1. Imam Hussein went to Mecca and stayed there for four months. He visited different groups and wrote a lot of letters to Kufa, Basra, and to individuals. He went on a pilgrimage to Kaba and he visited the tombs of diseased predecessors; he went to the Aboutalib Cemetery and visited the graves of his great grandfather, Aboutaleb (A.S), and his great grandmother, Khadijeh (SA). He said his prayers right there.
When he learnt about the plots of his enemies, who were trying to kill him, he decided to leave Mecca as a sign of his respect to Kaba. This is the most beautiful respect one could have for the House of God. Imam Hussein did not want to do what Abdullah bin Zubayr did; he took refuge in Kaba, and doing this, he actually disrespected the holy place.
Hussein bin Ali (A.S) treated Abdullah bin Zubayr respectfully and told the people, “Ibn Zubayr wants me to take refuge in the holy shrine, but I would rather be far from the House of God in the time of death. I would rather die next to the Euphrates, than in Kaba.”
It is also said that Abdullah bin Zubayr told Imam Hussein (A.S) to stay in Mecca and to take refuge in Kaba. Imam Hussein answered, “This is not a right thing to do. I do not think that I should do that. I would rather get killed in the desert than in Mecca.”
With all the respect Imam Hussein accorded to Kaba, he left it, tears in his eyes.
2. Imam Hussein says that his goals are to revive the traditions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and those of Imam Ali (AS), and to invite people to what is good and to prohibit them from what is bad.
3. Imam Hussein (A.S) sacrificed his life and his family’s in order to show the people the real meaning of life and death. He proved that he had faith in the Hereafter, and that there was a better life after martyrdom; a life without the misdeeds of the oppressors, where a true servant will meet his God.
4. Imam Hussein (A.S) started a battle that is still going on and it could lead to the abolishment of injustice and oppression all over the world, if God wills. His movement consisted of selflessness and sacrifice. The path of martyrdom, which means to sacrifice one’s life for the greater ideals, does not require any especial tools or skills. Imam Hussein opened this path for all the people in all times; and anyone who is a devotee of Imam Hussein can traverse this path. This is the secret of our strength and the enemy’s weakness; they need tools and skilled men to fight against us, but all we need is our faith

5. Why Imam Hussain pbuh is not forgotten?
The one whose martyrdom, grief, pain, sorrows and children"s captivity were all only for God will never fade out of the memories. Instead, by the pace of time and age his love, fascination, and charm will grow in the hearts of people. And each year the love and fascination of the people with respect to that "pure and chaste revolutionary" increases. Imaam Hussain (A.S.) spent 57 years of his prolific life for the sake of God"s love and God"s search. Many times he traveled, to the God"s house for pilgrimage, on foot. He was very fond of prayers confessions and supplication talking intimately. So far so, that on the last night of his life, he asked for respite only that he might sit all alone and make confessions and supplications, to his God.
One of his companions said about Arafat prayers and supplications of Imam Hussain (A.S.). On the 10th day of the month of Zil Hijj Imam Hussain (A.S.) stood in the burning and scorching desert of Arafat facing Holy Ka’bah and prayed with painful and aching heart,
Oh God! I turn my face towards you (focus my attention) and give evidence about your being God. O God! You created me and continuously remained along with me and provided me with sustenance and livelihood with several kinds of blessings and bounties. Praise is for the God; nothing can change whose desire and stop His munificence and generosity.
Oh God adjudge and fix in my soul the independence and freedom from desires and faith and confidence in my heart, and sincerity in my practice and light in my vision and awareness in my religion.
6. Who is Holy Ali Asghar?
He was the infant of Imam Husayn(the third Shia Imam)and Holy Rubab.
In the event of Karbala when Imam Husayn saw his companions and friends were martyred and nobody is ther.
He decided to enter the battle and said:
Is there anybody to defend the family of God`s prophet?
Is there any worshiper of God to fear of the Lord?
Is there anyone to help us for God?
Imam Husayn went next to the tent."please give me my infant. I want to tell him goodbye too" He said his sister;Zainab.
Zainab s.a gave him the baby. Ali Asghar was thirsty and hungry.
Imam Husayn was a man of great love and compassion.
He wanted to kiss the baby that suddenly he was shot by an arrow.
One of the enemies shot an arrow that pierced his throat.
