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

let us see how staunch a follower he was,we find in musnad ahmad “nafi’i says that when people broke the oath of yazeed bin mawia; ibn umar collected his family and sons; recited two testimonies; and then said: we made oath to this man in the name of allah and his prophet asws; and i heard holy prophet asws saying that for every cheat there will be a flag on the day of qayamat; and it will be said that this is the cheating of that man; and the greatest cheating after shirk is that one does oath in name of allah and his prophet asws and then break it; so none of you should break the oath of yazeed and should not look into caliphate; otherwise there will be no relation between me and him” Reference : [musnad ahmad, urdu, vol 3, page 157-158] Sheikh shoaib says isnaad sahih on condition of sheikhain [9/104-105/5088]

I was just wondering about this question that Why Yazeed (l.a) is not respected by many Sunnis and they do not like him. The only answer i got is that the predecessors of Yazeed (L.a) were smart enough to work with hypocracy and Munafiqat. They were enemies of Ahl ul bait (a.s) but they kept limit of their enmity and kept on working on their agendas secretly. Abu Bakar and Umer usurped Fadak and also made a hadith to justify this oppression. They usurped Khilafah from Ahl ul bait (a.s) and caused pain and agony to Hazrat Fatima a.s but still they managed to avoid full fledge war against Ahl ul Bait a.s therefore, in spite of their being wrong Sunnis to some extent justify their rule and respect them as their true caliph. When we come to Muawvia (l.a), he is also accepted as caliph by some of the Sunnis and they try to conceal his evil deeds and praise him because though he fought battle against Ali a.s but he did not personally caused damage to Ahlul bait

امام حسین (ع) کی عزاداری میں خود رسول اللہ (ص) نے گریہ فرمایا ہے اور غم حسین (ع) میں رونا سنت رسول (ص) ہے ، امام حسین (ع) کی ولادت کے وقت اور مختلف اوقات میں فرشتے امام حسین (ع) کی شہادت کی خبر لاتے تھے اور خاک کربلا کو رسول اللہ (ص) کی خدمت میں پیش کرتے تھے جیسا کہ مندرجہ ذیل صحیح روایات سے ثابت ہے   حدیث نمبر: ا     ام ُُ المومنین عائشہ یا ام المومنین ام سلمہ (رہ) سے روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ (ص) نے فرمایا کہ آج ہمارے گھر میں فرشتہ آیا ہے جو آج سے پہلے کبھی نہیں آیا .فرشتے نے مجھے بتایا کہ یارسول اللہ (ص) آپ کا یہ بیٹا حسین (ع) قتل کیا جائے گا ،اگر آپ (ص) چاہے تو میں اس زمین کی کچھ مٹی آپ (ص) کو دے سکتا ہوں جہاں پر حسین (ع) قتل ہونگے.پھر رسول خدا(ص) نے فرمایا : فرشتے میرے لئے مٹی لایا جو کہ لال رنگ کی تھی محقق کتاب فضائل صحابہ ، کہتا ہے کہ اس روایت کی سند صحیح ہے محقق کتاب فضائل صحابہ ڈاکڑ وصی اللہ بن محمد عباس کی تحقیق مزید مندرجہ بالا روایت کے حاشیہ میں محقق کہتا ہے کہ اس روایت کی تخریج مسند احمد میں بھی ہے ، ہیثمی نے مجمع الزوائد میں اس کو نقل کیا ہے ا

Again, a rather simple answer - Shias are in mourning, crying is the natural response. People try to claim that somehow crying is wrong and un-Islamic but it has been encouraged by the Holy Prophet and is mentioned clearly in the Holy Quran. "And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognise the truth: they pray: "Our Lord! we believe; write us down among the witnesses." ( Quran, Surah 5, Verse 83 ) Shia Women Mourning during Muharrum   Surah Yusuf (no. 12) goes on to describe what happened to Prophet Yacub when he discovered that Prophet Yusuf had gone missing. "And he turned away from them, and said: "How great is my grief for Joseph!" And his eyes became white with sorrow, and he fell into silent melancholy." ( Quran, Surah 12, Verse 29 ) Prophet Yacub cried so much his eyes went "white with sorrow." During the time of the Holy

