Dear friends and honored memebers of the audience. Allah says in this ayat soon
the
oppressors will know that they will be turned against their will on their faces.
Yesterday we discussed in breif regarding Hazrat Mukhtar and how he went into
prison
and how he was freed. I summarized due to the lack of time. I tried to give you
as much
history as possible. I cannot repeat the majalis from yesterday but in short the
shia should
not be disappointed with Hazrat Mukhtar. He has been called the saviour and
helper by
the Imam. Our fifth Imam called Mukhtar his nasir or saviour or helper. If
Mukhtar had not
done that which he did we would not have any happiness in our religion of shia
islam.
Mukhtar should get all the blessings of Allah due to his bravery and as a result
of this men
were no longer afraid to take the names of the ahle bait. In that time if one
took the name
of Ali then they would be beheaded or whipped. Mukhtar showed that shia are not
weak
but prefer peace. We do not kill but our religion is one of peace and
tranquility. If you hate
the ahle bait then the sheathed sword can be drawn by us.
The teacher of kufa and his efforts resulted in Mukhtar being freed. Mukhtar
collected the
brave shia and wanted to rule kufa and kill the enemies of the Imam. The shia of
kufa said
that until Imam Zain Ul Abedeen does not give the permission of khuruj or
permission to
leave then the shia will not collect with him. Mukhtar explained to the shia and
went to the
4th Imam and he didnt reply. He then went to mohammed e hanafia and asked him to
get
him the permission. Mohammed e hanafia took Mukhtar to the 4th Imam and again
the
Imam got up and went inside. Mukthar waited for the conditions to change and
lived in
Taif. 2 months passed and the conditions changed slightly. The oppressors should
never
think that things will never change. Allah has all the time to take revenge or
punish the
evil ones. Yazid ibne Mauwiya the grandson of Abu Sufiayan. The one who demanded
allegiance from Hussain and on being refused killed all the family of Hussain.
Lets turn to the court of Yazid. He ruled the entire peninsula of arabia, half
of africa, all of
iran and azerbaijaan and parts of russia. He ruled a vast territory and he was a
big king.
The hadith of bibi Zainab made him little.
The Quran says that honored is the one who is the Malik or owner of the
universe, He
owns all things in both realms. Zainab had told Yazid this ayat when he told
Zainab look
Allah honored me and look at your condition. He thought that this bibi who was a
prisoner
would be afraid. But the blood of Imam Ali is not afraid and Bibi Zaianb in the
full court
with 700 VIPs said oh the son of a freed slave. Oh son of a freed slave a lady
like Zainab
does not have to answer to one like you but I will due to this condition. Yazid
you are
mistaken if you think that Allah has honored you. Yazid that which you think is
rule is
nothing but a chance given by Allah. Zaiab said thanks be to Allah that He
placed me in
this honored household. The one who is patient is called a patient one but one
who thanks
Allah in these conditions is the soul who is at peace.
Thanks to the Allah that placed me in the household of the prophet. The rule is
with us
and not with you Yazid. What rule did she have. She had her hands tied and her
brother
was beheaded.
She said that you have a chance or some time. In the prision Zaianab attacked
Yazid. She
snatched Yazid's sleep, peace and his daughter and son and his wife. Yazid was
so
helpless that when he set her free. Till yesterday Yazid ruled and he commanded
what
should happen to the ahle bait. Now Zaianab is commanding and Yazid is obeying.
Free us
dress in black dresses, return our belongings now we will go to karbala. And
Yazid follows
these orders. Now who is the ruler Yazid or Zainab?
This crowd is proof of the victory of Zainab. The crowd is not here to honor
Yazid but to
curse him and honor Zainab.
Look at a turn of history. Tajir Ibne Abduallah E Damishki was a slave of Yazid
and he
would often sleep in his lap. He said that Yazid never slept after karbala. he
would wake
up and cry why did I kill Hussain. Doctors were called from all over the world.
A physician
advised Yazid that he be sent for a vacation and hunting. A small group of men
collected
to go hunting. Would you like to hear how Yazid died? Yazid went hunting with
this party.
Yazid rode on the horse. Not all can ride a horse. Riding on a pony is different
but riding
on a horse is different. The reins of the horse and the stirrups are the
controls of the
horse. If you spur the horse then the horse moves forward. If the horse knows
that you are
an untrained rider the horse will throw you off. The horse can be walked,
trotted, canter or
galloped. The king did not know how to ride properly he knew how to drink and
party. He
did not know how to ride the horse.
