MUHARRAM UL HARAM 1448 AH



1st MUHARRAM UL HARAM 1448 AH

Beginning of Islamic calendar each year reminds us the cause of our creation as the most eminent creature in the universe by Almighty Allah (SWT). What makes us the most eminent creature is taught by His Messengers, the Prophets, one after the other till beginning of 11th AH ?
Key Divine teachings wished by Allah to be in man wilfully and not by compulsion were and are :
i)Stand for the right .
ii)Stand and struggle for the right of suppressed class.
iii)Dare to say ' No ' to the tyrant ruler for his misdoings, unlawful and illegitimate demands.
iv)Stand against any move initiated even by tyrant ruler for wrong and mislead interpretation of Divine teachings taught by His Messengers .
Though Humans opted those Divine teachings taught by His Messengers but most of them failed to sustain them in life due to lusters of life presented in fancier way by Satan posing the life to become comfortable and luxurious, if opted. Going against them needed sacrifice of life, property, comforts of life and even physical and mental tortures of tyrant ruler by humans. Our last Prophet (PBUH) got much disturbed and expressed his concern on not achieving the Divine ive by majority of humans. Almighty realized the sad feelings of Rasulullah and consoled him saying not to worry. You were sent to convey My wish to humans and now it is their responsibility to use brain, the blessing of which is unique in them, to follow. If follow, they will be awarded abode in Paradise in Hereafter life, otherwise face Hellfire.
As Rasulullah was going to be the last Prophet, Almighty Allah designed a system, to continue guidance and practically demonstrating the courage to sustain opted Divine values necessary to translate Almighty Allah's wish for humans as the most eminent creature among all His creations, of 12 Imams having Divinely inducted explanation of Quranic teachings and kept them away from all evils, even after his wisal. These Imams (a) sacrificed not only their lives but also their loved ones in various ways, in the way Allah, to teach Muslims to preserve Divine values to prove their identity as eminent creature of Allah. The most notable sacrifices demonstrated by Ali(a), having the proven ability of strength in wars fought in the life of Rasulullah, in the form of patience for 25 years and Husain (a) by giving his life along with his family members and ashab(r) in Karbala denouncing the attitude and actions of tyrant ruler of his time, Yazid ibn Mauwia in the first month Muharram UL Haram of 61AH. The quotation for both these Imams
" LIVE LIKE ALI - DIE LIKE HUSAIN "
made these Imams as Role Model even by non- Muslims. Their sacrifices encourage humans against oppression by tyrant forces to preserve one's right and dignity even in present, so called, modern era, which if left unnoticed would drag the entire world into stone age, meaning lawless, selfish individuals in particular and society/nation in general using any means to fulfill wishful desires ruining all Divine values .
" FIRST MONTH 'MUHARRAM UL HARAM' OF EACH YEAR ENERGIZEZ US TO ENTER IN NEXT YEAR OF LIFE WITH HONOR AND DIGNITY BY REMEMBERING THE SACRIFICE OF IMAM HUSAIN (a) AND PAY TRIBUTE TO BIBI FATIMA ZEHRA (a) ON BLESSING US IMAMS, THE ROLE MODELS, FROM HER PROGENY TO OPT AND SUSTAIN DIVINE VALUES IN OUR LIVES"
