Gist of 1st in series of topic, 3rd Majlis by Maulana Mirza Mohammed At’har, 28 Nov, Moharram 2011, Iraniyan Masjid, Bombay, India
Topic: Injustice done to Prophet (saw) and his ancestors as well as progeny by biased Islamic history.
Islamic society had done injustice with family of Prophet (saw), his ancestors as well with his progeny. We would in concluding majaalis ponder over about the issue in a manner like a sort of investigations.
People accuse shia of exhuming the dead and buried issues even after 1400 year, may be to spread disintegration among muslim. Well, rather than disintegration it’s a demarcation about truth and evil. Unless people don’t know truth and evil they mix the two, by bringing up the issue we rather try to bring up truth. In an environment which was terrible for us we may have gone silent or hidden but in this secular environment, what’s wrong to bring up our issue and use our freedom of expression?
The mohaddith ( narrators) who were on stipends of tyrant Banu Ommayya wrote hadiths under their pleasures and according to their wishes. Greek court recently reopened the issue about the illegitimate death sentence on Socrates after 2500 year, he was asked to declare King's opinion to be true or drink the cup of poison, he did the latter, just to separate truth from falsehood. Similar case is being going through Pakistan judiciary about the death sentence of Z A Bhutto, accused is dead, but the people who support Z A Bhutto want truth to prevail. Implies it’s all about who people support, when we shia raise the issue which are 1400 years old we actually show our support for Husain (as).
Islamic history did injustice with two famous people of Islamic history the first being Abu Talib (as) and second being Khadija (as). Abu Talib (as) is accused of being idolatory and Khadija’s (as) age falsely stated. Abu Talib (as) is told as both a Kafir as well as protector of Prophet (saw) both at same time. Because of the second topic the protection granted to Prophet (saw) Allah would decrease his punishment in Hell to such a limit at just his brain would be boiling like food being cooked, hilarious! This is what majority of muslims believe is the due paid to Abu Talib (as) for protecting Prophet (saw), disgusting! If someone says his grown up children don’t listen to him, that can be understood, but if someone say his tiny children don’t listen to him, that's unbelievable. It implies fault in them. Ali (as) son of Abu Talib declared to believe in Mohammed (as) at age of 12 or 13 and Abu Talib (as) stood by him, why didn’t a kafir Abu Talib (as) stopped his 12 year old son from becoming a believer? This accusation is for a reason the Banu Ommayya knew the crimes of their forefather could never be wiped out, so rather than trying to wipe those out, it would be better to blame others with same crimes, this would bring the two on same level.
Second, injustice done is with Khadija (as) about her age, that Prophet (saw) married a lady of 40 years, why didn’t ladies of Prophet’s (saw) house stopped him from marrying an old lady? Sunni Hadith Sabaqat Ibn Sa’ad mentions that Prophet (saw) was born in year of Elephant, same book mention Khadija (as) was born 3 years before year of Elephant, implies she was just 3 years older than Prophet (saw). The reason why Khadija (as) didn’t married other when although proposals were being sent to her is because she was on same religion as was Mohammed (saw).
To conclude from history of so called mohhadisaen two people are kafir (disbeliever) and two are momin ( faithful). Abu Sufyan and Yazid are momin. Abu Talib (as) and Shia are Kafir. The people who fight with Prophet (saw) and His grandson (as) are Momin and the person who supported Prophet (saw) and those who mourn the painful martyrdom of his grandson (as) to this day are kafir. Well, it’s ok, may on the day of judgement we be there where Abu Talib (as) is and these be there were Abu Sufyan be.
Abu Talib (as) supported Islam with his influence while Khadija (as) supported Islam with her money. When Prophet (saw) would come home having sadness on his face, Khadija (as) would ask what happened? Prophet (saw) would reply my people are hungry, Khadija (as) would respond take my money and feed them. Glory! She became mother she fulfilled her duty as mother. The lady with whom Prophet (saw) spent 25 years has but few pages in history while those ladies who spent few years with Prophet (saw) have book over book written for them. Her age is increased in hadith implies maybe it was taken from someone’s else age and added to Khadija’s (as) while the other’s age was decreased!
People may ask how much did Khadija (as) spent, look Makka was not very prosperous, and how much she had to spend? What was influence of Abu Talib (as) population of Makka was low, the best reply to such questions is whenever a muslim walks with his religious prestige it’s because of influence of Abu Talib (as) and whatever Muslim eats is because of money of Khadija (as).
When both Abu Talib (as) and Khadija (as) passed away in few month one after other, it was at this point that Allah asked him to migrate out of Makka. Prophet (saw) called it year of sadness, they say mourn for 3 days over dead. Was Allah who raised Moses (as) in pharoah’s palace so weak who can’t protect Mohammed (saw) in Makka? No, but it was to show that the influence which protected Mohammed (saw) was of Abu Talib's (as) while the money which helped Islam was of Khadija's (as). Otherwise people would have said: he stayed in Makka even after the death of Abu Talib (as), implies someone else gave protection and someone else' money was used. Allah by his order certified the value of Abu Talib (as) and Khadija (as).
Abu Talib (as) just didn’t gave his influence he left influence and gave Islam his son Ali (as) to continue the influence. Same with Khadija (as), she also gave birth to a daughter Fatima (as) as her legacy. Allah unified the two sources by asking Prophet (saw) to marry Fatima (as) with Ali (as).
When influence of all the prophets (as) concentrated it became influence of Prophet (saw), when influence of Prophet (saw) concentrated it became jihad of Husain (as).
Masaaibs were followed later at the end of Majlis.
