Imam Husain(A.S.)-The Chief of Martyrs: September 2019

Muharram : मुहर्रम :कौन हैं इमाम हुसैन जिन्होंने कर्बला में दी थी कुर्बानी

During the war of Karbala, were the people who killed Imam Hussain R.A. the Yazidi? Which ummah do they belong to, Sunni, Shia, or Wahabi?

I am really happy that someone asked this question.

Here's the thing,

There were no Sunni, Shia, Wahabi branches of Islam as it is today, in those times, people were known by their native place, like there were Kufis from Kufa, Farsi from Persia etc.

So who killed Imam Hussain (A.S)?

I get this from many of Muslims that Shias are the one who killed Imam Hussain and now they're the one weeping for Him(A.S) and that is so untrue.

So what happened exactly?

When people came to know about how brutal and tyrant Muawiya and Yazid was, they wanted someone more generous ruler like Imam Hussain to rule upon them and they wrote to Imam to come and fight for them and they'll support Him, now these people didn't wanted Imam Hussain as he was chosen by Allah and he was son of Ali just for the sake of good ruler.

There were basically three types of people in Kufa.

The one who really loved Imam and were ready to sacrifice their lives for Imam.
The one who wanted Imam as the ruler just because he is more generous than a tyrant ruler like yazid.
The one who wanted to support Imam because, they thought when Imam will wage a war against Yazid, they'll get a lot of booty as Yazid was an opulent ruler.

But when Yazid sent Ubaidullah ibn Ziyad as the governor of Kufa who was a cruel ruler and didn't spared life of anyone who supported Imam, the Type 2 and Type 3 people got against Imam.

There were Type 1 people in kufa who sacrificed themselves for Imam and bared a lot of pain on the consequences of supporting Imam, those were true Shia, who didn't care for their lives, and believed the Imamate as a divine order and went through all the oppression carried upon them to support the Imam.

So Type 2 and Type 3 kufis killed Imam Hussain(A.S) on the orders of Yazid.

People who killed Imam Hussain were also Muslims. Is that correct? If yes, then didn't they know he was the grandson of their Prophet?

People who killed Imam Hussain were also Muslims. Is that correct?

Yes they were from the Muslims but of course were deviated from the right path.

Nafi’ b. Hilal al-Jamali (a companion of Imam al-Husayn) was fighting on that day, reciting:

“I am al-Jamali. I believe in the religion of `Ali.”

A man called Muzahim b. Hurayth came against him, crying,

“I follow the religion of ‘Uthman.”

Nafi’ replied, “Rather you follow the religion of Satan.”

Then he attacked and killed him.

Source - al-Tabari, Ta’rikh (English translation), vol. 19, pp. 136–7

In another example, we have ‘Amr b. al-Hajjaj, when he approached the followers of al-Husayn, say to them:

“People of Kufa, stay steadfast in your obedience and unity (jama'ah). Do not have any doubts about fighting against those who have strayed from the true religion and have opposed the imam.”

Al-Husayn retorted, “‘Amr b. al-Hajjaj, are you urging the people against me? Are we the ones who have strayed from the true religion, and you the ones who have remained firm in it ? By God! If our souls were taken, and you died with your actions, you would know which of us has strayed from the true religion and who was more worthy to be roasted by Hell-fire.”

Source - al-Tabari, Ta’rikh (English translation), vol. 19, p. 137

Both these examples, and there are so many more, prove that the people who came to battle against Imam al-Husayn were from claimants of Islam.

If yes, then didn't they know he was the grandson of their Prophet?

Yes they did. This is because Imam al-Husayn made sure everyone lined up to kill him knew who he was.

He addressed them on the day of Ashura before fighting commenced. The tone of his voice was so loud that most people heard:

"People, listen to my words and do not hurry me so that I may remind you of the duties you have toward me and so that I may give you reasons for my coming to you.

