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

There is no evidence at all that Ibn az-Zubayr left any sectarian following behind him; the name of Al-Mukhtar was kept alive for a very short time and was followed by a small group, but it soon afterwards lost its identity and was merged in a wider group.[494] The reason is both obvious and vital. Neither Al-Mukhtar, nor Ibn az-Zubayr, nor their supporters had any specific ideal or any particular view which could keep their memory alive in the annals of religious thought in Islam. Husayn and his cause, on the other hand, though militarily a complete failure, were so conspicuously upheld by a sizable part of the Muslim community that his name became an emblem of the identity or entity of the second largest group in Islam. This was due to the fact that his movement was based on a particular view of the leadership of the community, which has been elaborated in the first two chapters above and which has also been pointed out in the letters written by I;1asan to Mu'awiya and by Hus

ЖИТИЕ ИМАМА ХУСЕЙНА

कर्बला की कहानी मनुष्य की संवेदना को झकझोर देती है। सत्य के पथिक पर जालिमों ने जो कहर ढाया उसकी याद हर मुहर्रम दे जाता है और आंखें आसुओं से नम हो जाती हैं। तपते रेगिस्तान में जालिमों ने सत्य के पथिकों को दो बूंद पानी भी नहीं पीने दिया, यहां तक कि छह माह के बच्चे पर भी जुल्म ढाया। फिर भी सत्य के पथिक इमाम हुसैन इस्लामी कानून के खिलाफ नहीं गए, जालिमों के मंसूबों के आगे झुके नहीं और सत्य पर अडिग रहे। इंसानियत के इतिहास में जुल्मी यजीद का यह कारनामा एक काला अध्याय माना जाता है। लगभग चौदह सौ वर्ष पहले हजरत मुहम्मद साहब के नवासे हजरत ईमाम हुसैन जो मदीने में रह रहे थे उनको माबिया के बेटे यजीद ने अपने मदीना के गर्वनर वलीद को खत के द्वारा आदेश दिया कि ईमाम हुसैन से यजीद के नाम पर बैयत (हाथ पर हाथ देना अथवा धार्मिक अगुआ कबूल करना) ले लें। यजीद जबरदस्ती मुसलमानों का खलीफा बन गया था और अपनी दौलत व फौज की ताकत के आधार पर आम आवाम को पैसा देकर, डरा कर व दबाव बना कर बैयत ले रहा था। अर्थात सबसे मनवा रहा था कि यजीद तमाम मुस्लमानों का खलीफा है और मुस्लमानों के नबी हजरत मुहम्मद साहब का उत्तराधिकारी

We do not punish ourselves in any shape or form when we mourn and commemorate the Martyrdom of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him). This is an incorrect interpretation of the essence of al-Sha’aer al-Hussainiyah (The mourning rituals of Imam Hussain peace be upon him). When we practice the mourning rituals of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) such as beating the chest (known as, al-Latm or Seeneh-Zani) or wounding the top of the head with a sword (known as, al-Tatbir, Qameh-Zani or Teegh-Zani), we try to recognise and feel some of the pain our master Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) had felt. We were in fact recommended by the pure Infallibles to practice such rituals, as they ordered us to perform ‘Muwasat’ for Imam Hussain (peace be upon him), which means imitating and sharing some of his pain. Similarly, we find that Allah the Most Exalted has made the Muwasat for Lady Hajar (peace be upon her) among the rituals of Hajj and Umra; as all Muslims are ordered to perform
