What is ‘Ashoora?

In the Islamic calendar, 10th day of the month of the Muharram is the day of ‘Ashoora, a day of mourning for all feeling Muslims. It is the day on which , in the year of 61 Hijri(680 AD), in a place called karbala, in Iraq, Imam Hussain, the grandson of the Prophet of Islam, sacrificed his life and the lives of many of his family members and friends, in order to save the teachings of Islam from utter distortion.

The purpose of this sacrifice was:

With his sacrifice, Hussain(AS) attracted to himself the eyes of all  the free- thinking  people of his time and of all the time to come. In that time of confusion, when right and wrong had become so intermixed that they had lost distinction, Hussain, in Karbala, irrevocably re-established that distinction, creating a clear,  incisive demarkation between right and   wrong , and leaving no doubts(for even the most prejudiced of historians)about the fact that the right lay with Hussain, and the wrong lay with those who opposed him. Establishing this fact, Hussain, through his words and actions and the words and actions of his companions, encapsulated all the teachings of Islam within a short span of time, in the field of Karbala, creating a beacon of light for the truth seekers of all times.

It is this event that is marked on the tenth of Muharram every year. It is this event that has made free thinking people of all times love Hussain with a selfless love beyond compare. And it is this love that expresses itself through mourning during the month of Muharram, and particularly on ‘Ashoora, the 10th of  Muharram, every year. The mourning is a way to remind oneself of Hussain’s incomparable sacrifice, a way to thank him, a way to express love for him, and a way to broadcast to the world his message of true freedom.

THE BIRTH OF IMAM HUSSAIN(A.S)

  Six months after Al-Hassan was born, Fatima(A.S) became pregnant with her second child.

Lady, Fatima started noticing the signs that childbearing was near, but the Prophet(P.B.U.H) had already foretold of Imam Hussain’s birth.

Imam Sadiq(A.S) said:

Once, Um Ayman’s neighbors came to the Prophet and said :

“Messenger of Allah, Um Ayman did not sleep last night because of crying; she surely cried until morning.”

The Prophet summoned her and said :

“Um Ayman, your neighbors say that you spent the night crying, may Allah not caused your eyes to cry !! What made you cry?”

She answered: “Messenger of Allah, I had a fearful dream which caused me to cry all night long .”

The Prophet (P.B.U.H) said: “Tell me your dream, for surely Allah and His Messenger are most knowledgeable.”

She said:” Last night I saw a dream as if one of your limbs was thrown in my house!!”

The Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) said: “Your eyes have slept, but youvisioned a good thing. Um Ayman, Fatima will give birth to Al- Hussain, and you will bring him to me. So one of my limbs will be in your house."

When Al- Hussain was born, Um Ayman brought him to the Prophet(P.B.U.H) who said: “Both the carrier and he who is being carried are welcome. Um Ayman, this is the interpretation of your dream.”

Um Al-Fadhl, Al-Abbas’s wife, had a similar dream.

Safia Bint Abdul Muttalib, Asma Bint Umais, and Um Salama were present when Imam Hussain was born. When the Prophet asked Safia (his aunt) to bring him the newborn child, she said: “We have not cleaned him yet.” When the Prophet heared this, he said: “You clean him?! Surely Allah the Exalted has  cleaned and purified him.”

After Al- Hussain was born, Gabriel again descended to the Prophet(P.B.U.H) and revealed to him to give the new baby the name Al- Hussain. Al- Hussain is the Arabic version of the old Hebrew name Shabir, which was Haroun’s second son’s name.

When Gabriel descended to the Prophet, scores of angels accompanied him to congratulate and console the Prophet for Hussain’s birth and expected martyrdom.

Imam Hussain(A.S)was not nursed by any woman, including his mother(A.S); instead he suckled the Prophet’s tongue until he grew old enough to eat. Because of this, his characteristics were exactly as those of the Prophet(P.B.U.H).

Seven days after the birth, the Messenger of Allah shaved Hussain’s head and gave the weight of his hair as charity for him.

Some sayings of the Holy Prophet(P.B.U.H)during his lifetime with Reference to Imam Hussain.

1.     Hassan and Hussain are the leaders of the youths of paradise.

2.     Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain.

3.     Allah befriendes those who be friend Hussain and He is the enemy of those who bear enmity to him.

4.     The punishment inflicted on themurdere of Hussain(A.S)Hellwould be equal to half the total punishment to be imposed on the entire sinners of the world.

It is a very important day for moslems. It is a day in which there was a  fight  between virtue and evil.

6.     How much do you know Imam Hussain(A.S)and believe him?

I know that he is our leader. He Helped Islam a lot.

Whithout his secrifice, people couldn’t know real Islam. Because yazid claimed that he was an Islamic leader and made people follow and obey him. But he was a lier. He was the enemy of Islam. And Imam Hussain(A.S) Fought him to show people that yazid was a lier and the was the enemy of  holy prophet(P.B.U.H) and Islam.

7.What can we learn from Ashoora?

We learn that we should be ready to defend our belief  if we are Killed.

 

8.     What does Ashoora mean to you?

Since Imam Hussain(A.S)is the man: festation of freedom, humanity, honour and  truthfulness,  Ashoora reminds us to be free, human, honourable and truthful to be a real follower of Imam Hussain(A.S).

Apparently yazid killed Imam Hussain(A.S)but he actually killed Bani Omayee for more than thousand. Yazid killed Imam only during a day and Imam Hussain(A.S)Killed yazid and his family for ever every day.