If you accept my reasons, believe my words and give me justice, you will become happier through that, and you will not have any cause against me. If you do not accept my reasons and give me justice of your own accord as individuals, 'Then agree upon your affair and call your associates. Let not your affair be in darkness to you.' [Cf. Quran 10:71] Indeed my guardian is God, Who sent down the Book. He takes care of the righteous.' [Cf. Quran 7:196].(1)

The Imam continued, "Trace back my lineage and consider who I am. Then, look back at yourselves and remonstrate with yourselves. Consider whether it is right for you to kill me and desecrate my inviolability.

Am I not the son of the daughter of your Prophet, the son of the executor of his will and his cousin, the first of believers in God and the man who first believed in what His Apostle brought from his Lord? Was not Hamzah, the leader of the martyrs, my father's uncle and Ja'far at-Tayyar my own uncle? Have you not heard the Prophet of God's saying concerning myself and my brother: 'These are the two lords of the youths of the inhabitants of heaven'?

"If you believe what I am saying - and it is the truth for, by God, I have never told a lie since I learned that God hated people who told them and that those who opposed Him grieved Him ... If you still regard me as a liar, then there are still to be found people who would tell you the truth if you ask them. Ask Jabir b. Abdullah al-Ansari, Abu Said al-Khudri, Sahl b. Sa'd, Zayd b. Arqam and Anas b. Malik to tell you what they have heard from the Apostle of God concerning myself and my brother. Is this not sufficient to prevent your shedding my blood?

"If you are in doubt about this, do you have the slightest doubt that I am the son of the daughter of your Prophet? By God! There is no son of a prophet other than me among you and among the other peoples from east to west. Tell me, are you seeking retribution from me for one of your dead whom I have killed, or for property of yours that I have expropriated, or for a wound that I have inflicted?"

Dead silence reigned over the whole army and nobody uttered a word.

How would you explain Ashura to someone who does not know anything about it?

By Mahmood Abu Maryam on Quora

This article may perhaps throw some light on what Ashura was all about. It is being quoted with attribution to its source.

“The month of Muharram brings with it the memory of a sacrifice the like of which is difficult to find in the history of Islam, indeed of mankind. Imam Husayn (AS) and his family and companions emerged victorious in a battle that they seemingly lost in material terms. The cost of this victory was immense, a period of great suffering which ended for the martyrs on the tenth day, the Ashura, but was to go on for much longer for the family members who were taken captive.

Imam Husayn was the grandson of the Prophet (PBUH). He and his brother Hasan (AS) had been declared leaders of the youth of Paradise. So how could people calling themselves muslims turn to kill him? Their problem was the age old one of ignorance and greed. They were either not aware of his high merits and noble lineage or were more attracted to the worldly benefits that a successful battle against him would bring.

In order to remove any misconceptions in the minds of his opponents, the Imam addressed them on the day of Ashura before fighting commenced. The tone of his voice was so loud that most people heard, "People, listen to my words and do not hurry me so that I may remind you of the duties you have toward me and so that I may give you reasons for my coming to you.

If you accept my reasons, believe my words and give me justice, you will become happier through that, and you will not have any cause against me. If you do not accept my reasons and give me justice of your own accord as individuals, 'Then agree upon your affair and call your associates. Let not your affair be in darkness to you.' [Cf. Quran 10:71] Indeed my guardian is God, Who sent down the Book. He takes care of the righteous.' [Cf. Quran 7:196].(1)

The Imam continued, "Trace back my lineage and consider who I am. Then, look back at yourselves and remonstrate with yourselves. Consider whether it is right for you to kill me and desecrate my inviolability.

Am I not the son of the daughter of your Prophet, the son of the executor of his will and his cousin, the first of believers in God and the man who first believed in what His Apostle brought from his Lord? Was not Hamzah, the leader of the martyrs, my father's uncle and Ja'far at-Tayyar my own uncle? Have you not heard the Prophet of God's saying concerning myself and my brother: 'These are the two lords of the youths of the inhabitants of heaven'?

