Ashoura

Let us imagine Imam Hussein (a.s) on the ground of Karbala. Children had been murdered, his friends; brothers had been slaughtered, with counted minutes left until they would take his head and put a spear through his chest. Let us imagine how they would then attack their tents to burn it all down and take with them all they could find, including the women. Zeinab and Umma kolthom and Sokayna. Let us imagine those last counted minutes and remember what Imam Hussein said to God. Let us remember what they did, what they sacrificed, so Islam could live on. Let us remember Ahlul Bayt each time we want to curse our luck. They had refused to follow the lead of Yazid and the murderers like him. The same murderers who neglected the fact that this great man was the son of Imam Ali (a.s) and there wasn't a chance he would ever think of being like them. The son of Batoul got a letter telling him that he and his family would be alright as long as they did what Yazid wanted. Our Imam yelled out saying that's impossible. "madam fiya rou7 wi7yat il jalil mabbayi3 hayk kafra wa mojrmin" Let their courage, the courage of the greatest people through history, be an example for all of us. An example to follow!
