Prophet Jacob (Pbuh) suffered from the absence of Joseph (Pbuh) for 20, or according to a narration, 40 years! Undoubtedly, God does not want to bother a believer, but rather intends to make him sincere through the affliction, so that his heart is focused only on God; affliction is the best ladder of Solūk (spiritual growth and self-purification).
Never before in history have all moral virtues been stood in front of all moral vices, as they were on Ashura 61 Ah! The confrontation of Ḥusayn b. Alī (pbuh) against the army of Yazīd, the struggle of the ‘Ultimate Truth’ against the ‘Ultimate Falsehood’. In one side, the ‘Highest Human Virtues’ and on the other, the ‘Lowest and most despicable qualities’.
The second type of mourning follows and protects the trail and lifestyle of the Messenger of God (pbuh&h). That is, to hate and be averse to the axis of “oppression and oppression statesâ€. This is how a mourning that establishes the mainstream and plans for the Emergence, keeps the “Correct though way†alive.
Let’s read the verse of Al-Nudba Supplication with more reflection.
“Where is he who shall pull down the foundations of confusion (polytheists) and hypocrisy?â€
In times of trial, there are few individuals like “NÄfiÊ¿ b. HilÄl†who said, “By God! We do not find meeting God unpleasant, and we are steadfast in our intention and insight. There are few individuals like “Zuhayr†who said:
O, the offspring of the Messenger of God! I swear by God, I would like to be killed and then be resurrected, and this could happen a thousand times. But may God save you and your family being killed’
Yes, these messages have not only been for ImÄm Huá¹£ayn (pbuh)’s household but also for us!
Protect the religion of God; be sure God will protect you.
The most important message which is for all of us is:
Preserve your religion even in the worst conditions; God will definitely bless you.
The rise of Imam Huṣayn (pbuh) wasn’t not limited in time and space.
As supporting ImÄm Huá¹£ayn (pbuh) meant fighting in the “battlefront of Karbala”, supporting Ḥojjat ibn al- Haá¹£an1 [ImÄm ZamÄn (mgehr)] is through taking part in the “soft war of knowledge and culture.”
Ä€shÅ«rÄii companions not only weren’t afraid of being wounded by swords and spears, but also they welcomed the martyrdom with smiles.
With his martyrdom,
Imam Huá¹£ayn (pbuh) disgraced Umayyad government. And this led to its destruction at last.
Likewise, by his emergence, ImÄm ZamÄn (mgehr) will cause a disgrace in all of the oppressing government in the world.
SaÊ¿d b. Ê¿Abd AllÄh said:
 [Once] Aḥmad b. IsḥÄq and I were sitting in the presence of ImÄm AskarÄ« (pbuh).
I had some questions, [but] the ImÄm stated, ‘Ask my dear [then he pointed to His Excellency MahdÄ« (mgehr)].
In one or two narrations, they named [Al- Nafs] “Muḥammad ibn al- Haá¹£anâ€. But because they are weak in terms of document, they aren’t reliable.
In most narrations, he wasn’t pointed to by his real name. He was just pointed to, by the title or kind of that. They are such as:
1-Â Â Â Al- Nafs: This refers to the very Nafs al- Zakiyyah.Â
When ImÄm Huá¹£ayne (pbuh) addressed Moslem ibn Aqil1’s children, “Moslem’s martyrdom is too much for your family! You had better go back to your houses.†Moslem’s children reacted, “Are we expected to tell the people, ‘We have left our ImÄm (pbuh), our leader and elder alone among the enemies. We didn’t defend him?! We swear by God; we will never do such a thing! May our lives and properties be sacrificed for you!â€â€™