"If you believe what I am saying - and it is the truth for, by God, I have never told a lie since I learned that God hated people who told them and that those who opposed Him grieved Him ... If you still regard me as a liar, then there are still to be found people who would tell you the truth if you ask them. Ask Jabir b. Abdullah al-Ansari, Abu Said al-Khudri, Sahl b. Sa'd, Zayd b. Arqam and Anas b. Malik to tell you what they have heard from the Apostle of God concerning myself and my brother. Is this not sufficient to prevent your shedding my blood? (2)

"If you are in doubt about this, do you have the slightest doubt that I am the son of the daughter of your Prophet? By God! There is no son of a prophet other than me among you and among the other peoples from east to west. Tell me, are you seeking retribution from me for one of your dead whom I have killed, or for property of yours that I have expropriated, or for a wound that I have inflicted?" Dead silence reigned over the whole army and nobody uttered a word.(3)

The speech of the Imam had an effect on those hearts that still had some remnants of humanity left in them. The classic struggle between 'Ruh' and 'Nafs' began. Where goodness won, the men found themselves in the ranks of the Imam, willing to fight the enemy to certain death.

The foremost of these men was Hurr b. Yazid. A commander in Ibn Sa'd's army, he had intercepted the Imam's contingent at Dhu Husum, where he addressed the Imam, "Husayn, I remind you of God with regard to your life, for I testify that if you fight, you will be fought, and if you are fought, you will be killed."

He replied, "Do you think that you can frighten me with death? Could a worse disaster happen to you than killing me? I do not know what to say to you. I can only address you as the brother of al-Aws addressed his cousin when he met the latter as he was going to help the Apostle of God. His cousin said to him: 'Where are you going, for you will be killed?' He replied:

I will depart, for there is no shame in death for a young man whenever he intends right and strives as a Muslim, And has supported righteous men through the sacrifice of his life, abandoned the cursed and made alliance with the consecrated" (4)

These words must have resonated in Hurr's mind. A decision had to be taken before commencement of hostilities. True to the meaning of his name, Hurr opted for true freedom. Little by little he began to approach the Imam's camp. One of his tribe Muhajir b. Aws asked him, "What do you want, Ibn Yazid? Do you want to attack?" He was silent but a great shudder came over him.

Al-Muhajir said, "By God! Ibn Yazid, your behaviour is suspicious.

By God! I have never seen you act like this before. If I was asked who was the bravest of the Kufans, I would not ignore you. What is this I see in you?" Hurr answered, "By God! I am giving my soul the choice between heaven and the fire of hell. By God! I will not choose anything before heaven, even though I am cut to pieces and burnt." (5)

He whipped his horse and joined the Imam. He said, "May God accept my soul for you, son of the Apostle of God. I was the one who intercepted you and made you stop in this place... I have come repenting to my Lord for what I have done, and offering you my life as consolation so that I may die before you. Will you accept that as repentance from me?"

The Imam replied, "Yes, God will accept your repentance and forgive you... You are the free man (al-hurr) as your mother named you. You are a free man in this world and the next." (6)

The battle began. All who fought lost their lives, though what they won was worth much more. Not only did they secure a place in Paradise but they also set an everlasting example of justice and morality, of patience and sacrifice, and above all, of freedom for generations to come.

The story of Hurr is a story of this freedom - freedom from the other-than-God and from the ungodly. It is the story of hope for you and me, an opportunity to reexamine our lives to see where we stand in this world, where both the opportunity for piety and wretchedness exists. Do we obey the commandments of Islam and identify ourselves with Imam Husayn? For, as Sana'i said:

Religion is your Husayn, while desires and hopes are pigs and dogs - yet you kill the first through thirst and feed these two. How can you keep on cursing the wicked Yazid and Shimr? You are a Shimr and a Yazid for your own Husayn! (7)

Who is Imam Hussain? Why did he launch an uprising?

