Salafi Mufti says bayat of Yazeed was islamic!!!
In this video, you will see that Salafi Mufti said that Yazeed was caliph on truth and Imam Hussain(AS) naudobillah erred by coming up against him.
Modarrsi replies to him
video is having english subtitles
This is a speech being delivered by Ayatollah Modarresi at the shrine of
Imam Hussein in response to the slanderous comment made by the top
Wahhabi cleric in Saudi Arabia.. Keep watching to see the fury of the
audience..
One would think that after almost 14 centuries, the mission of Imam Hussein and the pristine nature of his message is transparently clear. On the same token, one would also think that the demonic nature of Yazeed and his cohorts is also as abundantly obvious.
For how could anyone exploit people's ignorance of the hard historical facts and justify the barbaric murder of Imam Hussein? How can anyone conceivably explain the vicious slaughtering of the 6 month old infant and the starving of women and children to death? And after all the atrocities committed by Yazeed's army, how can anyone brand his authority as "legitimate" or even go as far as to have the audacity to blame Imam Hussein for the crimes committed on Ashura 61 A.H.?!
And if an ignorant individual were to be found who is blind to the manifest truth, they might be dismissed as illiterate or simply insane, but when a the top ranking, government appointed cleric makes those outrageous assertions, it reveals deeply rooted malice and venomous scorn towards every divine ideal and every ethical standard. It speaks of far ranging moral dilemmas and a seriously flawed and perverted sense of judgment.
The attached video shows one such individual. He is Abdul Aziz Aal Al Sheikh, the grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, and the direct grandson of Bin Abdul Wahhab, the founder of the Wahhabi religion which is responsible for every atrocity, and every act of terror around the world. The video also includes footage from people's reaction to the comments and the utter outrage at the shrine of Imam Hussein in the holy city of Karbala and the historic speech by one of Iraq's leading Shia scholars, Ayatollah Sayed Hadi Al Modarresi, in which he emphatically denounced the comments by the Wahhabi cleric and challenged him to reveal his true intentions during the Arba'een processions.

Is Crying for Dead causes Punishment to the Dead ??
We would have heard this 100′s of times and people are fed up with this idea that Holy prophet asws had said this : "Crying for Dead causes Punishment to the Dead"
And so if someone cries for dead, the dead is punished;and this propaganda increases in moharram
so let us see what ayesha had to offer in this regard
we find in Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal :
Abu bakar says that when rafi’I bin khadeej died, we heard ibn umar that dead is punished when his neighbors cry for him. I came to umra and told him so he replied that Ayesha said that holy prophet asws said this about a jew lady that these people are crying and she is being punished; then Ayesha recited the verse that none will bear the weight of others
[Musnad ahmad, urdu, vol 11, page 31, narration 24616]
Sheikh hamza says isnaad is sahih
[Musnad ahmad, takhreej of ahmad shakir and hamza ahmad, vol 17, page -234]
[Musnad ahmad, takhreej of ahmad shakir and hamza ahmad, vol 17, page -234]
We further find
Ibn umar said that Holy Prophet asws said that dead is
punished when his family cries for him; when someone asked this from
Ayesha, she said that he has hallucinated, holy prophet asws said that
people are crying where as he is being punished for his sins
[Musnad ahmad, urdu, vol 11, page 84]
Sheikh hamza says isnaad is sahih
[Musnad ahmad, takhreej of ahmad shakir and hamza ahmad, vol 17, page 287]
Sheikh shoaib says isnaad is sahih on condition of sheikhain [musnad ahmad, vol 40, page 347-348, narration 24302 ]
Yet again, we find
Urwa said that once Ayesha told him that o nephew! Ibn umar erred in listening, actually holy prophet asws passed by a grave and he said that he is being punished due to his deeds and his family is crying for him; otherwise by god! None will bear the weight of others
[Musnad ahmad, urdu, vol 11, page 178-179, narration 25144]
Sheikh hamza says isnaad sahih
[Musnad ahmad, takhreej of ahmad shakir and hamza ahmad, vol 17, page 390]
Sheikh shoaib says isnaad are sahih, narrators are all thiqa and narrators of sheikhain
[musnad ahmad, takhreej of sheikh shoaib; vol 41, page 181-182 narration 24637]
[musnad ahmad, takhreej of sheikh shoaib; vol 41, page 181-182 narration 24637]
Again we find
Abu bakar said that when rafi’I bin khadeej died, I heard Abdullah bin umar that dead is punished due to weeping of his neighbors. I came to umra and told him about this; he said that Ayesha said that may allah forgive abu abdurrehman, he is not lying but he has forgotten; holy prophet asws passed by grave of a jew lady on which people were crying, so he said that people are crying where as she is being punished
{molvi zafar iqbal says that narration is sahih as per bukhari, muslim and ibn haban}
[musnad ahmad, urdu, vol 11, page 210]
Yazeed: a killer of sahaba and a thief:- Ahmad bin Hanbal (sahih sanad)
We find in al-sunnah by al khalal that he mentioned with a sahih chain from Ahmad bin Hanbal who said
أخبرني محمد بن علي قال ثنا مهنى قال سألت أحمد عن يزيد بن معاوية بن أبي سفيان قال هو فعل بالمدينة ما فعل قلت وما فعل قال قتل بالمدينة من أصحاب النبي وفعل قلت وما فعل قال نهبها
قلت فيذكر عنه الحديث قال لا يذكر عنه الحديث ولا ينبغي لأحد أن يكتب عنه
حديثا قلت لأحمد ومن كان معه بالمدينة حين فعل ما فعل قال أهل الشام قلت له
وأهل مصر قال لا إنما كان أهل مصر معهم في أمر عثمان رحمه الله
narrator asked ahmed bin hanbal about yazeed ibn mawia and he replied : he did to madina what he did , so i asked : and what did he do ? he said : he killed in madina from companions of rasool Allah and did other things ,so i asked him : what did he do ; so he said : robbed it , so i said : can hadith be narrated from him so he answered : hadith must not be narrated from him and nobody should write his hadith . so i asked ahmed : and who was with him when he did in madina what he did ? he said : people of syria so i said : what about people of egypt? he said :people of Egypt were with them in matter of uthman
narrator asked ahmed bin hanbal about yazeed ibn mawia and he replied : he did to madina what he did , so i asked : and what did he do ? he said : he killed in madina from companions of rasool Allah and did other things ,so i asked him : what did he do ; so he said : robbed it , so i said : can hadith be narrated from him so he answered : hadith must not be narrated from him and nobody should write his hadith . so i asked ahmed : and who was with him when he did in madina what he did ? he said : people of syria so i said : what about people of egypt? he said :people of Egypt were with them in matter of uthman

