WHO IS GOD AND HOW HE GUIDES
God is not visible. He cannot be seen by human beings.
God does not have parents. He does not bear children.
God is one. He is not two or three or twenty.
There is only one true God alone. There is none other.
God is alone and unique. He has no equals and no partners.
God does create, and He does guide.
God sends angels and men as messengers to communicate His message to mankind.
God sent as His messengers to humanity Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus and Mohammed.
Muhammed is least understood and least appreciated although he is the greatest messenger from God to mankind. His enemies promote false propaganda about him even to this day.
Muhammed like all prophets and messengers of God revealed a simple message for the world. He taught people that idol worship is wrong and that they should love their true creator. He said there is life after death. God will gather the dead and bring them back to life on the day of judgement. They will be held to account. What did they do in their life and why. God will be their ultimate judge. He will bless good people with eternal life in Paradise. He will curse evil wicked people with eternal damnation in fire of Hell.
Here is brief life and character of Muhammed the holy messenger of God.
Muhammed was prophet of God. He was born in Mecca 570 years after Jesus. Peace be upon them both.
His parents died when he was still a child of 6. His uncle Abu Talib cared for him. When he reached 25 he married a rich widow Khadija. They had a happy and loving marriage.
When Muhammad was 40, God sent Angel Gabriel to ask him to begin his divine mission of reforming his people. Angel gave his God’s holy book the Koran. In this holy book, God confirms that He had sent holy books before Koran. But men had altered Torah. They changed the Gospel for selfish interests. Priests had added to and deleted from words of God in the Bible. But now, God had sent again his pure book Koran for guidance of mankind. In the Koran, God urges a person to live a life of justice and mercy. To live life of compassion and be fair to others is the heart of divine teachings in the holy Koran.
Angel Gabriel came and gave this message to Muhammed as he meditated in on top of a mountain. Muhammed came and told his wife and his family what had happened. His wife and few others converted but most rejected his message. At first they mocked him but after a while they began to persecute the messenger of God.
Muhammad simply asked them to believe in the true creator of the universe and love him. This was the only to happiness and salvation. But people began to oppress Muhammad and eventually drove him out of his city. He was given refuge in Medina in the north. He continued to preach God’s message for the world. He encouraged people to use their intellect and seek knowledge always. He taught respect for parents. He said paradise lies under your mother’s feet. If you do not please your own mother then you cannot please God. God will not be happy with you until your mother is happy with you. Chidlren therefore all love their parents and stay with them even in old age. Muhammed also taught immense care for neighbours. He said do not leave your neighbour hungry. If you eat food while your neighbour sleeps hungry, then you are not a believer of God. Muhammed reformed lives of many pagans.
Muhammad was attacked by his enemies. He defended himself and his followers. Enemies of truth did not like him or his teachings. They launched wars upon Muhammed. But God aided His holy messenger. With God's help Muhammad was able to defeat his enemies.
Eventually Muhammed died in 630 and left Ali as heir. Ali was married to Fatima, the daughter of Muhammed. Arabs hated Ali. They killed Ali and his children. Muhammed’s grandson Husayn was killed at Karbala simply for refusing to give allegiance to an evil dictator Yazid.
God bless Muhammed and his family.

Sinless Guides
-
ERROR-FREE TEACHERS
Shia Muslims believe in only those men who are chosen by God Almighty. This is because Guides selected by God provide us with accurate information about God and what He Wills and Commands.
Shias believe that every nation has its own Divine Guides sent by God. People of the world are provided with True Divine Guidance. God sent His teachers to all people on Earth. They all said God sent them as His Holy Messengers. Israelis had Moses. Iraqis had Abraham. India China
Who Changed Purity into Impurity
However, it is sad to say that over the centuries some liars had corrupted the message given by God. For example, the experts admit that the Holy Bible had been altered. Rabbis added their own words to the Torah. They fabricated lies to make God’s Prophets appear to be of bad character. Historians say that New Testament of Christians was also altered. Priests changed words of Jesus. Jesus claimed to be only a Messenger from God. But Paul made him into God. Paul and others after him changed the message of Jesus. Paul was an enemy of Jesus. He infiltrated Christians to mislead them. Many other selfish men invented a false accusation on Jesus and his Holy Mother. Original text of the Bible was corrupted. Some books from God were not even recognised by the priests of Jews and Christians. But God wants to restore His Pure Teachings. God sent Muhammad in the year 570 to deliver once again the Divine Teachings in their Original Purity. In the Holy Book called Quran [Koran], God has Perfected all the previous Messages that He had revealed since the beginning of history.