By Zahir Jafri on Quora

Courtesy : https://www.quora.com/Who-is-Imam-Hussain-Why-did-he-launch-an-uprising/answer/Zahir-Jafri-2?ch=10&share=66322b5b&srid=hOPZ0

Imam Hussain is the one who launch an ultimate uprising for the sake of Truth and Justice.

Imam Hussain was the Grandson of Prophet Muhammad SAW, son of Imam Ali and Fatima Zahra the daughter of Prophet (SAW). On the 10th of Muharram on the day of Ashura when he along with all his family rose to fight against that time tyrant ruler Caliph Yazeed. Thus Hussain became a 7th century revolutionary leader who stood for social justice against Opression, tyranny and terrorism. His legacy inspires millions worldwide.

Muharram is the month in which Hussain launch an ultimate uprising against tyranny, injustice, oppression and terrorism.

Muharram is the first month of Islamic calender in which the Tragedy of Karbala occurred when the family of Prophet SAW along with grandson Hussain was brutally killed. Thus this month is the commomoration of the sacrifice of Imam Hussain and his family with his companions on the land of Karbala, Iraq.

Why did Imam Hussain (a.s.) rise up? Did Imam Hussain (a.s.) rise up only for opposing a corrupt ruler like Yazid? Which were the true dimensions of Imam Hussain's movement?

Pic: The holy shrine of Imam Hussain in Karbala, Iraq.

Imam Hussain's (a.s.) movement is, indeed, perceivable via two perspectives—both of which are acceptable. Nonetheless, when put together, the two views show the extensive dimensions of this movement. One perspective involves the appearance of Imam Hussain’s action, which is a movement against a corrupt, deviated, suppressive and oppressive regime: Yazid’s Regime. But, at the heart of his action, there is a more important movement that the second perspective will lead to: the move against ignorance and humiliation of the mankind. In fact, even though Imam Hussain (a.s.) fights against Yazid, his extensive historical fight is not against the short-living and insignificant Yazid. Rather, his main fight is against mankind’s ignorance, abasement, deviation and humiliation. Indeed, Imam Hussain (a.s.) fights against such vices.

What is Muharram?

Imam Hussain was the Grandson of Prophet Muhammad SAW, son of Imam Ali. On the 10th of this month fall the day of Ashura when he along with all his family rose to fight against that time tyrant ruler Caliph Yazeed. Thus Hussain became a 7th century revolutionary leader who stood for social justice against Opression, tyranny and terrorism. His legacy inspires millions worldwide.

Some other facts about the month of Moharrum, I cannot say which one is lesser known or famous :

Prophet Mohammed’s grandson Husayn was martyred by the so called Muslim Caliph Yazid in this month. He was a saintly figure, all men from Husayn’s family were martyred, women captivated - chained sent to Syria to the Caliph’s court. This is the most important event of this month.
Muharrum is the first month of Islamic calendar. This calendar was introduced by Caliph Umar and Caliph Uthman suggested that this calendar should start with the month of Moharrum. See wikipedia
Muharrum is a month of Mourning for Shia Muslims due to the martyrdom of Imam Husayn and some ignorant Sunni / Wahabi / Salafi Muslims celebrate this month as a beginning of the Islamic New Year. Weddings / merry-making are a normal phenomenon for Sunnis / Wahabis in this month.
10th of Muharrum is the day of Ashura.
Muharram is one of the three successive sacred (forbidden) months mentioned by the Prophet of Islam in which bloodshed / battles are forbidden, still the so called Muslims fought a battle with the grandson of Mohammed and brutally killed him!
Shia Muslims fast on the first day of Muharram and Sunni Muslims fast on the day of Ashura (10th Moharrum).
On the 3rd of Muharrum Prophet Joseph was freed from his prison. (duas.org)

FORGERIES OF THE ENEMIES OF IMAM AL-HUSAYN

In Zad al-Ma’ad, ‘Allamah al-Majlisi says that it is preferable not to observe fasting on the ninth and tenth of Muharram because the Umayyads used to observe fasting on these two days in order to express delight for and to gloat over the martyrdom of Imam al-Husayn (a.s.). Having seen a good omen in the killing of Imam al-Husayn (a.s.), the Umayyads and their fans fabricated many lies against the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and falsely ascribed to him that he mentioned many merits to be the reward of those who would observe fasting on these two days. On the other hand, the Holy Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) are reported to have warned against observing fasting on these two days in general and on the tenth of Muhammad, the Day of ‘Ashura’, in particular.

