MARTYRDOM OF THE PROPHET'S GRANDSON HUSAIN (r.a) ibn ALI (r.a.)
KERBALA NOT A SECTARIAN MOTIF BUT A SYMBOL OF ISLAM'S ESSENCE

"The greatest Jihad is to say the Word of Truth to the Tyrant Ruler." (Hadith)

This is Mohurram 10, 1424, the anniversary of the martyrdom of Husain at Kerbala. The beloved grandson of the Prophet (pbuh) stood against the tyranny of Yazeed in spite of overwhelming forces gathered by Yazeed.

Unfortunately the great sacrifice of Husain (r.a.) is clouded by sectarian squabbling in some parts of the Muslim world. Stylized mourning and breastbeating have made the occasion anathema for most Muslims.

Fortunately, the visionary poetry of Allama Iqbal and the writings of Abu Ala Maudoodi have made it abundantly clear that Husain is not a sectarian icon but a symbol of the central tradition of Islam.

HUSAIN ibn ALI (Allah be pleased with both) would not accept the tyranny of Yazeed for the following reasons. [Note how relevant these are to our own times when yazeeds are sitting on the "thrones" of Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, Kuwait, UAE, Turkey (disguised democracy) and many other lands.]
1. Hereditary rule.
2. Monarchy.
3. Tyranny.
4. Arrests without evidence and trial.
5. Secular rule where the Qur'an and Sunnah do not apply to the rulers.
6. Use of state treasury as if it is the ruler's private fund.
7. Removal of Muslim ummah from the process of decision making.
8. Restrictions on freedom of expression.
9. Tribe and group placed above TAQWA (Allah-consciousness) as standard of superiority.
10. Exploitation of women, using them as sources of entertainment.

Hazrat Abu Huraira (r.a.) has reported that the Prophet (pbuh) loved his grandchildren. Those who killed his grandson Husain have made themselves accursed forever and ever.

ISRAEL IS COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY IN PALESTINE. CIVILIANS ARE BEING KILLED BY THE JEWISH GANGSTERS ON A DAILY BASIS. A pregnant woman was murdered only days back. Murder of Palestinian children is hardly even reported in the media. Islamic leaders, the only ones organizing resistance, are being assassinated.
WHAT CAN MUSLIMS IN AMERICA AND EUROPE DO AGAINST ISRAEL BY PEACEFUL MEANS?
1. Boycott businesses which support Israel.
1a. Do not go to DISNEY.
1b. Do not drink cocal cola or Pepsi.
1c. Do not go to starbucks for coffee.
[Ask Sis. Aisha, New York City, if you need complete list.]
1d. Support Muslim, African-American, African, Arab businesses.
2. REMEMBER THAT ISRAEL IS THE REAL FORCE BEHIND THE ANTI-IRAQ WAR PLANS. Put it on stickers and flyers. ["IT'S NOT THE OIL, STUPID, it is ISRAEL."] Make Americans aware of this hard fact. We can give you the info.
3. SPEAK, WRITE against ISRAEL.
4. DISTRIBUTE LISTS OF ZIONISTS, especially Jews, in the Bush administration, especially Wolfowitz and Richard Perle, along with lists of Zionists in the media, such as Krauthammer and Larry King.
