Karbala is not just an event but a message that teaches the ethics of living, says Dr. Khalid Iraqi
Today, wherever the oppressors are facing oppressors in the whole world, their centre and source is the person of Imam Hussain (RA). Allama Nazer Abbas Taqwi.
Allama Nazer Abbas Taqvi said that Hazrat Imam Hussain RA is not the imam of any sect or group and he did not come to guide any sect or group, but the establishment of Hazrat Imam Hussain RA was for the guidance and guidance of the entire humanity. Hazrat Imam Hussain RA His character is a universal character and a universal personality. Today, wherever the oppressed are facing oppressors in the whole world, their centre and source is the character of Imam Hussain, he guided people in Karbala, the manners of living and manner of dying and He taught us to deal with the situation. Today, every person in the world says that Yazid was defeated in the field of Karbala and Hussain Ibn Ali was successful. ) while addressing the annual “Hussain Day” held in University of Karachi.
Allama Nazer Abbas Taqvi further said that today, as Muslims, it is our responsibility to deny all oppression and this is the message of Karbala. Today, all the movements in the whole world are standing against oppression and are raising the voice of the truth. Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and Karbala. Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) taught in the field of Karbala that the death of honor is better than the life of humiliation.
On this occasion, University of Karachi Vice Chancellor Professor Dr. Khalid Mahmood Iraqi said that Karbala is not just an event but a message that teaches the virtue of living. The martyrs of Karbala did not just offer their lives but gave a message to the living world. Hazrat Imam Hussain’s philosophy of martyrdom is a way of life not only for Muslims but for the entire humanity. The martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain awakened consciences, changed hearts, paved the way for mental revolution and promoted the greatness and importance of human values. Hazrat Imam Hussain’s jihad against Yazid was not based on religious prejudice or sectarianism, but for the protection of Islam. Today, one of the main reasons for the decline of Muslims is distance from religion and a crisis of character. The lesson of Karbala is that our existence, character and society should become a manifestation of peace and security. Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) refused to accept the government of oppression, I wish we understood the philosophy of sacrifice of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and followed it. Instead of remembering Imam Hussain and his great companions only in ten days of Muharram, remember three hundred and sixty-five days of the year and practice it.
Dr. Khalid Iraqi further said that Hazrat Imam Hussain RA is not only a torch for any school of thought, any religion, but for the entire humanity. We need to be united instead of being divided into sects. No society can develop without ensuring justice, it is not possible to face the problems and challenges faced by the Muslim Ummah in the present age without getting guidance from the blessed life of the Holy Prophet.
Dr. Miraj Ul Huda Siddiqui said that the spirit of the Karbala incident is that the oppressor is not only the one who is oppressing, but the oppressor is also the one who is silent about the oppressor. Today, the people of Gaza are standing firm and continue to sacrifice, while the entire Muslim world is silent, not even a word of condemnation comes out of their tongues. You will see in your lifetime that Israel will be defeated and the people of Gaza who They are poor and are reviving the story of Karbala in a state of disrepair, victory is going to be their destiny.
The head of Islamic Studies Professor Dr. Zahid Ali Zahidi said that Karbala teaches resistance and competition against oppression. It is better to die with honour than to live with oppressors. This is the message of Karbala.