When the horse walks then two hooves lift and fall, in trotting the rider is
jumping, in
canter the horses stomach is sucked in and in gallop the tail of the horse and
the weapons
of the horserider would be moving such that they cannot be seen. In the battle
with
marhab Imam Ali galloped the horse and Ali Akbar in karbala.
Yazid sat on the horse. The horse knew that he did not know how to ride. There
are all
kinds of histories of what happened to Yazid. Let me tell you the historical
fact.
When this man struck the head of Hussain on the lips Zainab said that do you not
have
shame that you are whipping the lips that the prophet used to kiss. She said
soon you will
be torn to bits.
Yazid saw a pretty deer in the jungle. All hunters like to hunt deer. Yazid
galloped after
the deer. As he aimed his arrow the deer would spring away. He got separated
from his
party. Was this a deer or an angel from heaven we do not know. The deer climbed
up a
steep cliff. The king chased him. Yazid loaded an arrow in his bow. The horse
knew that
this man is not a good hunter and he tried to throw Yazid off. Yazid fell and
his left horse
was stuck in the stirrups. The horse galloped. The desire of Abu Sufian was
pounded into
pieces as the horse galloped down the cliff. He was shook like a rag doll. His
companions
did not find him for 3 days. Where is yazid buried. If he had died in one place
he would be
buried. The statement of bibi Zainab came true.
How did they know that Yazid died? When his horse returned after 3 days then the
foot
was stuck in the stirrup and by looking at the shoe and the small part of the
foot
remaining people realized that Yazid had gone to hell. Most of the enemies of
the ahle
bait were recognized by their shoes and feet.
Yazid went to hell who is the caliph now? Obaidullah Ibne Ziad was a governer of
basra.
He went to damascus. Omar Ibne Jaloot was a leader of a caravan and he had 10
sons and
100 camels. He was so brave as were his sons that they could each kill 100 men
each. He
took men from one place to the other. One of his sons was a great tracker and
could easily
find out where the army is coming from.
Mauwiya ibne Yazid was made king.
Marwan Ibne Hakam was sent out of Medina by the prophet. His father Hakam was
cursed
by the prophet. There were some who threw the entrails of animals on the prophet
and
Hakam was one of these people. Four of his sons became caliph.
How did Marwan become caliph. Obaidullah came and said that Yazid's son did not
become king. Lets make the best enemy king. Marwan was 96 years old and he was
married to one of the widows of Yazid and he was made the caliph. He was now the
caliph
of the muslims. He then sent Obaidullah with 70,000 soldiers to kill Mukhtar.
Mukhtar came to Medina again after Yazid died for permission and again was
denied. He
was then doing Ishan in Medina. Allama Majlisi says in his book that Mukhtar was
reading
dua. A stranger in a white dress came in and said that there is a letter with us
given by
Moula Ali. The signs showed that you are Mukhtar and I just wanted to confirm
this.
The letter said that the prayers of the Ahle bait are with you. My salaam on you
Mukhtar.
He then took the letter to Mohammed Hanafiya and they rushed to the 4th Imam and
the
letter was given to the Imam. The incident of Harra had happened and the Imam
could not
give open permission. If he had done this then the work would be from the house
of ahle
baith. The Imam called his slave and said that give my white horse as a gift to
Mukhtar.
Mukhtar saw this as permission. Mukhtar needed permission from the Imam to do
battle
against the enemies of ahle baith. He went to kufa and collected a huge army. On
thursday
14 rabi ul awwal the sign was if a fire was lit on his house then the permission
has been
granted. Abdullah Ibne Mati was govener. Obaidullah is advancing with 70,000
men. On
thursday Ibraheem son of Malik E Ashtar was going for a meeting with Mukhtar.
Ayas bine
Mazahir a policeman of the government arrested Ibraheem. Ibraheem said my intent
is not
to fight and I am going to meet my friend I do not have any weapons and no
friends. Ayas
said that if you walk down this path then I will kill you. Ayas said that I know
you are the
son of Malik E Ashtar. Ibraheem said how do you dare to threaten me. He called
the
soldier behind Ashtar and hit him so hard on his head that his brain came out of
his
mouth. Then he snatched the soldiers spear and attacked Ayas and killed him and
tossed
him in the air. Then he called the other soldeir and commanded him to cut off
Ayas's
head. All others ran. Then he walked to Mukhtar's house approximately at 10 pm.