Yazid Vs Zakir Naik [Lies of First Navel War/Caesar's City]
 | |||
| Zakir Naik ( A well wisher of Yazeed (la)) |
Do you remember Zakir Naik & his claiming “Radhi Allaho Anho” for Yazid?
Do you know the Only Argument of Zakir Naik that he used to justify it?
The Only Argument of Zakir Naik & All other Nasibies is only & only one Tradition of Bukhari.
Let us begin with Allah's name & let
us expose the Lies of Nasibies regarding this tradition and after that
no one would dare to say “Radhi Allho Anho” to Yazid. Insha-Allah.
The Fabricated Tradition by Nasibies of Syria
Nasibies of Syria were followers of Bani
Umiyyah. Thus they fabricated a tradition through which they made first 2
Caliphs of Bani Umiyyah free of all there so many crimes against Islam
& Ahlebait (as), and provided them with salvation to Jannah.
Here is the tradition.
حَدَّثَنِي
إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ
قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ أَنَّ
عُمَيْرَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ الْعَنْسِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ أَتَى عُبَادَةَ
بْنَ الصَّامِتِ وَهُوَ نَازِلٌ فِي سَاحَةِ حِمْصَ وَهُوَ فِي بِنَاءٍ
لَهُ وَمَعَهُ أُمُّ حَرَامٍ قَالَ عُمَيْرٌ فَحَدَّثَتْنَا أُمُّ حَرَامٍ
أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ
أَوَّلُ جَيْشٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَغْزُونَ الْبَحْرَ قَدْ أَوْجَبُوا قَالَتْ
أُمُّ حَرَامٍ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَا فِيهِمْ قَالَ أَنْتِ
فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوَّلُ
جَيْشٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَغْزُونَ مَدِينَةَ قَيْصَرَ مَغْفُورٌ لَهُمْ
فَقُلْتُ أَنَا فِيهِمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَا
Sahih al Bukhari, Book of Jihad Volume 4, Book 52, and Number 175:
Narrated Khalid bin Madan:
That 'Umair bin
Al-Aswad Al-Anasi told him that he went to 'Ubada bin As-Samit while he
was staying in his house at the seashore of Hims with (his wife) Um
Haram. 'Umair said. Um Haram informed us that she heard the Prophet
saying, "Paradise is granted to the first batch of my followers who will undertake a naval expedition."
Um Haram added, I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Will I be amongst them?' He
replied, 'You are amongst them.' The Prophet then said, 'the first army amongst' my followers who will invade Caesar's City will be forgiven their sins.' I asked, 'Will I be one of them, O Allah's Apostle?' He replied in the negative."
We will prove that this narration is defective on the following 2 bases:
-
It has defects in Asnaad.
-
A comparison of this alone tradition to all other Traditions It is totally against ALL other Traditions about “First Naval War” & “caesar's City”. (This is the most important Part of our Discussion).
Defects in Asnaad of this tradition
Please note about this tradition that:
-
This Tradition is narrated by only & only one chain.
-
And all the narrators in this chain are Syrians (the headquarter of Muawiyyah and Bani Umiyyah). The people of Syria were famous for inventing narrations in support of Bani Umiyyah.
Ibn Hajar al-Asqallani (one of top most Alim who is even respected by Nasibies) writes under the commentary of this tradition:
قوله: (عن خالد بن معدان) بفتح الميم وسكون المهملة، والإسناد كله شاميون
i.e. all of it's narrators belong to Syria
Thawr bin Yazid [The Munafiq by Rasool's Standards]:
One of the Syrian Narrator is Thawr bin
Yazid. Although none of the Syrian Narrator of this tradition had any
love for Ahl al-Bayt, but this Thawr bin Yazid was the worst.
Ibn Saad (Sunni Scholar whose book is very important for Rajal Work) writes about him:
و كان جد ثور بن يزيد قد شهد صفين مع معاوية ، و قتل يومئذ ، و كان ثور إذا ذكر عليا قال : لا أحب رجلا قتل جدى
Translation:
The
(Syrian Ancestors) of Thawr bin Yazid were along with Muawiyyah at
battle of Saffin and they were killed in this war (by Army of Ali Ibn
Abi Talib). Whenever this
Thawr bin Yazeed used to hear the name of Ali (ibn Abi Talib), he used
to say:"I don't like to hear the name of that person who killed my
Ancestors.
And Yahya ibn Mueen, who is considered one of most authentic Authority in Rajal even by Nasibies, he writes:
"This Thawr bin Yazeed was included in that party which used to Curse Ali Ibne Abi Talib"..
And Imam Malik never used to narrate from this Thawr bin Yazeed.
Sheikh Ahmad Ali Suharanpuri is an Alim of Tableeghi Jama'at and he wrote a commentary of Bukhari. He writes (vol. 1, page 409):
"The tradition
of caesar's city has been narrated by Thawr bin Yazid and he was
(extreme) enemy of Ameer-ul-Momineen (Ali ibn Abi Talib).
And biggest of all, the grand Hadith Master Ibn Hajar Asqallani writes (Book: Tehdhib-ul-Tehdib, vol 2, page 33):
Thawr bin Yazeed bin Ziyad was a Qadarite قدرياً
(a misguided sect for Ahle-Sunnah), his grandfather sided with Mu'awiya
in Sifeen, and he was killed in this battle. When he referred to 'Ali,
he would say 'I do not deem a person that killed my grandfather to be my
friend'.
Rasool's (saw) testify those who hate Ali Ibn Abi Talib, they are Munafiqs
These people have no shame.
They are absolutely not ashamed to praise the Open Munafiqeen & declare them their Imams and Reliable Narrators of Hadith.
Shame on these people who all the time cry that Shias are Kafirs while they crticize Sahaba, but when any of their Nasibi Imam curse Imam Ali
and Ahl al-Bayt, then he becomes the praiseworthy Reliable Narrator of their Ahadith.
Here is the the true face of their Nasibi Imam & Praiseful Reliable Narrator:
They are absolutely not ashamed to praise the Open Munafiqeen & declare them their Imams and Reliable Narrators of Hadith.
Shame on these people who all the time cry that Shias are Kafirs while they crticize Sahaba, but when any of their Nasibi Imam curse Imam Ali
and Ahl al-Bayt, then he becomes the praiseworthy Reliable Narrator of their Ahadith.Here is the the true face of their Nasibi Imam & Praiseful Reliable Narrator:
Sahih Muslim,Book 001, Number 0141:
Zirr reported: 'Ali observed: By Him Who split up the seed and created something living, the Apostle (may peace and blessings be upon him) gave me a promise that no one but a believer would love me, and none but a hypocrite would nurse grudge against me
So, mystry remains there why are these People taking this open Nasibi
Manafiq (& Kafir according to their Standards while cursing Sahaba
is Kufr according to them) to be there praiseworthy Narrator of Hadith?
Don't they have any shame about this?
The Importance of First Naval War V Bait-e-Ridhwan
Dear Readers,
Please tell if this tradition is true
then doesn't it mean that importance of First Naval War and attacking
caesar's City was EQUAL to Bait-e-Ridhwan?
Surely you would answer in "Yes" while in all these cases there is prediction of "Allah being Radhi" or prediction of "Jannah".
Now look at the importance of
Bait-e-Ridhwan. Allah himself mentioning it in Quran. Then Rasool (saw)
took himself the Bait on his hand. Then this Bait-e-Ridhwan becomes
popular on tongues of each and every Muslim child. The companions who
participated in that War were respected and kept above those who didn't
participate.
Yazid (la) Cursed By Sunni/Salafi Scholars
Here The Idol Of Salafis Cursed By Many Salafi/Sunni Scholars:-
..
Shawkani Who Said in Nail Al-Awtar Volume 7 page 362:
لا ينبغي لمسلم أن يحط على من خرج من السلف الصالح من العترة وغيرهم على أئمة الجور، فإنهم فعلوا ذلك باجتهاد منهم، وهم أتقى لله وأطوع لسنة رسول الله من جماعة ممن جاء بعدهم من أهل العلم، ولقد أفرط بعض أهل العلم كالكرامية ومن وافقهم في الجمود على أحاديث الباب حتى حكموا بأن الحسين السبط رضي الله عنه وأرضاه باغ على الخمير السكير الهاتك لحرم الشريعة المطهرة يزيد بن معاوية لعنهم الله، فيالله العجب من مقالات تقشعر منها الجلود ويتصدع من سماعها كل جلمود
No muslim must blame whoever came out with the sword from salaf and itrah and others against the imams of oppression because they did this based on their ijtihad and they are more fearfull of allah and more obedient to sannah of rasool allah compared to people who came after them and many people of knowlegde have exaggerated like karamyyah and those agreeing with them in bigotry who judged that hussein the descendant of rasool allah radhiallah anh is wrongful against the drunkard.. Yazid ibn Muawya May Allah Curse Them .....

