Imam Husain(A.S.)-The Chief of Martyrs

آپ کوڈاکٹر نالائق کا یزید لعین کے لیے رضی اللہ کہنا یاد ہوگا اور ثبوت میں یہ کہا تھا کہ امام غزالی اور حافظ ابن حجر عسقلانی نے بھی رضی اللہ کہا ہےان پر بھی کفر کا فتوی لگائے اگر مجھ پر لگانا ہے.. تو ہم نے امام غزالی کے متعلق تو اپنے دوسرے تھریڈ میں جواب دے دیا ہے باقی رہا حافظ ابن حجر عسقلانی تو ذاکر نائیک صاحب ہم آپ کو حافظ ابن حجر عسقلانی کی مندرجہ ذیل روایت پڑھنے کا مشورہ دے گئے یعہ ڈیفنس کا ڈاکٹر ذاکرنایئک کے منہ پر تمائچہ یزید اور اسکے حامی امام ابن حجر عسقلانی کی نظر میں اہل ِسنت کے علم الرجال اور صحیح بخاری کی سب سے مشہور شرح لکھنے والے امام ابن حجر عسقلانی نے جو کہا ہے اس کے بعد سپاہ ِیزید اور ذاکرنالائق جیسے نواصب پر حیرت ہی ہوتی ہے۔ وہ اپنی کتاب 'الامتاع باالاربعین' ص 96 پر تحریر کرتے ہیں: وأما المحبة فيه والرفع من شأنه فلا تقع إلا من مبتدع فاسد الاعتقاد فإنه كان فيه من الصفات ما يقتضي سلب الإيمان یزید سے محبت اور اس کی ثناء سوائے فاسد العقیدہ شخص کے کوئی اور نہیں کرسکتا کیونکہ یزید کی صفات ہی ایسی تھیں کہ اس سے محبت کرنے والے سلب الایمان ہونے

حسین تم نہیں رہے تمہارا گھر نہیں رہا مگر تمہارے بعد ظالموں کا ڈر نہیں رہا مدعینہ و نجف سے کربلا تک ایک سلسلہ ادھر جو آ گیا وہ پھر اِدھر اُدھر نہیں رہا صدائے استغاہء حسین کے جواب میں جو حرف بھی رقم ہوا وہ بے اثر نہیں رہا صفیں جمیں تو کربلا میں بات کھل کے آگئ کوئ بھی حیلہء نفاق کارگر نہیں رہا بس ایک نام---اُنکا نام اور اُن کی نسبتیں جز انکے پھر کسی کا دھیان عمر بھر نہیں رہا کوئ بھی ہو کسی طرف کا ہو کسی نسب کا ہو جو تم سے منحرف ہوا وہ معتبر نہیں رہا

Muharram is the most important Shia mourning ceremony and commemorates the death of Imam Hussein. Following the Prophet Mohammads death, upheavals and rivalries divided the Muslim community. After the assassination of Ali, prophets son-in-law and cousin, Muawiya became the uncontested leader. Alis eldest son, Hassan did not have enough support to effectively oppose the new caliph. He made peace and received a handsome pension and lived in Medina where he died under suspicious circumstances. The Shiites believe Muawiya who appointed his son Yazid as his successor poisoned him. Dome of Shrine of Imam Hussain (AS) in Karbala Hussein, Alis second son and the third Shiite imam, refused to swear allegiance to Yazid. He was killed in the battle of Karbala and his martyrdom on the 10th of Muharram in 680 AD has become the most important communal ritual and mourning rite for the Shiites. These people believe in the imam as the true leader of the faithful and the

During the reign of Mutawakkil, Imam Ali al-Naqi (A.S.) felt very ill for some time; the Imam knew his cure would be in the pilgrimage to the shrine of Imam Hussain (A.S.). Thereupon he asked his companions to select a group of people and send them to Karbala at the Imam's expense. There the selected group would pray for the Imam and ask Allah (SWT) for his health to return. Companions of Imam Ali al-Naqi (A.S.) discussed the matter with each other and returned to the Imam saying: "O son of Allah's messenger! Your status is better than that of Karbala's, because you are the Imam of the time, Allah's live deputy, and the best of mankind on earth. Your prayer is certainly answered. How will our prayer in Karbala have any affect upon you?" The Imam calmly replied: "There are positions for Allah in the matter, in that He prefers for worship to be done there. Although the status of the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) was higher than the

