelompok lain selain mereka. Kebiadaban yang mereka lakukan telah mempermalukan Islam, dan mencoreng wajah umat islam di hadapan dunia internasional." Tegas ulama Syiah tersebut.
"Tidak ada hal lain yang bisa dilakukan selain berupaya keras membongkar kedok busuk mereka, dan muslihat mereka yang mengatasnamakan kaum Salaf dan Islam. Umat Islam harus bangkit menghadapi konspirasi jahat mereka." Lanjut beliau lagi.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Shia Islam in Pakistan)

The total number of Shias in Pakistan is approximately 17 million[2] to as high as 30 million according to Vali Nasr.[7] Globally, Shia Islam is represented by 10-20%[2][3][6][8] of the totalMuslim population, while as much as 90% or nine-tenths is composed of Sunni Islam.[9]

[edit]History
 | This article needs attention from an expert on the subject. Please add a reason or a talkparameter to this template to explain the issue with the article. Consider associating this request with aWikiProject. (June 2011) |
It is unknown when the Shia community first established itself in what is now thestate of Pakistan or the Indian subcontinent. The region that is now Pakistan has been conquered and ruled mostly by Sunni empires, such as the Ghaznavids,Ghurids, Timurid, Mughals, Durrani, and others.
With Husain ibn Ali becoming the revered personality in Indian subcontinent orSouth Asia not only for the Shias and Sunnis but also from non Muslim communities especially the Hindus of North India, that's apparent from members of Hindu community's participation in commemoration ceremonies of martyrdom of Husain ibn Ali every year on the day of Ashura. It has been believed that prior to his martyrdom Husain ibn Ali the grandson of Prophet Muhammed expressed his desire to go towards Al Hind (the region of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India).
In their account many historians write that Husain ibn Ali and the commander of the enemy forces, Umar ibn Saad met before the Battle of Karbala at night and talked together for a long time. After that meeting Umar ibn Saad sent a letter to the Governor of Kufa, Ubayd-Allah ibn Ziyad in which he wrote that Husain ibn Ali has suggested that he go to ‘one of the border outposts’ of the rapidly expanding Muslim empire as a way of resolving conflict. Other traditions named Border Outpost as Al Hind or present day India and Pakistan. Even though Husain ibn Ali himself was not able to go to Indian subcontinent, some of the Shia did emigrate there for various reasons, including those who came as refugees whom Umayyads and Abbasidspersecution. These refugees brought with them rituals which kept alive the remembrance of Karbala and their Shia Identity.[10]
While Shi'a Muslims have found a refuge in the Indian subcontinent, tensions between them and Sunnis has resulted in the creation in recent years of Shi'a-specific organizations. Shias in Pakistan and India also faced persecution by some Mughal Emperors which resulted in martyrdom of great Shia Scholar Qazi Nurullah Shustari also known as Shaheed-e-Thaalis that means the third Martyr. Many Nawabs and Tipu Sultan of Mysore, were among the famous Shias who were rulers in Indian subcontinent present day Pakistan and India.[11]
It has been believed that in seventh century few ladies from the household of Prophet Mohammad after Battle of Karbala came in Punjab province which is now a part of Pakistan. One of the prominent of them was Ruqayyah bint Ali, the daughter of Ali bin Abi Talib through his wife Ummul Banin, Ruqayyah bint Ali was the sister of Abbas ibn Ali and wife of Muslim ibn Aqeel. Still her shrine in Lahore, Punjab of Pakistan, is visited by people all around and she is referred as Bibi Pak Daman.
[edit]Political Influence
Pakistan is the only Sunni majority country where Shias have been elected to top offices and played an important part in the country's Independence, history and nation building. The founder of Pakistan Muhammed Ali Jinnah, Fatima Jinnah[12],Muhammad Ali Bogra, Khawaja Nazimuddin and their families were Shia Muslims, and so are the Bhuttos, Asif Ali Zardari,Haidar Abbas Rizvi, Syeda Abida Hussain, Syed Fakhar Imam, Faisal Saleh Hayat, Fahmida Mirza, Zulfiqar Mirza and several other top ranking Pakistani Politicians and Generals such as Mushaf Ali Mir, Yahya Khan, Muhammad Musa and Iskander Mirza.
While in past few decades, to address the legal needs and political support of the Shi'a population in Pakistan organization like Tehrik-e-Jafaria Pakistan & ISO were formed, while Sipah-e-Muhammad Pakistan a Shia militant group was formed to deter the militancy against Shias by Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan a Sunni Deobandi militant group. Although the Sunni and ShiaMuslims usually coexist peacefully, sectarian violence occurs sporadically by radical groups.
When General Zia ul-Haq, the former military ruler of Pakistan, introduced new laws to make Zakat deductions mandatory for every Muslim during the 1980s, Tehrik-e-Jafaria held a large public demonstration in Islamabad to compel the government to exempt the Shia Muslim community from this law. This protest resulted in the ‘Islamabad Agreement’ in which the government agreed to introduce a separate syllabus for Shia students in public schools, as well as exempt the Shia community from the Zakat law, since Shia consider Zakat as a personal tax (to be paid to the needy) not collectable by the state. According to one senior Pakistani journalist who witnessed these events, Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini played an important role in this agreement being reached, and he sought assurances from General Zia al-Haq that Shia demands would be met. A message from Ayatollah Khomeini was also read out to the Shia protesters in Islamabad in which he called for them to keep up their spirits.[13][14]
[edit]Pakistan Shia communities
Pakistani Shia community is spread across the country, mainly in Punjab, Sindh,Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the capital Islamabad. Pakistan hosts a number of distinct Shia communities, including the Turis and Bangash Pashtun tribes, Qizilbash,Hazaras, Baltis, Shias of Padhrar, Khojas, Bohris and others.
While the majority of Shia community comprises local ethnic groups like thePunjabis, Sindhis, Muhajirs, Kashmiris and few Pashtuns and Balochis. There are also many Shias of Persian-Arab descent. Pakistani Shia community also has a large Sayyid population.
[edit]Divisions within the Shia sect
Although the overwhelming majority of Pakistani Shia Muslims belong to Ithna 'ashariyah school, there are significant minorities of Nizari Ismailis (Agha Khanis) and the smaller Mustaali Dawoodi Bohra and Sulaimani Bohra branches.
The Shia Ithna 'ashariyah school has its own Masjids and Hussainias. Mustaali Dawoodi Bohra and Sulaimani Bohra also have their own Masjids. While the Nizari Ismailis pray in Jama'at Khanas.
