"The 4th of Muharram is remembered by some as one of the darkest days in history, when eighteen thousand jurists of the time were said to have endorsed the decree for the killing of Imam Hussain (AS)."💔

2nd Muharram – The Caravan of Imam Hussain (AS) Enters Karbala
On the 2nd of Muharram, 61 AH (680 CE), the caravan of Imam Hussain (AS), the beloved grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), arrived at the land of Karbala. Upon reaching this desolate plain by the banks of the Euphrates, Imam Hussain (AS) asked about the name of the place. When informed that it was called Karbala, he reflected upon its meaning
“Karb” (sorrow) and “Bala” (trial)—and said,
“This is the land of grief and tribulation.”
It was here that the Imam, along with his family members, companions, women, and children, would face one of the greatest sacrifices in human history. Karbala became the stage where truth stood against tyranny, justice against oppression, and faith against worldly power.
The arrival of the caravan on the 2nd of Muharram marks the beginning of the final chapter of Imam Hussain’s (AS) mission to preserve the true teachings of Islam. Despite knowing the hardships ahead, he remained steadfast in his commitment to uphold truth, dignity, and divine principles.
As we remember this day, we reflect upon the timeless message of Karbala: to stand for justice, defend the oppressed, and never compromise truth for the sake of worldly gain.
“Indeed, I have risen to seek reform in the nation of my grandfather.” – Imam Hussain (AS)
For those that did takfir on us and those that doubted us, how does it feel that it's the Shi'a of Ali who brought happiness to the hearts of the Palestinians?
Malikatul Arab was the ideal woman, the ideal wife for the Seal of Prophets, Prophet Muhammad (saw), and the ideal mother.
As the saying goes “Islam did not rise except through Ali’s sword and Khadija’s wealth.”
Peace and blessings upon Lady Khadijah (S.A) 🌹
Four greatest women of the world are: Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, Fatimah bint Muhammad, Mary bint Emran and Asiya bint Muzahim, the wife of Pharaoh.”
Khadija tul Kubra (sa), combined in her person all those attribute, which add up to perfection.
Lady Khadija (sa) was one of the greatest women of the world and her rank is as high as the great Mary/Maryam the mother of Prophet Jesus/Isa (pbuh).
Prophet Muhammad (saw) says about her:
Genesis 17:20 (God speaking to Abraham):
“And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve Princes, and I will make him into a great nation.”
The twelfth is the Mahdi
When Imam Hussein brought the body of Imam Hassan to the house of his grandfather, the Prophet, the wicked woman who sat on a saddle declared:
"نحّوا ابنكم عن بيتي"
“Move your son away from my house”! (Al-Kafi vol. 1, pp. 302)
She then ordered archers to shoot them with arrows!
Leader of the Islamic revolution Ayatullah Sayed Ali Khamenei -
“If you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain and you hope from Allah what they do not hope.” [The Holy Quran, 4: 104] If you suffer pain in this battle, the enemy also suffers pain.
The Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) said, “A person who hears a Muslim’s cries for help but fails to respond, is not a Muslim.”.… And today it is not just a single individual who is crying for help: it is an entire nation.”

Ayatullah Khamenei summarises the view of the Prophet (s) and relates it to our responsibility towards the oppressed:
“…they have a duty to respond to an oppressed nation’s cries for help….
