Book excerpt: On the tenth day of the month of Muharram, fifty years after the passing of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s), Imam Hussain (a) and a small number of family members and companions were slaughtered at the hands of the Umayyad government. They made their stance on the land of Karbala with determination and resolve. They did not waiver in the face of an army of thousands. They made that stance in the hope that their memory will bring life to a Muslim nation which was spiraling fast down the road of deviance. More than thirteen centuries have passed since. Yet every year, Muslims around the world continue to commemorate the tragedy and remember Imam Hussain's (a) great sacrifice. Devotees from around the globe flock to his grave in Karbala to visit and supplicate. They remember the events of that bloody massacre and the valor of Imam Hussain (a) and his companions. They recite verse and prose in commemoration of that stance. Because of the great importance of the tragedy and the passion that it infused into the Muslim nation, Umayyad authorities did all they could to erase its memory. They forbade the mentioning of Imam Hussain (a), persecuted anyone who professed love to the Holy Prophet's (s) household, and spread false ideologies that absolved them of any culpability. Despite all this, Imam Hussain's (a) stance was engraved into the conscience of the Muslim nation. As Lady Zaynab proclaimed in the court of Yazid, "By God, you will never erase our remembrance or kill our inspiration."

Download or read book Reliving Karbala written by Syed Akbar Hyder and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 680 C.E., a small band of the Prophet Muhammads family and their followers, led by his grandson, Husain, rose up in a rebellion against the ruling caliph, Yazid. The family and its supporters, hopelessly outnumbered, were massacred at Karbala, in modern-day Iraq. The story of Karbala is the cornerstone of institutionalized devotion and mourning for millions of Shii Muslims. Apart from its appeal to the Shii community, invocations of Karbala have also come to govern mystical and reformist discourses in the larger Muslim world. Indeed, Karbala even serves as the archetypal resistance and devotional symbol for many non-Muslims. Until now, though, little scholarly attention has been given to the widespread and varied employment of the Karbala event. In Reliving Karbala, Syed Akbar Hyder examines the myriad ways that the Karbala symbol has provided inspiration in South Asia, home to the worlds largest Muslim population. Rather than a unified reading of Islam, Hyder reveals multiple, sometimes conflicting, understandings of the meaning of Islamic religious symbols like Karbala. He ventures beyond traditional, scriptural interpretations to discuss the ways in which millions of very human adherents express and practice their beliefs. By using a panoramic array of sources, including musical performances, interviews, nationalist drama, and other literary forms, Hyder traces the evolution of this story from its earliest historical origins to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Today, Karbala serves as a celebration of martyrdom, a source of personal and communal identity, and even a tool for political protest and struggle. Hyder explores how issues related to gender, genre, popular culture, class, and migrancy bear on the cultivation of religious symbols. He assesses the manner in which religious language and identities are negotiated across contexts and continents. At a time when words like martyrdom, jihad, and Shiism are being used and misused for political reasons, this book provides much-needed scholarly redress. Through his multifaceted examination of this seminal event in Islamic history, Hyder offers an original, complex, and nuanced view of religious symbols.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Saving Monotheism in the Sands of Karbala is a thorough analysis of the tragic Battle of Karbala that occurred in the nascent years after the death of Prophet Muhammad. Less than half a century had passed since the death of the Prophet establishing the religion of Islam and his grandson Hussain was martyred in the land of Karbala in what is today a pilgrimage site in Iraq." "The author provides a thorough understanding of the events that led to the event that took place on Ashura (the tenth day) of the Islamic lunar calendar month of Muharram. A historical presentation that uses verses from the Qur'an and quotes by non-Muslim writers provides a context and insight into the depth surrounding this event that is known as 'the great sacrifice', in a battle of truth against injustice." "An excellent read for those unfamiliar with the history of Karbala as well as a great refresher for those already familiar with the history of the events of Ashura. In addition to the detailed history, the text also offers explanations for understanding into the ritualistic practices of generations of Muslims, particularly Shia sect, commemorating the death of Hussain." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book The Story of Grand Terror Attack on Islam in Karbala 680 Ce written by Umme Fatima Naqvi and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is my humble effort to compile a short but comprehensive book about the history of the Grand Terror Attack on Islam in Karbala 680 CE. Holy son of Rasool Allah (sawaw) Wali Ullah Maola Imam Hussain (asws) gave the greatest sacrifice in Karbala to save Tauheed and Deen of Allah. This task of sacrifice was completed by the holy daughters (sa) of Rasool Allah (sawaw) in Kufa and Shaam. Imam Hussain (asws) and Syyeda Masooma Zainab-al-Kubra (sa) defeated all the evil forces of the universe. Yazid (l.u.) wanted to disfigure the face and foundation of the Deen of Allah by his personal judgement i.e. Qiyas and Zunn. Imam Hussain (asws) is the saviour of Islam, Humanity and Ethical values. He (asws) stood against injustice, dictatorship, terrorism, vulgarity and Bid'ah (innovation in Deen by Qiyas & Zunn). If the sacrifice of Karabala was not there, then today there would have been one Yazid (l.u.) in every house, people would have been living like pigs without discrimination of holy relations and Halaal & Haraam.
