History of Karbala, Beyond the World`s History

History is something which shows the nobility and kinship of every nation, tribe and family and as all religions of the world has a history for itself; our religion has a history too. Even, we liken the Islam`s history to a sky that the brilliant moon of this history, is a shinning moon which illumines all the stars and even the sun of that sky. There exist many lessons in the history. So, God says to the Prophet that “کلا نقص عليک” (and all we relate to you). “کلا ...” is not like telling a story and it is beyond these discussions. It tells us that we should study the history of our predecessors and understand its strength and weak points. Every “کلا نقص عليک” follows “فاتقوا يا اولو الابصاري”. It means that those who have insight should take a lesson after reading every story. So, we understand that the statement of history has a significant role in the society`s education. The history means the identity certificate of a human, a birth certificate which shows his/her identity. The root of the kinship of every person is an important matter. We see that the abandoned children don`t have any birth certificate: It means that they don`t have any identity. They are not informed of their identity and birth certificate. So, the person who doesn`t know anything about his/ her history is like an abandoned child who doesn`t know anything about his father and mother. Thus, the history is very constructive, and the statement of the historical incidents and education of the societies especially historical societies has a specific position. Hence, God has sequentially stated some stories about the destiny of such a nation. As a result, Quran is not a story book; it has a purpose.

We should enter from a door from which Quran has guided us and move towards learning the history by making an example. Also, we should review the glorious history of Islam and speak about the lesson of history. The Lesson of history should be stated in the religious gatherings. No history is as glorious as the Islam history. I mean that if we liken the Islam`s world to a sky which has some stars, and a shinning moon by the name of Karbala has been registered in it; around this brilliant moon, some starts exist like Hazrat Abbas (Abol- Fazl) and Habib ibn- e Mazaher who were beside Imam Hossein (the master of martyrs); they are great role models for us.

Let those who deny the religion bring a history except for Karbala. Which of them is the symbol of bravery, self- sacrifice and devotion and shows the paradigm of sacrifice and purity? Which of them prays in front of Imam Hossein (A)? It is the noble message of prayer`s position in our religion. So, we, mourners, of The Master of Martyrs, should notice these messages, think about Karbala`s history and shouldn`t pass through it easily. These beatings on the chest (as a sign of grief and mourning) are the result of holding mourning gathering and saying “Hasan” and “Hossein” which have been changed to the Islamic government nowadays, so that global arrogance and superpower of the world are defeated in front of it and retreated from their positions.

There are two words in the world: Islamic Republic of Iran as the symbol of support and America as the symbol of superpower. Thanks God, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been proud so far (after the victory of Islamic Revolution) and this matter is due to the support of people from the Islamic Revolution. If the Islamic Revolution won, if no one could predict it, and when it was asked about the downfall of Pahlavi government by wood, club and stone, the people and experts said it was impossible, however they had forgotten that this nation has been raised in Imam Hossein`s school, the school that the blood has won against the sword according to the Islam`s enemies and also the Prophet`s family. However, the historical analysts refer to the early Islam and say the confrontation of the Prophet and Muslims with infidelity is fanatical. The weapon used by them was more like a kitchen`s knife and we see that they were always the winner of the fight and were proud. So, this matter is due to the support of God from every pure movement. God supports every movement which advocates and reinforces the divine religion. In the Holy Quran we read “ان تنصرو ا... ينصرکم”. Today, we have gained honor in the Islam world by the name of Islamic government and this honor could have not been created, the bed of this Revolution could have not been prepared and the basis of this Revolution could have not been established save in the mosques, religious gatherings and the other religious formations. So, this noble religion is the position of holy system of Islamic Republic in the global equations. When the goal is put into the religious groups` (religious gathering and mosque) hand, the miracle will be created there and the ordinary people can`t interpret it. So, we should realize its value and the system should thank these positions and gatherings. The role of the people who participate in these gatherings for a long time is a constructive role in the base of Islamic Republic of Iran and neutralization of the enemies and conspiracies. Why? Because, they themselves say that the mosques are alive until the religious gatherings exist, the Iranians believe in the uprising of Imam Hossein (A), the nation say “Hossein, Hossein ..” and the voice of “o’ Hossein!” is arisen by this country. When these matters happen, they should leave them alone. They say that the people shouldn`t say “Hossein, Hossein ...” and all gatherings should be hollow and nonsensical. When they become empty, they will be ineffective. However, they have misunderstood; the people of religious gatherings and mosque never allow them.
