Ashura
There is no day like yours o’ Hussain 
There is no doubt that the greatest and the most painful massacre in history was the martyrdom of Hussain (PBUH) and his 72 companions on the day of Ashura.
Imam Hussain (PBUH) was the prophet Muhammad’s grandson who was surrounded by an army of 30,000 people in Karbala, with no water for three days! They fought deliberately in the battlefield but they were all killed and beheaded one by one in front of their families on one day which is called Ashura.
Following the martyrdom of Hussain (PBUH) and his companions, their bodies were trampled by the hoofs of the horses, their tents were burnt in fire and their women and children including Lady Zeinab (PBUH), the prophet Muhammad’s granddaughter, were all captured and moved along with their heads toward the Levant.
There is no day like yours, O’ Aba Abdillah! [Hussain]”
Imam Hassan (PBUH), Al-Amali, Al-Shaykh Al-Saduq, P. 177
لایوم کیومک یا اباعبدالله
This is a quote by Imam Hassan (PBUH) about his brother, Imam Hussain (PBUH) before his martyrdom.

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

Ashura | The real story of Ashura by Imam Mahdi
Although we heard about the tragedy of Ashura but if we want to know the real story of Ashura, I think we should read a prayer known as Ziyarat Nahiyah which has been said by the last man remained from the descendant of Imam Hussain, Imam Mahdi (may Allah Hasten his reappearance). If we read this prayer carefully, we can understand that this prayer is not just a prayer, It’s saying of Imam Mahdi to introduce Imam Hussain and the real event of Ashura to the world.
See the following images including some parts of Ziyarat Nahiyah
Peace be upon the son of the last prophet
Peace be upon the one saturated in his blood
Peace be upon the most alone person
Peace be upon the dry lips
Peace be upon the one who the heavenly angels wept for
Peace be upon [Hussain] whom God placed the cure in his grave’s soil

Command our Shia to pilgrim Imam Hussain’s holy shrine – A Quote by Imam Baqir
Now, for the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Baqir (PBUH), I prepared an interesting quote by him about Imam Hussain’s pilgrimage. A more interesting point is that what exactly the pilgrimage of imam Hussain is. Why Shia Imams have commanded their followers to pilgrim the holy shrine of Imam Hussain?
Click here to download the above image in high resolution
Imam Baqir (PBUH):
Command our Shia (our followers) to pilgrim the holy shrine of Imam Hussain (PBUH) because Imam Hussain’s pilgrimage increases the Rizq (provision) and extends the lifetime and takes the wickedness away and Imam Hussain’s pilgrimage is a duty for all the believers who have accepted him as a Imam.
Kamil al-Ziyarat, P.284
قال الباقر علیه السلام: مُروا شیعَتَنا بِزیارَةِ قَبرِ الحُسَینِ علیه السلام فَاِنَّ اِتْیانَهُ یَزیدُ فِی الرِّزْقِوَ یَمُدُّ فِی الْعُمْرِ وَ یَدْفَعُ مَرافِعَ السُّوءِ و اِتیانُهُ مُفْتَرَضٌ عَلی کُلِّ مُؤمِنٍ یَقِرُّ لِلحُسَینِ بِالإِمامَةِ مِنَ اللّهِ.
امام محمد باقر علیه السلام:
شیعیان ما را به زیارت قبر حسین علیه السلام فرمان دهید؛ زیرا زیارت آن حضرت،روزی را زیاد و عمر را طولانی و بدی ها را دور می سازد و رفتن به زیارتش بر هر مؤمنی که امامت امام حسین علیه السلام را پذیرفته است، واجب است.

Seeking liberty and justice like Imam Hussain
These days, Iranian people are celebrating the 42th anniversary of the victory of Islamic revolution of Iran. They rose up against cruelty and injustice for at least 15 years with the God’s helps and through the leadership of a supreme leader, Imam Khomeini, the man who said this famous quote: “Imam Hussain (PBUH) taught us all how to stand up cruelty and the government of tyranny. “
Now Iranian people are still fighting against the arrogant powers who try to recolonize Iran and remake it a dependent country with no powers and of course with the right of capitulation for themselves like before the revolution!!! But these people still have the God’s helps and the leadership of Ayatullah Khamenei . Some other countries are also awakening seeking justice even the people of US. May God helps our brothers and sisters in everywhere.
It’s interesting that Imam Hussain (PBUH) is also a role model for seeking liberty and justice in Imam Khamenei’s view :
I made this image from a Imam khamenei’s speech which you can read it completely at here
“Today, Imam Hussain (a.s.) is known to the world more than he was 5 centuries, 10 centuries ago. Today the situation is as such that when impartial intellectuals learn about the history of Islam, and the story of Imam Hussain (a.s.), they feel humble. Even for those who do not know anything about Islam, yet they recognize the notions of freedom, justice, dignity, elevation, and lofty human values, Imam Hussain (PBUH) is an invaluable role model in seeking liberty and justice, in rising up against vices and evils as well as in fighting ignorance and humiliation of mankind.”
– Imam Khamenei (Speech in April 14, 2000)
امروز بیش از پنج قرن و ده قرن پیش، حسین‌بن‌علىِ اسلام و شما، در دنیا شناخته شده است. امروز وضع به گونه‌ای است که متفکّران و روشنفکران و آنهایی که بیغرضند، وقتی به تاریخ اسلام بر میخورند و ماجرای امام حسین را میبینند، احساس خضوع میکنند. آنهایی که از اسلام سر در نمی‌آورند، اما مفاهیم آزادی، عدالت، عزّت، اعتلاء و ارزشهای والای انسانی را میفهمند، با این دید نگاه میکنند و امام حسین، امام آنها در آزادیخواهی، در عدالت‌طلبی، در مبارزه با بدیها و زشتیها و در مبارزه با جهل و زبونی انسان است.
(بیانات رهبر انقلاب، امام خامنه ای، درتاریخ 26 فروردین 1379)

قال: السابع من ولد ابنی محمّد بن علی، و هو الحجة بن الحسن بن علی بن محمّد بن علی بن موسى بن جعفر بن محمد بن علی ابنی، و هو الذی یغیب مدة طویلة ثم یظهر و یملأ الأرض قسطا و عدلا کما ملئت جورا و ظلما