Salafis and Their Love for Yazid: Issues Arising
It is no news that Salafis love and revere Yazid ibn Mu'awiyah (la),
the murderer of the Prophet's (as) family. Although they normally deny
that they love him. But the fact that Dr. Zakir Naik, a world- famous
Salafi, send blessings upon Yazid (la)
speaks volumes. You cannot logically invoke Allah's blessings upon
someone you hate! In fact, Zakir and all other Salafis consider him a
Jannati, on account of a hadith fabricated by Imam al-Bukhari. We have
dealt with that hadith here.
In this article, we are only going to copy-paste some posts by some
good Sunnis about Yazid. Thank Allah, not every Sunni loves that
illegitimate child. After reading all the posts, we invite our
open-minded readers to balance Salafi attitude to Yazid against the
reality. Are they really supposed to send Allah's blessings upon him
(la)? Is he really a Jannati? The post is by a Sunni brother, and was
copied from here :
states in the famous book on Jirah wa Tadil by Imam Ibn Hajr al Asqalani (rah)

Yahya bin Abdul Mulk bin Abi Ghania "WHO WAS AMONGST THIQA NARRATORS" he heard from Nawfl bin Abi Aqrab "WHO IS THIQA" he narrates: Once in the gathering of Umar Bin Abdul Aziz [R.A] people talked about Yazid bin Muawiya, someone among the people mentioned Yazid with the title of Ameer ul Momineen, hearing this Hadrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz [ra] replied (in anger): You have called Yazeed Amir Ul Mominein?

Loving and glorifying him is not done except by a heretic who has void belief because he (Yazid) had such characteristics that his lover deserves to be faithless, because to love and hate just in the sake of God is the sign of faith.

The heinous crimes of Yazid
Ibn Kathir then says in his Tarikh under events of 63 AH
فقال ابن الزبير يا هؤلاء قتل أصحابكم فانا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
وقد أخطأ يزيد خطأ فاحشا فى قوله لمسلم بن عقبة أن يبيح المدينة ثلاثة أيام وهذا خطأ كبير فاحش مع ما انضم إلى ذلك من قتل خلق من الصحابة وأبنائهم وقد تقدم أنه قتل الحسين وأصحابه على يدى عبيد الله بن زياد وقد وقع فى هذه الثلاثة أيام من المفاسد العظيمة فى المدينة النبوية مالا يحد ولا يوصف مما لا يعلمه إلا الله عز وجل وقد أراد بارسال مسلم بن عقبة توطيد سلطانه وملكه ودوام أيامه من غير منازع فعاقبه الله بنقيض قصده وحال بينه وبين ما يشتهيه فقصمه الله قاصم الجبابرة وأخذه أخذ عزيز مقتدر وكذلك أخذ ربك إذا أخذ القرى وهى ظالمة إن أخذه أليم شديد
Translation: Hadrat Ibn Zubayr (Radhi Allaho Anho) said: O PEOPLE YOUR COMPANIONS HAVE BEEN KILLED – Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun
"Yazeed committed a mistake and that too a disgusting one by ordering Muslim bin Uqba to make Medina Mubah for three days. This was the biggest blunder. Many Sahaba and their children were slaughtered. As it has been mentioned before that Yazid made UbaydUllah Ibn Ziyad kill the grandson of Rasulullah (saw) Husayn and his companions, and in those three days huge heinous crimes happened in Madina about which nobody knows except Allah]. Yazeed wanted to secure his governance by sending Muslim bin Uqbah but Allah did against his wishes and punished him. Verily Allah killed him likewise Allah made grip over the oppressing towns, no doubt His grip is painful and strict
[Al Bidayah Wal Nihayah, Vol 8 Page 283]
Even Ibn Ziyad testified against Yazid
Yazid’s crimes were so heinous that even his loyal UbaidUllah Ibn Ziyad (whom he had sent to murder Muslim bin Aqeel and later Imam Hussain ra too) said:
كان يزيد كتب إلى عبد الله بن زياد أن يسير إلى الزبير فيحاصره بمكة فأبى عليه وقال والله لا أجمعهما للفاسق أبدا أقتل ابن بنت رسول الله ص وأغزو البيت الحرام وقد كانت أمه مرجانة قالت له حين قتل الحسين ويحك ماذا صنعت وماذا ركبت وعنفته تعنيفا شديدا قالوا وقد بلغ يزيد أن ابن الزبير يقول فى خطبته يزيد القرود شارب الخمور تارك الصلوات منعكف على القينات
Translation:When Yazid wrote to Abdullah Ibn Ziyad that he should go to Makkah and besiege Abdullah Ibn Zubayr (RA) he refused to do so and said: By Allah I will not combine two things for a Fasiq (i.e. Yazid). I have already killed the son of Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam)’s daughter (on his order) and now (he asks me to) wage war on Bayt ul Harram? However when he martyred Imam Hussain (RA) his mom Marjana said to him: May you die! what have you done and what crime have you committed, she also scolded him severely. Yazid was informed that Abdullah Ibn Zubayr (RA) used to say in his speeches that Yazid was a fraud, drunkard, one who abandons Salaat and one who stays with singing women.

May Allah also not grant Jaza and khayr to him(i.e. Yazid), he got many righteous killed and also looted the amwaal in Madina in great numbers, this has been multiply narrated that he created a lot of Shar and Fasad. It is mentioned that Hadrat Muafl bin Sanan (RA) was tied infront (of Ibn Uqba) and then martyred, you were his friend before but later you used strong words against Yazid due to which he became angry at you.

Translation:He (Yazid) was a disgusting Nasibi (i.e. those who hate Ahlul bayt). He drank and did evil. He started his kingdom with the killing of the Shahid al-Hussain (RA) and ended it with the incident of al-Harra (i.e. besiegement of Madina which also makes him directly liable for Lanah as sahih ahadith prove).

More from Imam Dhahabi
Imam Dhahabi Writes: Ziyad Haarthi narrated: 'Yazid gave me alcohol to drink, I had never drunk alcohol like that before and I enquired where he had obtained its ingredients from'. Yazid replied: 'it is made of sweet pomegranate, Isfahan's honey, Hawaz's sugar, Taif's grapes and Burdah's water'. Ahmed bin Masama' narrated: 'Once Yazid drank alcohol and started to dance, suddenly he fell down and his nostril began to bleed'.

God didn't bless his life and Abu Bilal Mirdas bin Adya al-Hanzali rose against him.'

