Imam Hussein (AS) and Ashoura

In the name of Allah

Ashoura

The tenth day

For so many reasons such as honesty, Justice, Courage, and trying to revival the real Islam and hadrat Mohammad’s way and manners our Imams were killed and murdered, and Imam Hussein (AS) is one of our Imams who has been killed in a very unfair war, actually he was travelling from Mecca to Kufe with his family and they were going there just because Kufe people wanted them to go, they wrote so many letters and invited Imam Hussein to Kufe, they wrote him that they want him and his leadership and his Justice and they were sorry about their past behaviors, because of their letters and their insisting  Imam Hussein has accepted  to go

 When the governor of Kufe “Ibn Ziyad” heard about this he sent his army out of Kufe to defeat Imam, and take his agreement for “Yazid Ibn Muawia”s reign. but Imam (AS) told them he don’t want to have war and he asked them to let him and his family go back to Mecca, he told them he is there just because they wanted him to be, and he showed them their letters, many of those people how has sent letters to Imam (As) were now standing against him because Ibn Ziyad gave them money or he threaten some of them, after 10 days and abandoning water, they couldn’t make Imam to accept Yazid and his way. acctually beside the letters Imam has left Mecca because they were forcing and threatening him and his family to accept Yazid as the leader of Muslims. And Imam (AS) was completely disagree with Yazid, because Yazid was not a true Muslim and Muawia was not suppose to chose a Successor after his death , so long story short Imam didn’t accept Yzids leadership and they didn’t let him to go back or forward and finally they killed our lovely  and innocent Imam and his 72 companions.  Even his little baby, “Ali Asqar (AS)”  who was only 6 months old

Hadrat Zeynab (S) was there, during all those horrible events and she was helping his brother and women and children of family she was so brave and she encouraged other women to be brave. After Imams shahadat they took his family as Captive and prisoners and they harassed them a lot, they took them to Yazids palace. Zeynab (s) gave such an impressive speech in front of   Yazid and showed his ugly and cruel face to people, she talked about Allah and her brothers Innocence

 She went through so many difficulties, she saw her beloveds dead, her brothers, her sun and so many other members of her family, she saw their Innocence, and she tolerated prison, finally after so many terrible events she died and buried in Damascus. Her grave is a holy and respectful place to Shia and true Muslims

Yazid and Muawia hurted the Mohammad’s (SWA) family a lot, they bothered them a lot and Martyred them. Now after about 1400 years we see that Muawias soldiers still exist, wild and cruel Salafists that call themselves Muslims but they are lying. They are threatening our seyede Zeynabs tomb these days…they don’t know what a stupid thing they are doing… we defense her tomb  with our lives. They can’t stand the fact that Shia will always loves her and respects her

O my lady I don’t know why you should tolerate so many difficulties and why is it your turn again, but I promise Shia won’t be quiet this time. We will always defense Islam, our prophet and his family because they were chosen by Allah and they are innocent. I can’t write everything about Mohammad’s (SWA) family in such a short text, but I’ll try to write more about them in future
