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

It is quite logical that those that deemed Yazid to be the rightful khalifa were the same individuals that killed Imam Hussain (as). We the Shi’a distance ourselves from Yazid and his supporters. So Ansar.Org, kindly tell us, do you? Do the Ahl’ul Sunnah and Nasibi express hatred towards those that supported Yazid and killed Imam Hussain (as)? Unfortunately this is not the case. Nasibi claiming to adhere to the Sunni faith have written, praised and defended Yazid as a pious man. We have Pakistani Hanafi scholar Mahmood Abadi who wrote "Khilafat Muawiya aur Yazid”- wherein he praised Yazid, deeming the method of ruling used by Umar and Yazid to be the same. Had the matter stopped there then no doubt that would be proof in itself, but what Ansar.Org are hiding from their followers is the fact that their Salaf Imams took ahadith from those that killed Imam Hussain (as). Proof of guilt lies with ‘association’ those with blood on their hands will have no shame / guilt in taking had

Unlike any other city, Karbala has its named engraved in the memory of generations, and in the expanse of the Muslim world. Believers remember that name with sorrow and distress, for they remember the history of the master of all martyrs, Imam Husain (a.s.) and his sacrifice for Islam.The wave of visit ors never stopped coming t o Karbala, from the time the Umayyad and Abbaside caliphsprevented the construction of the shrines to the t ime thebelievers were able to build t he precinct , despite the hardships and difficulties imposed on them. And today , since Karbala is wit nessing new calamities, and the mausoleums of Imam Husain (a.s.) and his companions are subjected to destruction and neglect,and visit ors are prevented from reaching that place, it is suitable to familiarise ourselves with Karbala. Two main roads lead the visitor to Karbala. One isfrom the Iraqi capital Baghdad, through 'Al-Mosail', and the other is from the holy city of Najaf. However, either one excites

Roza of Imam Husain in Karbala,Iraq The Tawabun have been the target of Nasibi edicts that they killed Imam Hussain [as] by failing to aid him [as] whilst we have evidenced that they were unable to help Imam Hussain [as] for various reasons, but the irony is that the same Nawasib over look the roles of Talha and Zubair whose cases are quite distinct from the other Madinan residents. In this regard: When the water supply was cut-off to Uthman’s residence, how many rebels did these two notable ones fight? [Talha was himself amongst those that prevented water from being delivered to Uthman]. Both of them were not present to aid Uthman at the time of his murder. They did not participate in the funeral prayer of Uthman. After Uthman’s murder, neither possessed the courage to avenge from his killing. Both of them happlily gave bayya to Ali bin Abi Talib [as]. They then adopted Taqiyah in the months that followed, and exhibited no inward or outward desire to seek retribution for the

 There is no doubt that the greatest allegation imposed on Kufan Shia is the fact they themselves acknowledge d their failure to come His [as] aid and sacrifice their lives for Him [as]. Whilst this was mainly on account of the difficulties that they were confronted with, that we have evidenced earlier; but still let us for arguments sake accept this allegation. Can this crime be compared to that performed by: he Sahaba that abandoned the Prophet [s] in battle? The Sahaba of Prophet [s] and friends of Uthman who left him alone in the capital and watched quietly as men frequenting from Egypt surrounded the confines of his residence? The annals of history testify to the fact that: When the Makkan Kuffar launched their assault, there were not even three men alongside the Holy Prophet during the battle of Uhud. Allah (swt) testifies to the Sahaba fleeing during the battle of Hunain, and history informs us that during this testing time only twelve men remained by the side of the Prophe

Imam Husain(a.s.) 's infant killed by an arrow in Karbala History lifts the lid and exposes the true killers of Imam Hussain (as). On route to Kufa Imam Hussain (as) met Al Farazdaq and asked him about the situation in Kufa, he assessed the matter saying; “The people’s hearts are with you but their swords are with the Banu Ummayya”. Tabari English translation Volume 19 pages 70-71) When the people had swords raised against Imam Hussain (as) there is then no basis to conclude that these individuals were Shi’a, rather they were Nasibi hiding in the midst of the people. As mentioned earlier Shia Aama may have switched sides in light of their assessing the situation at the time, but when it comes to locating those with the blood of Imam Hussain (as) on their hands then another group of the Shia of Uthman were proud that they had committed such a deed, a fact that Nawasib always suppress from their adherents. We have the example of Nafi bin Hilal who entered the battlefield of Ka

Let us  cite a summary of the events recorded by Ibn Kathir records in Al- Bidayah [Arabic], Volume 7 page 154 and Volume 8 page 1002 of Urdu version published by Nafees Academy Karachi: Upon returning to Makka he [Hussain] received letters from the people of Kufa, He sent Muslim bin Aqeel to go and assess the situation. Outwardly the people portrayed their support for Muslim bin Aqeel and in turn for Hussain – a thousand people gave bayya. Spies notified Nauman bin Basheer, he did not openly adopt tough measures, but in this regard gave a sermon warning people against sedition and urged the people to remain loyal in the bayya that been given to Yazid. One man stood up and said to Nauman ‘This matter cannot be curtailed without adopting force, the approach that you have adopted is like that of weak people”. …Yazid said to Ibn Ziyad ‘When in Kufa find Muslim bin Aqeel and then kill him. Ibn Ziyad arrived in Kufa with seventeen men, having assessed the situation he spoke to the nobles

Muslim ibn Aqeel Killed in Kufa The main objection that the hypocritical Nasibis have against the Sahabi Suleman bin Sard (ra) and those who repented along with him is that their repentance evidences their involvement in the murder of Imam Hussain (as) and the real murderers like Ibn Ziyad and Umar ibn Saad are innocent of this crime. These Nasibis quote Qazi Noorullah Shostari from his book 'Majalis Momineen': Nawasib quote: "(The Tawabun gathered and said) We are sorry for what we did and we want to repent, may Allah have mercy on us and forgive us, and those amongst this group that had gone to Karbala began to repent, Suleman bin Surd said that there is no other way for us but to raise swords in the same way that the Bani Israel killed each other. Like it is mentioned in Quran: ‘We did injustice on ourselves….’. After saying this, all the Shia came down on their knees in order to seek repentance.  There is no doubt that the Sahabi Suleiman ibn Surd was not involv

The Nasibi accusation that Ibn Ziyad was Shia al-Khasa and not a Shia of Muawiya It is interesting that some present day Nawasib claim that Ibn Ziyad was amongst the Shias of Imam Hussain [as] i.e. was Shia al-Khasa as a method to cover the sins of their ancestors. The unbiased readers of history should know that besides believing in the caliphate of Shaykhayn, he also believed in the caliphate of Uthman. He is a narrators of Sunni hadith literature, no Sunni scholar of Hadith has declared him Shia. Yazid in his views about Ibn Ziyad stated: O cup-bearer, make me such a drink that shall quench the thrust of each joint of my body. Then stand up and give a similar drink to Ibn Ziyad.Who is a pure friend, who is honest, who supports me, who is the investment of my life and my hand during a war. Murooj al-Dahab, Volume 1 page 377 The deviation of Ibn Ziyad from the path of Allah and his apostle was well known amongst the people of Kufa. That is why we read that when Muslim bin Aqe