When
Mukhatar saw the head of Ayas he said why did you do this. Mukhtar said that a
wise man
like you Ibraheem should not have done this. Ibraheem said I was threatened.
Ibraheem
said light the fire and cry. When the fire is lit before thursday then all were
to think that
this is someone cheating. Therefore they had to go to all the houses and tell
the shia and
soon 7000 men marched to the court of the governer. An army of 4000 with the
younger
brother of Ayas came. Mukhtar cut them down like carrots. Then he made Abdullah
Ibne
Mati dress in the dress of women and sent him back. This man had helped Mukhtar
and
therefore he made him dress in the clothes of a woman as the shia of Ali do not
attack
women. The enemies of Ali still know this and they know that if they dress in
the clothes
of women they will be safe from the shia of Ali.
Mukhtar now ruled in kufa. He called for the arrest of the enemies of Hussain.
The poet
was caught and the details of the oppressors were obtained. Then they annonced
that we
have no connection with Hussain or his blood. Then we invite all of you to come
and join
our rule.
They first caught Omar Ibne Saad and told him that he would be made the governer
and
call all your friends and we will honor them. This was a strategy to bring other
enemies
out in the open. This does not mean that he made friends with the enemies of
Hussain. All
the enemies came out to meet Mukhtar. He had a great party. In private he was
very angry
and said this to Ibraheem. Soon they gathered intelligence.
Abduallah Ibne Mati then attacked with an army of 40,000. The battle raged for
18 days on
the bank of the river Furaat. Khalid bine Suleiman a 16 year old attacked so
bravely that
he went to the small gathering around Mati and he was killed.
Ibne Ziad is approaching with an army of 70,000. The governer of Mecca Abdullah
Ibne
Zubair with Amil Ibne Murra with an army of 36,000 came against Mukhtar. Mukhtar
had
an army of 30,000 and was outnumbered clearly. He killed them all and then
killed the
enemies of Hussain this is proof that the will of Allah was with him.
There was a wound on Obaidullah's thigh. As he cursed the head of Hussain a drop
of
blood fell on the thigh of this person and the thigh had a wound till the day of
his death.
There was a stench from this hole in his thigh. This man in the dark of the
night met
Ibraheem. Ibraheem killed Ibne Ziad. When the torch was lit the stench of the
blood of
Ibne Ziad was in the air. Many men became shia. Many christians including Tarsa
became
shia and this man said that there is in the bible the story of Mukhtar.
For a price of 80,000 dhiram Mukhtar bought the chair on which Imam Ali sat. He
put this
chair on the throne and he himself sat on the floor. Whenever he had to give a
judgment
he put his hand on the chair.
Hakkam bine tohfail and Abdullah ibne kamil e ansari. Hakkam bine tohfail was
the man
who cut off the hands of Hazrat Abbas. He was a co brother in law of Abduallah
ibne
kamil e ansari. She tried hard to free him from Mukhtar. When the uncle of the
prophet
Abu Lahab was not really the relative of the prophet then what of this person?
Abduallah ibne kamil e ansari told Mukhtar and this man was caught and killed.
Shimr bine zee joshan how was this accursed man killed. Tikrit is a name you
might have
heard. This tikrit has always been full of the enemies of the ahle bait. When
the caravan
went to shaam it went via tikrit. This Shimr ran from Kufa once he found what
Mukhtar was
up to. He sought protection from another and none wanted to protect him. They
were all
afraid of Mukhtar. All the houses that protected the enemies of Hussain would be
burned
to the ground by Mukhtar. 120,000 had gone to karbala why were more than 300,000
killed. Did you not hear the ziarat e warisa all those who heard of karbala
should be killed.
Now today there is no emir of shaam but the message of Hussain does not go into
the
heart of some people.
Recently the saudi and kuwaiti 'scholars' gave orders to destroy some of the
rauda. They
do not understand how 1000s collect in karbala without any arrangement. There
are many
volunteers who collect to arrange the majalis of Hussain.
Where did this volunteer spirit come from. A physician an engineer arrange the
shoes in
the center. Where did this come from? This is from the blood of ones mother.
This is
transferred from one to the other. Syeed and Zuhair are two names. Some are
arranging
food and they miss the majalis. Syeed and Zuhair said lets do our salaat later
lets protect
Imam Hussain and let him pray while we stop the arrows.
