years pass from Prophet (Pbuh)’s immigration and now Imam Hossain
(Pbuh) who has been trained by Prophet (Pbuh) to carry Imamate flag of
Ibrahim and Mohammad (Pbuh)’s mission. So,he can lead human up to
the light gates. Army of light and the call of right and rightness are in oneside and army of dark and the call of darkness and foulness are in another side. Sun of Ashoora is looking to this bloody battle and red war. It’s Ashoora noon, and Karbala desert is terribly hot. The sun is crying on the bodies, which have fallen on the earth, and on the corpses without shroud, and on the bodies without head and hand. Yes, all the followers of Imam Hossain (Pbuh) accepted martyrdom and found comfort on the bloody bed of self-sacrifice and martyrdom in order to awake all the neglectful men of the history. Yes, it is the beginning of the first day of Moharram, bloody and the epic month, one year passes from Mohammad (Pbuh)’s immigration. An immigration, which made firm the weak bases of Islam in Medina and encouraged the fresh hearts of the Muslims. This immigration was a new birth in Islam history.He immigrated in order to teach the movement and rising lesson to the Muslims and future generations. He selected immigration in order to say: “O’ man you have a mission, you are trustee of God, you have a great responsibility. You must be prepared,choose your fortress and do your duty. You must do your mission and you have to prove your slavery that you are God’s slave.” Moharram is the immigration month and Ashoora is the manifestation of immigrants’ immigration. We must learn the immigration lesson from God’s immigrants and walk on their way and go toward Allah. TASOO’A
& ASHOOR’A AS AN EXAMPLE OF MARTYRDOM In these mourning ceremonies held to commemorate Imam Hosain’s memory, the one who had sacrificed his life for God’s sake and achieving his satisfaction, along for the sake of his friends and children had purified the young men who leave for the war battles, seeking for martyrdom. They are proud of Martyrdom and if they cannot achieve it they will get disappointed. It had also purified the mothers so that when they lose their children in war, they will say we have another ones at home. IMAM HOSSIEN’S FUNCTION IN UNIFICATION OF THE NATION All of the lecturers (and also we) should bear in mind that if there were no Ashoora’ movement, today we would not be the winner. This unity which served as the origin of our victory, is because of these mourning ceremonies and those which held for promulgation of Islam. The lord of the oppressed, paved the ground for the nation in order to supply them with convenience and there would be the ease of unity, for this gathered people. HAZRAT-E ZEYNAB’S FUNCTION ON DESPISING BANI OMAYYEH What is one’s special duty in Moharram? How about the scholars and the great lecturers? What should the other social classes do? The Lord of the martyrs (Imam Hosain), his followers and his progeny had determined this duty and provide us with the right way: To sacrifice in the battles and promulgation in the society. Hazrat-e Imam Hosain’s sacrifice considered by God as precious as the lectures of Hazrat-e Sajjad (Pbuh) and Hazrat-e Zeynab (SA) .They taught us , that the women and men should not be afraid of the tyrannical regime . Hazrat Zeynab (SA) made a stand against Yazid, and she despised him to the degree that no one had experienced such a thing before. Her lectures in Kuffa, Syria along with that of Imam Sajjad (Pbuh) clarified this point. The problem is not about the battle between good and evil. The tyrannical regime wanted to introduce Imam Hosain (Pbuh) as the one who had risen against the ruling government directed by the Caliph who is appointed as the Holy Prophet’s substitution. These facts were revealed to audience by Hazrat-e Sajjad (Pbuh) and Hazrat-e Zeynab (SA). |