He took his hands under his throat. He filled his hands with his blood and threw it to the sky.
No drops of his blood fell down on the ground.
The first Friday of Muharram
In more than 3500 places around the world and Iran,
Mothers mourn for the martyr infant (Ali Asghar ) of Karbala ,
along with their infants.
This ceremony is called the global day of Ali Asghar.
Daesh militants who are the enemies of Imam Husayn
have killed Muslims ,including women and children.
7. Ashura in year 2015 is on Saturday, the 24th of Oct..
The day of Ashura is the 10th day of Muharram which is the first month of Islamic calender.
Ashura is always on the same day in the Islamic calendar but it is not in the Georgian calender because of the difference between these two calenders.
Ashura marks the day in which prophet Muhammad’s grandson, Imam Husayn, and all 72 of his companions were violently martyred more than 14 centuries ago in Karbala. They all sacrifice what they have to save Islam from utter distortion and destruction. Thus every year on the day of Ashura, millions of mourners commemorate their martyrdom anniversary to memorize what Imam Husayn (PBUH) taught us: He taught us all how to stand up and resist oppression, monarchy, Shimrs, Yazids and Ibn Ziads of the the present time, the current age.

book : Tears for Karbala
نویسنده : liakat dewji
The evil seeds which lead to the tragedy of Karbala’ were planted years before by Muawiya"s cunning,
who ruled over Muslims for twenty years.
Muawiya was an evil ruler. He was the son of Abu Sufyan and Hinda who, both, were the arch enemies of the Holy Prophet. Muawiya and his father became Muslims when they were left no alternative but to accept Islam.
When Hazrat ‘Ali became Khalifa, he dismissed Muawiya and other Governors for corruption and anti-Islamic behaviour.
Soon after the death of Hazrat ‘Ali, Muawiya, using methods of bribery and treachery, succeeded in becoming the Khalifa.
Muawiya was not interested in Islam. He only used slam for his power and glory. He broke the laws of Islam. When any saying of the Holy Prophet did not suit him, he ordered it to be struck off all records. He made up ahadith to favour him and his policies.
Muawiya hated Hazrat ‘Ali and his family. Under his Rule, Sh"ias were put to death or thrown into prisons just because they were followers of Hazrat ‘Ali and his family. Muawiya died in 60 A.H.
Before his death, he appointed Yazid, his son, as the next Khalifa. Yazid was even worse than his father. He was an evil ruler and openly mocked Islam. He was often drunk and sang songs which made jokes of Salaat, the Holy Prophet and his family.
The difference between Yazid and his father Muawiya, was that Muawiya used Islam for his personal glory while Yazid was determined to destroy Islam.
As soon as Yazid became Khalifa, he wrote to his Governor in Medina to ask Imam Husayn to do the impossible. He was asking the Imam to accept him as the Khalifa of Islam.
Imam Husayn could not even consider accepting such an evil man, Yazid, who openly broke the laws of Islam and was determined to destroy Islam, as the Khalifa.
It was not a matter of pride or Husayn"s right to Khilafat. Accepting Yazid as a Khalifa would mean Imam approved of his way of life and this would have meant a definite end to Islam.
How can a grandson of the Holy Prophet, son of ‘Ali and Fatimah, allow that to happen?
It was Imam"s duty to defend and save Islam. He refused to accept Yazid as a Khalifa of Islam. Yazid was full of anger and planned to have the Imam killed in Medina.
By staying in Medina, Imam would have the advantage of having all his own relatives as well as the people of Medina fighting on his side.
After consultations with his family and companions, he decided to leave Medina and move to the Holy City of Mecca.
Why did he leave Medina when he had "home advantage"?
This is because he did not want to put his friends in Medina in the danger of being killed. Secondly, although Yazid may be defeated, history would look upon the battle in Medina between Yazid and Husayn as a battle for Khilafat. Even if Yazid were to be killed, the injustice, oppression and un-Islamic way of life which Muawiya and Yazid promoted would not die.
Imam Husayn"s promise and mission was to destroy the way of life that these two evil men had started, to destroy Islam. By staying in Medina and fighting with Yazid he would have not achieved this. This is why he decided to leave Medina.
On 28th Rajab 60 A.H., Imam Husayn’s caravan left Medina with his family, his sisters, Bibi Zainab and Bibi Kulthoom, his brother ‘Abbas, a few other relatives and a number of faithful companions.
