Ashuraa


Ashuraa is the tenth day in the month of Muharram, the first month in the islamic calendar. year. An important and tragic event took place on that day that shook the muslim world. Imam al-Hussein the grandson of prophet Mohammed peace be upon him and his family were murdered in Karbala in the year 61 AH/ 680 AD.

          The political and religious standing of Imam Al-Hussein and his martyrdom played a major role in shaping the political, cultural and religious life of all muslims to this day. Because of his sacrifice despotism was uprooted till the day of resurrection. He awakened the sleeping muslim nation,  and by sacrificing his life for the sake of truth verily, therefore he becomes the foundation of the muslim creed la Ilaha Il-lallah
.
He knew that from the military perspective a group of 71 made up of his family members (man,women and children) and few of the prophets companions cant stand for long to the force of a regular army composed of military officials and the militias of different tribes. That didnt deter him because he had a strategic political and religious goal more important than winning at the confrontation site. As a believer of his grandfathers message and Imam of all muslims he had one and only duty and that is to uphold the truth brought by the prophet and fight and expose all falsehood in the name of islam or any other religion for that matter and he stated his position in few words we will never submit to falsehood
Karbala, therefore went down in in history as a clash involving Islamic truths versus falsehood, belief versus disbelief, and the oppressed versus the oppressor, faith against brute force. The Imams slogan, strategy and sacrifice became an example taught and applied by the leaders of the oppressed and righteous all over the world. Gandhi for example said: I learned from Hussein how as an oppressed to fight and win. Marbin and Antoine Bara indicated that they took his revolution as a guide in their battles to achieve justice ,democracy, freedom and as framework for basic human rights

           Under the prophets command muslims were one ideology but since that event and till now they are divided into sects, and parties whose ideology stems from the issue of imamah and their position from the martyrdom of the Imam Al-Hussein. At the time of the battle the muslims were divided into those who believe in the values of justice, freedom and human rights and expressed that in public and private with Imam Al-Hussein, and those who adopted the values that protected their worldly interests mainly power and wealth like the politicians and the hypocrites. Muslims unanimously agreed, imams Sunnis and Shiites on the principles and all were in support of the Imams ideology, strategy and goal , and differed in minute details that accommodated the fanatics on both sides, but I single out one group which are called the Nawasab, who adopted hostile point of views against the  family of the prophet Mohammed peace be upon him. therefore celebrated the killers of his family and downgraded the sayings about his familys virtues ,position, status,  importance and roles. One of the many examples is the celebration of the day of Ashura by fasting, of course, they do not announce the real reason for their joy, but they relate it to a a number of Hadiths attributed to the prophet, the most supported one is the one that mention that him and his family intended to fast when migrated to Medina the day prophet Moses crossed the sea and escaped the pharaoh, the day of atonement or Yom Kippur. According to the islamic calendar the prophet migrated to Medina on Monday the 8th of Rabei I  in first Hijri Year so it was never in Muharam and that corresponded the 20th of september 622 AD . That Hadith was also before Ramadan was announced as the fasting month for muslims and once that was announced we were not to fast that day as stated by major scholars. if we apply the rules of jurisprudence the people who are promoting Sunni fasting this day in celebration has to also mention the several Hadith mentioned in the Sahah about the crying of the Prophet peace be upon him and his family on this day after he was told by Gabriel, peace be upon him that his nation would kill his son Hussein in Karbala.The Khawarij and Nawasib of this age follow only what they see fit to their agenda and is dictated by their hatred to the prophet and his family whom they see as a threat to their interests.
I wonder how that Sabea Almndalih and some Iraqi churches, declare it a morning day for the killing of the oppressed, Imam Al-Hussein and his family who represent the true islam while some celebrates the victory of prophet Moses when all evidence disprove their allegations.

           We are obliged to use our God given brain to analyze the available date and not to follow anything blindly, and to be polite with the prophet peace be upon him and his family
