Baba Abdul Ali Mazari – A Shia Hazara but a Global Father – by S.Batool
Related post: Remembering Baba Abdul Ali Mazari – by Abdul Nishapuri
A never tiring majestic personality, audacious explorer, a brave warrior, a revolutionist and consistent Leader, a baronial individual, a spiritual Jihadist, a ray of hope for the innocents and oppressed and the one who held the Islamic flag of revolutionary period in Afghanistan; Hujjut-ul-Islam Shaheed Abdul Ali Mazari (ra) – My words fall short of introducing the most loved and remembered Leader in the history of Afghanistan who spent his life in constant struggling for the rights of oppressed people. He is accepted as the father of Hazara nation;Hazaras love this personality deep down to the extent that he is famous by the name ‘Baba Mazari (ra).’
Baba Mazari is the proud son of Haji Khudadad and was born in the suburbs of ‘Nanwai’ area,a village called ‘Chahar Kant’, where there exists a place called ‘Balkh’ near ‘Esta’ province of Afghanistan ,in 1946.
Baba received his early education from a Madrassa at Chahar Kant where he initiated with mastering in Persian and Arabic Literature. The thirst for his religious curiosity developed at this very preceding age of gaining religious education at Chahar Kant madrassa.
Slowly, the love for religious knowing rooted firmer and its attachment started flowing into his blood.
As time passed by, Baba Mazari was then fully engrossed in learning and exploring the vast and soothing knowledge. During this journey he confronted with different learned religious personalities out of whom the most influencing personality was Ismail Balkhi who was a spiritual and religious, revolutionary, pious and a man of breeding and refinement.
Baba Mazari entered into political field through the advisory counseling of Ismail Balkhi.
Baba quotes his most memorable meeting with this man of valor as:
“It was Ismail Balkhi who captivated my insight towards learning and in absorbing my attention towards Army training activities. He advised me that if you want to become a religious scholar then be a Mujtahid and if you want to become a Political leader then be a President. “
Ismail Balkhi said so and Baba Mazari acted upon, proved that He really was a not-under-command personality.
He served Army from 1968 to 1970 and then after 1971 restarted the journey towards religious education. He received his high professional religious education by Ayatullah Ali Mishkini and other scholars from Hawzia Ilmia Qum. Ayatullah Abul Qasim Khiz Ali, Shaheed Mutahhiri and Ayatullah Jawadi helped Baba Mazari in quenching his thirst of Shiasm.
This clearly shows Baba Mazari's great Love for Imam Khomeini and Shiasm.
Baba Mazari showed sustained enthusiastic action with unflagging vitality by travelling through Afghanistan and Iran continiously so that a united, strong and one Islamic organization may take shape.
In 1990, consequently his efforts bore fruit and all Shia Hazaras were gathered under one banner named as ‘Hizb-e-Wahdat Islami.’
Consistency flowed in his veins, Baba Mazari, then gathered all Hazaras of the World at Bamyan and was elected as Leader of Hizb-e-Wahdat Islami in 1993. This organization then shifted to the East of Afghanistan wich enjoyed a central position for the Shias of Afghanistan.
Baba Mazari fought Rabbani and Masood’s ruthless ferocity against Shias and Hazaras and got victory by following the footsteps of Imam Hussain (as) as no Hussaini bows his head down before any tyrant nor do they prefer to live in humiliation. Baba Mazari was a true follower of Imam Hussain (as).
Baba Mazari belonged to Hazara tribe but his thoughts; mission (saving humanity) makes him a Global Leader. He moved to rise for humanity which does not restrict him to a particular tribe or people; He is the Father of the oppressed globally.
In 1995, Taliban (who are known for their sheepish, vicious and as conspirators) invited Baba Mazari along his seven faithful friends for fraudulent meeting to solve the current situation then, and thus, succeeding in their hypocritical and fallacious plots, Baba Mazari got martyred.
It was 13 March, 1995 when the candles were blown off, lights dimmed, darkness prevailed in Afghanistan, the dark void gnawed inside his beloveds, Shias and Hazaras war hero collapsed leaving his loved one’s sobbing.
Baba Mazari is no more! NO! He is alive, alive in the hearts of his sincere followers. He is present within every Hazara, Shia and in the hearts of all those who are sincere to humanity in the World. His thoughts roam around the minds of the devotees.
All the Shias and Hazaras reflect his light in the midst of darkness; only if we avoid becoming the victims of the plots of the hypocrites:
Only, if we decide to be a sincere devotee to our religion and ethnicity so that we may take up his mission in its true sense.
Only, if we oust out the breakers from among us.
And only if we understand that Hazaragi is our identity and Shiagi is our religion; the two shall be bonded and separating any of the two from each other will result in collapsing the untiring efforts of Baba Mazari.
Baba Mazari , being a Shia, took Hazargi and Shiagi alongside and touched the pinnacle of success. Baba Mazari applied Islamic (Shia Islam) teachings at his home. He made sure Islamic way of Life to be practiced at his Home, and it is the reason, his only daughter Zainab Mazari in addressing public by her appearance showed and conveyed the message of proper Hijab to be exercised by all sisters and daughters.
Zainab Mazari following the footsteps of her Father giving a message to all the sisters World Wide by her appearance.
Let us today vow that we will never let Baba Mazari’s efforts go in vain and we will save our nation from the conspirators; the only way to which is by holding tight the religion and Hazaragi side by side.
Thank you, Ms Batool, for writing a befitting tribute to Baba Mazari, a champion of Sunni-Shia unity.
Much obliged Abdul Nishapuri.
The article about Baba Mazari is marvellous ..
it would be more effective if your could defined the shahadat of baba Mazari in detailed way, that how the hypocrite taliban killed him ….
In short a brief description about Baba Mazari ..
Abdul Ali Mazari was sold to Taliban by so-called nationalist Hazaras themselves on the instructions of ISI. These thugs in HDP are the same people who sold Mazari. They were part of the ISI-Taliban plan to get rid of Mazari.
It was once again an internal job.
Salam to Shaheed Baba Mazari, Ayatullah Musa as Sadr was martyred the same way by Qaddafi of Libya. Shias should learn from martyrs and stay away from meeting nasibis.
all of U seem to part of a well organized conspiracy against the radicalization of Hazara community , but U r unaware of the ground realities Mr. Nishapuri , wait a minute how can u let an impartial piece about Baba mazari reign ur site hmmmm when U indulge in rows with guys like Saleem Javed and then exploiting it to the fullest of ur capabilities via ur website !!!
Rajabo: Lalai e article ago part e conspiracy bilkul am malum namusha, ma ki togh kadum khu bisyar khub pehloo e Baba Mazari ra paish awordan, awal she ma aij khabar nabudum ki Agha az Qum khandan r zair sarparasti azi Ayatullah deen khur paish burda. None of the nationalists pf Hazara community never brought forward this aspect of Baba Mazari and it was a hidden truth which our sister have penned down. Please relax and do not preconceive anything. If anything in this article is based on false research , u may bring up your research.
dear friends @ the writer has not represented the true picture of Baba Mazari. Again we Baba and Hazaras are shown here a Pro-Irani, it seems that LUBP are now using our own people to mis-represent us. LUBP is totllly involved in a conspiracy against the Hazara nation. They can’t get our support by these false representation of our Leaders and our nation. We better know t he facts and figures about our nation, and specially about our Great leader Baba Mazari…
Zahra @ dear i tell you to read its article daily about The hazara people then u will come know about all thes …

