Hussain’s refusal to Yazid’s allegiance protected honor of the religion of Mohammad; Muslims must adopt Hussaini path to get rid of humiliation – Hamid Moosavi

Sacrifice of Imam Hussain (PBUH) enlightened the path of revolution and freedom; Oppressed nations are still full of Hussaini enthusiasm of sacrifice; peace could not be restored to any part of the world unless the rights of the oppressed are honored – Message of the Quaid e Millat Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi on Ashura Day 

RAWALPINDI, December 6: The Quaid e Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi has said that Imam Hussain (PBUH) rooted out Yazidiyyat and unveiled the real faces of tyranny and Malookiyyat so as to tell the world that death is always better than life in humiliation and shame and every colonial power could be defeated point blank and get the Muslim Nation rid of humiliation and defame by adopting the Hussaini way of life. This was stated by him in a special message issued on the occasion of Youm-e-Ashoor.  

Agha Moosavi said that the Muslim nation has adopted the Islamic culture and heritage that considers the word ‘Martyr’ and its meanings and understanding greater than other sayings. ‘Martyr’ is a holy and pious word that is why he does not need to be given bath or the coffin. Because by presenting his life for the Kalma-e-Haq he has given the witness of Allah’s oneness. The body of the ‘Martyr’ is pious and on this basis one who kisses Martyrdom is buried laced with earth and blood he had gone through. ‘Martyr’ is that enlightened word that is surrounded by the holy lights. The blood of ‘Martyrs’ never goes waste. The blood of ‘Martyr’ is never sucked by earth rather every blood-drop of him takes the shape of a river as ‘the drops are converted into a river’ and penetrates in the soul and body of the society giving it an eternal life. That is why it is said that the death of the ‘Martyr’ is the life of the nation. 

The TNFJ chief said there is a saying of Imam Hussain (PBUH) that Allah talked about Amar Bil Ma’aroof and Nahi Anil Munkir as first of the obligations because He knows that if these two obligations are fulfilled and settled then all other obligations would be carried out whether they are difficult or easy. These two are the ones that invite people towards Islam and gives rights to deserving ones and make them agree to oppose the oppressors. At another place, he said, Oh people! It is a saying of the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) that one who sees any oppressor king that he has made the Haram-e-Khuda as Halal, has broken the Paiman-e-Illahi, opposes teachings of the Holy Prophet, commits oppression and sin among men of Allah and even then he does not oppose the same through his deeds or utterances, Allah would definitely put that person in wrath in place of that oppressor king. Then at another place, he said, are you not watching that righteous is not being practiced and evil is not being kept away. In this situation, a faithful has the right to be fond of Laqa-e-Illahi (meeting with Allah).  

On this basis Hussain (PBUH) had stated: I consider death a blessing and life with the oppressors as painful. Oh, Allah! You Know my stand is neither for a government nor for seeking wealth but I desire to present the matters of Your religion and to bring reforms in Your cities, want to restore law and order for Your oppressed people and desire that duties of Sunnah and commandments are implemented. In this Hadees, the Imam (PBUH) made it clear on the world that religious matters were being violated, there is arson and riot in cities instead of reforms, and the oppressed and have-nots are confronted with problems and difficulties. The same thing was stated another place in these words: My outing is not for self-praise, stubbornness, riot or oppression. I have come out to reform the Nation of my grandfather. I desire that Amar Bil Ma’aroof and Nahi Anil Munkir are followed and I desire to follow the pious charachter of my grandfather Muhammad (PBUH & HHP) and my father Ali Waliullah (PBUH).  

Therefore, the TNFJ chief said, when Muawiya Bin Abu Sufyan was at the verge of his death, he sent for Yazid and said, I have made many difficult persons agree to be sincere with you but still opposition from three sides is expected and from amongst these three, the most important personality is that of Hussain Ibne Ali Ibne Abi Talib (PBUH). His matter is most critical as he will not accept your allegiance at all, he is most honourable and if he is does not become ready by other means then sword is the last option. Yazid, following the will of his father, wrote a letter to the Governor of Madina for seeking his allegiance after the death of Muawiya Bin Abu Sufyan but Hussain (PBUH) bluntly refused the same saying a person like me cannot go in the allegiance of a person like Yazid.

Agha Moosavi said when Hussain Ibne Ali (PBUH) after presenting the sacrifice of his companions and die-hard supporters came before the oppressor nation in the plain of Karbala, he introduced himself to them the last words of which were: “Oh the oppressors! Fear from the wrath of God, it will be the strongest wrath, the time is near when the flames of wrath of Allah will surround you.” But that untidy nation did not take his advice seriously and the Imam (PBUH) returned saying and said, then be ready now. I have done all this to fulfill my responsibility (the Hujjat). Now see how the grandson of the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP), thirsty of Karbala, nephew of Jafar-e-Tayyar (PBUH), and the son of Haider-e-Karrar (PBUH) will fight with you. Then he took out the Zulfiqar-e-Haideri (the sword of Imam Ali) and attacked the low-character nation reciting the lion-hearted Rajz about which the English historian writes: I have neither seen from my eyes nor heard from my ears that a person whose relatives, young offspring are slaughtered in front of his eyes, is thirsty for three days, every part of his body is injured could have fought so bravely like Hussain Ibne Ali (PBUH). His lonely attack shattered the enemy’s army that every soldier of theirs was coming down on the other soldiers with fear. Wherever Hussain (PBUH) turned, the enemy forces were running like the tiddy-dal gets upset in the blowing air. 

