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

"Allamah Alusi stated, Yazeed the impure denied the Prophethood of Rasulullah (s). The treatment that he meted out to the people of Makka, Medina and the family of the Prophet proves that he was a kaafir". Once in the gathering of Amir ul Momineen Hazrat Umar Bin Abdul Aziz [R.A] people talked about yazeed, someone among the people said ( Amir Ul Momineen to Yazeed ) Hazrat Umar Bin Abdul Aziz [R.A] replied in anger,'' you call Yazeed ( Bad Character Person ) as Amir ul Momineen?. Than Hazrat Umar Bin Abdul Aziz [R.A] gave order of 20 lashes to the person who called Yazeed Amir ul Momineen  [ Tahdheeb Al' Tahdheeb Vol 1 Page 361] Dear Readers,please tell how many lashes should be awarded to Zakir Naik for Praising Yazeed(may Allah cursed him)??

Would you say , may Allah be pleased with him.!!!!

Ibn Kathir himself writes in al Bidayah Volume 8 page 1169 "Dhikr Yazeed bin Muawiyah": "Traditions inform us that Yazeed loved worldly vices, would drink, listen to music, kept the company of boys with no facial hair [civil expression for paedophilia with boys, a form of homosexuality], played drums, kept dogs [civil expression for bestiality], making frogs, bears and monkeys fight. Every morning he used be intoxicated and use to bind monkey with the saddle of a horse and make the horse run". REFERENCE:AL BIDAYAH WAL NIHAYAH, VOL 8 PAGE  1169 Ibn Atheer's comments on Yazeed   In Tareekh al Kamil Volume 3 page 450 Ibn Atheer narrates from Munzir bin Zabeer: "Verily Yazeed rewarded me with 100,000 dirhams but this cannot stop me from highlighting his state, By Allah he is a drunkard". Ibn Jauzi's comments on Yazeed 'the drunkard' Ibn Jauzi in Wafa al-Wafa: "Yazeed appointed his cousin Uthman bin Muhammad bin Abu Sufyan as Gover

Another great Mufassir and author of great books, a scholar accepted by all Sunni Muslims i.e. Qadhi Thana Ullah Panipati ( rah) quoted Quranic ayah 14:28 and writes: Quran states: Hast thou not seen those who gave the grace of Allah in exchange for thanklessness and led their people down to the Abode of Loss (14:28) Tafsir: Bani Ummaiya had always rejoiced upon Kufr, however Abu Sufyan, Ameer Mu’awiya (RA) and Umaro bin Aas(RA) and others became Muslims. Later Yazid and his companions rejected the blessings of Allah and rose the flag of enmity towards Ahlul Bayt and finally brutally martyred Imam Hussain (RA) to the extent that Yazid even denied the Deen of Muhammad (salallaho alaihi wasalam). He after martyrdom of Imam Hussain(RA) said: Had my predecessors lived they would have seen how I took revenge from the family of Prophet (saw) and Bani Hashim, The couplet which Yazid made had this in the end: I will avenge Ahmed (i.e. Prophet Salallaho alaihi wasalam) for whatever he did w

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'.  [Siyar al A'lam wa al Nubalah, Volume 004, Page No. 037,Publish al-Resalah, Beirut, Lebanoon ] SCANNED PAGE  Yazid was a confirmed Wine drinker

It has been noticed that some people in their indirect or even direct hatred for Ahlul Bayt (Family of Prophet - Peace be upon him) try to cover the acts of Yazid and in this process they try to paint him into a great personality. With the Grace of Allah we shall see how this traitor to Islam (i.e. Yazid) got Imam Hussain (Radhi Allahu Anhu) martyred and how he ransacked Madina al-Munawwara and committed heinous crimes therein Firstly we would like to present this beautiful sahih hadith of Prophet (Salallaho alaihi wasalam) regarding people who “Ransack” our beloved sanctuary called Madina al Munawara. Imam Ahmed narrates this report from Sa’ib bin Khalad (RA) that the Prophet of Allah (Peace be upon him) said: Whosoever spreads injustice and frightened the people of Madina, then Curse (Lanah) of Allah, his Angels and all the people is upon such a person.  [Musnad Ahmed bin Hanbal as narrated by Imam Ibn Kathir in Al Bidayah Wal Nihayah Vol 8 Page No. 274] Quran states: Those who

  Yazid was deviated and  Islam was saved by Imam Husain(a.s)

Yazid, according to Ibn Hajar Asqalani was not eligible to narrate a tradition of Holy Prophet(s.a.w). Reference : http://referencelibarary.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=88118314

Imam Hazm bin Zahiri writes about the crimes committed by Yazid(may Allah punished him in Hell forever): 1.He was responsibly for mass killing of  many companions of Holy Prophet in the event of Harrah in Medina. 2.He killed Imam Husain(a.s) and his Ahle Bayt. 3. He was responsible for the attack on Holy Kaaba. 4. He ill treated Zubair in Mecca. All these facts are proven from history, still you believe Yazid was a 'nice' person!!!!