Allama Alusi said:
And I say what is prevalent over my mind that (Yazid) Khabith did not testify to the messengership of the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). According to me it is correct to curse a person like Yazid, although one cannot imagine a Fasiq like him and apparently he never repented, the possibility of his repentance is weaker than the possibility of his faith (Iman). Along with Yazid, Ibn Ziyad, Ibn Sa'ad and his group shall also be included. Verily, may Allah's curse be upon all of them, their friends, their supporters, their group and upon everyone who inclines towards them until Qayamah and until an eye sheds a tear for Abu Abdullah Hussain (ra).
[Tafsir Ruh al-Ma'ani, Volume 26, Page No. 73]
Ala Hadrat Imam Ahmed Raza ( رحمة الله عليه ) called Yazid as Paleed!
Imam Ala Hadrat Ahmed Ridha Khan Fadhil Baraili (rah) said: Yazeed was Paleed (disgusting) was Qat’an and Yaqeenan (Absolutely and with conviction) Ba Ijmah (with consensus) of Ahlus Sunnah a “FASIQ O FAJIR (Sinner and Transgressor)” who committed “KABAIR (BIG) SINS” On this do the Ahlus Sunnah have agreement, however in his Takfir on Lanah there is dispute. “IMAM AHMED BIN HANBAL (RA) AND HIS COMPANIONS CALL HIM KAFIR AND THEY DO THAT BY CURSING HIM WITH NAME AND THEY DO ISTADLAL FROM THIS AYAH”Then, is it to be expected of you, if ye were put in authority, that ye will do mischief in the land, and break your ties of kith and kin? Such are the men whom Allah has cursed for He has made them deaf and blinded their sight. [Quran 47:22-23]
“THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT YAZID DID FASAD WHEN HE BECAME RULER” rather he utterly disrespected the Haramayn Tayibayn, the Ka’ba itself and the blessed shrine of Prophet (Peace be upon him). He tied horses in Masjid an Nabwi due to which the urine of them even spilled over the pulpit (Naudhobillah), for three days Adhaan and prayer was stopped in Masjid an Nabwi, he got thousands of innocent Sahaba martyred in Makkah, Madina and Hijaaz, got stones being thrown of Ka’ba, got the Ghulaaf torn and burnt, This “KHABEETH” made the pure and pious ladies of madina as Halal for his army (i.e. to do Zina .. AstaghfirUllah), he kept the loved one of Prophet as thirsty and hungry for 3 days and then got him slaughtered along with his companions. The ones who were brought up in the lap of Prophet, he made the horses trample their bodies (AstaghfirUllah)
The blessed face of Imam Hussain (ra) which was used to be kissed by Prophet, it was gotten cut and put on a spear and displayed it to public…
Imam Ahmed Raza (rah) after proving all this said (Please note the honesty of this Imam in Fiqh): Imam Ahmed and his Companions send Lanah on Yazid whereas our Imam Abu Hanifa (rah) has done “SUKOOT” over calling him Kafir or sending Lanah upon him, due to “CAUTION” but clarified that him being “FASIQ AND FAJIR” is prove from “TAWATUR” but Kufr is not Mutawatir, so whosoever does not (Consider him kafir) will not be held responsible but Whosoever rejects that he was Fasiq o Fajir and puts blame on the Malzoom Imam Hussain (ra) is “CLEARLY AGAINST THE FUNDAMENTALS OF AHLUS SUNNAH AND DOES ZALALAT AND IS FROM BAD MADHAB” rather this could never come from the heart of person who has the lamp of Prophet (Peace be upon him)’s love

Ala Hadrat Imam Ahmed Raza ( رحمة الله عليه ) called Yazid as Paleed!
Imam Ala Hadrat Ahmed Ridha Khan Fadhil Baraili (rah) said: Yazeed was Paleed (disgusting) was Qat’an and Yaqeenan (Absolutely and with conviction) Ba Ijmah (with consensus) of Ahlus Sunnah a “FASIQ O FAJIR (Sinner and Transgressor)” who committed “KABAIR (BIG) SINS” On this do the Ahlus Sunnah have agreement, however in his Takfir on Lanah there is dispute. “IMAM AHMED BIN HANBAL (RA) AND HIS COMPANIONS CALL HIM KAFIR AND THEY DO THAT BY CURSING HIM WITH NAME AND THEY DO ISTADLAL FROM THIS AYAH”Then, is it to be expected of you, if ye were put in authority, that ye will do mischief in the land, and break your ties of kith and kin? Such are the men whom Allah has cursed for He has made them deaf and blinded their sight. [Quran 47:22-23]
“THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT YAZID DID FASAD WHEN HE BECAME RULER” rather he utterly disrespected the Haramayn Tayibayn, the Ka’ba itself and the blessed shrine of Prophet (Peace be upon him). He tied horses in Masjid an Nabwi due to which the urine of them even spilled over the pulpit (Naudhobillah), for three days Adhaan and prayer was stopped in Masjid an Nabwi, he got thousands of innocent Sahaba martyred in Makkah, Madina and Hijaaz, got stones being thrown of Ka’ba, got the Ghulaaf torn and burnt, This “KHABEETH” made the pure and pious ladies of madina as Halal for his army (i.e. to do Zina .. AstaghfirUllah), he kept the loved one of Prophet as thirsty and hungry for 3 days and then got him slaughtered along with his companions. The ones who were brought up in the lap of Prophet, he made the horses trample their bodies (AstaghfirUllah)
The blessed face of Imam Hussain (ra) which was used to be kissed by Prophet, it was gotten cut and put on a spear and displayed it to public…
Imam Ahmed Raza (rah) after proving all this said (Please note the honesty of this Imam in Fiqh): Imam Ahmed and his Companions send Lanah on Yazid whereas our Imam Abu Hanifa (rah) has done “SUKOOT” over calling him Kafir or sending Lanah upon him, due to “CAUTION” but clarified that him being “FASIQ AND FAJIR” is prove from “TAWATUR” but Kufr is not Mutawatir, so whosoever does not (Consider him kafir) will not be held responsible but Whosoever rejects that he was Fasiq o Fajir and puts blame on the Malzoom Imam Hussain (ra) is “CLEARLY AGAINST THE FUNDAMENTALS OF AHLUS SUNNAH AND DOES ZALALAT AND IS FROM BAD MADHAB” rather this could never come from the heart of person who has the lamp of Prophet (Peace be upon him)’s love

""He heard the Prophet saying, 'Paradise is granted to the first batch of my followers who will undertake a naval expedition.' The Prophet then said, 'The first army amongst my followers who will invade Caesar's City will be forgiven their sins.'" (Sahih Bukhari volume 4 hadith 175)

► First attack on Caesar's city was in 42 hijri. Second attack was in 43 and "Hazrat Bosr ben ABI Arka was the leader of this army.
► Third attack was in 44 and this was led by Abdurehman ben Khalid ben Waleed. The next attack was in 46 hijri which was led by Maalik ben Abdurehman and Abdurehman ben Khalid ben Waleed.
► In 47 next attack was led by Maalik ben Hobaira and Abdurehman ben Qaiymi. In 49 hijri 3 rome was attacked for 3 times. and lastly yazid was in attack of 50 hijri.
Hazrat Amir Mawiya (RA) arrested Yazeed and sent him to ceasar because Yazeed was used to make fun of Mujahideen and as a punishment Yazeed was sent there not for Jihad
,
So Yazeed was in the seventh attack, not in the first attack and in Bukhari Shareef it is mentioned that 'The first army amongst' my followers who will invade Caesar's City will be forgiven their sins.'