The TNFJ chief said, the third attack of Imam Hussain (PBUH) was so severe that the Yazidi forces entered the gate of Kufa while withdrawing. A large number of them were trampled under the horses. The voice of Al-Amaan, Al-Amaan was coming from all around. When the Imam (PBUH) saw this situation, he stopped his Zuljinah, stayed at a place and threw his eyes around. At the same time an unseen voice echoed in the earth and in the sky. Hussain (PBUH) till how long you will fight. The time of fulfilling your promise has come. Hussain (PBUH) put back his sword after listening to that voice and started waiting for ‘Martyrdom’ in his desire of meeting with Almighty Allah (Laqa-e-Illahi). The Yazidi forces thought that perhaps Hussain (PBUH) got tired and they started attack after attack rapidly with swords, spears and arrows. Thousands of blood-thirsty people surrounded one oppressed, hungry and thirsty, his clothes were soaking with blood and he was becoming unconscious, his tongue had become dry with thirst.

Agha Moosavi said, the Imam (PBUH) again raised his voice for help in this helpless condition. Soon after his voice, it was like a D-day in Mala-e-Aala. Gabriel (Ameen) requested to Almighty Allah that I cannot see my beloved Hussain (PBUH) in this condition, it was this Hussain (PBUH) for whom I used to take fruits of the heaven, used to push his cot, I cannot see Hussain (PBUH) in this state of helplessness. Allah, give me permission. A voice came from the Hejab-e-Qudrat that if My Hussain (PBUH) accepts your help, you must do. Gabriel (Ameen) reached Karbala with Allah’s permission and shaded the head of the Imam (PBUH) with his wings. The Imam (PBUH) felt coolness owing to this shadow so he asked Oh, the creature giving me the shadow who are you who have thought of helping me in this state of helplessness. The voice replied that I am your servant Gabriel. Give me permission so that I may wipe out all your enemies. The Imam (PBUH) gave the same reply that Ibrahim had given when he was being thrown in the fire of Nimrah that I don’t accept as I am fond of Laqa-e-Illahi. Get aside, Gabriel. This is the hour of trial. In short, he tied his Amamah and other Taburrakaat with the Zuljinah’s saddle and said, Oh, the faithful horse when your rider (who is also the rider of the shoulder of the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP)) comes down from the saddle, it would be your responsibility to deliver these Taburrakaat to the ladies of the household of the Holy Prophet (PBUT). It is very difficult to state that how this untidy nation rained him with spears and arrows from all around to the extent that he could not remain on his faithful horse. He came down to earth and kissed ‘Martyrdom’.  

The TNFJ chief said that Imam Hussain (PBUH) made it clear to the world that I have lit the candle of sacrifice so as to create enthusiasm in the hearts of the people that could enlighten the society and turn it into enlightened people and put the soul and life in every person of it with a renewed vigor and provide the fresh blood to its body. That is why today the whole oppressed world in imbibed with the ‘Martyrdom’ of the Imam (PBUH) and his pious and faithful companions in east, west, north and south. Hundreds of years have gone by but the oppressed nations are imbibed with the spirit and enthusiasm even today. 

The Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi said that the colonial powers are utilizing all their tactics to bring in their own agenda but the spirit of ‘Martyrdom’ inculcated in them by Hussain (PBUH) could not be cooled down by the international chief of colonial powers and their agents. Whereas the oppressed people of Afghanistan, Iraq, Tunis, Egypt, Bahrain, and Libya are protesting for their rights, the Mujahideen in Kashmir and Palestine are ahead of them all in this exercise. More than a half century has passed for the struggle of annexation of Al-Quds Al-Sharif and independence of Palestine and Kashmir, prisons had been filled, incidents of murder and arson were made the order of the day, their lives have been made difficult but still the oppressed are not ready to surrender and are declaring upon the satanic world that peace could not be restored to any part of the world unless the rights of the oppressed are honored and are resolved in the light of the United Nations resolutions and to the desire of the oppressed. Imam Hussain (PBUH) rooted out Yazidiyyat and unveiled the real faces of tyranny and Malookiyyat so as to tell the world that death is always better than life in humiliation and shame. Today the Muslim Nation desires to get rid of humiliation and defame then we would have to adopt the Hussaini way of life as every colonial powers could be defeated point blank by following that path.
