The Heart-Breaking Final Moments of Imam Husayn (AS)

Recognising one of the vivid manifestations of the all-comprehensive mercy of lmam al-Husayn (AS) who yearns for the emancipation of everyone, even his evil enemies.

On the day of Ashura, Shimr (la) was heavily intoxicated with the love of the world. When 'Umar Ibn Sa'd asked his soldiers to behead Imam al-Husayn (AS), it is narrated that none was able to do it save Shimr. Before Shimr severes the blessed head of Imam al-Husayn (AS), the Imam (AS) has a powerful conversation with him. Historical records tell us:

Then 'Umar Ibn Sa'd shouted: "Who will bring for me his head, and he would have what he would relish?"

Shimr: "I, O Ameer!"

'Umar Ibn Sa'd: "Hurry up, and you will have the greatest reward."

Thereupon Shimr approached Imam al-Husayn (AS), who was in the state of unconsciousness. He drew near to him and sat on his chest. Feeling the weight on him, Imam al-Husayn (“a) [looked up at him and] said:

"Woe be unto you, who are you, for indeed you have ascended an exalted peak!"

Shimr said: "It is Shimr."

Imam al-Husayn (AS) replied: "Woe be unto you, who am I?"

Shimr replied: "You are Husayn ibn 'Ali, the son of Fatimah al-Zahra, and your grandfather is Muhammad, the chosen one."

Imam al-Husayn (AS) said: "If you know that this is my lineage and root, why then are you killing me?"

Shimr replied: "If I do not kill you, who then will take the reward from Yazid?"

Imam al-Husayn (AS) then asked: "Which one is more lovable to you, reward from Yazid or the intercession of my grandfather the Apostle of Allah (s)?"

Shimr replied: "A daniq (1/6 of a dirham or a small coin) of the reward is more lovable to me than you and your grandfather."

Imam al-Husayn (AS) then said: "If you insist on killing me, then at least give me a sip of water."

Shimr said: "Never! By Allah, you will not taste a drop of water until you taste death in the state of continual agony."

Imam al-Husayn (AS) replied to Shimr: "Woe be unto you! Unveil for me your face and stomach."
Shimr unveils his face and stomach, and he appears spotted and leprous, resembling dogs and pigs.
Imam al-Husayn (AS) then said: "My grandfather was right in what he said."

Shimr said: "And what did your grandfather say?"

Imam al-Husayn (AS) replied: Addressing my father, he said:
"O Ali, a leprous and spotted person who most resembles dogs and pigs will kill this son of yours."

This made Shimr furious, and he said: "You liken me with dogs and pigs? By Allah, I will slaughter you from the back of your neck!"

ثم قلبه على وجهه، وجعل يقطع أوداجه روحي له الفداء، وهو ينادي:
وا جداه! وا محمداه! وا أبا قاسماه! وا أبتاه وا علياه! أأقتل عطشانا وجدي محمد المصطفى؟ أأقتل عطشانا وأبي علي المرتضى، وأمي فاطمة الزهراء؟

Then he turned the Imam's face, and began severing the jugular vein (may my spirit be ransomed for him) as he [the Imam] called out:

"O my grandfather! O Muhammad! O Abal Qasim, O dear father! O 'Ali! Should I be killed thirsty while my grandfather is Muhammad al-Mustafa? Should I be killed thirsty while my father is 'Ali al- Murtadā, and my mother Fatimah al-Zahra'?"

(Mawsu'at Kalimat Al-Imam al-Husayn, page 617 - 618, translated by Shaykh Muhammad M. Khalfan)

Indeed we belong to Allah and to Him alone we shall return. (2:156)

أَعْظَمَ ٱللَّهُ أُجُورَنَا بِمُصَابِنَا بِٱلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلاَمُ، وَجَعَلَنَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ مِنَ ٱلطَّالِبِينَ بِثَأْرِهِ، مَعَ وَلِيِّهِ ٱلإِمَامِ ٱلْمَهْدِيِّ مِنَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّلاَمُ
May Allah double up our rewards on account of our sorrow for (the martyrdom of) al-Husayn (AS) and may He include you and us with those who shall take revenge upon his killers with his blood-claimer; Imam al-Mahdi, who belongs to the Household of Muhammad, peace be upon them all.

Why is Karbala still relevant today?

وفاؤك للإمام الحسين (عليه السلام) ليس دمعةً فقط، بل موقف… أن تترك الظلم حيثما كان، وأن تقف مع الحق ولو كلفك ذلك الكثير.

Imam Ali's Treatment Of His Servant Qanbar

After becoming khalifah, Imam Ali came to the bazar with his servant Qanbar. He approached a clothes shop to purchase two shirts, one priced at three dirhams and the other at two.

Afterwards, he gave the more expensive one to his servant...

في تلك اللحظة، لم يكن خُروجُ الإمام الباقر (عليه السلام) من الخيمة مجرّد خطوة، بل كان عبوراً من براءة البدايات إلى عُمق المصاب، وقفَ ينظر، والسماءُ كأنها تحبس أنفاسها، والأرضُ ترتجفُ من ثِقَل الفاجعة، وعيناهُ تحملان مشهداً أكبر من السنين وأوجع من الوصف.
هناك حيث كان الإمام الحسينُ (عليه السلام)، لم يرَ جسداً يُثخن بالجراح، بل رأى ديناً يُذبح ليبقى حيّاً، فارتدّ بخطواتٍ مثقلة، يحمل في قلبه وداعاً لا يُقال، وفي ذاكرته صورةً ستبقى تُعلّم الدنيا كيف يكون الفقدُ طريقاً للخلود.

A new flag was raised above the luminous dome amid ceremonial drum beating on the blessed birth anniversary of Imam Reza (as).

Last year, martyred Imam Khamenei (RA) led the largest Eid prayer in the world under direct threat of #EpsteinCoalition assassination. He cried before millions, not hidden in bunkers. That is the difference between a leader who trusts God and one who fears death and follows evil.

The Shia are not asking the lands of Ahlul Sunnah to become Shia.

They are asking Ahlul Sunnah to be true Sunnis, to stand as one ummah, and to struggle in the way of Allah against American and Israeli imperialism.

I was raised among Ahlul Sunnah from childhood. I know what lives in your hearts. We have seen the lions of Gaza, their courage, their faith, and their sacrifice.

So when will you rise, my brothers?

[Shaykh Azhar Nasser @ShaykhAzhar]

With Eid al-Fitr upon us, we must take a moment to reflect on the condition of our ummah:
Let our joy be tempered with conscience. Let’s have the decency to tone down the festive atmosphere a bit. We cannot celebrate fully while our brothers and sisters are being slaughtered. Let our hearts remember them.
