In the month of Muharram..two great martyrdom happened..in 1400 years…on 1st of Muharram…Farooq the great(ra) was martyred by a parsi slave Feroz…because it was Umar(ra)…who defeated the whole Iran..the super power of that time…
2nd was of** Hussain(ra)…who refused to bow down in front of injustice…and sacrificed his life and precious members of Prophet(pbuh) family…just for the sake of Sunnah…and true…religion** which revolves arounf Sunnah and Quran..rather than myths..stories..rawayat…worshipping some individual…etc etc…
although the philosophy of Hussain(ra) was over shadowed over the spectrum of 1400 years…still..this month reminds us…of the great sacrifice which Hussain made …and refused to bow down in front of a dictator …or injustice..or falsehood..or whatsoever you say…
Still..remember…the beautiful verses of** Maulana Zafar Ali Khan**…which i readin 7th class urdu book…about this great incident…l
**
**
**
Aai karbala kee khak , is ehsan ko na bhool
Tarpati hai tujh par lash-e-jigar Gausha-i-Batool
**
Islam kai lahoo sai teri piyaas bujh gai
Sairab kar gaya tujh kau Khoona-i-Rag-e-Rasool
Karti rahai gee paaish shadat Hussain ki
Azadiyai hayat ka yai sarmadi asool
**
Char jai* kut kai sir tera naizai** kee nauk par*
Yaikin yazeedio kee ita’at na kar qabool
the beautiful wordings remind that…Hussain …sacrificed …himself and 72 persons…but he refused to bow down …his head…to anyone else except the Allah Almighty…
and this is the real essence of life…he not loooked for his life..kuxuries of life…money…compromises…governership…caliphate…but he sacrificed the life by standing foer the principles…
how many of us..and lovers of Hussain..actually..grasp this insight philosophy of martyrdom of Hussain…we run before the world…its luxuries…for the money…we bow our head …to **white Masters …of US..UK ..Europe **etc..we bow our head in front of injustices…otherwise Masters will be unhappy..and kick us out of thier country…how many of us…follow the footsteps of Hussain …not even 0.001 % !!!