Short Summary of Teaching of Prophet Muhammad
Prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca
Holy Prophet taught that there is one True God who is Creator and Maintainer of the Universe. Prophet said we should believe in God and obey Him. We should submit to God. We should worship Him. We should live by His Laws. This is best for us. It leads to real happiness. Prophet told people what God wants from them. He taught us to live justly. He said, in your life be honest and act fairly towards others. Prophet taught respect for parents. He said, Paradise lies under the feet of the mother. He encouraged people to learn knowledge. He said; try to seek knowledge even if you have to go as far as China
Prophet told the people that when you die, you will stand before God. You will have to account for your actions. God will either reward you or punish you. There is Paradise and there is Fire of Hell.
Prophet died in 632. He left behind Quran as the book of God, and also one daughter.
God bless Prophet Muhammad and his holy descendents.
12 Guides
Shias believe that all Guides chosen by God are sinless and free from error. After Muhammad the final Messenger from God, the world was to be led by error-free Leaders called IMAMS in Arabic. There are Twelve Leaders in total. The 12 Imams are all Successors of Prophet Muhammad. The 12 Imams of Shias are pure of all sin and evil.
1. Imam Ali
2. Imam Hasan
3. Imam Husain
4. Imam Ali Zainulabideen
5. Imam Al Baqir
6. Imam Jafar Al Sadiq
7. Imam Musa Al Kazim
8. Imam Ali Al Reza
9. Imam Al Taqi
10. Imam Al Naqi
11. Imam Hasan Al Askari

Role Models
-
MUHAMMAD THE PERFECT ROLE MODEL
God sent Prophet Muhammad, a perfect role model to teach and guide humanity.
Prophet Muhammad was a good man. He was very honest. He never any lie. People of his community trusted him. People kept their valuables in his home. They knew that their goods will be safe with the Prophet. He was a very trustworthy man. Prophet was also very just. He always acted fairly. People used to call him to sort of disputes. If there was a fight among members of the community, the people called the Prophet to come and judge between them. They knew he would not take sides. Prophet would always hear everyone. He would give his own honest and fair judgement. People would accept Prophet’s final decision.
Prophet Muhammad taught three things to the people. (1) How to live a good live. (2) Who is the God the Creator of the Universe. (3) What would happen to the soul after death.
Holy Prophet said that God loves life of honesty and justice. If you live your life honestly you will be happy. Acting fairly and justly is what brings you peace of mind and happiness. Therefore, you should give up lying, cheating and deceiving others. You should try to speak the truth. You should behave as fairly as you can. When you grow old and die, you will go to heaven. But if you continue to lie to people, then God will not like you. People will not like you either. If you treat people unfairly, people will not like you either. If you did bad things in your life then you will be punished on Judgement Day. It comes in the next life. People will be resurrected by God. They will have to account for their actions.
Prophet said God is our Creator. He created the whole universe with a big bang. There is only one God. There are no other gods. He is the Greatest. He made the laws that run the universe. He created you in your mother's womb. God is the one who puts a soul in your body. God gave you life when you were tiny baby. God is perfect. God is not a physical thing. He is Light. Our eyes cannot see Him. God sees you all the time. He can hear you everywhere. He knows what is in your heart. He knows everything. God is all powerful. He can reward you or punish you depending on your behaviour. God has power over all things.

Ashura Leaflet 3
This is a public leaflet on the sacrifice of Imam Husain and his holy family. It contains information about the Ashura and Karbala, and is;distributed on days of commemorations of the Holy Family.
God bless the Holy Family and their mourners.
* * * * *
The Martydom of Imam Husain at Karbala
This is a day of remembrance, a day of mourning. We are marking the terrible massacre of God’s chosen people.
