کربلا، عقل اورتاریخ
جزیرہ نماعرب ہمیشہ سےایک مشکل اورکٹھن جگہ رہی ہے. صحرا ہونےکی وجہ سےیہ کوئی بہت زرخیز اورمعاشی طور پر مضبوط بھی نہیں رہا. اور زندگی بھی مشکل تھی. اسی وجہ سے ماضی کی سپر پاورز نے اس پر قبضہ کی کوئی خاص کوششیں نہیں کیں.
@MaryamNSharif @CMShehbaz #Karbala #Yazid
نبی کریم(ص) جب فوت ہوئےتوجزیرہ نما عرب پراسلام غالب ہوچکاتھا اورآپ نےاس کوایک ریاست بنادیاتھاجس کادارالخلافہ مدینہ تھا. لیکن وفات کےساتھ ہی بہت سےقبائل نےبغاوت کردی اوربہت سےجھوٹے نبوت کےدعویدار بھی سامنے آگئے. حضرت ابوبکر(رض) کےتدبر اورجارحانہ حکمت عملی سےان بغاوتوں کوکچل دیاگیا
اورریاست مدینہ نہ صرف مضبوط بنیادوں پراستوار کی گئی بلکہ اسلامی خلافت کووسعت بھی دینا شروع کردیاگیا. اسکےلئےاس وقت کی دونوں سپرپاورز،ساسانیوں اوررومیوں سےبیک وقت محاذکھول دیاگیا.یہ کوئی معمولی بات نہیں کہ ایک نوزائدہ ریاست جس نےابھی بغاوتوں کوکچلاہووہ دوسپر پاورز سےٹاکراشروع کردے

10 Lessons From The #Tragedy of #Karbala

1. #Hussain (as) stopped in the middle of the battlefield to perform his obligatory #prayers with arrows shooting at him… the least we can do is perform our daily prayers on time.

1/10 🧵
2. #Hussain (as) #sacrificed his family including his six month old for the sake of Allah (swt)...the least we can do is sacrifice our worldly desires for the sake of Allah (swt)!

2/10
3. Lady #Zainab (as) prayed Salatul Layl (the night prayers) in the state of sitting down on the night of #Ashura after the tragic loss of her entire family… the least we can do is pray Salatul layl in our peaceful nights!

Part 2: "I saw Nothing but Beauty."

Sayyida Zainab’s speech in Kufa represents the first statement and comment issued by Ahl al-Bayt (a.s) on the #Karbala incident. Her speech is also considered the first round of her battle against crime and Umayyad oppression.

In #Kufa, when captives were brought to Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad, he decided to express his joy of victory in front of Sayyida #Zainab (a.s). He rudely said to her: “Praise be to Allah who disgraced you, and revealed your sayings as false.”

She (a.s) immediately frustrated his conspiracy by replying: “Praise be to Allah who has honored us with His Messenger, and purified us from impurity. The one who is disgraced is certainly the libertine,

I’m going to share a few snapshots and moments along the way during my visit to Iraq, to provide some color.

I’m reporting for a forthcoming book that asks: What happened in Iraq after America invaded in 2003, and what broke around the world as a result of that war. #Iraq
The last few days I visited Najaf and Karbala. Here some pilgrims rest in the plaza outside the Shrine of Imam Ali in Najaf at midday, with the temperature at 117 degrees Fahrenheit. #Iraq #Najaf Image

Destabilization by #Israel+#SaudiArabia+#UAE in the Middle East is equal to the destabilization by #Iran. Is it?

I listened to @PeterBeinart on @FareedZakaria's show. He used this contrast to justify rejecting the idea of a #JCPOA rethink to include Iran's malign activities. /1
Are #Israel #KSA #UAE destabilizing the Middle East equally to or more than #Iran? This juxtaposition is used by Iran govt and sympathizers who suggest Tehran's wide network of proxies & operations in the region is not unique. Rather, it's normal. /2
Keeping #JCPOA intact is a legitimate goal but not on the basis of a fallacy. Moral and political equivalency that @PeterBeinart suggested [b/w #KSA/#Israel/#UAE and #Iran] is worth discussing. In short bursts, just key points, for the sake of informing. /3

DUKA KARBALA, DUKA SEMESTA

Kisah duka ini terjadi kurang lebih 50 tahun setelah Baginda Rasulullah SAWW dibaringkan disamping mesjid nabawi, dunia Islam kala itu terbentang hampir meliputi setengah bumi.
Gembala² unta kini berpesta pora di istana². Mereka telah menaklukkan Romawi dan juga Persia. Suara azan menggema mulai dari kota Alexandria di Mesir, sampai ke dusun² kecil di Azerbaijan.
Berkat perjuangan Rasulullah SAWW, orang² arab yang miskin, kini menjadi penguasa dunia. Bangsa yg semula terasing di sahara, sekarang menentukan sejarah manusia.

Since most people are unaware of the significance of #Muharram or the sacrifice of Hussain please bear with me as I recite the history of #Karbala every day

#twittermajlis
Karb ( anguish) and Bala ( calamity) were the name given to the land of Nainawa where Imam Hussain and the male members of his family ( excluding an ill son) were martyred along with his companions. The ladies were imprisoned & taken to Syria
#Muharrum #Karbala #twittermajlis
When Yazid son of Mu'awiya declared himself as a ruler over the Ummah, he demanded Imam Hussain 's allegiance . Imam
flatly refused
Yezid floured the tenets of Islam as taught by the Prophet and #Hussain said,
"Someone like me, does not pledge allegiance to someone like him”.

I felt thirsty cause its summer here while drinking cold water suddenly i remember Mr ABDULLAH IBN E HUSSAINع 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
known as Imam Ali Asghar 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hazrat Ali Asghar was of six months and felt too much thirsty at the hottest plane of Karbala 💔💔💔..
Imam Ali Asghar was the youngest child of Imam Husain (a.s). He was born only a few weeks before Imam left Madinah. His mother's name was Rubaab (s.a).At Karbala Asghar was only six months old.💔From the seventh Muharram there was no water in Imam's camp. 💔
Asghar was in great pain because of thirst. On Ashura day, after Ali Akber (a.s)(His older Son) had been killed, Imam Husain was standing outside the camp
. He was left all alone and he was preparing to go into the battlefield.💔💔
Just then he heard a child cry.

#Iraq, Today's Statement of Grand Ayatollah #Sistani, from Friday Prayer:

#Iraq: Abu Mahdi al-Mihandis, 2nd man in the Popular Mobilization Forces & Gen. Qasim Soleimani, Commabder of Iran’s Quds Force, were killed in a US military operation.

This took the recent US-Iran conflict to another level, putting Iraq in the heart of the fight. (1)
#Iraq’s national leaders hoped to avoid having their country being theater of US-Iran conflict.

Three reactions to watch for in the next few hours:
Iraqi PM Adil Abd al-Mahdi, Muqtada al-Sadr, Sistani’s Friday message in the coming few hours, & of course Iran’s statement. (2)
The Iraqi Govt. will try to contain the consequences of this event, which is perhaps the most consequential event in Iraq after the US invasion of Iraq.
But the main challenge will be the armed groups that aren’t controlled by #Iraq’s Commander-in-Chief. (3)
