who is imam hussain ? ( part 10 )
the text from : www.islampfr.com
The night before 10th of Muharram (Lunar month) Imam Hussain (PBUH) gathered his men (companion) in a tent, they were more than one hundred people, then told them: “tomorrow a bloody war will happen and all of us will be killed but paradise is waiting for us. However if everyone who is debtor or wants to get back for any reason but he is embarrassed to leave, I blow the candle to make it easier for you.” Sometimes people have faith but not so deep, when Imam Hussain (PBUH) lighted the candle only 72 people were sitting, the rest left their leader.
Today , the world is filled with oppression and tyranny . Take notice of what tormentors are doing . Observe what they are doing in Palestine , what they are doing in Iraq , what they are doing in various countries , what they are doing with the nations of the world ; what they are doing to the poor , what they are doing with the national wealth of the countries. Hussain Ibn Ali's (AS) movement extends through all these areas. Imam Hussain(as) taught a lesson not only to Shi’a and other Muslims but also to all freemen of the world .
The leader of the Indian Nationalist Movement { Mahatma Gandhi } mentioned Hussain Ibn Ali (as) about seventy years ago and said , “ I have learned from him .” Moreover , he was Hindu , he was not a Muslim at all .
He has the same impact among the Muslims . This is the story of Imam Hussain , and you are the curator of such invaluable treasure from which all humankind can benefit . - Ayatollah Khamenei, Jan 9, 2008
RECOGNIZE THE SHIMR OF YOUR ERA
The martyr Morteza Motahhari , years before the Revolution , would be the one to say , "I swear to God that today's Shimr is the Israeli prime minister ." These words had such a great impact then and ring true today .
We condemn Shimr because we want to root out influence that has led others to behave like Shimr - in this world . { Shimr killed Muhammad ’s grandson Hussain Ibn Ali at the Battle of Karbala .} We condemn Yazid and Obeidollah because we are opposed to tyrannical rulers ; from rulers such as Yazid , to the rulers of indulgence and hedonism , and to the rulers of oppression over believers around the globe . Hussain ibn Ali (as) rose to power in order to defeat and eradicate governments opposed to Islamic , human and divine values: he did so by uprising .
Our gatherings must be Hussaini gatherings , gatherings against oppression , gatherings against monarchy ; gatherings against Shimrs , Yazids and Ibn Ziads of the present time . And this is the continuation of Imam Hussain's (as) story . Ayatollah Khamenei , Jan 9 , 2008

The best lesson learnt from tragedy of Karbala is that Hussein and his fellow companions had a firm faith in God. They made it crystal clear that when the truth and just confronts Vanity and unjust, numerical superiority is of no importance. The triumph achieved and accomplished by Hussein despite of being in minority amazes me.
Irving Washington
On a burning sun of a deserted land and on the heated sands of Iraq, Hussein’s soul is immortal. Oh my hero, my paragon of braveness. Oh Hussein!

When Imam saw people ask for his
help, sent one of his companions, Moslem Ibn Aqeel (Imam Hussain’s
cousin and one of his best companion) to Kufa to check the situation and
see how many people really want Imam Hussain (PBUH) to be their leader
and caliph.
Yazid was informed by his spies. So he replaced
Ubaydallah Ibn Ziyad in Kufa, ordering the latter to disperse the crowd
supporting Moslem Ibn Aqeel. Ubaid-Allah treated people and killed some
of them to dissuade them about Imam Hussain (PBUH). Then Moslem was
found and delivered to Ibn Zyad, and while Moslem was going to send a
message to Imam Hussain (PBUH) with the following: “return with your
family, and don’t be deceived by the people of Kufa. They have misled
you and me”, Ibn Ziyad killed him. However, the message was not received
to Imam Hussain (PBUH) when he decided to leave Mecca.

Imam
Hussain (PBUH) left Medina with his sisters, daughters, sons, brothers,
and the sons of Imam Hassan (PBUH) and the companions for Hajj. He took
a side road to Mecca to avoid being pursued, and once in Mecca Imam
Hussain (PBUH) stayed in the house of ‘Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib and
remained there for four months.
In Mecca Abd Allah Ibn al-Zubayr,
Abdullah Ibn Omar and Abdullah Ibn Abbas asked Imam Hussain (PBUH) to
make Mecca his base and fight against Yazid from Mecca. Imam Hussain
(PBUH) opposed Yazid and declared that Umayyad rule was not only
oppressive, but also religiously misguided. The integrity and survival
of the Islamic community depended on the re-establishment of the correct
guidance. Imam Hussain (PBUH) also knew that the succession of Yazid
was an attempt to establish an illegitimate hereditary dynasty.
On
the other hand, The religious attitudes of the Umayyad caused the
people of Kufa finally believe that leadership of the Muslim community
belonged to the infallibles from descendants of the Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH), so, by sending thousands letters to Imam Hussain (PBUH), they
asked him to join them, come to Kufa and help them to be released from
cruel rulers.

The Martyrdom Of Roghayeh,.It is narrated: Yazeed ordered to carry the holy Hussiens head for Roghayeh in a washtub
When Roghayeh saw the washtub said: what is this
They replied: Your Fathers Head
So Roghayeh thrown herself on it, and started hitting her Face and Mouth, to the point that her Mouth was full of Blood
While she was say: O father
Who has made your face bloody with your blood
Who has cut your veins
I wish I was Blind before I see like tragedy
I wish I was buried and never see this crime
Then she put her lips on the Hussiens Lips, and cried extremely load, and passed out
And when they try to move her, she was dead already. reyaz-al-Quds

The
state that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) established was in accordance with
Islamic economic jurisprudence. As the state expanded, the rights of the
different communities, as they existed in the Constitution of Medina
still applied. The Constitution of Medina instituted a number of rights
and responsibilities for the Muslim, Jews, Christian and pagan
communities of Medina, bringing them within the fold of one community.
The Constitution established: the security of the community, religious
freedoms, the role of Medina as a sacred place (barring all violence and
weapons), the security of women, stable tribal relations within Medina,
a tax system for supporting the community in time of conflict,
parameters for exogenous political alliances, a system for granting
protection of individuals, and a judicial system for resolving disputes
where non-Muslims could also use their own laws. All the tribes signed
the agreement to defend Medina from all external threats and to live in
harmony amongst them. The same rights were later applied to all the
communities as the state expanded outside Medina. The Quran also gave
rights to the citizens of the state and these rights were also applied.
But Yazid was oppressive and he broke peace, so Imam Hussain (PBUH) felt
that it was his religious duty to confront him and send a message to
the future generations that oppressive rulers who take away the rights
of people should not be given allegiance, because their oppression burn
all people with every belief.
