Let's think about it.
The 10th Muharram, better known as Asyura, have just ended and the memorial of matyrdom of Imam Husayn Al-Syuhada a.s. is kept afresh in our minds. Shia Islam all over the world shared the tragedy and shed their tears for their beloved Imam Husayn a.s. together. Poems are recited, sermons are read, histories are unfold, nauha re-enacted and tears flowed endlessly. What is this phenomenal significance of Asyura and the tragic event of Kerbala?
To most Sunni brothers, Asyura is widely known for Maal Hijrah, start of new Hijri year and other previous events which rarely emphasized on Imam Husayn a.s. matyrdom. It is not surprising to hear our Sunni brothers not knowing who is Imam Husayn a.s. and why did he died a matyr. For some Sunni brothers the cruelty act of the caliph Yazid son of Muawiyah, which they acknowledge, is pardonable by God as he have his own ijtihad. To the Sunnis, Imam Husayn was killed as he planned a revolution against the government and Yazid is doing what any government would do. The Sunnis even acknowledged that Yazid is kind and pious caliph.
My question, ..to kill the last Prophet grandson and his family is pardonable by God.....what are they thinking? If Yazid is kind and pious, why must he killed Imam Husayn who is only with 73 of his followers who made up of men, women and children against his strong armies of tens of thousands. Why must Imam Husayn a.s. head be an accessories and served on a tray for him to be proud of. Have not he, Yazid, spared a thought that Imam Husayn is the blood of Imam Ali a.s. and Fatimah Az-Zahra daughter of Muhammad saw. Even to this day, the Shi'i remembered and will forever remember the sacrficed made by their beloved Imam Husayn a.s. to protect the holy religion brought upon by his ancestor Prophet Muhammad saw. The religion that Allah swt had perfected for all living beings. A religion we call Islam.
Allahumah Soli'ala Muhammad Wa'ali Muhammad. May Allah unite us with Ahlul Bayt for whom we forever love and dearly missed. Insya'Allah.