On 4th Shabaan, Husayn"s caravan reached Mecca. Imam had not yet made up his mind on where to go from here. For the time being he decided to stay in Mecca at least until the month of Dhul-Hajj and to perform the duty of Hajj.
To keep the sanctity and grace of the Holy Ka’aba, the bloodshed of any human life had been prohibited by the Holy Prophet. But did Yazid care about the Holy Prophet"s sayings?
While in Mecca, Imam Husayn received many letters and messages from the people of Kufa persuading him to go to Kufa.
Imam decided to send Hazrat Muslim Ibn Aqeel, his cousin, to Kufa to study the situation there and report to Imam.
As Hazrat Muslim was preparing for the journey, Imam Husayn went to him and said:
“Muslim, the whole world knows that you are one of the bravest warriors. It is just possible that seeing you in Kufa, some people may think that our intention is to fight Yazid. Take your two sons, Mohamed and Ibrahim with you. When they see you with your young children, they will know that our intentions are peaceful”.
Hazrat Muslim and his two young sons left Mecca. They arrived in Kufa towards the end of Dhul-Qaad. They were received well by the people of Kufa. Thousands of people appeared before Hazrat Muslim.
They pledged their allegiance to Imam Husayn as their Imam. They wanted him to teach them the contents of the Holy Qur’an and true sayings and traditions of the Holy Prophet.
People of Kufa had long suffered under Muawiya and they feared even greater suffering under Yazid. They knew that the greed for power and glory of these two men was slowly destroying the true Islam.
Hazrat Muslim reported back to Imam Husayn that most of the people in Kufa wanted him as their Imam to guide them and also advised him to come to Kufa.
Yazid had spies in Kufa. He heard from them, about invitation to Imam Husayn and the arrival of Hazrat Muslim in Kufa.
Being an evil man, Yazid was full of anger, and he replaced the Governor of Kufa with one of his own men - Ibn Ziyad. Ibn Ziyad was told to arrest Muslim and kill him and do all that was necessary to suppress the Shi"as in Kufa.
Ibn Ziyad was a cruel and unjust man. As soon as he arrived in Kufa, he threatened the people of Kufa with death punishment if they were found to engage in any activity against Yazid. He ordered them to surrender Hazrat Muslim to him.
On 8th Dhul-Hajj, soldiers of Ibn Ziyad arrested Hazrat Muslim.
He was chained and dragged to the Court of Ibn Ziyad. He then ordered Hazrat Muslim to be taken to the roof of the palace to be killed, and his body thrown to the ground.
Hazrat Muslim was dragged up the steps. He was killed and his body was thrown to the ground.
Hazrat Muslim"s head was cut off and hung on the City gate to remind and scare the people of Kufa.
Hazrat Muslim"s two sons, Muhammad and Ibrahim, were also arrested and killed mercilessly.
In the meantime, Imam Husayn and his companions in Mecca were preparing to perform the duty of Hajj when his friends in Mecca informed him that Yazid"s men were planning to have him and his followers murdered during the Hajj.
Imam Husayn did not wish the House of Allah to be turned into a battlefield. Therefore, he decided to leave Mecca without performing Hajj.
On 8th Dhul-Hajj, the very day on which Hazrat Muslim was murdered in Kufa, Imam Husayn"s caravan left Mecca. Imam Husayn did not know of Hazrat Muslim"s death.
The journey was made on camels and horses. The weather was extremely hot at that time of year. The Imam, his children, ladies and friends suffered great hardship during the journey.
During the journey, Imam learned of the death of Hazrat Muslim and the cruel way in which he had been killed.
When Yazid came to know that Imam Husayn was heading towards Kufa, he immediately sent Hurr, at the time one of his army commanders to stop the Imam from joining his followers in Kufa.
Hurr, with 1,000 horsemen, met Imam Husayn and his companions at a place a few miles outside Kufa. Hurr and his men forced the Imam to take the road to Karbala’ which was situated on the banks of the River Euphrates (River Furaat).
Imam Husayn could have fought Hurr and his soldiers and forced his way into Kufa, but it was not Imam Husayn"s intention to start any battle.
On 2nd Muharram, 61 A.H., the Imam, his family and his faithful companions arrived in Karbala’. Yazid"s armies had already arrived in the area long before the Imam"s arrival. It was a huge army consisting of thousands of soldiers.
