CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BIRTH ANNIVERSARY OF OUR BELOVED IMAM HUSSAIN(a s):
The ark of salvation....
The glorious and august personality of Imam Husain(AS) provides the solution to the both problems. He is a lamp of guidance in this world’s life, and the ark of salvation in the Hereafter. The lamp shows the path to others and without the lamp knowing and leading one’s life on the right path is almost impossible. The ark of salvation saves from falling in the abyss of hell. Those who have embarked this ark will definitely be saved.
In other sayings attributed to holy Prophet(pbuh) about the virtues and greatness of Imam Husain(AS) , he(S) says :
“Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn. Everyone who likes Husayn is loved by Allah. Husayn is a sibt (son of daughter) of my sibts”.
The life of Imam al Husain(AS) was immersed in the love of Allah. Each action of his life is a testimony to this fact. Holy Prophet(pbuh) introduced Imam al Husain (and also Imam al Hasan(AS) on many occasions and he proclaimed to the Muslims to love both of them : “O Allah I love both of them. Therefore love them and love whoever loves them. Whoever loves al-Hasan and al-Husain is one whom I love. Whomever I love, Allah loves, and whomever Allah loves, He will cause to enter Heaven. Whoever hates them, I hate and Allah hates, He will cause to enter the fire. These two sons of mine are two plants of sweet basil(to sweeten) the world”.
(as quoted in Kitab al-Irshad, by Shaykh al Mufid).
May Allah purify ourselves and make us receive guidance from Imam al Husain(AS),