The Umayyads - may Allah curse them - used to store up their annual nutriment in their houses on the tenth of Muharram; accordingly, Imam al-Rida(a.s.) is reported to have said, “If one refrains from arranging for any worldly benefit on the tenth of Muharram, Almighty Allah will grant him all his needs for this world and the world to come. If one considers the tenth of Muharram to be the day of his misfortune, sadness, and weeping, Almighty Allah will make the Resurrection Day the day of his delight and happiness; and he will be delighted by us in Paradise. If one considers the tenth of Muharram to be a blessed day and he thus stores up any annual nutriment on that day, Almighty Allah will not bless that which he stored up and will add him to the gang of Yazid, ‘Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad, and ‘Umar ibn Sa’d - may Allah curse them all.”

In conclusion, it is required to suspend any worldly activity on this day and to devote oneself to weeping, mourning the martyrdom of Imam al-Husayn (a.s.), recalling his misfortunes, and ordering one’s family members to hold a consolation ceremony in the same way as one may hold for his dearest people. It is also required to abstain from eating and drinking up to the last hour of the day at which one may break the abstention with a drink of water at least, without intending ritual fasting, since to observe fasting on this day is discommended except in cases of obligatory fasting, such as vow fasting and the like. It is also required not to store up anything in the houses, not to laugh, not to entertain oneself, and not to play. It is recommended, on this day, to invoke Almighty Allah to lay curse on the slayers of Imam al-Husayn (a.s.) one thousand times by saying following statement:

The summary of the aforementioned worthy essay of ‘Allamah al-Majlisi is that the reports that are ascribed to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) concerning the merits of the tenth of Muharram, the Day of ‘Ashura’, are all in all fabricated. This topic has been discussed at length by the author of Shifa’ al-Sudur at explaining the famous Ziyarat ‘Ashura’ and, precisely, the statement that reads, “O Allah, verily, the descendants of Umayyah saw a good omen in this day... etc.”

The summary of the author’s explanation is as follows: The Umayyads used to regard this day as good omen and they thus used to do many things on it.

(1) They betook as custom on this day storing up the annual nutriment considering such to achieve happiness, good livelihood, and luxury up to the next year. In order to deny this bad habit, the Holy Imams (a.s.) warned against it in many narrations.

(2) They considered the tenth of Muharram a feast day on which they would commit to the manners of celebration, such as conferring upon the family members with whatever they need, procuring new clothes, having one’s mustache cut, trimming the nails, and shaking hands with each other as well as other norms.

(3) They and their fans have been observing fasting on the tenth of Muharram after they have fabricated numerous traditions entailing the significance of observing fasting on this day.

(4) They and their fans have declared that it is recommended to supplicate Almighty Allah on this day

Hadees e Rasool ( s.a.w.a )

Rayyan ibn Shabeeb relates that once when he visited the Prophet's 8th Infallible Successor, Imam Reza (A.S), on the advent of Muharram, the Imam said: "O Ibn Shabeeb! Muharram is the month in which the people of the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyya) had forbidden the committing of any oppression as well as armed conflicts. Yet, this ummah did not respect the sanctity of this month or the dignity of their own Prophet. In this month, they killed the Prophet’s offspring… God will never forgive them.

