Karbobala ko Zinda o Tabinda rakh Apnay Andar

Muhuram is the first Month of Islamic Year. Muhurram is month of respect,mourning and Remembering the Great sacrifice of Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S) for the Islam.Muhurram and Hazrat Imam Hussain(A.S) are related to each other.This holy month reminds us of the battle which was fought in Karbobala for victory of Islam and defeat of evil.Imam (A.S) and his family were martyred after being severe torture which include the disconnection of water for Ahl e Bait(A.S).After when the men of ahlay Bait(A.S) and Imam(A.S) followers were martyred ,the women of Ahl e Bait(A.S) were taken to Yazid's Malun Palace with out viels.This was the toughest time when women of the family of Allah's last Prophet was tortured just because Imam(A.S) refused to bow in front of Yazid's Malun un Islamic Government.

The Karbobala Battle has many aspects of learning.This battle is really dynamic that each aspect associated with it gives you any lesson ,any wisdom.You just need to read and explore it then you will see numerous incidents of sacrifice,love,the principled life,the quest for justice and courage of Ahl e Bait(A.S).

Karbobala first tells us about Sacrifice.It just shows how a mother like Hazrat Zainab (S.A) decorates her youngest sons to fight the battle and present their sacrifice for the future of Islam and to help Mola Imam(A.S).It shows how an uncle Like Hazrat Abbas Alamdar(A.S) got his arms and neck cut by enemies of Islam while bringing water for her little Sakina (S.A).It shows us the highest desire of martyrdom by 6 months old Hazrat Ali Asghar(A.S) who dropped himself from his tiny bed while he heard that his great father Hazrat Imam Hussain(A.S) got alone to fight the big lashkar of enemies.It shows the sorrow when the youngest groom Shahzada Hazrat Qasim(S.A) got martyred.It represents the Sacrifice of a father like Hussain(A.S) who gave permission to his very beloved son Hazrat Ali Akbar(A.S) to fight the Yazeed Malun Army.Remember that Hazrat Ali Akbar (A.S) was having same facial features of Prophet Mohummad(PBUH).His gate and his voice all resembled to Last Messenger of Allah Hazrat Mohummad(PBUH).It was difficult to sacrifice a son like him but Mola Hussain(A.S) presented this great sacrifice.Oh the Karbobala has lots of lessons and learning telling one the reality of Life and Akhirah.

Karbobala tells us about the bravery.The bravery to stand against evil and sacrifice anything for justice and to save the future of Islam.Imam Hussain(A.S) knew that he and Ahl e Bait(A.S) and all his followers will be martyred by Yazeed's Malun Army,but he still fought to set the biggest ever example of bravery and courage.He wanted to let the world know that this world's life is temporary the real and eternal life lasts after death.He conveyed the message to the world till eternity that Islam's existence and Prophet Mohummad(PBUH)'s teachings were being protected.He declared that no matter how weak you are,no matter how less you are in number still you can win the battle by the power of being on righteous way.

Karbobala battle's importance and the teachings of Kabobala can't loss its colors till day of the judgement. In the history of the world where ever there is some Yazeed Malun, the courage and bravery of Hussain(A.S) will be remembered and practiced.

Hazrat Imam Hussain(A.S)'s teachings and the Karbobala battle should not be limited to Shias only.Hussain(A.S) is for all.Mola Hussain(A.S) will live where ever a neutral mind will think to fight the evil and find the courage to reveal the truth.I Suggest every person on this world weather Muslim or non Muslim ,weather Shia or Sunni that find the Philosophy of Hussain(A.S). You will find the oceans of wisdom that you will even find hard to control.Sect differences and proving each other wrong lies no where in front of great incident of Karbobala. Karbobala will say itself.It will prove itself by its own.You just need to explore it.

At last its my request to all Muslims that kindly promote harmony instead of differences and laiding eachother down in Muhurram.If you are Hussain(A.S) followers then be by actions.Actions speaks louder then Words.Let the people say that if Hussain(A.S)'s follower is that sensible,courageous and calm then what will be the boundaries of wisdom of his master.

For my Muslim sisters ,I would like to request that kindly do not decorate yourself in Majalis.As you will be answerable to Hazrat e Fatima Zahra(S.A) upon his son's mourning.

At last sharing my two lines of Poem with you.May Allah Give Us the courage and "Tofeeq" to act upon teachings of Hazrat Imam Hussain(A.S).Aameen
