Salam ,
The month of Muharram has come. The greatest Qurbani of All times for a noble cause of Islam was
given on 10th of this month. When the tenets of Islam had been shrouded in the mystery by one who had captured power for worldly gains after Prophet......it required a great Qurbani to separate "THE REAL ISLAM From the THE ISLAM OF BANI UMMAYYIDS...
It required none else but the Grandson of Prophet ,
IMAM HUSAIN , to come to the rescue of Islam...... KHAWAJA Moinuddin Chishti...
a renowned Sunni Sufi of repute SAYS .... The revival of Islam took place by the Qurbani of Imam Husain... Islam was saved through Imam Husain.... That is why he termed IMAM HUSAIN
AS BUNIYAAD( FOUNDATION)" OF ISLAM Khwaja Muinu'd-Din Chishti says:
"SHAH AST HUSAIN, BADSHAH AST HUSAIN
DEEN AST HUSAIN ,DEEN PANAH AST HUSAIN,
SARDAAD ,NA DAAD DAST DAR DAST-E YAZEED,
HAQQUAA KE BINA-E LA ILAH AST HUSAIN."
{Husain is Shah(spiritual leader), Husian is Badshah(the administrative leader or the king) of this world. Husain is himself "religion" and also the one who gave shelter to the religion. He prefered to give his head but not his hand to Yazeed. The fact is ...Husain is the foundation of The Religion, the foundation of la ilah ilallah}
Really.... Islam was in danger ..at the verge of being extinct by getting changed in its true teachings and face. The change in Sharia started as per the requirements of this Khalifa Yazeed. Muawiah had appointed his debauch son Yazeed as the Successor of Prophet...and Yazeed was about to murder Islam when Imam Husain offered 72 heads and saved Islam.
Is it not strange that Khawaja calls Imam Husain as foundation and founder of religion after 73 years of its historical foundation in 610 A.D., when Prophet said " Qulu La ilah ilalalah" ?
Yes , it is quite strange and that too for a person like Khawaja to say so. Khawaja said it after almost 850 years of Prophet .Why did Khawaja say so?
Because just after 73 years of the message of La ilah ilal lah.....Yazeed was telling in his Arabic couplet that neither was there any Wahi, nor was there any revelation..this all were the concocted stories of Banu Hashim. Then arose Imam Husain and said no , the real Islam is a divine message and I shall put a seal to all such efforts of Yazeed to change Islam by facing all atrocities he can perpetrate on me and my family.
He offered the lives of many near and dear ones including a son of six months named Ali Asghar, in the cause of saving Deen.
The salaat , saum , and deen, we are having
today in its actual form is but because of Qurbani of Imam Husain..... every muslim should acknowledge
and express his thanks to Imam Husain and should not sympathise in any way to those who are responsible for bringing Yazeed on the throne of Khilaafat ....who got Murdered one of the the noblest soul on the earth and the grand son of Prophet.
One of another most famous poet"Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar had rightly said:
Qatl-e Husain asl mein Marg-e Yazed hai,
Islam Zindah hota hai har Karbala ke baad
{
The murder of Husain is actually the death of Yazid ,as Islam gets revived after every Karbala}.
I remember, one of the great Scholars of the Indian sub continent Syed Ali Naqui {NAQUAAN} once said ......that I will beg to state to Maulana Jauhar ,witrh all humility and praise for his greatness as Urdu Poet , that : "Islam Zindah hota hai bas Karbala ke baad"
would have been more appropriate than "har" karbala ke baad.. ..because the Karbala Imam Husian presented once cannot be repeated and has given final blow to the tendency of Yazeediat.