The hadith of Bukhari does not mention name of Yazid so the lovers of Yazid just falsely assume a merit of him, however this sahih hadith of Abu Dawud mentions Abdur Rahman bin Khalid bin Walid by name, so without any shadow of doubt the Fasiq/Fajir Yazid loses this merit which his lovers try to attribute towards him.

Here is another proof from Imam al-Hafidh Jalal-ud-din Suyuti ( رحمة الله عليه )
Translation:You (Imam Hussain - Radhi Allaho Anho) were martyred and your head was brought to Ibn Ziyad on a plate. "May Allah's Lanah (Curse) be upon the person who killed you, Ibn Ziyad "AND UPON YAZID"
[As-Suyuti in Tarikh ul Khulafa, Page No. 165]
Translation:Nawfl bin Abi Firaat (rah) said that once he was sitting with Caliph Umar bin Abdul Aziz (rah) when a man called Yazid as "Ameer ul Momineen Yazid bin Muawiya" at this (Umar bin Abdul Aziz said in anger): YOU CALL THIS PERSON AS AMEER UL MOMINEEN?! and then he ordered the person to be "LASHED 20 TIMES"…in 63 AH Yazid got to know that people of Madina have rejected him and are preparing to revolt against him, knowing this Yazid sent a huge army to Madina and "DECLARED WAR UPON IT’S PEOPLE"after looting in Madina he sent the army to martyr Hadrat Abdullah bin Zubayr (ra) in Makkah and so the incident of "HURRA" took place, do you know what Hurra is? Regarding it Hassan (a Tabi'i) said: When Madina was attacked, there remained not a single person who was safe from it, "HUGE AMOUNT OF SAHABA AND OTHERS WERE MARTYRED PLUS MADINA WAS LOOTED AND THOUSANDS OF VIRGIN GIRLS WERE RAPED" Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun.
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: Whosoever frightens People of Madina then Allah will frighten them (the attackers) plus Curse (Lanah) of Allah, his Angels and all the people is upon such a person (Sahih Muslim) the reason why people of Madina did not give bayah to Yazid was because he was indulged in “TOO MANY SINS” Imam Waqidi (rah) narrates fromAbdullah Bin Khazlatal Ghusail (a Sahabi) that he said: By Allah we did not revolt against Yazid until we were sure that “WE WILL BE SHOWERED WITH STONES FROM SKY” (the Yazidans) started to do Nikah with their mothers, sisters and daughters, they started to drink openly and neglected prayers! Imam Dhahabi (rah) said: When Yazid did such things with people of Madina although “ HE WAS INDULGED IN DRINKING AND OTHER EVIL DEEDS EVEN BEFORE” then the people of Makkah also revolted against him and rose against him from 4 sides and then Allah did not put Barakah in life of Yazid (Then it mentions that Yazid attacked Makkah and got the Abdullah Ibn Zubayr Martyred)