"O Ibn Shabeeb! If you wish to cry, then cry for Husain who was slaughtered like a sheep, and was killed along with the members of his household. Eighteen people were martyred along with him who had no equal on Earth. The seven heavens and the earths mourned in his martyrdom…

"O Ibn Shabeeb! If you cry for Hussein (A.S) in such a way that tears flow down your cheeks, then God will forgive all the sins that you have committed whether minor or major, whether they be a few instances or a lot…

"O Ibn Shabeeb! If you would like to meet the Honourable the Exalted God without having any sins then visit (the shrine of) Hussein (A.S).

"O Ibn Shabeeb! If you would like have the company of the Prophet in the halls of Paradise, then curse the murderers of Hussein (A.S).

"O Ibn Shabeeb! If you would like to be in the same high ranks in Paradise with us, then be sad when we are sad and be happy when we are happy."

امام حسین (ع) کے جسم کو پامال کیا

وایات بتاتی ہیں کہ جن گھوڑوں سے امام حسین (ع) کے جسم کو پامال کیا گیا وہ عرب کے مشہور گھوڑے "آواجیاع" کے طور پر جانے جاتے تھے۔

ان کی خصوصیات دیگر اسٹالینز ( ایک اعلیٰ نسل کے نر گھوڑے)سے بھی اعلیٰ تھیں۔

ایک محقق نے ان گھوڑوں پہ تحقیق کی تو اس کو ایک جرمن گھوڑوں کے ماہر کی کتاب "دنیا کے سب سے مضبوط اسٹالینز" ملی، جس میں لکھا تھاکہ: اسٹالینزکی ایک خاص نسل آواجیاع کے نام سے مشہور ہیں, اور ان کی خاصیت یہ ہے کہ ان کی ایک ٹاپ کا وزن 65 کلو گرام ہوتا ہے اور اس کا مقصد اس کے نیچے آنے والی چیز کوکچلنا اور پیسنا ہوتاہے"جب کہ ایک اور تحقیق کے مطابق اس کھوڑے کی ایک ٹاپ کا وزن 125 کلو گرام ہوتا ہے۔

پھر راوی نے کہا کہ مجھے یاد ہے کہ ابن سعد کی فوج کے ایک گھوڑ سوار نے بتایا کہ میں نے حسین کی پسلیوں کے چٹخنے اور ٹوٹنے کی آواز سنی کہ جس وقت وہ ہمارے گھوڑوں سے پامال کیے جارہے تھے۔

وہ لوگ جو ہم سے پوچھتے ہیں کہ ہم فاطمہ (ع) کے بیٹے کو کیوں روتے ہیں....؟؟؟

آ مسلمان تجھے بتاؤں ہم 1400 سال سے حسین (ع) کو کیوں رو رہے ہیں؟ ہماری آنکھیں خشک کیوں نہیں ہوتیں؟ ہماری آہیں تھمتیں کیوں نہیں؟ ہمارے چہرے دکھ کی تصویریں کیوں ہیں؟ ہم سیاہ پوش کیوں ہیں...؟؟؟

تاریخ بتاتی ہے کہ 10 گھوڑوں نے امام حسین (ع)کو کچلا۔ ہر گھوڑے کی 4*125کلو گرام کی ٹاپیں تھیں یعنی ہر گھوڑے کئ 500 کلو کی ٹاپیں اور اس طرح کے دس گھوڑوں کی ٹاپوں نے فاطمہ (ع) کے بیٹےکے جسد اطہر کو کچل دیا،یہ مسلمانوں نے رسول اللہ (ص) کے اس نواسے کے ساتھ کیا جس کو رسول اللہ (ص) کی بیٹی نے نازوں سے پالا تھا.

امام زین العابدین (ع) نے فرمایا کہ: "میرے بابا کا سینہ کچل کر ان کی پشت سے لگ گیا تھا۔

جب میں ان کو دفن کرنے آیا تو ان کے جسم کا ایک حصہ اٹھاتا تھا تو دوسرا حصہ گر جاتا تھا۔