baba mazhari never took hazaragi away from shiaism and islam….surely he is a global leader in the islamic world. he believed in allah that’s why he was so successful….!
خود بابه مزاری توسط ایران به شهادت رسید . از خاطریکه بابه مزاری خبر بود که ایران 8 حزب ره ده بین مردم ما جور کده که باعث تفرقه و جنگ در بین خود ما موشه . بابه مزاری نمی خواست که مردم ما بازهم پارچه پارپه شونه از او خاطر ده مقابل ایران ایستاده گی موکد و پلان شوم ایران ره فامیده بود

بابه مزاری موگه که دشمن هیچگاه رو به رو موره شکست داده نمیتنه ، مو همیشه از درون شکست خوردیم . عبدالرحمن 7 سال با مردم هزاره جنگ کرد ولی شکست داده نتوانیست تا که چند دانه خایین تربیه کدن مردم ره ده گروه گروه و قبیله قبیله جور کد یعنی تفرقه انداخت او وخت بود که مو شکست خوردیم .
plz just see this video baba mazari

Ali Haider HDP: Birar, I have written what truth is, you can’t deny Baba Mazari’s attachment with his religion i.e., Shiasm; all the proves given about his religious journey.
Iam a Hazara myself and can depict in a better way how my people present Baba Mazari in accordance to their interest. Baba Mazari’s religious journey was never written, Y? Why do we have such tauts among our people who only knows to use people? You can’t deny this fact sheet my brother.
Bakhshi: You wasted your time. I have not stated anywhere that Baba Mazari loved Iran but Imam Khomeini (ra). Unfortunately our history has been written by unreliable sources who have used Baba Mazari for their self-interest.
Fact is fact, let the obscured Baba Mazari come forward.
S.batool:

Hazaras are shia everyone know and no one can reject this. why you people persist to give link our people and Baba mazari to Iran and Khomaini like “This clearly shows Baba Mazari’s great Love for Imam Khomeini and Shiasm.” ???
that is not the face of baba mazari that u write about and his aim. baba mazari is also not against of shaikh and sayeed he is against of like u people that spying and working for strange like iran ……….
down with you and iran
fattah: See Baba Mazari didn’t use Shias on the whole , he could never do that infact as he is a Shia himself. He is only complaining about some clerics , and figures alike are found in every era, in every war, it is not a new thing.
Did Baba Mazari take Imam Khomeini’s name anywhere that you are stating like that? Imam Khomeini was a Islamic revolutionary leader and he respected him. Don’t create issues that doesn’t exist.
zahra:
that is true i accept about khomani now it depend on the people that how they are thinking they accept him as islam leader or not if as islam leader what he did for islam???? that is not important!!
i am saying why the writer in place of saying the truth and what baba mazari did for humanity and his religion and his nation and for his country writer uploaded a picture that he go to i dont know where is and write under the picture he love with khomani and iran he means that when baba mazari love with khomani and iran hazara nation that baba mazari is the leader also love the iran in fact it is not like that.
Fattah: You are going out of the track here. Baba Mazari did have respect and attachment to Imam khomini , how can you prove that Baba hated Khomini? she already stated that she didn’t use the word Iran but Imam Khomini , you can not diverse one’s reality towards some other thing which is not the fact. Khomini revived Islam oe else Shah had already destroyed Islam.
this is totally totally totally wrong to give baba mazari’s fight a religious look y r we people so in complex about iran???? baba mazari was shia no doubt but he never fought for shias he fought for HAZARAS only y are u people molding his life and personality according to ur own desire??? he was a Nationalist he gave his life for HAZARAGI and now we are starting all this new dispute that baba mazari gathered shia hazaras????? till yesterday baba was Baba of HAZARAS and today according to our desires and requirements he is Baba of all Shias???? why dont u people let him be what he is dont mold his personality his work his sacrifice for ur own benefits….baba mazari was shia but his fight was for HAZARAS!!!!!!!!!!!! what is wrong with uuuuuuuu???????
Dont restrict Baba Mazari to Hazaras only, He is a Global Father and as he was a Shia so all Shias love him too, If you want yourselves to be isolated then nothing more drastic than this. Baba’s movement was for his people but under Hizb Wahdat Islami , he never restricted himself to Hazaras only but wanted peace in the region.
Rakhshanda : We have already discussed all the facts , do we need to repeat it all here again?
And please nothing stated in this article is molded. Obscured facts brought forward.
i dont care if we have discussed it or not it is still wrong to give his fight a religious look dnt try to change history …..he is a global father no doubt, he was shia no doubt, but his jihad was for hazaras only!!!
To author:Don’t care about these hypocrites. They despite knowing the truths have taken themselves blind. How cheap of these fools. May Hazaras get free from these hypocrites soon.
Rakhshanda : Oh really? So allow me to copy paste our dicussion here.
The same old tactics.. Represent Baba Mazari and hazaras as Pro-Mullah-Iran nation. Incomplete facts are always more dangerous than a LIE.
Yes True Baba Mazari received his religious education from QOM. But when he returned to Afghanistan and witnessed the ground realities of Afghanistand and his Hazara Nation, he raised the historic Slogan “Hazara Budan Jurm Neest” (Being a Hazara is not crime). I want to ask a question why Hazara? why not Shia? Because my uninformed friends he saw the involvement of Dirty Foreign Policy of Iran in Afghanistan and decided to work for the betterment of his people (let it be Hazara or other Shias of Afghanistan) and not blind follow the dirty politics of iranian Mullah regime.
OK what happens next? He unites and combines all 8 major Hizbs (created and funded by Iran) of Hazaras and other Shias in Afghanistan. BUT a major Shia Hizb didn’t agree. They didn’t join Hizb-e-Wahdat under the leadership of Baba Mazari. The group was Sheikh Asef Mohsini and Syyed Anwari’s harkat e Islami.. These two TOP SHIA clerics (Non Hazara) of Afghanistan fought against Baba throughout their lives. They even joined Ahmad Shah Masood’s forces against Baba and Hazaras.
Another fact. these Sayyeds (pro Iran) once again back stabbed Baba Mazari in Afshar (kabul). Their leaders sold out the defense lines of Hizb-e-Wahdat in western kabul to Abdul Sayyafs and Ahmad Shah Masoud’s viscous forces which lead to the fall of Afshar and massacre of 1000s of innocent Hazara civilians and in total destruction of Afshar District.
Baba Mazari united all Hazaras under the HIZB regardless of sect (Sunni, Shia, Ismaili). Yes He fought for the rights of His Hazara People and other Shias as well. but he never allowed Iranian Thugs to disunite Hazaras through their dirty politics.
Baba Mazari was Great and He will be always remembered as Father of Hazara Nation. Kindly stop misrepresenting Baba Mazari.

S.Batool what u want to prove. have you ever listen speeches of baba Mazari which he gave after Afshar accident. U want to restrict Baba Mazari leadership to only shia Hazara . here in Afghanistan Hazara are Suni ,Ismaili and Shia.please read about History of Afghanistan specially late bet 1985-95 when civil war going when Baba Mazari stud against ongoing discrimination towards Hazara.we can not reject that we are not shia Hazara but when we put glance on history it is mixture of both in we suffered a lot.
So please do not force your ideas on us by simply posting picture of Baba Mazari and elaborate the picture
in Afghanistan the slogans are Religious but Acts are Ethnic.
Shaheeed Abdul Ali Mazari.
the man who united all Hazaras belonging to any religion.
may his soul rest in peace.
the man who lived like Ali(A.S) and died as Hussain(A.S).
not like Khomaini who last his life in his bed.
Long life Hazara