This is one of those question that automatically come to mind when one analyses the character of Yazeed. The reason lies in aqeedah, and goes to heart of where the Sunni / Shia viewpoint diverge. The core difference between the two schools is on the topic of Imamate: who has the right to lead the ummah. Shia muslims believe that this leadership is religious guidance and hence the appointment is the sole right of Allah, for He knows what is best for his servant and He shall appoint the man best suited / most superior to lead teh Ummah through all times. Allah will select Imam who is best in character, most excelled on the components of Deen, who shall only rule via justice. There is no need for ijma, or votes since Allah appointsand no one has a voice in the matter. The Ahlul Sunnah believe that appointment of Imam is a duty of Public - the decide on who come to power. The importance in relation to appointment is the act of giving bayya - once the Khalifa received ijma

A sunni brother mentioned: Imam Hussein (A.S) was truthful in his determination to change the munkar, but he was adviced by the likes of Ibn Abbas and Ibn Umar that he was overoptimistic with the people of Iraq and their help. Hussein, being a human who is not ma3soom like the prophets, exercised his Ijtihad. Based on what is even reported by the Sunnis, Imam Hussein knew that he will be killed in Ashura in Karbala, and yet he went forward. Not only Imam Hussein, but also all the Prophets of God knew about the detail of this catastrophe. From Adam, to Noah, to Moses, to Zakariyya, to Yahya (John), to Muhammad, all cried for Imam Hussein (A.S) and remembered him on the day of Ashura. Imam Hussein, before he leaves Medina, saw the Messenger of Allah in dream who told him: "Verily Allah willed to see you martyred. Verily Allah willed to see your family captives" He knew that he will be killed where and how. There was no error in his part or what you ca

The Sunni Point of View towards Imam Hussein and Mourning for Him All Sunni scholars have reproached what Yazid did, and they give the right to Imam Hussein. They have no problem with mourning for Imam Hussein. What differentiates them from Shiites in this matter, is the different ways they have for mourning for Imam Hussein. The difference is that, Shiites hold this ceremony very seriously, but Sunnis have a more casual attitude towards it. There are four different schools of thought among Sunnis; Hanafi School, Maliki School, Shafi'i school, and Hanbali School. People belonging to all four sects care a lot about the love of Prophet Muhammad, and as Prophet Muhammad said in a Hadith that was his friend the one who was friends with Hussein and was his enemy the one who was the enemy of Hussein, they all have a good relationship with Imam Hussein. There are many sayings by the scholars of each of these four sects that support Imam Husseins battle of Karbala and repro

جرت رسول اکرم سے ہجرت کا آغاز ہوا لیکن امام حسین -کی حرکت و سفر سے اسلام کی اصلاح و رتبدیلی کے ایک نئے باب اور تاریخ کا آغاز ہوا ہے۔ امام حسین کے اس سفر کا مقصد امت ِمحمدی کی اصلاح تھا۔ آپ محمد ابن حنفیہ کو اپنی وصیت تحریری طور پر لکھ کر دیتے ہیں تاکہ رہتی دنیا میں حسین ابن علی کی یہ وصیت باقی رہ جائے اور من مانی کرنے والے ،کربلا کے من گھڑت مقاصد بیان کرنے والے اور خواہشات نفسانی کی پیرو ی کرنے والے افراد کو منہ توڑ جواب دیا جائے کہ حسین ابن علی نے کس وجہ سے سفر کیا تھا: ''انماخرجت لطلب الاصلاح فی امۃ جدی،ارید ان آمر بالمعروف و انہی عن المنکر'' ''میں تو صرف اس لےے نکل رہا ہو ں کہ اپنے نانا محمد رسول اللہ کی امت کی اصلاح کیلئے کوئی قد م اٹھاسکوں ،میں اپنے سفر سے چاہتا ہوں کہ لوگوں کو اچھائی اور نیکیوں کا حکم دوں اور بری باتوں سے روکوں۔'' امام حسین -کے اس جملے سے جو تربیتی نکات ملتے ہیںوہ مندرجہ ذیل ہیں: معصوم امام بھی اپنی شرعی ذمہ داری کی ادائیگی کیلئے عمل انجام دیتا ہے اورعملی اقدامات کرتا ہے۔ معصوم امام کا مقصد صرف اور صرف اصلاح امت تھا۔

