The Steadfastness of Imam Hussain (AS) is a Movement of Awakening Against the Forces of Falsehood in Every Era
The Teachings of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) are the Alchemical Formula for Unity in the Ummah: President of Minhaj-ul-Quran International
The President of Minhaj-ul-Quran International, Professor Dr. Hussain Mohiuddin Qadri, stated that the philosophy of the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (AS) is essentially a message of the preservation of faith, unity of the Ummah, and moral revolution.
He said that Imam Hussain (AS) rejected the Yezidi style of governance and made it clear to the Ummah that religion cannot coexist with oppression and tyranny. The event of Karbala, he said, is a monumental and unforgettable chapter in Islamic history that has clearly distinguished between truth and falsehood. The sacrifice of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) holds a unique place in the history of humanity. Imam Hussain (AS) sacrificed everything for the preservation of the faith of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), he said.
Prof. Dr. Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri expressed these thoughts while addressing a thought-provoking session held at the Minhaj-ul-Quran Secretariat. He further said that the steadfastness of Imam Hussain (AS) is not only for that time but is a movement of awakening against the forces of falsehood in every era. He added that the sacrifice of Imam Hussain (AS) was for the dignity of humanity, the greatness of the faith, and the revival of moral principles.
The President of Minhaj-ul-Quran International stated that the greatness of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) has been highlighted by the Quran. Whether it is the verse of Tathir or the verse of Mubahila, the Quran has emphasized the purity, piety, and greatness of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) at every turn. The love for Ahl al-Bayt (AS) is the root of faith. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Hussain is from me, and I am from Hussain." What could be a greater proof of the virtue of love for Ahl al-Bayt (AS)?
Professor Dr. Hussain Mohiuddin Qadri mentioned that in today’s era, it is essential for us to implement the message of Karbala in our practical lives. Courage against oppression, the courage to speak the truth, and steadfastness for justice are the teachings of Imam Hussain (AS). He further said that the decline of the Muslim Ummah began when they severed their practical connection with Ahl al-Bayt (AS). The teachings of Ahl al-Bayt (AS), their ethics, their conduct, their patience and tolerance, are the alchemical formula for the unity of the Ummah. Incorporating the teachings of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) into life is the true form of love for them, he said.
Professor Dr. Hussain Mohiuddin Qadri emphasized that if the Ummah desires to rise again, it must adopt a Hussaini character. The Hussaini character is free of fear, full of sacrifice, and brimming with piety. He concluded by stating that in this sacred month, we should strive to mold our lives according to the ethics of Ahl al-Bayt (AS), avoid sectarianism, and promote unity and harmony.
