Culture
of Ashura Triumphs over Neo-Yazidis
Condolences dear young friends, and may God grant you the
patience, courage, and determination to firmly tread the
path of the Immortal Martyr of Karbala.
Imam Husain (AS) stands as the eternal barometer, of not
just faith, but of all humanitarian values.
In other words, it is on the basis of our love and respect
for his egalitarian ideals that we are proud to say we are
human beings with proper cognizance of the Almighty Creator.
Otherwise, despite our powers of the intellect and speech,
we will be considered worse than beasts.
This is the message of the epic of Ashura that we
commemorated last Sunday in Iran and throughout the world
(in the subcontinent on Monday because of the sighting of
the Muharram crescent a day later there).
We are Muslims, and we are honoured to call ourselves the
followers of the Ahl al-Bayt of Prophet Muhammad (SAWA)
because of our adherence to the indomitable qualities
enshrined by Imam Husain (AS) on the sands of Karbala in 61
AH.
These qualities inspire our ladies to observe Hijab; our
youth to spurn the depraved culture of the West; our men and
women to instill the ingredients of faith in children; our
masses to build morally sound society that is neither
dependent on the east nor on the west; our experts to
explore new vistas of science and technology; and our
scholars and ulema to establish the sacred system of the
Islamic Republic based on the dynamic concept of Velayat-e
Faqih – that has its source in the God-given Velayat of the
Prophet and the Infallible Imams.
No wonder, Yazidi forces today hate us since they find
themselves disgraced and defeated forever in every age and
clime, and in every form and shape.
This was the prime reason for last Sunday's futile attempt
by a group of neo-Yazidis, dancing to the satanic tunes of
the West, to desecrate the sanctity of the holy day of
Ashura in Tehran.
While most of the people of Tehran were at Mosques and
Husainiyahs commemorating the martyrs of Karbala, these
hellhounds, applauded by their devilish masters in the US
and West Europe, looted banks and shops, attacked the few
unarmed policemen on duty, burned private cars, roadside
trash bins, and bus stops and damaged buildings.
These morally loose vandals (of both sexes) clapped,
whistled and danced in the streets of Tehran – at a time
when the nation was busy mourning Imam Husain (AS) – and
chanted the most blasphemous slogans against Islamic
sanctities in the manner of Shemr and other dastardly
enemies of humanity.
May God curse them and inflict them with Divine Wrath as the
famous Persian proverb says: Har ke ba Aal-e Ali dar oftaad,
war oftad (Whoever dares to offend the house of Ali will
soon be swept into oblivion).
Goodbye and take care. We will be meeting you today
afternoon in Tehran in the nationwide rallies the tens of
millions of Iranian Muslims will stage against this
desecration of the sanctity of Ashura by the neo-Yazidis.
