Moharram 2011

Moharram the Islamic year has just begin, but rather than festivity its full of mourning, as Prophet's beloved grandson (saw) Imam Husain (as) was mercilessly butchered along with other 71 members of his family and friend circle. These martyrs did include even 6 month old baby Ali Asghar (as) who was pierced by a poisonous arrow on his throat. Head of 72 martyrs we cut and put on spears, ladies were taken captives they were paraded from market to market, court to court shamlessly handcuffed, neck tied to rope and without their outer covering ( Hijab), finally taken to tyrant Ommayad caliph Yazid. The people who killed the these 72 person claimed they were Muslim and were doing holy war ( Islamic duty), this shows Islam and Holy Prophet's (saw) family itself were the first victims of these terorrism which is termed as holy war.
It all started with Yazid asking allegience ( Bayah) from Husain (as) grandson of Prophet (saw) to run is illegitimate caliphate, and whatever evil he would do would on account of allegience of Husain (as) be certified by Husain (as). Imam Husain (saw) chose to sacrifice his life and give his family and friends for the sake of Islam and upto the last day made it sure that Prophet's (saw) Islam was different from duplicate Caliphate based Islam which promoted terrorism.
Imam Husain's (as) eternal sacrifice would ever be remembered by all, he asked his lover before laying his life: Hal Min Nasirin Yansurna ( Would would join me in my cause). Reply to it by saying: Labaik Ya Husain (as) ( I am ready to help your cause O Husain (as))

Mahatma Gandhi  once declared; if ever I too had 72 people like those who were in camp of Husain (as) I would have won freedom for India in less than 24 hours.
He also said: If ever India desires to be a successful country it should follow the principles of Imam Husain (as).
He also said: I learnt from Husain (as) how to won even after being oppressed.
