GOD AND THE HOLY FAMILY
Almighty God appointed Muhammad as His Messenger to Humanity. God gave Prophet Muhammad His Holy Throne. He stood and preached the Truth. He Guided Mankind. Peace is on Prophet and his Holy Family.
When the Prophet died, he appointed Ali as his Successor. Ali married Prophet’s daughter Fatima. Some people did not like Ali. They envied Ali. They disobeyed the Prophet during his life. They gave him many problems. Now they opposed Ali. A plan was made to grab the power away from Ali. The plan succeeded. Ali was busy with washing dead body of Prophet and his enemies rushed to chose another leader. Prophet’s orders were thus defied. The Throne of Prophet was stolen.
Tyrants one after another sat upon the Holy Throne. Dictators tried to force Ali to submit. They murdered anyone who loved Prophet and Ali. For example, Moaweya was an enemy of the Prophet. He ruled by suppression and murder. Moaweya planned to turn the public against Ali. He ordered prayer leaders to curse Ali and give him bad name during sermons. Moaweya killed the Allies of Ali. Moweya then assassinated Ali in order to secure his Empire. Moaweya then put the two sons of Ali in his Satanic Sight. Hasan and Husayn were Holy Grandsons of the Prophet. They were the Second and Third Heirs to the Divine Throne. Moaweya had Hasan killed. Before he could kill Husayn, an illness overtook him. On his death bed, Moaweya told his son Yazid to get rid of Husayn.
Yazid, like his father before him, hated the Prophet and his family. When he became King, he demanded recognition from Husayn. Husayn refused to Bow to Yazid. Yazid ordered his governor to kill Husayn. Husayn knew he had to get his family out of
Husayn took all his family and headed for the border. Husayn could not longer live in Satan's Kingdom. Yazid ordered His General Omar to pursue Husayn's caravan across the hot desert. Yazid's army stopped Husayn at
Omar tried to force Husayn to accept Yazid. He cut off the water supply for his family including children. Husayn and his Holy Family was thirsy. They had no access to the River. Husayn did not give up. He was firm on Truth. Husayn did not leave God. Husayn was ready to sacrifice his life for God. Husayn refused to submit to an Evil Ruler. Husayn’s family were also with Husayn. They supported him in his cause of justice and freedom. Husayn said, I will never accept a tyrant as a legitimate ruler; because to side with evil is same as being evil. Husayn and his Family were prepared to suffer and die for God.
Husayn stood before the army of Yazid. He warned them not to do injustice to him and his family. Husayn asked Genral Omar to give some water for his children. The General said no water, not a drop, must be given to Husayn or his children, until Husayn pledges loyalty to Yazid. Husayn again rejected the demand to accept Yazid. General Omar now gave orders for the killing of Husayn.
Husayn had with him only 100 men. General Omar has 10,000 soldiers. Situation was hopeless. Husayn and his men tried to defend themselves but the odds were too high. Slaughter of Prophet’s Holy Family began in the
Husayn and his little baby were left on the battlefield. Husayn held his six month old son in his arms. The baby was crying with thirst. Husayn showed the baby to the army and said them what crime has this child done; will you give him for some water. One soldier fired an arrow at the baby. It pierced the infant’s neck. Husayn was now alone. The army killed Husayn. Husayn’s chest was full of arrows as he fell from his horse. He had sacrificed his life to save humanity from the growing Evil Empire. Omar wanted to take the head of Husayn as trophy to Yazid. Omar ordered soldiers to cut the head from Husayn’s body. They cut his head and also cut heads from 72 other men and children. Omar then ran horses over the bodies of Martyrs. It was day of Ashura, 10th of Moharram, October of year 680. Today, millions of people all over the world mourn the killing of Husayn and his family. God blesses those who honour Husayn and his sacrifice.
Only the ladies in tents survived to massacre. Omar chained the women and forced them to walk to Yazid. Husayn’s pious sister Lady Zaynab stood before Yazid. In his palace, Zaynab gave a defiant speech. She told the people what Yazid had done and what kind of ruler he was. When the public came to know of Zaynab’s words, the Empire of Yazid was shaken. It eventually fell apart. God bless Muhammad and his Family.
