My heart bleeds for Karbala
My tears fall for Karbala
My soul yearns for Karbala

Words cannot describee..

Words cannot describe how I long to be invited to Karbala.


Words cannot describe how much i want to be near my Hazrat Abbas and my Mowla Hussain.


Words cannot describe how I long to walk in bain ul haramain.


Words cannot dwscribe how much I want to hear cries of Labbaik Ya Hussain.


Words cannot describe how much my eyes and my heart shed tears for Hussainthe Martyr of Martyrs


Words cannot describe how I await the day when I will be able to cry at the shrine of Abul Fadlil Abbas.


Words cannot describe the amount of pain they went through for us.


Actions cannot repay the amount they have sacrificed for us.

Karbala

Honour, Dignity & Freedom. Just three of the many things Imam Hussain (as) portrays through Karbala. Three of the many things that humanity learns from this tragedy. The tragedy that catches the attention of the Shia and the non-Shia; the Muslim and the non-Muslim; the old and the young; male and female. It is a story in which the truth lost the physical battle but it is the truth that lived on till today; 1400 years later. It is an event in which every action had a meaning and every meaning had a message. It is universal, it is an event which everyone can sympathize, empathize and feel pathos for. For it is a series of tragic events that will be commemorated till the Day of Judgement by the lovers of the Ahlul-Bayt; the Shia of Imam Ali.


It is an event that brings tears to my eyes when i write about it . It is a message that brings tears to everybody's eyes. It brings tears to the eyes of the listeners, the readers, the writers and the narrators.It is an event after which even enemies like Yazid ibn Mu'awiya could not sleep peacefully. An even which Imam Ali Zainul Abideen ibn Hussain (as) wept, wailed and mourned over for the 36 years he lived after the tragedy of Karbala.


I pray that I will one day be privileged to do the Ziyarat of Imam Hussain and the Shuhada of Karbala.


As-Salaamu Alayk Ya Aba Abdillalahil Hussain.

My Counter Argument.

It is bidat to mourn and lament because Hadrat Husain ‘radiAllahu anh’ was martyred on that day. It is sinful. Mourning on Ashura Day is a custom of the Shiis. They mourn for Hadrat Husain. Because he was Hadrat Ali’s son, they praise him adoringly. But we the Ahl as-sunnat love him very much because he was Rasulullah’s grandson. There is no mourning in Islam. Muslims do not mourn only on Ashura Day. But they always become sad whenever they remember the tragedy of Karbala. They grieve deeply. They weep bitterly. If there were mourning in Islam, we would have done it not on Ashura Day but on the day when Rasulullah’s blessed feet bled all over in Taif, or when his blessed tooth was broken and his blessed face bled at Uhud or when he passed away.

WTF?!
ok here is my counter argument..


1) We praise Imam Ali (a.s) is because Prophet Muhammad (saww) praised him himself. And he declared him his “Wali” Where were your hadith writers then?


2) By mourning the event of Karbala, we not only “weep bitterly” for our Prophet Muhammad (saww)’s grandson, but we weep because the Ummah that claimed to follow the Prophet (saww) turned their backs against his family after he passed away.


3) We also weep because to this day, the world did not understand our Mola.. calling the Battle of Karbala a “political battle.” 


4) “If there were mourning in Islam, we would have done it not on Ashura Day but on the day when Rasulullah’s blessed feet bled all over in Taif, or when his blessed tooth was broken and his blessed face bled at Uhud or when he passed away. ”

If there was mourning in Islam... you would’ve also attended the Prophet (saww)’s funeral or helped in the preparations instead of choosing your next caliph. 

GRRRR.

Muharram

Its a controversial time in history. Particularly between The Shia School of Thought and The Sunni School of Thought. I wanted to do a post explaining the tragedy that occured on 10th Muharram (and the events around it), but I felt i would not be able to do justice to the unjust, tragic events that fell upon the Ahlul Bayt (as).