In 2007, Peace TV owner Dr. Zakir Naik sparked controversy when speaking in his annual Peace Conference. He claimed that the tragedy of Karbala was merely a "political war," a "difference of opinion" and went on to call Yazid Radiallah ta'la anho (may Allah be pleased with him)! He was rightly condemned by Shia and Sunnis alike. Zakir Naik - a well wisher of Yazid   Firstly, Yazid was never a legitimate rule of the Islamic kingdom. He was appointed as successor to his father Muawiya ibn Abu Sufyan after his death - totally going against the treaty that Muawiya has struck with Imam Hasan (as). After his death, the caliphate was meant to return to Imam Hasan and Imam Husain (as). If he wanted to, Imam Husain (as) was perfectly entitled to stand up against Yazid. Secondly, Imam Husain (as) did not lead a revolt against Yazid. He never set out to fight against Yazid's army. When he was faced with Hur and his small battalion as the

Before the events of Karbala, Imam Husain (as) was living in Medina. He was facing increasing pressure to give allegiance to Yazid ibn Muawiya. Fearing violence in the holy city of Medina, Imam Husain (as) was looking for a way out of the city. The people of Kufa wrote several letters to the Imam inviting him to come and live amongst them, to lead as their Imam. Imam Husain (as) sent his cousin Muslim ibn Aqeel to visit Kufa and see for himself how genuine the support was for the Imam. Upon his arrival, Muslim was greeted by thousands of well-wishers confirming their allegiance to Imam Husain (as), begging for his arrival. Yazid sent the cursed Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad to replace the sitting governor after Umar ibn Saad (leader of Yazid ibn Muawiya's army at Karbala) wrote to him, making him aware of the situation: "Muslim bin Aqeel has come to Kufa and the Shia have given the oath of allegiance to him on behalf of al Hussain bin Ali. If you have any need of Kufah th

Nasibi Azam Tariq's lies continue as follows: Azam Tariq stated: THE FACT IS THAT WHEN THE NEWS OF HAZRAT HUSAYN'S MARTYRDOM REACHED YAZID, HE AND HIS FAMILY WEPT. YAZID EVEN SAID: "CURSE OF ALLAH BE ON UBAIDULLAH BIN ZIAD. BY ALLAH! IF HE HAD BEEN A RELATIVE OF HAZRAT HUSAYN HE WOULD HAVE NEVER KILLED HIM. I WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED THE SUBMISSION OF IRAQIS WITHOUT THE KILLING OF HAZRAT HUSAYN." THEN HE ACCORDED A VERY GRACIOUS HOSPITALITY TO THE REMAINING FAMILY MEMBERS OF HAZRAT HUSAYN AND ARRANGED THEIR RETURN JOURNEY TO MADINAH WITH GREAT HONOUR AND RESPECT.   Reply One The cited report about Yazeed getting upset over the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (as) is primarily in Tarikh Tabari contain an unknown arrator in its chain. We challenge Nawasib to either prove the authenticity of the narration or shut up and accept that Yazeed was the lead culprit in the murder of Imam Hussain (as). Reply Two Tariq's reference that we presume is a crude translation o

Azam Tariq Nasibi stated: "IT WOULD BE SEEN THERE FROM THAT YAZID HAD NO HANDS IN THE MURDER OF HAZRAT HUSAYN. MOST OF THE HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN BY SHIAS AND AS SUCH HEAP ALL SORTS OF RUBBISH ON YAZID OUT OF SHEER CONTEMPT AND HATRED AND DEPICT HIM IN ALARMING COLOUR WHICH IS FAR FROM TRUTH AND REALITY. STILL SOME OF THE IGNORANT MUSLIMS ACCUSE HIM UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SHIAS. THE FACT IS THAT WHEN THE NEWS OF HAZRAT HUSAYN'S MARTYRDOM REACHED YAZID, HE AND HIS FAMILY WEPT. YAZID EVEN SAID: "CURSE OF ALLAH BE ON UBAIDULLAH BIN ZIAD. BY ALLAH! IF HE HAD BEEN A RELATIVE OF HAZRAT HUSAYN HE WOULD HAVE NEVER KILLED HIM. I WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED THE SUBMISSION OF IRAQIS WITHOUT THE KILLING OF HAZRAT HUSAYN." Here we shall cite the following reputable texts of Ahl'ul Sunnah, that confirm that Yazeed killed Imam Husayn (as): Maqatil Husayn al Khuwarzmi Volume 2 page 80 Chapter 9 Ya Nabi al Mawadah page 223 Chapter 91 Tareekh al Yaqoobi Volume 2

