Re: The Husseini Lesson
To understand the sacrifice of hussain one has to have sense of proper concept of islam. The rest is simply put exaggeration, distortion and twisting of facts and even fabrications.
1)Islam is deen not mazhab
2)khilafah=management of affairs of humanity as par rule of law of Allah by consent of at least majority of people themselves
On this criterion
1, Khilaafah of Abu bakar was fine because it was acording to islam and supported by a great majority of muslims
2, Khilaafah of Umar was fine also due same reasons
3, Khilaafah of Usman was ok as well because he too was accepted khaleefah by ummah, however conspiracies started and some people became unhappy with the way of handling his state affairs but a huge majority was still ok. The people who killed Usman were trying to force him to resign from khilaafah and that was not right for them to do because constitution had to be followed for deposing of an already installed khaleefah. Only majority of people could depose him by showing vote of no confidence in him.
4, Ali also became khaleefah by majority support but it was much greater minority that he needed to take along. People who killed usman also caused problems and ultimately Ali too was killed by them in cold blood. He had no right to give up khilaafah once he was installed by majority of ummah so he did not and he was right.
5, Hassan became khaleefah, again by majority support but minority grew yet more strong and time came when minority became majority so he saw that he no longer has right to be khaleefah because majority support is no longer there, so he resigned and he too did what was right according to the constitution of islam.
6, Hussain had no right to khilaafah because he did not have majority of ummah with him any more and all because people started bringing in foreign concepts of ruling and constitution of deen was changed from quran to none quranic way of ruling ie khilaafah was changed to imperialist system. Since then that is the kind of islam we have been following in the main.
The fight of hussain was not for ruling people to replace yazeed because he knew majority is gone of the rail of quran. His fight was to restart the movement of the prophet once more to bring islam back in to the minds of people as deen so that they bring back the rule of islam. This is what people were not allowed to do and they are not allowed to do it even today because deene islam is a thread to ruling elite through out the world. They have especially created priestly classes to protect them from coming back of islam as a ruling system.
Islam is now just a mazhab and people are happy with it as a mazhab and never sit up and think why we are doing same things as people of other religions ie busy with pooja paat having no sense of real world and human society, politics, economics etc etc. we have no sense even how to manage our homes never mind managing the affairs of wider world. Our educated elite is as stupid as people who never went to school. All because there is no sense of family or humanity and where we all should be going. We have come to think education is all about earning our living and living our own lives as individuals.
The result is we are not even at the level of animals never mind being humans. The world is falling in to deeper painful suffering and wider and wider segment of human society is becoming dis-empowered and dispossessed.
We were supposed turn our world in to a paradise but instead turned it into hell hole.
All this is result of leaving deene islam and accepting mazhabe islam, which means we are slaves of ruling elite in the name of country and in the name of religion we have become slaves of mullahs.
Unless people wake up and fight to come out of slavery they are just useless no matter how they please rulers and mullahs. If we want to please Allah we must get rid of ruling elite and their priestly classes.
I hope people realise what was it that hussain fought for. He fought for educating people about real islam so that they understand it properly and then use it to make their lives better.
deen v mazhab is a subject in its own right that needs to be studied
