Re: Imam Sajjad in Yazid’s court
Your reaction is quite strange. Usually this is not how your response use to be. You did not come this way even against people who called Yazid ‘raziallah’. Anyway.
Please show me an example of ‘bad manners’ from this speech.
Regarding ‘self-praise’, well, the purpose of that was demonstrated right in the beginning of the post. Syrians had been under a ruler who had been fighting Imam Ali since long. There were tens of thousands of people who were killed during these battles. So it should be easily appreciated that Syrians did not recognize or realize the significance of killing of Imam Hussain (member of Ahle Bait). What you call ‘self-praise’ was the introduction of Ahle Bait in front of them.
Think about it. There was the head of Imam Hussein put right there in the court. Ladies from Prophet’s family were present there in chains. Under such circumstances, if a speech given by the LAST SURVIVING ADULT MALE member of a member of Ahle Bait is ‘bad manners’ then one should say good bye to every form of reason and logic, and say welcome to nonsense.
One may object to demonstration of their significance by a member of Prophet’s family, if he tells anything false. If everything is TRUE, and if that speech achieved its objective of making people realize who these ladies and children were; then any objection on it is void.
Those who killed Prophet’s family deserved punishment in this world and that. And those who were killed unjustly while defending what they believed, must be appreciated and praised.