By the 7th of Muharram, Yazid"s army had increased further in number. Now there were 20,000 of Yazid"s soldiers surrounding Imam Husayn"s 72 men from all comers. They were scattered over miles on the sands of the river bank.
On the 7th of Muharram, Yazid"s soldiers were told to guard the bank of the River Euphrates so that Imam Husayn, his family and companions could not take any water.
Heat was intense in the desert and hot winds blew all day. Imam"s family and friends suffered without water and food for three days.
On the 10th of Muharram, 61 A.H., the battle took place. One-by-one all the Imam"s men were martyred except our 4th Imam ‘Ali Zainul Abideen who was very ill at that time and could not take part in the battle.
After the battle was over, Yazid"s soldiers set fire to the Imam"s tents and looted the camp. They even took the veils away from the Holy ladies. They beat the children and took away all their belongings. They snatched and pulled away Bibi Sakina"s earrings and let her little ears bleed for a long, long time.
The Shi"as hold a majlis every day for the twelve days of Muharram. We remember, cry and do matam for the brave martyrs of Karbala’.
The story of a brave martyr of Karbala’ is recited on each day of the twelve days.
Thanks to Imam Husayn, his family and his faithful friends. Their great sacrifice in Karbala’, saved Islam, our great religion.

“For no one the heavens wept for forty days save Yahya and Hussein”
LONDON, Oct. 24 (MNA) – As Muslims around the world are once coming together to commemorate the tragedy of Karbala and the sacrifice of Imam Hussein, it is important we remember those lessons, the Prophet’s progeny sought to teach humanity - opening a path of light onto those who otherwise would continue to be lost in the darkness.
Today I feel we fail to grasp the universality of Imam Hussein’s bravery, his absolute devotion to the Word of God and the stand he made, not for himself or his family, but for mankind. As his body was pierced with a thousand arrows, as he watched his son, his brother, his kin draw their last breath in the land of Karbala, will we not recognize the message embedded in the cries his voice carried to the Heavens?
Although he knew that his death would come in Karbala, his heart stood still as he showed the ages how the faithful hold true before tyranny - how the righteous do not give even an inch to treachery and evil. In his arms it was the strength of his father, Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib, in his eyes the love of his mother, Lady Fatimah, and his heart the light of his grandfather, the last Prophet of God, Muhammad ibn Abd Allah (PBUH).
Every year, Muslims around the world commemorate the tragedy of Karbala. They attend mourning meetings and processions in which the story of Karbala is retold, lamentations are held and special poetic readers using dramatic techniques and symbolism recite eulogies to mark the events of the day of Ashura. All these commemorative meetings not only serve to convey the events and message of Karbala but also provide opportunities for us to learn about Islam in general.
Sadly the tragedy of Karbala is not being observed and remembered by all Muslims.
Why you may ask? Why indeed! Today Shia Islam most of all remembers its Imam, cries its death and his untimely departure … not because Shia Muslims ever thought that death would never touch Imam Hussein but because his death left them, us, forever orphans.
Because his sacrifice humbled us, all of us. He died so that Islam’s message would live on. He died so that our sons and daughters would remember that before evil, before tyranny, one does not bow or negotiate - not when such bargain entails betraying God’s command.
In the land of Karbala, on the day of Ashura it is a piece of all our souls which was left on the field. And so yes we cry and we beat our chest in mourning … but although we feel sorrow, we also pay tribute to our Imam’s absolute and immeasurable courage and depth of character. And how can anyone ever deny Imam Hussein’s leadership, who could deny our pain when treachery sought to rob us of the light to instead drawn us in darkness.
But we remember Ghadeer Khumm, we remember the oath given - we remember that our faith and our love are forever tied with the House of God, for in its people, God entrusted His Word.
And so we will cry and we will remember! But our tears should be all of our tears for they are the tears of Islam and Islam was the religion of all prophets.
In the veins of Imam Hussein flowed the blood of the sons of Ibrahim (AS), when he fell, it was the heir of Islam which was struck by a thousand heretic blades.
And so we will cry and we will remember!
