Ruler is Hussain,
Emperor is Hussain,
Faith is Hussain, guardian of faith is Hussain
Offered his head and
not the hand to Yazid
Truly, the foundation of faith (there is no god but Allah) is
Hussain
(Hazrat Moeenuddin Chishti Ajmeri)
Two thought
patterns dominate this world. One is constructive
and the other is destructive. Constructive thought pattern acquaints man with peace and tranquility whereas destructive thought pattern
brings distress, discomfort, anguish and misery
in life. The creator
of this Universe created it with
affection and warmth
and made it a
place of bliss, affection, honesty,
trustworthiness. The colours
of this Universe, glow of moon in dark nights, shining sun amid day,
star studded sky, life supporting
gases, tunes of trees
and plants in commendation of their Lord, creation of earth and its depths as well as
mysteries of skies----
all this was made for peace, happiness and
fulfillment of man. No one was deprived
of generous endowments of nature.
When we delve into the intricacies of this pleasant
life, we come to
realize that sacrifice is fundamental to every sentiment. There is
nothing in this earth except
Allah gifted capability to create.
The act of keeping
seed safe and healthy and nourishing it is nothing
but sacrifice and a selfless service
by earth.
At the point when man contemplates his presence in this world, he doesn't end up anywhere before conception.
The lives of prophets especially the life of our Holy Prophet (SAW) was marked by a deep sense of responsibility for human beings. They were always ready to sacrifice for the welfare of others; constantly prepared to renounce their comfort for the welfare of others.
Hazrat Imam Hussain, learnt the lessons of sacrifice and magnanimity from his commended
grandfather (SAW). He knew
all aspects of his grandfather's life. He was also mindful
of the difficulties the Prophet
(SAW) came across in making people know
II of truth or Haq. The noble life of the husband
of the dear daughter of the Prophet (SAW) and his father, Syedna Ali
Murtaza(Raz) was also before him. Sacrifice in Allah's way, therefore, became the most unmistakable feature of his life. Courage
produced by unshakable faith in Allah guided
him throughout his life. Acceptance of what
comes from Allah, sacrifice in the way of Allah, and emerge selflessly as an example
before common people were the tradition he inherited.
The background of Karbala is so
painful that it makes everyone sad, tearful and miserable.
Imam Hussain (Raz) became
a victim of a hateful
conspiracy. The dearest grandson
of the Prophet (SAW) exhibited the qualities of his
grandfather and father.
An uninterrupted tradition
of sacrifice for Allah began from the Prophet
(SAW) and ended at the sacrifice
of our master Imam Hussain.
His sacrifice indelibly
highlighted the difference between truth and deceit.
قتل حسینؑ
اصل میں مرگ یزید ہے
اسلام
زندہ ہوتا ہے ہر کربلہ کے بعد
(مولانا محمد علی جوہر)
(Hussain's martyrdom is in fact death of Yazid. Islam is revived
after a Karbala) (Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar)
Islam is the religion
of peace and humanity.
It
condemns discrimination. The Prophet (SAW) granted freedom and
concessions to non-Muslims at a time
when people were unaware of non-discrimination and tolerance.
The Holy Quran advocates internal freedom for all in matters specific to them such as worship
in accordance with beliefs as well
as in matters relating to adjudication.
The Holy
Quran says: "We commanded that followers of the Bible decide their matters in accordance with the law Allah
gave them" (5:47)
As per these injunctions, every section of society
was allowed to live freely. Christian
and Jews were invited to cooperate. It was said: "For every nation there is a Hadi" (13:7) and "Every nation is guided by a messenger". (47:10)
These teachings based on religious tolerance and
freedom points ton firm decision that every human
being deserved to be respected and tolerated.
"Those who believe (in the Qur'an),and
those who follow the Jewish (scriptures),and the Christians and the Sabians, --
any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have
their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear. Nor shall they grieve."
(2-62)
Islam is the name of bringing humanity and
followers of all the religions together and inviting them to hold Allah's
decrees firmly.
And this was the legacy that Abraham left to
his sons, and so did Jacob; "Oh my sons! Allah hath chosen the Faith for
you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam." (2:132)
According to Islam Allah's creature is His family.
The religion that considers all the creatures part of a family, how can it damage
Allah's creature. Religion is nothing but blessing, peace and security for all,
Islam is the name of respecting life and property of others. It does not allow hurting
the religious sentiments of others.
We might be different in race and religion but
we all drink water gifted by Allah and breath oxygen created by Allah. Sun
shines on everyone and we all were created with similar matter, We all enjoy happiness
and grieve when feel hurt or pained. We all come in this world for a while and
then die. We spends a very limited time in this world. It should be spent with
happiness and harmony.
Once a group of Christian leaders visited the Prophet
(SAW). The Prophet (SAW) arranged their stay in his mosque. The Christians said
that they wanted to offer prayers. The Prophet (SAW) allowed them to pray in
the mosque as per Christian teaching.
