In the Name of God the Merciful the Compassionate
“And do not speak of those who are slain in Allah’s way as
dead; nay they are alive, but you do not perceive.”
Ashura the day, on which the martyrs of Karbala drew with
their living the ineffaceable line between faith and disbelief, between truth
and falsehood, between justice and tyranny, and between those who are really
alive and between those whose conscience is dead although they do not perceive.
In the light of the verse that we quoted to you above, it is the remembrance of
the martyrs that has saved the living from becoming conscientiously dead, as is
the case with societies devoid of the concept of martyrdom or the sense to
commemorate those who sacrificed their life to keep humanitarian values alive.
In Islam revolutions
as well as political and social movements throughout history have carried
messages and ideals which have been usually limited to specific time, place and
circumstances. But the uprising of Imam Hussein (a.s.) and Karbala brings
everlasting messages for the entire humanity. The ideals of this glorious and
unique uprising are shining like a bright light for mankind showing the way
towards prosperity in life and salvation in the hereafter. The emphasis is on
freedom in Islam.
