Tasua | Imam Hussain quote

Now my back is broken !

#ImamHussain cried out these words of grief when he found his brother, #Abbas , fallen off his horse and fatally struck in #Karbala

اأَلانَ إنکَسَرَ ظَهرِي وَ قَلَّت حِيلَتِي وَ انقَطَعَ رَجائِي وَ شَمُتَ بِي عَدوِّي وَ الکَمَدُ قاتِلي

الان کمرم شکست و چاره ام کم شد و امیدم قطع و دشمن مرا زخم زبان می زند و غصّه تو مرا می کشد

Shia people mark the day of Tasua in front of the holy shrine of Imam Hussain and Hadrat Abbas in Karbala, Iraq

Today is the 9th day of Muharram , a day called Tasua in which all people mourn for the last man left for Imam Hussain (PBUH). A man who Imam Hussain cry for when he killed on the day of Ashura at Karbala.  He was Hadrat Abbas, the Imam Ali’s son and Imam Hussain’s younger brother who was martyred on the way back to the tents while he was bringing water for the thirsty women and children.

Husayn was martyred on Ashura day while he was thirsty

Drinking water is universally held to be one of the most basic of human rights and is vital to the survival of any living creatures, but Imam Husayn, the Prophet Muhammad’s grandson, was martyred along with all his companions on the day of Ashura in Karbala while they were all thirsty. The tents of his family were pitched just a walking distance from the banks of the river Euphrates and yet he and his camp – including his six month old baby – were not allowed a single drop.

Access to water had been closed for three days and nights, but during this time, Hadrat Abbas, the brother of Imam Husayn, was able to get some water for children on one or two occasions, including the night of Ashura and That’s why Abbas had been received the nick name of Saqqa which means “water carrier”.

Ashura – Remember Imam Husayn (PBUH) when you are drinking water

On the day of Ashura, Hadrat Abbas went to get some water again. The number of men who guarded the river bank was four thousand.