 Deobandis Wahabis -Aur  Zakir Naik jaise log Yazeed ko Ameer ul Momineen Maante hai !!! Aye Yazeed ke Haamiyon - Niche diye hua Reference ko dekh lo. Sirf Shia hi nahi Ahle Sunnat Hazraat bhi Yazid ko Kafir Jaante Hai. Tum Kaun se Musalmaan ho jo Yazid ko Ameer ul Momineen Kehte Ho !! Lanat ho tum per aur Tumhare Aaba o Ajdaad Yazeed per. Supporters of Yazid, see the reference given below , even according to book of Ahle Sunnat Yazid was Kafir, adulterous, wine drunker. etc,etc.

Objection : It was Hazrat Hamzah (ra) who was 'Syed ush Shuhdah' but later on Shias attributed this title to Imam Husayn We would like to reply that till his period Hazrat Hamzah was exalted martyr among other martyrs that is because he was 'Syed ush Shuhdah' till that time but Imam Husayn touched the highest stage of martyrdom which entitled him to be called 'Syed ush Shuhdah'. And its not only Shias but a vast majority of Ahle Sunnah ulema also call him 'Syed ush Shuhdah'. For example Maulana Ahktar Shah of Merath (India) has called him as 'Syed ush Shuhdah' (see Tasdeeq e Shahadat, page 94), Maulana Shah Muhammad Suleman Phulwari in his 'Risala Shahadat Husayn o Risala Gham e Husayn' has written Imam Husayn as 'Syed ush Shuhdah', Maulana Muhammad Mubeen in his esteemed book 'Wasilat ul Nijaat ' (published in Lucknow) has written Imam Husayn as 'Syed ush Shuhdah' at many places. Moreover Imam of Ahle Sunnah and

Imam Hassan didn't give bayah to Mu'awyia rather he entered into a treaty with him. Authentic Sunni sources like Tareekh Abul Fida, Volume 1 page 182, Tareekh Khulfa page 130, Tareekh Kamil, Volume 3 page 190 and Tareekh Tabari, Volume 6 page 92 etc mention about the treaty and there is no mention of Bayah as one of the terms of the agreement. Moreover the most authentic Sunni work Saheeh Bukharee contains details of the treaty of Imam Hassan wherein there is no mention of bayah. Sahih Bukhari Volume 3, Book 49, Number 867: Narrated Al-Hasan Al-Basri: By Allah, Al-Hasan bin Ali led large battalions like mountains against Muawiya. Amr bin Al-As said (to Muawiya), "I surely see battalions which will not turn back before killing their opponents." Muawiya who was really the best of the two men said to him, "O 'Amr! If these killed those and those killed these, who would be left with me for the jobs of the public, who would be left with me for their women, w

یزید خلیفہ ابوبکر عمر عثمان سے افضل تھا یزید سنیوں کا وہ واحد خلیفہ ہے جس کا انتخاب پہلی بار امت کے عام استصواب سے ہوا - بغض یزید سے دور رہیں ورنہ بغض یزید کی وجہ سے جہنم میں جانا پڑے گا    

Let us take a look at the two routes being adopted to reach the religion. Sharra fiqa akbarby mulla ali qariis the hanafi book of aqaid. On the very first page it is stated that the book sets out the aqeedah of ahl'ul sunna wa al jammah. Everything set out in this book is the aqeedah of hanafi sunni muslim.Mulla ali qari sets out who the 12 khalifas are: 1) abu bakar 2) umar 3) usman 4) ali 5) mu'awiya (l) 6) yazeed bin mu'awiya (l) 7) abdul malik bin marwan 8) walid bin abdul malik bin marwan 9) sulayman bin abdul malik bin marwan 10) umar bin abdul aziz 11) yazeeb bin abdul malik bin marwan 12) hasham bin abdul malik bin marwan   Reference: Sharra fiqa akbar, by mulla ali qari, p176(publishers muhmmad saeed and son's, qur'an muhalla) you might have noticed yazeed (the accursed - maloon) on 6th number. This was one route, now lets have a look at the other path - the path of ahlul bait-e-muhammad 1) imam ali bin abi talib 2) imam hassan bin ali