Syeed and Zuhair how did they protect Imam Hussain. They stood in front of Imam
Hussain. But not even Ali Akbar, Abbas or any of the 18 bani hashim got hurt
either. What
of the arrows shot from Yazid's army? They threw themselves in front of the
arrows to
stop them. If there is a low barrier and the car goes under it you bow to avoid
hitting the
barrier. Instintively you would move away from the arrow. These two men fought
this
instinct so much that they never let an arrow reach the men behind them. They
did two
jehad the little one and the big one at the same time. They stopped the arrows
(little
jehad) and fought their instinct (big jehad).
The sawaab of picking up a single glass in the center has a great reward.
The enemies of Hussain are caught by Mukhtar. A message was brougth to him that
shimr
was hiding in tikrit. He was a brave man. He had killed more than 500 shia while
he was
being caught. An army of 10,000 went with Abduallah ibne kamil e ansari to find
him.
There were many small stores that sold tea and food and men went there to
gossip.
Abduallah went to one of these places and found a clue of shimr. One man said
that he
saw an ugly man and fell of the ladder as I saw this man. Abdullah realized that
this is an
enemy of the ahle bait. Imam Ali says in the najjul Balagaha that a smiling face
is a reward
from Allah.
Abdullah then asked where this dark faced man is? He said I am searching for
this man.
The man took him to the place where shimr was hidden. The house was surrounded.
He
was sinning and was caught in this state. He was taken in the same state to
Mukhtars
court.
Ibraheem stood up and said I am the commander of your army Mukhtar. I have never
asked you a favor I want Shimr as a reward from you. Mukhtar said that you asked
me
such a thing and I give you shimr in reward. Ibraheem will revenge on shimr
after juma.
Two big containers in which once could make sugarcane juice were filled with
olive oil and
this was brought to boling hot in one bowl in the other ice cold water. Shimr
was not
wearing any clothes due to the condition in which he was caught. He was tied
hand and
foot. He was taken like a captured wild animal on a stick. The crowd was
waiting to see
what would happen to the one who beheaded Imam Hussain. Many do not want to hear
the name of Mukhtar how could they? They had some blood of shimr.
Ibraheem commanded that shimr be brought to the boiling olive oil container.
Shimr was
brought there. Ibraheem commanded that he be picked up and dipped in the hot oil
and
removed right away. Shimr begged for forgiveness. Ibraheem said are you
thrirsty. Shimr
tongue was hanging out with thirst. Boiling hot olive oil was poured into his
mouth. Then
he was dipped in boiling oil and then put in ice water. Shimr needed 6 soldiers
to hold him
down due to the pain. From the afternoon till the time of maghrib this was
repeated but
shimr did not die. Ibraheem asked why do you not die shimr. Shimr said that
when he had
slapped sakina when she asked for water she had cursed him that death would run
from
you and you will beg for death. Zainab had also cursed him. He was cut into
small bits but
he was alive. He was made into bits and fried in olive oil and he remained alive
until his
throat was cut. This is the punishment of Allah in this world. What of his
punishment when
the 12th Imam comes and what of the punishment in the hereafter.
The enemies of Hussain were caught and questioned what they did in karbala.
When shimr was asked this question he replied with a long list. How did you dare
to kill
Hussain and not have pity on him? Was there any oppression that you felt sad?
Shimr said
yes there was such a time. May Allah curse Shimr and his progeny. Shimr said
that when
Hussain fell to the ground and his sister was weeping and complaining. She said
that oh
ground of karbala rise up so that I may see my brother. The ground rose up.
Shimr said he
took a flaming sword and approached Hussain. Hussain was in sajdah as Shimr came
forward he raised his head and asked him to loosen his neck dress. Hussain said
my
grandfather had said that your muderer will look like a pig and your liver will
be white.
Hussain said you are my murderer. Shimr got angry and he did not want to kill
him with a
sharp sword. Then shimr struck the stones with his sword and made it blunt and
there
were many nicks in the sword. When he pulled this blunt and nicked sword across
his
throat then the sinews of hussain got stuck in the sword. When Shimr struck the
stones
with his sword Hussain called to his father and grandfather. Shimr said that
when he
struck the stones with his sword then I felt sad. When he struck Hussain for the
17th time
Hussain cried oh my brother Abbas. Then on the 17th stroke Hussain was beheaded
and
dark storms came and the earth shook. The voice of Fatima was heard weeping for
Hussain.
May Allah curse the oppressors---.
