Arbaeen-e-Hussaini (Chehlum Syed-us-Shuhada Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.)

SPECIAL MESSAGE

Quaid-i-Millat Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi

Observing the days of Anbia, Mursaleen, Khasan-e-Illahi is actually expressing love and devotion with them and considering them an example in good deeds. That is why love and devotion with these holy personalities keeps the Asaasi status. Moreover, remembering these holy personalities keeps the human being on way to progress and creates such feelings in him that makes him succeed here and the Hereafter by following these Illahi personalities. In Quran, it is mentioned at many places there is a commandment to talk about Anbia, Mursaleen and Swaleheen, therefore Allah Says, “And talk about Ibrahim in Kitaab Allah that he was a true Nabi” (Surah Maryam). Another Ayah says, “And talk about our men Ibrahim, Ishaq and Yaqoob who were the men of power and wisdom” (Surah Suaz Ayah 45). Keep remembering the Swaleheen is the human greatness and the honour and dignity of religious values and keeps away from oppression, suppression, brutality and revival of invitation Tauheed, Nabuwwat and Wilayat because Anbia, Mursaleen and Bandgan-e-Illahi had been the protectors of Illahi values and spokesmen of religion and Shariat. Arbaeen-e-Hussaini reminds us of greatest sacrifice for the survival and dignity of humanity and supremacy of the religion and Shariat presented in the hot plains of Karbala and remind us of the courage and bravery of the Shuhada-e-Karbala.

This is a greatest day of the honour and dignity of Shaheedan-e-Rah-e-Khuda and support to the oppressed and have-nots for delivering and protecting human rights and giving respect to those who struggled to defend the truth. The Sarfroshan-e-Karbala through their sacrifice and the Khanwada-e-Ismat on the iffat and taharat Ayah-e-Tatheer stands witness, laid the foundation of movement of independence and freedom by disseminating the cause of Karbala’s objective in every street of Kufa and Shaam and in the courts of Yazid and Ibne Ziad that is now followed in east, west, south and north, by the freedom-loving people of Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq rather they will continue confronting the tyrant ruler and Yazid of every era unless the flag of justice and fair-play flutters all over the universe and oppression and brutality die an eternal death.

Only those who follow in the footsteps of Hussainiyyat could make Yazidiyyat die forever. The lesson of keeping the Arbaeen-e-Hussaini was preached by great personalities of Hazrat Zainab (S.A.) and Hazrat Zainul Abideen (A.S.). Hazrat Zainab Binte Ali (S.A.) is the Sherdil women of Karbala who was brought up in the lap of Maktab-e-Murtazvi and Fatimi. Her khutbaat shattered the courts of Yazidiyyat and overthrown oppression and brutality. Her path is the path of mankind’s path to good luck and blessing. Hazrat Zainab Kubra (S.A.) is that great Mujahida of the Karbala incident who bore all problems and difficulties but did not complain. Millions of Salam-e-Aqeedat on this respectable woman. If Hussain (A.S.) is sitting in the heart of every nation today and could not be forgotten, the credit of it goes to Hazrat Zainab (S.A.) and Hazrat Zainul Abideen (A.S.).

Till the time we will continue our struggle for righteousness and against the evil, Imam Hussain’s (A.S.) sacrifice will continue to provide source of satisfaction to the Sahiban-e-Haq because the Imam Aali Muqaam (A.S.) kissed Shahadat to keep the justice and fair-play alive and for the survival of humanity. That is why righteousness, truth and justice could be forgotten. Therefore, the thinking of Nawasa-e-Rasool Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) and his near and dear ones will remain alive forever.

Arbaeen-e-Hussaini reminds us of that gory incident when the looted caravan of the Ahle Bait Athaar (A.S.) reached Karbala on Safar 20 after remained gaoled in Shaam in the leadership of Hazrat Zainab (S.A.) and Hazrat Zainul Abideen (A.S.). Sahabi-e-Rasool Hazrat Jabir Bin Abdullah Ansari (who enjoys to be the first Mujavir and Zair of Qabr-e-Hussain) was also present there. Soon after the arrival of Aseeran-e-Karbala, the echoes of cries raised and the Mukhaderaat-e-Ismat cried profusely that women from the nearby villages come out there. Zainab (S.A.) and Kulsoom (S.A.) raised the slogans of ‘Wa Muhammadah, Wa Wajidah’ and stated the Masaib Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S) telling how the oppressors martyred the Ahl-e-Bait (A.S.), what type of oppressive activities were performed, the grieved echoes of Zainab (S.A.) made the earth and skies weep.

