While Sunni Islam venerates Imam Husayn (a) as the beloved grandson of the Prophet (s) it paradoxically regards his uprising against Yazid as a strategic mistake—arguing that although Yazid was morally bankrupt, rebellion against an established ruler invites chaos and must be avoided.
Scholars like Ibn Taymiyyah cite the advice of figures like Ibn Abbas and Ibn Umar, suggesting Husayn should have remained silent for the sake of unity.
Yet what’s striking is that this same commitment to political order is mysteriously absent when it comes to those who fought Imam Ali (a).
Rather than being labeled as rebels (bughāt), their actions are generously interpreted as sincere but mistaken ijtihād. This inconsistency reveals an uncomfortable truth: The desire to shield the legacy of some companions has, at times, blurred the lines between loyalty to individuals and loyalty to the truth.
اللّہ ربّ العزت کا شکر ہے کہ اس نے پاکستان کو سر بلند کیا۔ میں، وزیر اعظم پاکستان شہباز شریف، فوج کے سپہ سالار جنرل سید عاصم منیر، چیف آف ائیر سٹاف ائیر چیف مارشل ظہیر سندھو اور افواجِ پاکستان کو شاباش اور مبارکباد دیتا ہوں۔ پاکستان امن پسند ملک ہے اور امن کو ترجیح دیتا ہے مگر اپنا دفاع کرنا بھی جانتا ہے۔
پاکستان زندہ باد 🇵🇰