Imagine, it is afternoon on the day of Ashura. Imam Hussein is standing on the blood-drenched soil of Karbala in the heat of the scorching sun, awaiting to meet his beloved. His head is wounded and blood is streaming slowly down his holy face soaking his blessed beard. He looks around, searching for members of his family and his companions, only to find them brutally slaughtered and slain like sacrificial lambs, lying there on the ground soaked in blood. He hears the innocent crying and wailing of the children and the women. Tears flow down his holy face. That’s when he famously cries out at the all people of whole ages that “is there any helper to help me?” Further he takes a piece of cloth to wipe the blood from his face, whereupon an archer from the army of Yazid (may Allah’s curse be upon him) shoots a triple-headed arrow, which lodges into Imam Hussein’s (AS) heart.
He pulls out the arrow causing blood to gush out. The Holy Imam is thirsty. He cries: “O Allah, I am thirsty”, in the meantime another man approaches and shoots an arrow which thrusts into Imam al-Hussein’s (AS) throat quenching his thirst. Hilal bin Nafi’ was reported as saying: “By God I never saw a person getting killed with his own blood all over his body in a better state than al-Hussein. I was so overwhelmed by the radiance of his face that I refrained from contemplating killing him.” Even when the accursed Shimr approached Imam al-Hussein (AS) to severe his blessed head, he said: “When I approached Hussein ibn Ali and my eyes fell on him, the light of his face so gripped me that I forgot my intention to kill him.” It is reported that when Imam al-Hussein was killed, the sky rained down blood. It has been recorded that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (AS) has said:
“…For no one the heavens wept for forty days save Yahya and Hussein…”
And so we will cry and we will remember!

11. ABBAS;
The call of the purity
The essence of justice
The embodiment of hope
The lion of Ali
The protector of Husayn
The guard of zainab
12. The commemoration of Ashura on the 10th of Muharram every year serves to remind us of the sacrifices of the family of the Prophet (S). It also makes us aware of the people, then and now, who tried to destroy Islam and the family of the Prophet (S) and all that they stood for - as well as those who watched, listened and did nothing.
13. Who is Husayn ?
The leader of the small band of men who were martyred in Kerbala was none other than Husain (A), son of Ali bin Abi Talib (A) and grandson of the Holy Prophet (S). Who was Husain? He was the son of Fatima (A) for whom the Holy Prophet (S) said, "Husain is from me and I am from Husain. May God love whoever loves Husain." [1]
14. What is Ashura ?
In the month of Muharram 61 AH (approx. 20 October 680 AD), an event took place in Iraq at a place known as Kerbala on the bank of the river Euphrates. It seemed in those days insignificant from the historical point of view. A large army which had been mobilised by the Umayyad regime besieged a group of persons numbering less than a hundred and put them under pressure to pay allegiance to the Caliph of the time and submit to his authority. The small group resisted and a severe battle took place in which they were all killed.
It appeared at that time that like hundreds of similar events, this battle would be recorded in history and forgotten in time. However, the events that occurred on the 10th day of Muharram in Kerbala were to become a beacon and an inspiration for future generations.
15. When his son ALI AKBAR wanted to go to the battle field, IMAM HUSAYN said:
Oh God, be witness that I send them a person who looked just like your prophet in appearance, manner and eloquence and we look at him when we miss your prophet.
امام حسین هنگام به میدان رفتن فرزندش علی اکبر:«خدایا گواه باش شبیه ترین مردم به رسولت در خلقت و اخلاق و سخن گفتن به سوی اینان رفت و هرگاه ما مشتاق پیامبرت می شدیم به او نگاه می کردیم.»
حسین کیست؟
8.Who is Husayn?
چرا همه خوبی ها به او ختم میشود؟
Why does the all goodness reach to him?
چرا خوشبختی و حسین با هم عجین شده اند؟
Why does the bliss blend in perfectly with Husayn?
چرا مظلوم ترین انسان بود؟
Why was he the most harassed?
چرا دشمنان حسین امروز در حال قتل و عام مسلمانان و مسیحیان هستند؟
Why do Husayn`s enemies slaughter Muslims and Christians today?
چرا قدرت های استکباری به دشمنان حسین کمک می کنند؟
9. When is the International Hosseini infant gathering`s day
روز همایش جهانی شیرخوارگان حسینی چه روزی است؟
?When is the global day of Ali Asghar
روز جهانی علی اصغر چه روزی است؟
Do you know that Imam husayn`s enemies didn`t let him and his family drink any water, even his 6-mounth-old son?