Hadith Prediction: A nation with Black Flags & who are Sad for Ahle-Bait (as)
Please remember first the hadith of Thaqlain, where Rasool (saw) asked the people to watch out how they deal with Ahl al-Bayt.
Sahih Muslim, part 7, Kitab fada'il alSahabah [Maktabat wa Matba`at Muhammad `Ali Subayh wa Awladuhu: Cairo] pp. 122-123
أما بعد، ألا أيها الناس فإنّما أنا بشر يوشك أنْ يأتي رسول ربي فأجيب، وأنا تارك فيكم ثقلين: أولهما كتاب الله فيه الهدى والنور، فخذوا بكتاب الله واستمسكوا به» فحثّ على كتاب الله ورغّب فيه، ثم قال: «وأهل بيتي، أذكركم الله في أهل بيتي، أذكركم الله في أهل بيتي، أذكركم الله في أهل بيتي
O people, I am only a human being and I am about to respond to the messenger of my Lord [i.e. the call of death]. I am leaving behind Two Precious Things (Thaqalayn) among you. The first of the two is the Book of Allah. In it is guidance and light. So get hold of the Book of Allah and adhere to it." (The narrator, Zayd ibn al-Arqam said: Then he urged and motivated (us) regarding the Book of Allah . Then he said), "And my Ahl al-Bayt (family). I urge you to remember Allah regarding my Ahl al-Bayt. I urge you to remember Allah regarding my Ahl al-Bayt. I urge you to remember Allah regarding my Ahl al-Bayt
Now read this hadith:
Sunnan Ib Maja (Vol,1 page 517 Al Tazia,Egypt):
Narrated by Alqamah from Abdullah bin Masood:
One day we were sitting with Holy Prophet(s) when some children from the house of Bani Hashim came there. When the Holy Prophet(s) saw them, tears welled up in his eyes and he became pale.
Ibn Masood said that he told the Holy Prophet(s) "Your face reflects axiety".The Holy Prophet(s) stated:"Exalted God has granted us,the Ahlulbait, Hereafter instead of wordly pleasure.
After me,soon my Ahlubait will face calamity,harship and misery till people having black flags will rise from East and seek justice,which will be denied them.They will wage war,they will be supported and will be given what they were demanding.They will not accept until it is handed over to one from our Ahlulbait (i.e. Mahdi) .He will fill the earth with justice as it was filled with unjustice.Whoever amongst you is alive at that period, should try to reach them even if he has to tread on ince in that persuit."
Talibani/Deobandi Claim
They claim that in ancient time "Khurassan" was indicated as
"Khurasaan-e-Buzurg" and it consisted of Areas of Afghanistan (while
Present Khurasaan contains sacred City of Mashhad). So it is Taliban who
are mentioned in this hadith.
Wahabi Deobandies are doing a lot of Propaganda in Pakistan now-a-days by using this hadith. Therefore, let us analyse this hadith so that Batil should be made clear. Insha-Allah.
Wahabi Deobandies are doing a lot of Propaganda in Pakistan now-a-days by using this hadith. Therefore, let us analyse this hadith so that Batil should be made clear. Insha-Allah.
ANALYSIS of This Hadith
1) People of Ahle Bait (family of Prophet) will face calamity. (While Nasibi Deobandi Sapah Sahaba deny calamity of Fatima (salam Allah Alaiha), and also believe that YAZID is promised for Paradise due to fabricated hadith of First Naval War and Caesar's City (read it's fabrication here)
1.1) Rasool Allah started weeping upon the calmities of Ahle Bait, but here is Sapah Sahaba who never weeps for what happened to Hussain
in Karbala.Just see who are Ahle Bait? Were it wives of Muhammad (saw) who were driven out of their homes ? Or were it progeny of Muhammad (saw) who faced calmities?
2) People will rise to assist them with BLACK FLAGS [Need we to tell you who are the holder of these Black Flags throughout whole History in all these passing centuries?]
3) These people will come from EAST
[Another hadith says that from EAST, it means "KHURASAAN". This hadith has been quoted by Mawlana Israr Ahmad in his book "Shia Sunni Mufahimat ki ahmiat aur zaroorat"]
4) These people are those, who are SAD FOR THE Calamites upon Ahle Bait (family of Prophet), and they love Ahle Bait above all.
Need I still to tell you more who are the people who are SAD and thus indicated in these Ahadith of Mahdi ?
One more Hadith about Black Flags:
Dear brothers/sisters, Black Flag is Only the Sign of Shiaism, while all other Nasibies/Wahabies of Saudia have Bidati Flags.
One more authentic Hadith on this matter:
One more authentic Hadith on this matter:
"Thawbaan reported that the Prophet (Sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said, 'Three will fight for the your treasure (of the Ka`bah), each of them the son of a 'Khaleefah', it will be rendered to none of them. Then from the direction of the East will emerge black flags. Then they will fight you like they have fought none before.' Then some words were spoken which I did not remember. He then said, 'If you see him, give bay`ah to him even if you must crawl over ice. For, verily, he is the 'Khaleefah' of Allah (Khaleefatullaah), the Mahdi"
This Hadeeth is found in Ibn Maajah, Ahmad's Musnad, al-Haakim's Mustadrak and others. Now let us analyze the chain of narration found in Ibn Maajah's Sunan:
1) Reported to Ibn Maajah by both Muhammad bin Yahya and Ahmad bin Yusuf - Both reliable; Imam Muslim has said about Ahmad bin Yusuf, "He is reliable (thiqqah)." an-Nasaa'i has said, "There is no problem in him." ad-DaraaquTni has said, "Reliable and noble (thiqqah nabeel)."
2) `Abdur-Razzaq bin Hammaam as-San`aani - Reliable. Ahmad bin Hanbal was asked about him, "Have you seen anyone better in Hadeeth than `Abdur-Razzaaq?" He replied, "No".
3) Sufyaan ath-Thawri - Too reputable to record his merits. Very reliable. Shu`bah, Sufyaan bin `Uyaynah, Abu `AaSim an-Nabeel and YaHya ibn Ma`een among others said: "Sufyaan is the 'Ameer al-Mu'mineen" of Hadeeth"!
4) Khaalid bin Mahraan al-Hathaa' - Reliable. Ahmad bin Hanbal has said, "Trustworthy (thabt)." Ibn Ma`een and an-Nasaa'i have both said, "Reliable (thiqqah)."
5) Abi Qulaaba Abdullaah bin Zayd al-Harrami - Reliable. Muhammad bin Sa`d has said in his "at-Tabaqah ath-Thaaniyah min Ahl al-Basrah" about him, "He was reliable (thiqqah)."
6) Abu Asmaa' `Amroo bin Marthad ar-RaHabi - Reliable. al-`Ijly has said about him, "Shaami, Tabi`ee, Reliable (thiqqah)."
7) Thawbaan - Companion and servant of the Prophet (Sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam).
8) The Prophet (Sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam).
["Tahtheeb al-Kamaal" of al-Mizzi and "Tahtheeb at-Tahtheeb" of Ibn Hajar were referenced for verification of the Narrators]
The Flag of Rasool Allah (saw) was of black colour
We are quoting from authentic work of Ahl'ul Sunnah "Sunnan Abu Dawud", vol 3, page 22, Kitab-ul-Jihad, and "Tirmidhi Shareef", vol. 1, page 528:
"There was a special flag of Rasool Allah (s), whose name was "Uqaab" and it consisted of curtain of Ayesha's house. And its colour was black."
It is written in book Akseer-ul-Abadaat, page 263:
" Ali told Malik-e-Ashtar that I have a Standard, which I never took out before. And it was the first Standard of Rasool Allah (saw) and he told me that a time will come when you will fight with rebels. Then Ali (as) took out that Standard, which became old. When people saw the Standard of Rasool (s), they started weeping in loud voice. And all those who found the way till Standard, they kissed it."
So, where are those who declare the Black Flag of Shias to be an
Innovation. Where are the those who declare kissing the flag and weeping
in loud voice to be an Innovation and misguidance.
On the Sacrifice of Imam Husayn (RAA): A Sunni Message
Message from A Sunni Scholar : Shaykh Al- Ninowy
The following article is a message from Sayyidi Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya al-Husayni Al- Ninowy (may Allah preserve and elevate him) written last year on the advent of Muharram. Since we have just entered the month of Muharram 1430, it would be appropriate to share this wonderful message on Muharram and the sacrifice of Imam Husayn (peace be upon him):
“Among the believers are Men, who delivered their promise to Allah” (Ayah 23/Surat Al-Ahzab)
If history has taught us anything, it has certainly delivered a message with unequivocal resonance; Haqq and freedom are not something that is given. Haqq and Freedom are things people take, and people are as free and on the Haqq as they want to be.
If history has taught us anything, it has certainly delivered a message with unequivocal resonance; Haqq and freedom are not something that is given. Haqq and Freedom are things people take, and people are as free and on the Haqq as they want to be.
Virtues of Muharram And The Sacrifice Of Imam Husayn (RAA)
Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim
Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim
“Among the believers are Men, who delivered their promise to Allah” (Ayah 23/Surat Al-Ahzab)
If history has taught us anything, it has certainly delivered a message with unequivocal resonance; Haqq and freedom are not something that is given. Haqq and Freedom are things people take, and people are as free and on the Haqq as they want to be.
Islam, the religion of Haqq, justice and freedom came ito a place and time where oppression was the rule, slavery was a tool to humiliate the weak, killings a way to solve problems. A society fueled by feuds, raging by violence, and merely being born in the wrong family could mean eternal slavery, oppression, and stripping of any and all rights.
The Beloved Holy Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, emerged as the voice denouncing those ways while striving to ensure justice and equality.
By endangering himself, he -sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, gave us one of the most precious monotheistic gifts, namely the collective duty of self criticism.