इस्लामी कैलेंडर यानी हिजरी वर्ष का पहला महीना है मोहर्रम। इसे इस्लामी इतिहास की सबसे दुखद घटना के लिए भी याद किया जाता है। इसी महीने में 61 हिजरी में यजीद नाम के एक आतताई ने इमाम हुसैन अलैयहिस्सलाम और उनके 72 अनुयाइयों का कत्ल कर दिया था। सिर्फ इसलिए क्योंकि इमाम हुसैन अलैयहिस्सलाम ने यजीद को खलीफा मानने से इनकार कर दिया था। इनकार इसलिए किया था, क्योंकि उनकी नजर में यजीद के लिए इस्लामी मूल्यों की कोई कीमत नहीं थी, जबकि यजीद चाहता था कि वह खलीफा है, इसकी पुष्टि इमाम हुसैन अलैयहिस्सलाम करें। क्योंकि वह हजरत मोहम्मद साहब के नवासे हैं और उनका वहां के लोगों पर काफी अच्छा प्रभाव है। यजीद की बात मानने से इनकार करने के साथ ही उन्होंने यह भी फैसला लिया कि अब वह अपने नाना हजरत मोहम्मद साहब की कर्मभूमि मदीना छोड़ देंगे, ताकि वहां का अम्नो-अमान कायम रहे। और निकल पड़े इराक स्थित कुफानगरी के लिए। वहां के लोगों ने उन्हें अपने यहां आने का पैगाम भेजा था। लेकिन कुफानगरी के रास्ते में करबला के पास यजीद की फौज ने उनके काफिले को घेर लिया। उनके पास खाना-पानी तक नहीं पहुंचने दिया। इस काफ

सन्60 हिजरी क़मरी में मुआविया के मरने के बाद उसका बेटा यज़ीद शाम के सिहासन पर बैठा और उसने स्वयं को पैग़म्बर का उत्तराधिकारी घोषित किया। सत्ता पाने के बाद उसने इस्लामी मान्याताओं को बदलने और क़ुरआन के आदेशों का विरोध करने के साथ साथ मानवता विरोधी कार्य करने भी शुरू कर दिये। इमाम हुसैन ने जब यज़ीद को इस्लाम विरोधी कार्य करते देखा तो सन् (61) हिजरी में यज़ीद के विरूद्ध क़ियाम (क़ियाम अर्थात किसी के विरूद्ध संघर्ष करना) किया। हज़रत इमाम हुसैन अलैहिस्सलाम ने अपने क़ियाम के उद्देश्यों को आपने प्रवचनो में इस प्रकार स्पष्ट किया कि---- 1— . जब शासकीय यातनाओं से तंग आकर हज़रत इमाम हुसैन अलैहिस्सलाम मदीना छोड़ने पर मजबूर हो गये तो उन्होने अपने क़ियाम के उद्देश्यों को इस प्रकार स्पष्ट किया। “ मैं अपने व्यक्तित्व को चमकाने या सुखमयी जीवन यापन करने या उपद्रव फैलाने के लिए क़ियाम नहीं कर रहा हूँ। बल्कि मैं केवल अपने नाना (पैगम्बरे इस्लाम) की उम्मत (इस्लामी समाज) में सुधार हेतु जा रहा हूँ तथा मेरा निश्चय मनुष्यों को अच्छाईयों की और बुलाना व बुराईयों से रोकना

If you talk to the Sunnis, they ask certain questions about our mourning of Hussein(AS).They ask the following things: Q.1. Why do we only mourn Hussein(AS) when we believe the other Aimmah(AS) were martyred also? Q.2. Would Hussein(AS) really want us to punish ourselves for him? Q.3. Why is mourning Hussein(AS) more important then mourning Rasul-Allah(SAW)? Answers : In His Name the Most High, Answer 1. We do not only mourn and commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him), but we also mourn and commemorate the memory of all the other Infallibles (peace be upon them) and hold mourning programmes on their martyrdom anniversaries. However, the reason why we may put greater emphasis on the mourning and weeping for Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) is because our pure Infallibles (peace be upon them) themselves strongly encouraged us to do so. According to the traditions of the pure Imams (peace be upon them), the tragedy of Karbala is the most tragic event of Islam and

The general public of Muslims say that the Shia of Iraq killed Imam Hussain and that's why they do not stop crying and beating themselves   Question : The general public of the Moslem world say that we the Shia, especially the ones in Iraq, killed our Imam, Imam Al Hussain peace be upon him and now that we regret it, we never stop crying and beating ourselves for failing to support him or maybe for our crime of murdering him and his family and companions.   Answer : In His Name the Most High, This is really a silly idea that is widely circulating in the hearts and minds of many people especially with the so called Ahlul- Sunna Wal Jammaa in the middle east and elsewhere. Ok! If we want to use the same naïve basis of forming decisions and perceptions that they use, we can say that you people of Mecca, Hejaz and Arabian Peninsula fought against the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) and then killed his uncle Hamza (peace be upon him), but they will say it was not us, it