We believe this life is about a battle between two forces – good and evil. Our fate depends on how we act. You can’t be good if you side with wrong. Husain, like Jesus, was perfectly good. He was sinless. Infallible. Husain was God’s own beloved Saint. He said that good men never submit to evil.
Yazeed was a bad seed, a follower of the Devil. He wanted to subdue Husain, to make him kneel, and then rule the world. Husain said I have bowed before God. I cannot bow to a tyrant like you. I would rather die. And he proved it by sacrificing his life for God. This was October 680 A.D.
Today, we honour Husain and his family. God bless them. Every year, in every city, people come out in the streets to pay their respects to this holy family. Men and boys cry and beat their chests. We weep for those we love. We recite eulogies for Husain. We read poems for his children who were cut to pieces by forces of Yazeed. Husain paid the ultimate price to save us from evil. Today we are free because of Husain. A thousand years later, we still cry for our Imam. This ceremony marks the Karbala massacre.
Background story:
When Yazeed became king, he demanded loyalty from Husain. Evil always needs approval from a man of God in order to get legitimacy. This has always been the nature of evil. Even today we see evil men try to seek endorsement from God's men.
Husain said to Yazeed I love good people. I shall never betray them. I refuse to accept any evil leader. You can cut off my head but you can't take my soul. I will never sell myself to the dark side. My blood will protect humanity from darkness. Husain prepared his family. And with a cause most just and noble, Husain decided to die. Yazeed decided to kill.
Under threats, Husain and his family left their home. While travelling in the desert, they were ambushed by troops near Karbala in Iraq. Soldiers demanded that Husain either accept Yazeed or die. Husain again refused. He said leave me alone. Do not ask me to accept Yazeed. Light cannot accept darkness. Yazeed's army decided to finish this perfect man.
First, they cut off Husain's water supply from the river Euphrates. In the hot desert, Husain’s family began to suffer terrible thirst. Then the killings began. One by one, the holy family was butchered. All were killed - children, nephews, brothers. Even Husain’s six month old baby Ali Asghar was not spared. They fired an arrow into the baby’s neck, killing him in his father’s arms.
Watching their sons die, mothers wept. Sisters saw their brothers slaughtered. Total of 72 people were killed. Finally, the soldiers killed Imam Husain. Then they cut off the heads. Army ran their horses on headless corpses of the holy people. God watched it all. Why?
God says He loves His true Believers. He wanted to bless them more. He stopped Abraham from sacrifising his son Ishmael; and asked Imam Husain for a “Supreme Sacrifice” for love of believers. Husain fulfilled the Divine wish. With the price of his blood, he gave believers freedom and honour.
Blood of Husain protects believers. It forever strengthens good men. Now, whoever understands and loves Husain will have an honourable life. His perfect model saves mankind even today. With martyrdom of Husain, the good achieved victory over the dark side. Today we mark this greatest sacrifice in human history.
For those who follow Husain: Every day is Ashura. Every land Karbala.
After the brutal massacre at Karbala, Husain's sister Zainab, along with other women of Husain's family, were taken prisoner. Their hands were tied by the soldiers. The holy ladies were dragged on foot across the desert to the palace of Yazeed. But instead of collapsing from trauma and stress, Zainab did not give up in this terrible ordeal. This brave daughter of Imam Ali, the Lion of God, stood firm. Though she was persecuted and oppressed, Zainab did not lose faith in Almighty God. She delievered an historic and defiant speech in the court of Yazeed. Zainab's courageous words prevented the truth from being lost. God bless her. It is through the efforts of this pious lady that the world became aware how her brother's martyrdom achieved Divine Victory against evil.

SAVIOUR OF HUMANITY
God is the Creator of the Universe; and Mohammed is His messenger. Husain is the holy grandson of Prophet Mohammed. Like Jesus, Husain is pure, sinless and perfect. He was killed in year 680 because he stood for liberty and justice. Today, we mark his death.