امام حسین ( ع ) کا قتل کر نے والے وہی لوگ تھے جو یزید ( لا ) کی خلافت کو جائز تسلیم کرتے تھے۔ ہم شیعان ِعلی اپنے آپ ک یزید ( لا ) اور اُس کے ناصبی پیروکاروں سے دور رکھتے ہیں ۔ اب سپاہ صحابہ اور دیگر ناصبی تنظیمیں اور ویب سائٹس ہمیں پوری ایمانداری سے بتائیں کہ کیا وہ بھی ایسا کرتے ہیں ؟ اور کیا یہ لوگ ان سب لوگوں سے نفرت کا اظہار کرتے ہیں جنہوں نے نواسہ ِ رسول ( ص ) امام حسین ( ع ) کو قتل کیا ؟ بدقسمتی سے ایسا بالکل نہیں ہے ۔ ناصبی حضرات جو اپنے آپ کو سُنی کہتے ہیں یزید ( لا ) کے دفاع اور اسکی ثنا میں لکھ کر اُسے ایک نیک انسان ظاہر کر نے کی کوششیں کی ہیں ۔ مثلأ ہمارے پاس پاکستانی حنفی اسکالر کی کتاب "خلافت ِمعاویہ و یزید" موجود ہے جس میں مصنف نے اپنے خلیفہ دوم عمر بن خطاب اور یزید کے طریقہ ِ خلافت کو یکساں تسلیم کرتے ہوئے یزید کی تعریف کی ہے۔ اگر بات یہیں رک گئی ہوتی تو ناصبی اپنے آپ کو یزید ( لا ) سے مبرہ قرار دینے کی ناکام کوششیں کر سکتے تھے لیکن سپاہ صحابہ جیسے نواصب اپنے پیروکاروں سے جو تلخ حقیقت چھپا دیا کرتے ہیں وہ یہ ہے کہ ان کے س

As for the stupid claim that the Shia killed Imam Husain (AS), I would like to first ask you what is the definition of Shia. If Shia means all those who claim to love Ahlul-Bayt, then I can tell you that ALL Muslims, with no exception from the time of the Prophet till today are Shia! Even the Wahhabis are Shia by your definition. Shia means "followers", and as such those who forsake their leader can not be considered his followers by any stretch of imagination. The true followers (Shia) of Ahlul-Bayt have always been in minority. The Shia of Imam Husain were those who stayed with him in Karbala (beside those who did not have ability to join him due to justifiable reasons. Examples include, but are not limited to: Ibn Abbas and Jabir Ibn Abdullah al-Ansari who were both blind at that time.) Those who fought Imam Husain comprise those you claim to be Tabi'een (disciples of companions) whom you believe you should follow! Those who fought Imam Husain were NEVER the follow

 Dear Brothers in Islam,  If your father (may Allah grant him long life if he is still alive) dies, what will be your reaction to his death? If you loved him a lot, you or other members of your family will cry for him. crying is a sign of missing a highly dear one for a person who has human heart. Now, suppose he has been killed on the path of Allah with some noble ideas to implement. What will be your reaction to his martyrdom? Do you pass from it as in the case of a simple death? Or you raise your voice and try to keep his noble ideas alive by REMINDING people of his actions and thoughts and give them a LESSON on his bravery and sacrifices, and asking people to join his path and to KEEP ALIVE his noble thoughts? [ One side remark here is that, just imagine that you and your brothers and sisters mourn for your father who has been martyred, and meanwhile some body jumps and accuses you of killing your father because you are mourning for him and based on his logic mourning is a si

