Moulana Payam Azmi Majalis 5
Audio online at http://majalis.mypodcast.com
There are many oppressors who tried to stop the zikr of Hussain. From 1000s of
minbars
the zikr was stopped. Yet the zikr of the ahle baith is going on. The grave of
Hussain was
destroyed or tried to be destroyed yet the zikr goes on. In the time of the
osmanis the
same oppression continued but the zikr of ahle baith went on. Muttawakil Hajjaj
came and
went as did Saffa. Haroon Rashid tried to stop the zaireen of the Imam and he
failed. The
zikr of Hussain continues. This is the victory of Hussain and Zaianb. This is
the victory of
Karbala. No power in the universe can stop this. Many other flags came and went
but the
flag of Abbas goes on. This is as this flag is raised by the power o Allah. The
one whom
Allah gives honor none can dishonor. Honor does not come from material things.
The one
who is given honor by Allah has honor despite the fact that he is fasting, in
prison or
being oppressed. None can take the honor away from him. Yazid is dishonored but
the
ahle baith are not.
We are the representative of Hussain and declaring the victory of Karbala. The
victroy of
Karbala is being shown by our tears. These tears destroyed the super-power of
the time of
our 4th Imam.
The tears did not cut the throat of one oppressor but cut the throat of all
oppressors.
The caravan of tears has now arrived at USA after 1400 years. Today is the
arbaeen of
Hussain. The ones crying for Hussain came to Karbala. From that day on the
caravan of
tears and the one visiting karbala has not stopped yet. Imam Zain Ul Abedeen
went to
karbala. Jabir Ibne Abduallah was doing dua at the grave of Hussain. A voice
came from
the grave and it said Jabbir move away from the grave my sister is coming to
visit me. He
ran to see the caravan and saw the imam of the time leading the caravan with a
bowed
head. Jabbir said that he had gone to the grave of Hussain to do fateha.
The 4th Imam took off his shoes and said jabbir you do not see what I see the
ground has
the ayat of Allah the drops of blood from Abbas, Ali Akbar and Hussain on the
earth.
There is such silence that it looks that the ones who cry for Hussain have
decreased. The
cries of children are no longer heard. There were at least 82 children who left
karbala and
why were there no more crying children when they returned. This is as the
children fell off
the galloping camels and were buried where they fell and died. The last child to
die was
bibi sakina in the prison. As the camels got to karbala the ladies made
themselves fall off
the camels and they looked for the graves of their brave warriors. Umme Laila
looked for
Ali Akbar's grave. Umme Rabaab asked where is Ali Asghar? Umme Rabab was taken
to his
grave.
The bibis did matam for many days and they read nauhas. Zaianb did not cry. She
had all
the responsibility. When Umme Laila cried a lot she consoled her. When Umme
Rabab
cried she did the same. Zainab did not have the chance to cry. Umme Rabaab was
not
getting up and Zaianab asked her to come home. She replied my household is
buried here
leave me here.
Give Salaam to Zainab. She has not had a chance to cry so far. If the leader of
the house
cries then who will console the younger people. From the day of ashoor Zainab
did not
have a chance to cry she was the one in charge. On the day of ashoor she did not
cry. On
the shaam e ghariban she did not cry as this would make Sakina and the others
hopeless.
She did not cry on the way that the caravan took. Where she gave her speech
others cried
but she did not. She asked all to be patient. When she read the first majalis
she did not cry
and made others cry. When the caravan returned to Medina and she saw the house.
The
house is made of relations and not of bricks and stone. The biggest relation in
a wives life
is the children the marriage the siblings nephews nieces. The bibis who went to
karbala
had all these relatives with them. When they returned to Medina all these
relatives were
lost. Zainab alone was consoling all. She took the Imam in and helped him rest.
She took
all of them back to their rooms and helped them be patient.
When more than half the night had passed then Zainab could not bear any more.
She saw
that all had fallen asleep. She could not bear any longer. She remembered her
mother bibi
fatima. She stood up and put her chador on and using a stick opened the door
carefully
and went toward Jannatul Baqi. She went alone. Where did she leave Abbas Ali
Akbar Aun
and Mohammed. She went to Baqi could not walk and crawled to her mothers grave.
She
fell on the grave like infants fall in the laps of their mothers. She said
mother I have
returned from karbala. Let me tell you what happened there. My borhter picked up
the bits
of Qasims body. My thirsty brotehr was beheaded by Shimr with a blunt sword. My
mother
look at my wounds. She showed in the dark night her wounds to her mother. The
marks of
whips on her body the marks of spears. The grave of Fatima shivered and sounds
of tears
were heard. She said zainab hide your wounds or Fatima may curse the oppressors
