Observing the days of prophets, messengers and divine-chosen persons is actually expression of love and devotion with them and terming them your example in good deeds. That is why channelling love and moral dignity with these holy personalities keeps the basic status.

Moreover, remembering these holy personalities puts a human being on the path to progress and creates such feeling in him that he becomes successful in following these great personalities here and the Hereafter.

In holy Quran, commandment has been given at many places to talk about Ambia, Mursaleen and Saleheen (righteous persons). Allah Says: “and talk about Ibrahim in Kitab Allah that he was a truthful Nabi” (Surah Maryam Ayah 41). Another place it is said: “and talk about our men Ibrahim, Ishaq, and Yaqoob who were men of strength and wisdom” (Surah ص Ayah 45).

Actually observing the days of Saleheen is honouring the human dignity, values and religious values and meaningful honour and dignity, negation of oppression, brutality and suppression and revival of invitation to Tauheed, Nabuwwat and Wilayat because Ambia, Mursaleen and Bandgan-e-Illahi had been the protectors of Illahi values and spokesmen of religion and Shariat.

One of these personalities is Nawasa-e-Rasool us-Saqalain Shahzada-e-Konain Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) who sacrificed his life along with 72 near and dear ones in Karbala for protecting Illahi (divine) values, supporting human dignity, and defending religion and Shariat rather he took religion, Shariat to new heights.

The great martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) wrote a new golden chapter in the world history and derived support of the mankind for his sacrifices, patience, forbearance, and firmness. Karbala became the source of guidance for all movements for independence. Hussaini sacrifices preach us many lessons on of which is how to tackle with oppression, suppression and brutality and giving priority to death in honour over life in disgrace.

Hussaini Majalis and processions of Ashoora and Arbaeen-e-Hussaini are actually a strongest citadel and spiritual weapon against international colonial powers that shakes the colonial and Zionist courts even today.

It is the blessing of Majalis of Imam Hussain (A.S.) and Azadari processions that echoes of Kalma-e-Tauheed are heard all around the world today. Through this blessing talk about Shariat-e-Muhammadi, Afkaar-e-Haideri, Ismat-e-Fatima and the good deeds of Khasan-e-Illahi is continuing. That is why the oppressors the world over remained busy to silence the Matam so as to silence the voice of Zainab (S.A.) and Zainul Abideen (A.S.) and the followers of Nabi (SAAW), Ali (A.S.) and pious Sahaba Kubaar are deprived of Ajr-e-Risalat.

Azadari-e-Imam Hussain (A.S.) preaches courage and bravery and the lesson of sacrifice with invaluable spirit.

Sha’air-e-Hussain are those religious lessons that can help us achieve Al-Quds Ash-Sharif, get Kashmir and Palestine free, drive out the allied forces from Iraq and Afghanistan and increase the honour and dignity of motherland Pakistan, that came into being in the name of Islam, even today.

Imam Aali Muqam Hussain Ibne Ali (A.S.) whose Chehlum (Universal Arbaeen-e-Hussaini) is being observed on 20th Safar-ul-Muzaffar gave a new lease of life to religion and Shariat, preached us how to root out monsters, and declared Bandagi as the right type of life. Karbala is the source of guidance for all movements of independence the world over and the universe is deriving its benefits even today.

After remained detained for more than a year, a looted caravan of Aseeran-e-Karbala headed by Hazrat Zainab (S.A.) and Hazrat Zainul Abideen (A.S.) reached Karbala on 20th Safar. Sahabi-e-Rasool Hazrat Jabir Bin Abdullah Ansari (who has the honour to be first Mujavir of Hussain A.S. grave) was present in Karbala. As soon as they entered Karbala the cries of the caravan went high and the Mukhaderat-e-Ismat cried to the extent that women living nearby village gathered there. Zainab (S.A.) and Kulsoom (S.A.) while crying stated the Masaib (sufferings) of Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) that how the oppressors committed Shahadat of Ahle Bait (A.S.). The cries of Zainab (S.A.) shattered the earth and the sky. Jabir reached near Hussain’s (A.S.) grave and went unconscious after putting his hand on it, water was showered on his face. Went became conscious, he raised the slogan of Ya Hussain (A.S.) three times and then said: “I stand witness that you are the son of Afzal-e-Ambia (best of All Prophets i.e. prophet Muhammad), son of Sardar of Momins, offspring of Khanwada-e-Hidayat and Taqwa, fifth personality of the Ashab-e-Kisa, Sardar of Naqaba, offspring of Syeda and Sardar Alamyaan Fatima Zahra (S.A.), Syed-ul-Mursaleen fed him and you was brought up in the lap of Muttaqis, you drank milk of Fatima, led a pious life, and went from this world pious leaving the Ahle Iman in doldrums. Salam-e-Khuda (peace of Allah) is on you. You adopted the path which was followed by your brother Yahya Bin Zakariya and kissed Shahadat”. Then he looked all around and said: “Salam is on those souls that dashed near Hussain (A.S.) and are resting. I stand witness that he restored prayer, paid Zakat, ordered for the good, stopped from the evil, carried out jihad with Mulhideen and atheists and worshipped Allah till Shahadat”. Then he said: “By God Who sent Rasool (SAAW) with truthfulness in which you Shuhada entered, we are with you in it”.

Attiya Aufi who was from amongst the Ashab-e-Ali says that when I said to Jabir that he has kissed Shahadat and we did nothing, then Jabir said: “Oh, Attiya, I have heard from my Habeeb Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW) that he had said

every person will come on the D-Day with one with whom he is a friend, a person who like work of any nation, he is included in that nation”.

We present pursa in Bargah-e-Risalat on this tragic and mournful occasion of Arbaeen-e-Hussaini and pray that may Allah keep on the path of Hussainiyyat and included us in his Azadaran and mourners.