I Take Refuge In Allah From The Stoned Satan. In Name Of Allah The Source Of Mercy To All Of Creation; The Source Of The Mercy To The Believing Congregation. Oh Allah Bless Muhammads Soul, And Rain Down Peace on His Household. Why We Cry Dont think our cries are too extreme. Theres good reason for grown men to scream. Our actions arent of those insane, we weep in zikr (remembrance) of Hussein. When the guilty kills the innocent to usurp Islamic Government, Should not a Muslim cry in pain? Hussein! Hussein! Hussein! Hussein! Reflect on Husseins flawless fame. Reflect on Yazeed, steeped in shame. Shall not the heart be pierced by woe when the Khalif is Al-Islams foe? Oh what a dark, sad thought to bear, It breaks the heart, moves joy to tear. Thats why our tears fall down like rain. Hussein! Hussein! Hussein! Hussein! A heart of stones too hard to cry. A mind thats closed wont wonder why. A foolish man is deaf and blind. A coward always stays in line. But a soul that pros

The mud/dust found in the city of Karbala has some extraordinary value, in that it is a cure for every illness and a source of Barakah (blessing) and Divine mercy. As Shi'ee, we believe that the most perfect method of prostration is to place ones head upon the earth or anything natural created by Allah (swt) (excluding that which can be worn or eaten) as opposed to something like man-made carpets. According to the school of the Ahlulbayt (a.s) it is not compulsory to do prostration on the soil of Karbala however it is highly recommended. We shall now demonstrate some examples wherein the Turbah was used as a source of prostration and healing. Ibn Taymiyyah: He was asked about unfolding the prayer carpet in the Prophetic Rawdah. It is not allowed for anyone to spread his prayer carpet or anything related to him during his absence. This is a violation of the regulations of this area and prohibition for Muslims to apply the orders of Allah the Highest a

Al-Busayri: Narrated Umm Salamah, who said: 'The Prophet (saw) was asleep one night in his house. Hussain (a.s) approached towards the Messenger of Allah (saw), so I stood by the door and held him in fear that he would wake Allah (swt) Apostle. I got distracted by something, he ran in and sat on the Prophet (saw) stomach.  I (narrator) heard the Prophet of Allah (swt) wailing.'  I said to him, 'I did not notice when he came in.' He (saw) said, 'Angel Jibreel came to me while he (Hussain) was sitting on my stomach and asked, 'Do you love him?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Your Ummah (nation) will kill him.' Whose nation I (saw) asked? Angel replied, 'The nation of Islam.' Then he continued,  'Do you want me to show you the earth on which he will get martyred?' The angel flapped his wings and brought me this earth. I (Umm Salamah) witnessed in his hand was some red earth, and he was crying.  Then Allah (swt) Apostle

Ibn Kathir: Imam Ahmad said, 'Abdul Rahman and Iffan narrated to us from Hammad ibn Salamah from Ammar ibn Abi Ammar from  Ibn Abbas: 'I saw the Prophet (saw) in a dream, in the middle of the day and he was disheveled and covered with dust.' He was holding a container full of blood!'  I said, 'May my parents be sacrificed for you O Apostle of Allah (swt)! What is this?!'  He saw (saw) replied, 'This is the blood of Hussain (a.s) and his companions. I am still collecting the blood since the start of that day.'  Ammar (narrator) said: 'We memorised that day (of the dream) and we found that indeed Hussain died on the day of Ashura (i.e. 10th of Muharram).' Ibn Kathir:   It's chain is strong. Footnote:   It's chain is (rather) Saheeh (Authentic). A similiar narration exists with a different chain on the authority of Ibn Abbas who said: I woke up from this dream and said: 'By Allah (swt), Hussain has been killed! By Allah
