Muharram 1426 Season


We Shall Never Forget You O Hussain

We send our condolences to Imam Muhammed Al-Mahdi (AS), our great Ulama and the
whole world on the Martyrdom Anniversary of the Master Of Martyrs, Imam Hussain
(AS) who was martyred with his family members and his companions in Karbala to
save the message of Islam until this day and to promote humanity and deny
injustice. Not only that, even the remainder of the family members of Imam
Hussain were taken as captives but all this pain and suffering was for a reason,
the most important reason which is saving the true message of Islam, the message
of truth, humanity, and justice.

Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens had said the following about Imam Hussain (AS):

"If Hussain fought to quench his worldly desires, then I do not understand why
his sisters, wives and children accompanied him. It stands to reason therefore
that he sacrificed purely for Islam."

Thomas Carlyle
Thomas Carlyle has relayed this about the Tragedy of Karbala:

"The best lesson which we get from the tragedy of Karbala is that Hussain and
his companions were the rigid believers of God. They illustrated that numerical
superiority does not count when it comes to truth and falsehood.The victory of
Hussain despite his minority marvels me!"

Dr. K. Sheldrake
The famous, Dr. K. Sheldrake on Imam Hussain (AS) said this:

"Hussain marched with his little company not to glory, not to power or wealth,
but to a supreme sacrifice and every member of that gallant band, male and
female, knew that the foes were implacable, were not only ready
to fight but to kill. Denied even water for the children, they remained parched
under a burning sun, amid scorching sands yet no one faltered for a moment and
bravely faced the greatest odds without flinching."

Brown
Brown in his `A Literary History of Persia' writes:

As a reminder, the blood-stained field of Karbala' where the grandson of the
Apostle of God fell at length, tortured by thirst and surrounded by the bodies
of his murdered kinsmen, has been at any time since then sufficient to evoke,
even in the most lukewarm and heedless, the deepest emotion, the most frantic
grief and the exaltation of spirit before which pain, danger, and death shrink
to unconsidered trifles. Yearly, on the tenth day of Muharram, the tragedy is
rehearsed in Persia, in India, in Turkey, in Egypt, wherever a Shiite community
or colony exists; ... As I write it all comes back; the wailing chant, the
sobbing multitudes, the white raiment red with blood from self-inflicted wounds,
the intoxication of grief and sympathy.

al-Fakhri
World famous Arab historian al-Fakhri has said this about Imam Hussain's
sacrifice:

"This is a catastrophe whereof I care not to speak at length, deeming it alike
too grievous and too horrible. For verily, it was a catastrophe than that which
naught more shameful has happened in Islam...There happened therein such a foul
slaughter as to cause man's flesh to creep with horror. And again I have
dispersed with my long description because of
it's notoriety, for it is the most lamented of catastrophes."

Some famous sayings about Imam Hussain (AS)

Sir Muhammad Iqbal says:
Imam Husayn uprooted despotism forever till the Day of Resurrection. He watered
the dry garden of freedom with the surging wave of his blood, and indeed he
awakened the sleeping Muslim nation. If Imam Husayn had aimed at acquiring a
worldly empire, he would not have traveled the way he did (from Medina to
Karbala). Husayn weltered in blood and dust for the sake of truth. Verily he,
therefore, became the bed-rock (foundation) of the Muslim creed; la ilaha illa
Allah (There is no god but Allah).

Ronay wala hoon Shaheed-e-Kerbala key gham men main,
Kya durey maqsad na dengey Saqiye Kausar mujhey

I am one who weeps at the plight of the Martyr of Kerbala
Won't the reward be given to me by the Keeper of Kauser Allama Iqbal in his
Baqiyat (in Urdu)

KHWAJA MOINUDDIN CHISTI (RA) says:

He gave his head, but did not put his hand into the hands of Yazid. Verily,
Husayn is the foundation of la ilaha illa Allah. Husayn is lord and the lord of
lords. Husayn himself is Islam and the shield of Islam. Though he gave his head
(for Islam) but never pledged Yazid. Truly Husayn is the founder of "There is no
Deity except Allah."

Shah ast Hussain, Badshah ast Hussain,
Deen ast Hussain, Deen e Panah ast Hussain,
Sar dad, na dad dast, dar dast-e-yazeed,
Haqaa key binaey La ila ast Hussain

It's Hussain the Prince, it's Hussain the king,
He is Faith, and Faith's Defender most daring,
He preferred death to Yazid's allegiance,
With his blood, Islam has verily been living.

Mahatma Gandhi, statement published in 'Young India,'1924.

I wanted to know the best of the life of one who holds today an undisputed sway
over the hearts of millions of mankind.... I became more than ever convinced
that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme
of life.

It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of Husain the scrupulous
regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his
intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission
to save the Islam.

These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every
obstacle.


Muharram has came to us again to remind us of the Greatest Martyr Of Mankind and
what he sacrificed himself for.AlMujtaba.Com have prepared a huge page for The
Holy Month Of Muharram.

salam allaikum....
The Iddah period (40 days) is only to be observed by a woman who's husband has died. Anyone else is allowed to "mourn" for 3 days. The Iddah period is not just a time for the wife to mourn, but she is not allowed to wear perfume, use henna, jewelery, or apply kohl (and other forms of beautification) or leave her home (only in the case of necessity) during these 40 days. Wa Allahu A3lam.

In Islamic tradition, those are called bida3. You should only pray to God. Even visiting the Prophet's tomb will not make you any closer to God. But Hussein is only cried upon by the Shi3a. So are you a Muslim from Shiite denomination?