Speak the truth though against yourself. Support the Haqq, denounce the Batel. Stand with the Haqq, abdondon the Batel.Stand up to oppressors and tyrants, no matter of the price.The Seerah of the Beloved Holy Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, taken as a whole, may be summarized as a succession of victories of Haqq over Batel, of Justice over Tyranny, of Freedom over Slavery.
If the Beloved Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, has taught us anything, then among the many, he taught us an important lesson.
One that the Qur’an amplified numerously: It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather a profoundly faithful few, who are keen to uphold the truth and sacrifice for it.To be the example of a candle that burns itself illuminating the way for others, to give the ultimate sacrifice to enlighten the path of the truth, as the truth and only the truth shall set you free.
In a very famous Hadith, the Beloved Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, says: “Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn”. The meaning entailed by this Hadith is not that I am Husayn’s grandfather, as this is an obvious fact. The meaning sheds light that Husayn is like me, Husayn’s line is similar to my line, Husayn’s message is my message, Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn.
The Ayahs and Ahadith about Ahl ul Bayt al-Athar including their Master Al-Imam Al-Husayn are numerous, that most of you know.
We are already in Muharram, and in a few days, the day of Ashura comes. A day where the Beloved of the Beloved demonstrated the highest of nobility, and offered the ultimate of sacrifices. It is no wonder, knowing that he is the grandsone of our Beloved Holy Prophet, the son of Amirul-Muminin Ali, brother of Al-Imam Al-Hasan, and a beloved son to Master, the Lady of Ahl ul Jannah Sayyidatina wa Mawlatuna Fatimah-Azzahra, sallallahu ala sayyidina Muhammad wa aalihi wa sallam.
There was a noble reason that demanded the martyrdom of Imam Husayn. The simple and obvious reason is simply to preserve Islam. Islam, Haqq, Truth, Justice, Equality, Freedom and Liberty are all precious values that demanded precious sacrifice. That, to my mind, is the supreme significance of martyrdom. But the highest honour must still lie with the symbol, who faced fearful odds and refused to surrender to evil. Rather than allow a stigma to attach to sacred things, they paid with their own lives the penalty of honour and Haqq. The begining of the batter offered by our beloved Imam Husayn was when he went from city to city, hunted about from place to place, but making no compromise with evil. Then was offered the choice of an effectual but dangerous attempt at clearing the house of God, or living at ease for himself while closing an eye on the ongoing destruction of Islam and its values. He chose the path of danger and hardships with duty and honour, and never swerved from it giving up his life freely in the absolute bravest of ways ever known to Mankind.
That briefly is the story. What is the lesson? There is ofcourse the physical suffering in martyrdom, and all sorrow and suffering claim our sympathy, —- the dearest, nearest, purest, closest to our hearts, souls and minds. The one who the Beloved Holy Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, himself used to interrupt his speeches to pick him up, delay his prostration to honour and not bother him, the one whose face not only is honourable, but it is the face where The Holy Prophet’s honorable lips, face, and body touched, loved, and valued. It is that very same honorable face, that Yazid bin Mu’awiyah ibn Abi Sufyaan al-Ummayadi humiliated, slaughtered, put on the spears, and kicked…….. There are no words that can describe the pain profoundly felt in every Free Human’s mind, soul, and heart.
But there is a greater suffering than physical suffering. That is when a valiant soul seems to stand against the world; when the noblest motives of Islam are reviled and mocked; when truth seems to suffer an eclipse. It may even seem that the martyr has but to say a word of compliance, do a little deed of non-resistance; and much sorrow and suffering would be saved; and the insidious whisper comes:
“Truth after all will never die”
But the whole battle is for man’s keeping hold of Haqq and Freedom. And that can only be done by the highest examples of man’s conduct - spiritual striving and suffering enduring firmness of faith and purpose, patience and courage where ordinary mortals would give in or be cowed down, the sacrifice of ordinary motives to supreme truth in scorn of consequence.
The martyr bears witness, and the witness redeems what would otherwise be called failure. It so happened with Al-Imam Al-Husayn, the Master of the youth of Ahlul Jannah. For all were touched by the story of his martyrdom, and it gave the deathblow to the tyrant politics of Yazid bin Mu’awiyah ibn Abi Sufyaan al-Ummayadi and all the oppression it stood for. And Imam Al-Husayn being alive, more alive than ever, not only externally but living profoundly deep in our hearts, in our souls, and in our minds, has still the power to ignite the light of truth in the heart of all free, to send a message to the courageous not to bow down to evil, and to teach people not to surrender to tyranny.
There are those who until today believe that forgeries, fancy words, and booklets can mask the shining truth. Persistent attempts to distance Al-Imam Al-Husayn and his Sirah away from Ahlus Sunnah are ongoing, and more intense, and serious than ever. This Yazidi line, regardless of what banner or name they choose to brand themselves with, can no longer fool the intellectual Muslim. Their scare tactics, labeling, and “intellectual terrorism” are weapons of the past, and no longer effective for those who see. While we must pray for their guidance, we shall never fall as victims to their misguidance.
In the upcoming very sad days in our lives, and the life of every free human being, I urge myself and you To:
If history has taught us anything, it has certainly delivered a message with unequivocal resonance; Haqq and freedom are not something that is given. Haqq and Freedom are things people take, and people are as free and on the Haqq as they want to be.
Islam, the religion of Haqq, justice and freedom came ito a place and time where oppression was the rule, slavery was a tool to humiliate the weak, killings a way to solve problems. A society fueled by feuds, raging by violence, and merely being born in the wrong family could mean eternal slavery, oppression, and stripping of any and all rights.
The Beloved Holy Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, emerged as the voice denouncing those ways while striving to ensure justice and equality.
By endangering himself, he -sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, gave us one of the most precious monotheistic gifts, namely the collective duty of self criticism.
Speak the truth though against yourself. Support the Haqq, denounce the Batel. Stand with the Haqq, abdondon the Batel.Stand up to oppressors and tyrants, no matter of the price.The Seerah of the Beloved Holy Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, taken as a whole, may be summarized as a succession of victories of Haqq over Batel, of Justice over Tyranny, of Freedom over Slavery.
If the Beloved Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, has taught us anything, then among the many, he taught us an important lesson.
One that the Qur’an amplified numerously: It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather a profoundly faithful few, who are keen to uphold the truth and sacrifice for it.To be the example of a candle that burns itself illuminating the way for others, to give the ultimate sacrifice to enlighten the path of the truth, as the truth and only the truth shall set you free.
In a very famous Hadith, the Beloved Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, says: “Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn”. The meaning entailed by this Hadith is not that I am Husayn’s grandfather, as this is an obvious fact. The meaning sheds light that Husayn is like me, Husayn’s line is similar to my line, Husayn’s message is my message, Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn.
The Ayahs and Ahadith about Ahl ul Bayt al-Athar including their Master Al-Imam Al-Husayn are numerous, that most of you know.
We are already in Muharram, and in a few days, the day of Ashura comes. A day where the Beloved of the Beloved demonstrated the highest of nobility, and offered the ultimate of sacrifices. It is no wonder, knowing that he is the grandsone of our Beloved Holy Prophet, the son of Amirul-Muminin Ali, brother of Al-Imam Al-Hasan, and a beloved son to Master, the Lady of Ahl ul Jannah Sayyidatina wa Mawlatuna Fatimah-Azzahra, sallallahu ala sayyidina Muhammad wa aalihi wa sallam.
There was a noble reason that demanded the martyrdom of Imam Husayn. The simple and obvious reason is simply to preserve Islam. Islam, Haqq, Truth, Justice, Equality, Freedom and Liberty are all precious values that demanded precious sacrifice. That, to my mind, is the supreme significance of martyrdom. But the highest honour must still lie with the symbol, who faced fearful odds and refused to surrender to evil. Rather than allow a stigma to attach to sacred things, they paid with their own lives the penalty of honour and Haqq. The begining of the batter offered by our beloved Imam Husayn was when he went from city to city, hunted about from place to place, but making no compromise with evil. Then was offered the choice of an effectual but dangerous attempt at clearing the house of God, or living at ease for himself while closing an eye on the ongoing destruction of Islam and its values. He chose the path of danger and hardships with duty and honour, and never swerved from it giving up his life freely in the absolute bravest of ways ever known to Mankind.