Doubt : The tenth day of Muharram is ‘Aashura’. The Jews of Madinah fasted on this day, the day on which Prophet Moses (a.s.) and his followers crossed the Red Sea miraculously. So the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) directed the Muslims to fast on the day of Aashura. Reply: The report is inaccurate. The real report is: The Prophet (s.a.w.a) on migrating to Madinah found the Jews fasting on the 10th of Muharram. On enquiry, he was told: It is an auspicious day; it is the day when Allah delivered the children of Israel from their enemy (i.e. Pharaoh); and, therefore, Moses fasted on that day. The Prophet (s.a.w.a) said, ‘I am worthier of Moses than you.’ Thereupon, he fasted on that day and ordered (the Muslims) to fast. Saheeh-e-Bukhaari vol. 3 Egypt ed.pg 54, Mishkaat al-Masaabih Delhi ed. 1,307 A.H. pg l72 It is noted by the commentator of Mishkaat al-Masaabih that ‘it was in the second year, because in the first year the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had arrived in Madinah after Aashura, in R

Doubt: Lamentations, breast-beating and mourning in memory of Husain’s martyrdom are not sanctioned by Islam. Though such martyrdoms are tragic, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) has forbidden holding mourning ceremonies on the death of any person. People of Jaahiliyyah (ignorance) used to mourn over their deceased then the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) stopped the Muslims. Shia Muslims mourning Martydom of Imam Husain(a.s) Reply: Azaadaari (mourning) is a means to express sorrow for the hardships suffered by the Ahle Bait (a.s.) at the hands of the caliphs of their time. The words of Imam of Ahle Sunnah Allamah Fakhrudeen Raazi are notable: ‘It is our firm belief that one who dies with love for the descendants of Muhammad (s) dies a martyr.’ (Tafseer-e-Kabir, vol 7, pg 390) We read in Al-Bidaayah wa al-Nihaayah of Ibne Kasir in vol. 4, pg. 45, Beirut ed. It is narrated by Abu Hurariah that the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) used to visit the graves of martyrs every year. When he (s.a.w.a.) woul

His father’s name was Muawiyah and that of his grandfather ” Abu Sufyan. His grandmother was Hinda ” the one who ate the liver of Hazrat Hamzah (a.s.), the Prophet’s (s.a.w.a.) uncle, after the battle of Ohad. She was notorious throughout Mecca as being a woman of loose character. She had a string of lovers and paramours. Abu Sufyan’s cousin Musaafir b. Amr who was famous among the Quraish for his good looks, generosity and skill as a poet, became Hinda’s lover. Even after marrying Abu Sufyan, Hinda did not severe her amorous and illicit relationship with Musaafir. And so Musaafir is one of the four people considered to have possibly fathered Muawiyah. Sharho Nahjil Balaghah by Ibne Abil Hadid, vol. 1, pg. 30 One Eye man,Mufti of Mecca defending Maloon Yazeed Yazid’s mother’s was Maisoon b. Bakhdal Kalbi, a Christian. She was extremely beautiful due to which Muawiyah became inclined towards her. However when she conceived Yazid, Muawiyah abandoned her. Hence, Yazid was born in her

Many Muslims have adopted a diplomatic and face-saving stand on cursing Yazid. At least where killing of the Prophet’s son (according to the Verse of Mubaahelah) Imam Husain (a.s.) is concerned, they advance a range of excuses exonerating Yazid of the crime. In a last-ditch attempt they claim that the matter is not very clear and assuming silence (as opposed to cursing) is a more prudent. While these excuses are untenable and the subject matter of another article, the door on cursing Yazid will never shut as Imam Husain’s (a.s.) murder was not his only crime. As we have seen in this article, Harrah was another stigma on Yazid that cannot be washed away with the biggest ocean of excuses. Because even if these Muslims belittle Imam Husain’s (a.s.) status by considering his killing to be insignificant, do they dare to make the same concession regarding the violation of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.), his shrine, his city, his companions and other members of his nation? Opinion of Sunni

A group of Muslims seek to exonerate Yazid b. Muawiyah of all his crimes. As a matter of fact, these Muslims do not even acknowledge the crimes and for the most evident crime of killing the son of Allah’s Prophet ” Imam Husain b. Ali (a.s.), they are quick to gloss over it with the most weird claims including the ridiculous one of Shias themselves having killed Imam Husain (a.s.)! Grand Mufti of Mecca defended Yazid(l.a) in one of his speech To such Muslims, it is fitting to point out that not every crime perpetrated by Yazid is easy to sweep under the carpet. Although no crime can parallel the killing of Imam Husain (a.s.), Yazid is responsible for many crimes that are evident even to the most biased historian and no one doubts even for a moment that Yazid is the perpetrator of these crimes. If the most biased historian was to ignore Imam Husain’s (a.s.) killing under one pretext or another, there is no way for him to ignore Yazid’s other crimes. The incident of Harrah is one such