Jabir (R.A.) reached near Hussain’s (A.S.) grave and went unconscious when he kept his hand on the grave, he became conscious when water was sprinkled on his face, and said ‘Ya Hussain (A.S.)’ three times when came into senses then raising the voice of ‘Ya Hussain (A.S.) said, “I witness that he is the son of Afzal-e-Anbia, son of Sardar of the Momineen, belongs to the Khanwada-e-Hidayat and Taqwah, the son of fifth personality of the Kisa, Syeda and Sardar of womankind Fatima Zehra (A.S.). Syed-ul-Mursaleen (SAAW) had fed him and he was brought up in the lap of Muttaqeen, he had taken the Sheer-e-Fatima, and led a pious life and gone from this world pious and purified and left the Ahl-e-Iman grieved. Allah’s Salam on him. He adopted the same path on which his brother Yahya Bi Zikria kissed Shahadat”. Then he looked all around and said, “Salam on those souls that came down near Hussain and are in peace and I witness that he restored Nimaz and paid Zakat, ordered to do good and stopped from doing the evil and carried out jehad with Mulhideen and atheists and worshiped God till Shahadat.”

Then he stated, “By God Who sent the Rasool (SAAW) with righteousness, we are also included in that in which you Shuhada have entered.” Attiya Ufi who was included in the Ashab-e-Ali says that I asked Jabir that they have kissed Shahadat, we have done nothing on which Jabir replied: “Oh, Attiya, I have heard from my Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW) as he has stated that everyone would be treated on the D-Day with that nation that he likes, a person who likes the deeds of any nation, he is included in the deeds of that nation.” Azadari is the voice of Zainab (S.A.) and Zainul Abideen (A.S.) and the echoes of Kalma-e-Tauheed coming from east, west, north and south are the result of Azadari and Hussaini Majalis and processions. That is why the world of oppression and brutality, like every era, is trying to silence the Sada-e-Matam so as to keep the devotees of Nabi (SAAW), Ali (A.S.) and pious Sahaba Kubaar could be stopped from paying the Ajr-e-Risalat. Azadari-e-Imam Hussain (A.S.) open the paths of confronting oppression and brutality with courage and bravery and it preaches the lesson of valuable spirit of sacrifice. Al-Quds Al-Sharif could be achieved, Kashmir and Palestine could be get freed, allied forces could be driven out from Iraq and Afghanistan and honour and dignity of motherland Pakistan achieved in the name of Islam could be accelerated by benefiting from the Sha’air-e-Hussaini.

Nawasa-e-Rasool Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) presented his life and that of his 72 die-hard near and dear ones in the hot plains of Karbala for the protection of Illahi values, dignity of the mankind and protection of religion and Shariat. This sacrifice not only put religion and Shariat on their height but also made humanity most effective till the Day of Judgement. The greatest Shahadat of Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) wrote a new golden chapter in the world history and attracted the world of humanity through his sacrifices, patience, firmness and ability to bear. The greatest war that began in Karbala became the source of leading light for all movements for independence and freedom. The history of Hussaini sacrifices preach us many lessons and one of which is that confronting oppression, suppression, and brutality and giving priority to death in honour over life in disguise is better. Through his activity, the Shariat-e-Muhammadi, Afkaar-e-Haideri, Ismat-e-Fatima and the blessings of Khasan-e-Illahi continue to be talked about unabated.

The Shahadat-e-Uzma of Hussain Ibne Ali (A.S.) blessed religion and the Shariat with brightness, preached the way of rooting out monster-like attitudes and declared Bandagi a good life. Karbala is the source of all independence and freedom movements and the whole universe is imbibed of that even today. On the occasion of Arbaeen-e-Hussaini we pay our condolences in Bargah-e-Rasool (SAAW), Ali (A.S.) and Batool (S.A.) and reiterate our resolve to continue our struggle for the mission of Hussaniyyat till we are alive. May Allah wake us up with the Azadaran and mourners on the Day of Judgement. As a poet say:

Wassalam