آیا می دانید که دشمنان امام حسین به او و خانواده اش اجازه ی نوشیدن ندادند؟ حتی به پسر 6 ماهه اش؟
Remember Imam husayn when drinking water, as his enemies didn`t let him and his family drink any water till killed them.
موقع نوشیدن آب امام حسین را یاد کنید زیرا دشمنانش به او و خانواده اش اجازه ی نوشیدن آب ندادند تا اینکه آنها را کشتند.
oh,God
I can’t imagine that Imam Husayn’s child was only six-month-old when he was martyred!!
The question is for which reason?
خدایا! نمی توانم تصور کنم که بچه ی امام حسین وقتی که به شهادت رسیدند، فقط 6 ماه داشتند!!
به چه دلیل؟؟
I wish you all were present in Ashuora and saw how I asked them for water for my infant ,but they refused to give.
ای کاش در روز عاشورا حضور داشتید و شاهد آن بودید که چگونه برای نوزادم از آنها طلب آب کردم ولی آنها از دادن آب امتناع کردند.
water is the right of all living creatures ,Isn`t it
So why did he martyr thirsty?
10.They killed Husayn as He was forbidden to drink water and He was thirsty.
او را درحالیکه آب را به رویش بستند و تشنه بود کشتند.
They killed Husayn as He was injured and his clothes had been stolen.
او را درحالیکه مجروح بود و لباسهایش را غارت کرده بودند کشتند.
They killed him like John the Baptist as his head was cut.
او را مانند یحیی درحالیکه سرش را از بدنش جدا کردند کشتند.
All the member of his family ,including women and children were captured .
زنان و کودکانش اسیر شدند.
They killed his 6_months old baby as he was thirsty.
کودک شش ماهه اش را درحالیکه تشنه بود کشتند.
How can`t I cry for this incident?
چگونه می توانم بر این مصیبت گریه نکنم؟

16. Martyr is a person who has a great spirit, a spirit with Sacred goal
, who was killed in the way of faith
, someone who has not worked for himself
, one who has taken a step in the right way and the truth and virtue Imam Husayn is the greatest martyr of mankind
Who is the martyr?
شهید کسی است که یک روح بزرگ دارد، روحی که هدف مقدس دارد،
کسی است که در راه عقیده کشته شده است،
کسی است که برای خودش کار نکرده است،
کسی است که در راه حق و حقیقت و فضیلت قدم برداشته است.
امام حسین بزرگترین شهید بشریت است.
17. Surely, there exists in the hearts of the believer , with respect to the martyrdom of Husayn a heat that never subsides. “Holy Prophet (PBUH)”
حضرت محمد (صلّی اللَّه علیه و آله و سلّم) : بدانید که با شهادت حسین، آتشی در دلهای مومنین ایجاد شد که هیچ گاه خاموش نخواهد شد.
18. The king of politeness and feelings
HAZRAT ABBAS, water- carrier ( saqqa) of the desert of Karbala
He is the one who all people should know.
who is abbas?
Abbas stayed extremely faithful .(It was beyond God"s expectations of us and our ability to be loyal.)
عباس وفاداری راتمام کرد (بیش از توان و حدی که خدا از ما در مقام وفا می خواهد)
He is the one to whom God always offers his greetings.
Endless greetings.
کسی که خدا همیشه به او سلام می رساند. سلامی همیشگی و علی الدوام
19. Do you know that…?
One of the martyr of Karbala was black and he died while his head was on the feet of Imam Husayn
آیا میدانید که..؟
یکی از شهدای کربلا سیاهپوست بوده است و در حالی که سرش بر بالین امام حسین علیه السلام بوده است به شهادت رسیده است.
Do you know that…?
One of the martyr of Karbala was a Christian, whose name is wahab
آیا میدانید که..؟
یکی از شهدای کربلا مسیحی ای به نام وهب بوده است.
20. truth is that the largest human gathering has been boycotted by the media
.Whatever the reason is,this is hiding the truth
حقیقت اینه که بزرگترین اجتماع بشری توسط رسانه ها بایکوت شده!
دلیلش هر چی که هست،مخفی کردن حقیقته
?Why do these people walk at a particular time to a specific place
?Why aren"t they worried about food and shelter
چرا این مردم در زمانی خاص،با پای پیاده به سمت محلی خاص کیلومتر ها حرکت می کنند؟!
