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

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

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.

Day of Ashura | A Lesson from Imam Hussain
Tomorrow is the day of Ashura in the year 2019.
Day of Ashura was a day Imam Hussain , the prophet Muhammad’s grandson, and his 72 companions were all killed by the tyrant of the time and their families were also captured on this day but their blood still revive Islam over many centuries. Imam Khomeini who was the founder of the Islamic republic of Iran also learned from Imam Hussain (PBUH) as he said:
Ashura
“By this sacrifice, the Master of Martyrs defeated the antagonists and in a very short time people realized what a calamity and tragic event had taken place, so their awareness upset the rule of the Umayyad [the tyrant of the time]. In addition, Imam Hussain’s example taught us all that his is the true path in all history: Do not mind the inadequacy of numbers! It is the quality that counts not quantity. It is the quality of the jihad of numbers that triumphs. Let the great powers of the world and those who are either in the Eastern or in the Western blocks be our enemies. Let all communications mass media of the world continue to write and spread lies against this Movement, but the truth shall remain clear and evident throughout…”

Day of Ashura | The day heavenly angels wept for Hussain
The story of Imam Hussain (PBUH) on the day of Ashura in Karbala has a heat that still burn our hearts over centuries. Day of Ashura was a day in which even the heavenly angles wept for Hussain (PBUH), the prophet Muhammad’s grandson.
Ashura
Imam Mahdi, the 12th Shia Imam and the grandson of Imam Hussain (PBUH) has said in “Ziarat Nahiya” that not only the heavenly angles but the skies, the mountains, the oceans and even the fishes wept for Imam Hussain:
“…Mourning commemorations were held for you [O’ Hussain!] in the utmost exalted place Heaven,
and the dark-eyed Maidens [of Paradise] hit their own heads and faces in grief,
The skies and their inhabitants wept,
as did Paradise and its keepers,
The mountains and their surroundings,
The oceans and their fishes,
The heavens and their servants
The Ka’ba, and the Station (of Abraham),
The sacred Monument,
and Mecca and its sanctuary …” (Read the full Ziarat Nahiya at here).
I do not know how these can be happen but I know that there is a verse in the holy Quran saying all the creatures exalt God but you can not understand:
“The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [ Allah ] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving.” [The holy Quran, 17:44]
Muharram , The Month of Imam Hussain
“The month of Muharram is the month of Imam Hussain,…The month of attendance to the preservation of the religion, God’s religion, and resistance against those powers which confront the religion…”
Today is the first day of Muharram in the year 2019 and I’m writing this post from the holy city of Mashhad, from a place near to Imam Reza’s holy shrine; So Let’s offer our deepest condolence to Imam Reza (PBUH) and to Imam of our time for the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussain (PBUH), the prophet Muhammad’s grandson.
Holy shrine of Imam Reza in Muharram 2019. I took this photo tonight, on the 1st of Sep 2019.
It is my first trip to Mashhad in Muharram. The holy shrine is covered in black and the people are also dressed in black for the mortyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussain (PBUH).There are also some traditional camps held in the streets by people who love Imam Hussain to offer free tea, drink or food to the mourners and other people in the streets.
Yesterday I found that Imam Khamenei, the grand leader, also travelled to Mashhad to clean the holy grave of Imam Reza (PBUH) to prepare it for the beginig of Muharram.
The following statment is one of the grand leader’s speech about Muharram given in about two years ago :
“The month of Muharram is the month of Imam Hussain; It is the month of Hussaini, The month of all values embodied inside the Master of Martyrs (PBUH); the month of Martyrdom , the month of Jihad, the month of sincerity, the month of loyalty and the month of forgiveness; the month of attendance to the preservation of the religion, God’s religion, and resistance against those powers which confront the religion. The auspicious existence of the Master of Martyrs and the events of Ashura, Muharram and other such events are the embodiment of these values.
The belief that the uprising of the Master of Martyrs has been preserved Islam is really a correct belief as this event has been become livelier, day by day, in the course of time and after many centuries.
Today, this ceremony is being held in a warmer and more enthusiastic and comprehensive manner than a hundred years ago when there were no appearant opponents for the religious believes of people like today’s opponents. All these matters has a meaning. All these matters reveal certain truths and a movement which is moving forward in the world with the leadership of Hussain ibn Ali (PBUH). In-Sha-Allah this movement will go forward and will resolve the problems of nations.”