There is ofcourse the physical suffering in martyrdom, and all sorrow and suffering claim our sympathy, —- the dearest, nearest, purest, closest to our hearts, souls and minds.

While we must pray for their guidance, we shall never fall as victims to their misguidance.
In the upcoming very sad days in our lives, and the life of every free human being, I urge myself and you To:
1. Express sadness and show sorrow for the
massacre of the dearest and purest of the Family of the Beloved Prophet,
sallallahu alayhi wa aalih wa sallam. It is customary to many families
of Ahlul bayt to show sadness during this month.
2. Expressing sorrow should be manifested by sincere intentions of repentance, and believing that if you were with them, you would have been on the side of Imam Husayn, even if it costs you any and everything.
3. Increasing the recitation of Qur’an, and try to teach your fellow family, friends, and non-Muslims about the revolution of Imam Husayn.
4. Increase your Istigfaar per day, and increase your Durud on the Beloved Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam.
5. Learn the Sirah of Imam Husayn, try to benefit from it, love it, live it.
6. Be generous to your family: bring them water ( and remember on this day Yazid’s army prevented Imam Husayn from drinking water), bring them food and remember the things that happened.
7. Be thankful to Allah, and ask Him to gather you with the supporters of Imam Husayn in this Dunya, and with his supporters and companions in the Akhira.
8. Be on the Haqq. Just, Freedom side,and check yourself.
9. Make the month of Muharram a month of Al-Husayn in your life, in a step to eventually make every month a month of Al-Husayn, Grandfather of Al-Husayn, Father of Al-Husayn, Mother of Al-Husayn, Brother of Al-Husayn, and those who love and follow Al-Husayn.
10. This is your chance to abandon the rest and follow the best. This is your chance to connect with Al-Imam Al-Husayn. Take time, purify your heart and connect.

His story purifies our emotions. We can best honour his memory by allowing it to teach us courage and constancy.
The sacrifice of Imam Husayn comes after the Sacrifice of his father, Sayyiduna Amirul’Muminin wa Imam al-Mutaqqeen Ali bin Abi Taleb al-Hashimi, and the sacrifice of Imam Hasan, and the line of sacrifice and martyrs among Ahlul Bayt is still a line enlightening the way for generations to come. They are like stars; you will not succeed in reaching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny.
Al-Imam Al-Husayn’s message was simple and clear: Is life so dear or so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty Allah! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Haqq, or give me death!
“It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees”

Suni Hadiths on the Event of Karbala
Shaykh G F Haddad writes:
AL-HUSAYN IBN `ALI - ALLAH BE WELL-PLEASED WITH HIM
Al-Hâkim and al-Bayhaqî narrated from Umm
al-Fad.l bint al-Hârith (? who said: "I went in to see the Prophet one
day, carrying al-Husayn, whom I placed in his lap. Then when I turned to
look at him again, lo! I saw the eyes of the Messenger of Allâh
brimming with tears. He said: 'Gibrîl just came and told me that my
Community would kill this son of mine, and he brought me a handful of
his resting-ground - red earth.'"41
Ibn Râhûyah, al-Bayhaqî, and Abû Nu`aym
narrated from Umm Salama - Allâh be well-pleased with her that the
Messenger of Allâh lay down one day and woke up sluggish, holding a
handful of read earth in his hand and turning it this way and that I
said: "What is this earth, O Messenger of Allâh?" He replied: "Gibrîl
informed me that this one - meaning al-Husayn - would be killed in the
land of Iraq, and this is his resting-ground."42
Abû Nu`aym narrated from Umm Salama (ra)
who said: "Al-Hasan and al-Husayn were playing in my house when Gibrîl
descended and said, 'O Muhammad, verily your Community shall kill this
son of yours,' signaling to al-Husayn and bringing him [some of] his
resting-ground; he smelled it and said, 'It smells of hardship (karb)
and affliction (balâ').' Then he said, 'If this soil turns to blood,
know that my son has been killed.' So I kept it in a jar."43
Ibn `Asâkir narrated from Muhammad ibn
`Amr44 ibn Hasan who said: "We were with al-Husayn at the river of
Karbalâ'45 when he looked at Shimr ibn Dhî al-Jawshan and said, 'Allâh
and His Messenger were right! The Messenger of Allâh said: "I can see a
spotted dog drooling over the blood of the people of my House."' Shimr
was a leper."46
Ibn al-Sakan, al-Baghawî, and Abû Nu`aym
narrated from Anas ibn al-Hârith who said, "I heard the Messenger of
Allâh say: 'Truly this son of mine' - meaning al-Husayn - shall be
killed in a land called Karbalâ'. Whoever among you is present then,
help him!' Hence, Anas ibn al-Hârith went to Karbalâ' and was killed
there with al-Husayn."47
Al-Tabarânî narrated from `A'isha - Allâh
be well-pleased with her that the Prophet said: "Gibrîl told me that my
son, al-Husayn, would be killed after me in the land of al-Taff [between
Syria and Iraq], and he brought me this earth and told me that in it
would be his resting-place."48 Ahmad and Ibn Sa`d narrated it from `Alî
in the wording: "We feel he shall be killed on the shore of the
Euphrates."49
Al-Baghawî narrated in his Mu`jam as
reported from Anas ibn Mâlik who said: "The Angel of rain asked
permission of his Lord to visit the Prophet and he obtained it. He came
to visit him during the day he usually spent with Umm Salama. The
Prophet said: "Umm Salama, keep the door closed and let no-one disturb
us." As she reached the door, al-Husayn darted in and ran to the Prophet
who began to hugh him and kiss him. The angel said to him, "Do you love
him?" He said yes. The angel continued: "Truly, your Community shall
kill him and, if you wish, I shall show you the place where he shall be
killed." He showed it to him and brought him some reddish earth [from
it], which Umm Salama took and put in her robe. Thâbit al-Bunânî - its
narrator from Anas - said: "We considered that it was Karbalâ'."50
In the narration of Mullâ al-Mawsilî Umm
Salama says, "The Prophet handed me a handful of red earth, saying:
'This is from the ground on which he [al-Husayn] shall be killed. When
it turns to blood, know that he has been killed.'" Umm Salama said that
she placed it "in a jar that I had, and I used to apprehend the terrible
day when it would turn to blood."51 Al-Husayn was martyred as he had
said, in Karbalâ', in Iraq, near al-Kûfa, in a place also known as
al-Taff. This hadîth contains another stunning miracle of his , namely,
the disclosure that Umm Salama would live beyond the time when al-Husayn
would be killed, as took place.

FOOTNOTES
41 Narrated from Umm al-Fadl by al-Hâkim
(3:176-177=1990 ed 3:194) who said it is sound by the criteria of
al-Bukhârî and Muslim but al-Dhahabî said: "Rather, it is da`îf
munqati`, Shaddâd did not meet Umm al-Fadl while Muhammad ibn Mus`ab
[al-Qirqisânî] is weak." However, al-Dhahabî cited a similar report in
the Siyar (al-Arna'ût ed 3:289) and said its chain was fair.
42 Narrated from Umm Salama by Ibn Abî
`Asim in al-Ahâd wa al-Mathânî (1:310 #429), al-Tabarânî in al-Kabîr
(3:109, 23:308), and al-Hâkim (1990 ed 4:440) with a fair chain because
of Mûsâ ibn Ya`qûb al-Zam`î; and from `A'isha by al-Tabarânî in al-Kabîr
(3:107 #2815). Also narrated from "`A'isha or Umm Salama" by Ahmad in
the Musnad and Fadâ'il al-Sahâba but with a very weak chain.
43 Narrated by al-Tabarânî in al-Kabîr
(3:108 #2817), al-Mizzî in Tahdhîb al-Kamâl (6:409), and Ibn Hajar in

al-Kabîr (3:107 #2814) and al-Awsat (6:249 #6316) with weak chains per
al-Haythamî (8:288, 9:188), cf. al-Suyûtî, Ziyâdat al-Jâmi` al-Saghîr
(#147) and Kanz (#34299). It is overall fair since it and Umm Salama's
narration are mutually reinforced

Allâh ibn Nujayy al-Hadramî and his father - as per al-Arna'ût in the