Husain had refused to accept Yazid who was an evil king. Yazid demanded Husain to recognise him. Husain said: A man like me can never accept a man like you. Yazid then threatened him. Husain said: I would rather die as a free man than live as a slave. Husain then called his family and prepared them to leave Yazid’s empire. But Husain and his caravan was stopped at Karbala. They were deprived of water. Then Yazid’s soldiers started to kill them one by one. Husain’s sons and nephews were brutally killed in front of him. His friends and followers were also massacred. Husain was given one last chance to submit to Yazid. He said: I will not bow to tyranny. One day I will face God. Husain then made a final prayer to God thanking Him an opportunity to die in His cause. Husain was brutally murdered. Soldiers slaughtered Husain like a goat. Women cried loudly as they watched this horrible scene on the day of Ashura. They were taken as prisoners and dragged to Yazid’s palace.
This sacrifice of Husain is remembered every year. People march on every town and city across the world. Men and women mourn the death of Husain. He said: Honourable death is better than life of disgrace. He taught us to live free and stand for justice.
Husain's motto was: Even if you have no religion, live free.
Yazid’s rule of terror was destroyed by the Husaini revolution. Husain stopped the army of darkness with his blood. Yazid and his Umayyad Dynasty were set to take over and enslave Europe. World owes great debt to Husain. Peace be upon Husain. God bless him forever.

KARBALA DAY
We Shia Muslims are marking the anniversary of killing of our holy family. We weep and mourn for them. They were murdered 1400 years ago. This is their brief account.
Ruthless tyrant Moaweya died in 680. He appointed his evil son Yazid as his heir. Both father and son were brutal enemies of Prophet and his descendents. Moaweya had killed Hasan and Ali. He also butchered thousands of followers of Ali. Now, Yazid set is Satanic eyes on the remaining bloodline of the holy family.
Husain was the last holy grandson of Mohammed. As soon Yazid became ruler, he ordered Husain to give him allegiance. Husain refused to recognise the dictator. Yazid threatened Husain. He thought Husain would give up under pressure. But Husain was pure Saint of God. He would rather die then submit to an oppressive ruler. He knew what kind of evil Yazid was. Therefore, Husain prepared his family for sacrifice in the way of God. Martyrdom of Husain was prophesised in ancient book such as the Bible.
When Husain denied Yazid, he had to leave his town. he went to Karbala. Husain and his family caravan was ambused. Yazid’s army at Karbala slaughtered Husain. Soldiers also killed 72 loyal of Husain. These men were from among Husain's family and friends. Yazid’s soldiers butchered the family of God’s Messenger. Women were taken as captured and dragged to Yazid.
Yazid tried to hide his evil murder at Karbala. But Husain’s sister Zainab gave a remarkable speech in Yazid’s palace. She exposed Yazid and the massacre of Prophet’s grandson. Zainab’s defiant speech shook the foundations of Yazid’s kingdom. Popular revolution followed in which Yazid was removed from power.
Husain and Zainab caused the collapse of the oppressive Omeyad dynasty. Husain stood for freedom, piety and justice. His brave sister Zainab saved his sacrifice. She prevented martyrdom from being wasted. Peace be upon holy brother and sister.
Today millions of people visit their shrines to honour the holy siblings. People all over the world mourn Husain. Every year we remember Karbala.

When Husain denied Yazid, he had to leave his town. he went to Karbala. Husain and his family caravan was ambused. Yazid’s army at Karbala slaughtered Husain. Soldiers also killed 72 loyal of Husain. These men were from among Husain's family and friends. Yazid’s soldiers butchered the family of God’s Messenger. Women were taken as captured and dragged to Yazid.
Yazid tried to hide his evil murder at Karbala. But Husain’s sister Zainab gave a remarkable speech in Yazid’s palace. She exposed Yazid and the massacre of Prophet’s grandson. Zainab’s defiant speech shook the foundations of Yazid’s kingdom. Popular revolution followed in which Yazid was removed from power.
Husain and Zainab caused the collapse of the oppressive Omeyad dynasty. Husain stood for freedom, piety and justice. His brave sister Zainab saved his sacrifice. She prevented martyrdom from being wasted. Peace be upon holy brother and sister.
Today millions of people visit their shrines to honour the holy siblings. People all over the world mourn Husain. Every year we remember Karbala.