چرا نگران غذا و مکان نیستند؟
?What are they looking for
?Why the media boycotts this gathering of 22million people and pretends that they are 4million people
به دنبال چه چیزی هستند؟
چرا رسانه ها آنها را بایکوت میکنند و جمعیت 22 میلیون را 4 میلیون معرفی می کنند؟
Young or old,they walk 80kilometers from Najaf city to Karbala on Arbaeen day...to the Hussain"s holy shrine
کوچک و بزرگ،پیر و جوان،در روز اربعین، 80 کیلومتر را از شهر نجف تا کربلا،به سمت آرامگاه حسین حرکت می کنند.
?What are these 22million people looking for
این 22 میلیون انسان به دنبال چه هستند؟

IN THE NAME OF GOD
39. After you, your progeny were captured,
and adversity befell your family and your offspring.
Indeed, the Messenger (PBUH HF) became distressed and his depressed heart wept,
The Angels and the prophets offered their condolences to him for your martyrdom,
Your mother, al-Zahra, became distressed and bereft of you,
Legions of favored Angels came in waves to offer their condolences to your father, the Leader of the Faithful,
Mourning commemorations were held for you in the utmost exalted place Heaven,
and the dark-eyed Maidens (of Paradise) hit their own heads and faces in grief,
The skies and their inhabitants wept,
as did Paradise and its keepers,
the mountains and their surroundings,
the oceans and their fishes,
the heavens and their servants,
the House (Ka’ba), and the Station (of Abraham),
the Sacred Monument,
and Mecca and its sanctuary.
پس ازتو فرزندانت به اسیری رفتند، و وقایع ناگواری به عترت وخانواده ات واردشد،
پس(از شنیدنِ این خبر) رسول خدا پریشان گردید، و قلبش مضطرب بگریست،
وفرشتگان وانبیاء او را تعـزیت گفـتند، و مادرت زهـراء (از مصیبتِ تو) اندوهِناک شد،
ودسته هایِ ملائکه مقرّبین در آمدوشد بودند، پدرت امیرمؤمنان را تعزیت میگفتند،
مجالسِ ماتم وسوگواری برایِ تو در اعلاعلیّین برپا شد،
و حورالعین به جهت تو به سر و صورت زدند،
(در عزایِ تو) آسمان و ساکنانش، بهشت ها و نگهبانانش، کوه ها و کوهپایه ها،
دریا ها و ماهیانش، فردوس ها و جوانانش،
کعبه و مقام ابراهیم، و مشعرالحرام ، و حلّ و حَرَم جملـگی گریستند،
*************************
But as I have been hindered by the course of time and as (Allah’s) decree has prevented me from helping you,
and as I could not fight those who fought you, and was not able to show hostility to those who showed hostility to you,
I will, therefore, lament you morning and evening, and will weep blood in place of tears, out of my anguish for you and my sorrow for all that befell you,
until I meet death from the pain of the catastrophe and the choking grief.
اگرچه زمانه مرابه تأخیر انداخت، ومُقدَّرات الهی مراازیاریِ تو بازداشت،
ونبودم تا با آنانکه با تو جنگیدند بجنگم و با کسانیکه با تو دشمنی کردند خصومت نمایم،
(درعوض) صبح وشام برتومویِه میکنم، و به جای اشک برای توخون گریه میکنم،
از روی حسرت و تأسّف و افسوس برمصیبت هائی که برتو واردشد،
تا جائی که ازفرط اندوهِ مصیبت، وغم و غصّه شدّتِ حزن جان سپارم،

21. او گفت: اگر دین ندارید و از روز قیامت نمی ترسید لااقلّ در زندگی دنیاتان آزادمرد باشید
He said:If you do not believe in religion and do not fear the Hereafter ,then at least be free from tyranny and arrogant.

He said:
People are slave of this world and their religion is just like saliva or taste on the tongue. They revolve around religion as long as their materialistic" needs are well provided;
but when they face difficulties, tests & trials, very few people prove to be steadfast"

او گفت: بترس از ستم کردن بر کسی که به جز خدا یاوری ندارد.
:He said
“Avoid oppressing the one who does not have any supporter against you, other than the Almighty God.”
