Imam Hasan and Hussain (AS) Exposed Tyrants of their Times



The Prophet SAWW in a famous hadith said: Hassan and Husayn are Imams whether they sit (qama) or rise (qada). This hadith not only confirms the sacredness of our Aimmah AS, but also provides useful guidance to mankind when confronted with varying situations. Situations are caused by human beings who are products of society. A society that does not deal with corruption and does not hold in check its leaders who perpetrate misdeeds is visited upon by tyrants. The Prophet SAWW in another hadith has warned people to enjoin good and forbid the prohibited, otherwise Allah sets wicked rulers upon them and any prayers to remove these wicked rulers go unanswered. Real brave men have to fight these tyrants alone. History hasshown us that Prophets Ebrahim, Musa and Yahya, among others, had to fight Namrud, Firaun and Bokhtanassar respectively alone as the general populace assumed indifference or cowered in the face of their mighty forces. Similarly, Imam Hassan Al-MujtabaAS and Imam Husayn AS confronted powerful wicked rulers like Mu’awiyah and Yazid alone.

Qutilal Husayn Yawmul Saqifa” (Imam Husayn was killed on the day of Saqifa) is history’s verdict because the falta of Saqifa was responsible to bring to power usurpers who advanced their personal cause and nurtured snakes like Mu’awiyah and leopards like Yazid. It was Abu Bakr who appointed Abu Sufyan’sson to the governorship of Shaam province (present day Syria, Lebabnon, Jordan, Palestine and the capital of Syria, Damascus) and when Yazid died, Umar Al-Khattab appointed his brother Mu’awiyah to the post. Mu’awiyah behaved like a king and Umar Al-Khattab encouraged this behavior by dubbing Mu’awiyah “Caesar of the Arabs” and not holding him accountable for misrule, including misuse of revenue to bestow largesse on family, friends and favorites and creating ethnic and socio-economic classes. Uthman’sspineless rule and Ayesha’s instigation against ‘na’thal’ i.e. Uthman, strengthened Mu’awiyah to the extent that he dared rebel against the Khalifa the people themselves had chosen, Imam Ali ibni Abi Talib AS. The snake came to the fore and after he had engineered the plot to kill Imam Ali AS, thissnake perpetrated deceit and reneged on terms of cease-fire he had signed with Imam Hassan Al-Mujtaba AS and appointed his fiendish son, Yazid as hissuccessor.

Mu’awiyah and Yazid were evil by nature because they were born of and bred by evil parents who were inveterate enemies of The Prophet SAWW and of Al-Islam. Abu Sufyan accepted Islam only to save his life and Mu’awiyah scolded his father for accepting Islam. Yazid openly belied the tenets of Al-Islam and said there was neither revelation nor The Qur’an. And yet these are still being regarded asAmirul Mumineen!!! Only warped minds can stoop so low.

These two tyrants typify two different types of tyranny. Mu’awiyah a sly, cunning tyrant was deceitful in war and reneged on his words in peace. Yazid, on the other hand, was a witlessscatterbrain who wassavage and vicious in war and bereft of any moral or ethical values of humanity, let alone Al-Islam, in peace. Such tyrants had to be dealt differently so as to unmask their real faces for they wore two faces. Imam Hassan Al-Mujtaba AS unveiled Mu’awiyah’s hypocrisy by agreeing to hudna (cease-fire) and Imam Husayn AS exposed Yazid on Ashuraa. Imam HusaynAS’ cousin and emissary Hadhrat Muslim ibni Aquil lay bare the face of Ibn Marjanah in Kufa on Arafah. Were Imam Hassan AS to fight Mu’awiyah on the battlefield only, the other face of Mua’wiyah, of hypocrisy, would never have been revealed to the world. Mu’awiyah reneged on the terms of cease-fire and showed his true colors. Had Imam Husayn AS made peace with Yazid and not fought him in battle, Yazid’s brutality, savagery and kufr would never have come to the fore. Not only did Yazid kill Imam Husayn AS, he also ransacked Madinah in 63 Hijra, giving license to hissoldiers to kill, loot and rape. In 64 Hijri he torched The Ka’aba. The peacetime face of Yazid, of imbibing intoxicants, playing with dogs and monkeys, indulging in adultery and incest were already a ‘legend’. Now his wartime behavior wasseen by the world and Imam Ahmad ibni Hanbal, among others, have unreservedly called Yazid a Kafir. Yazid ibn Mu’awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan’s followers had better be ready to face The Prophet SAWW on the Day of Judgment.

Comment: Fri, 14 Dec 2007 09:35:21 - OPEN YOUR EYES - OPEN YOUR EYES - for Imam gave shahadat for us to UNDERSTAND. A few people cant fight with Imam Hussain (PBUH). it was a FULL ARMY, thousands, a full state support. A state which was created in corporation of Mawiya and Abu Bakar and others. I dont know how these killers will ever be released from Hell for hurting the Family , the most pious on the world and the skies. Hurting the SOULS which gave everything they had for humanity! for Allah. I console all shias for having deep feelings and love for the Prophet's family. I challenge to anyone who can prove, if they fullfill Muhammad's (PBUH) sunnah without loving ALI, FATIMA, HASSAN and HUSSAIN. How come?

Its a shame all the way for us, and we die everyday thinking of the most beloved of ALLAH slaughtered in the middle of ARAB , in between muslim governments and people.

Its shame its shame, we cry and we cry for all our lives for the most beloved, most precious blood spilled in the sands of karbala. Alas we understand obeying ALlah is obeying Muhammad is obeying Ali (PBUH).

I dont think any muslim will understand facts untill the final IMAM, from AHl-e-Bait will rise like a SUN on this earth and will teach us true meanings of respect and love!

HAQ ALI - SACH ALI - SAB ALI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
