﷽

As the mournful crescent moon of Muharram nears its descend upon us; the Muslim Ummah eagerly prepares for the spiritual rejuvenation of body, mind and soul.

Good literature teaches you how to think.

Bad literature tells you what to think.

ya Rabb, bas koi aake ticket aur ground package haath mein de jaye, “Jao Hira, Arbaeen kar aao”

Do people who don't mourn in Muharram ever consider what was so unique about Karbala that inspired centuries of prose and poetry? 🤔

Reading literature for six months will improve your writing more than six years of writing workshops.

The beauty of Farsh e Aza lies in its power to dismantle egos. The moment you step onto it worldly status,wealth n social hierarchies instantly evaporate.Everyone sits on the same floor,shoulder to shoulder. Your only remaining identity is Azadar and Hussaini that's real equality

Jaun, The Freed Retainer of Abu Zarr

Imam Husayn told him: "I give you permission to leave. You were with us in times of happiness, do not imprison yourself in our difficulty."

Jaun replied:
"O son of the Prophet, I have been feeding at your place in days of ease. How can I desert you in hardship? My sweat smells foul, my lineage is low, my color is dark. Then permit me Paradise, so that my smell may become fragrant, my lineage noble, and my face illuminated. By Allah, I shall not leave until this black blood of mine mixes with your pure blood."

He fought and killed twenty-five men before he was martyred.

Imam Husayn came and stood at his head and said:
"O Allah, illuminate his face, make his smell fragrant, include him among the devout ones, and make him known near Your Muhammad."

Imam Baqir narrates: when people came to bury the martyrs ten days later, the body of Jaun was found emanating the fragrance of musk.
The prayer was answered. The nose confirmed it.

The ‘panja’ was a relic destined to become a part of our family’s Imambargah established by Amma in 1998.

Sometimes I wonder if I will ever remove the binding of my ‘mannat’ from since the past 10 years; the only solace attained is from knowing the innumerable ‘mannats’ fulfilled of Azadaar by the will of Allah (SWT) with the intercession of Imam Ali (AS)

[HiraHyderScribbles @HiraHyder]

This particular ‘panja’ was gifted to Baba by a khuddam from Najaf which had been placed within the shrine of Imam Ali (AS) for many years — when Baba had received it, him and Amma had not even crossed paths in life, let alone be married!

After reciting a noha, the utmost adorable little girl tugged at my dupatta and said in her accented Urdu, “Aap ne bohat acha noha parha” and shyly giggled placing both of her tiny hands on her face

my heart constricted and eyes welled up; thinking of Sukayna bint Hussain (AS)💔

This is a reminder that the truth is often standing alone.

However, despite ‘strength’ of numbers as per the dunya;

“And He honours whom He wills, and He disgraces whom He wills.” — Quran 3:26

Never, ever be fooled by numbers.

For Allah (SWT) shall always honour the truthful

On the 4th of Muharram, Qazi Shureh issued a fatwa to kiIl Imam Hussain (AS), which after about 18,000 apparent ‘muftis’ followed to issue the very same and pursue barbarically.

MULAN was released 28 years ago today.

To make the film feel authentic, Disney sent artists to China to study its landscapes, architecture, & culture firsthand. Many of the movie’s backgrounds were inspired by sketches and photos from that research trip.
