Abstract:
Mourning is grief of the loss of a loved
one and the expression of this grief varies from culture
to culture. One who loves the Ahl ul-Bayt and holds
sincere sympathy for any oppressed victim mourns over
the loss of Imam Husayn and the 72 members who
accompanied him during the tragedy of Karbala.
Various hadiths emphasize on the value of mourning for
the martyrs, both publicly and privately. One way is to
express extreme grief over this tragedy as well as
acknowledge Imam Husayn’s virtues and strive to
emulate him as he proved to be the perfect exemplar.
Consequently, the mourner receives bounteous rewards,
both in this world and the next. In this article, I offer the
outcomes of mourning for Imam Husayn (a) using
evidence from Qur’anic verses and passages from
Ziyarat ‘Ashura. Acknowledging the valiance and
sacrifice of Imam Husayn and his companions and
displaying inner and outward sorrow for the tragedy
helps one attain divine mercy, divine forgiveness, and
companionship with the Ahlul Bayt in this world and
the next
Machine summary:
"Acknowledging the valiance and sacrifice of Imam Husayn and his companions and ABSTRACT displaying inner and outward sorrow for the tragedy helps one attain divine mercy, divine forgiveness, and companionship with the Ahlul Bayt in this world and the next.
1. Divine salutations By reflecting on some verses of the Holy Qur’an we can understand the meaning of God’s salutation: (رجوع شود به تصویر صفحه) 1 Arabic term literally meaning "visit" used to refer to a pilgrimage to sites associated with Prophet Muhammad, his family members, and his descendants.
In addition to in the phrase read in Ziy rat ‘Ashur , we come to the conclusion that those who truly mourn for Imam Husayn (a) receive salutations from God and through that they can gain light and the goodly life.
To be with the Prophet (s) and his household in this world means to remain in their faction and work for their causes; to be with them in the Hereafter means to join them on the Day of Resurrection when every assemblage are asked to join their leaders: (رجوع شود به تصویر صفحه) The day We shall summon every group of people with their imam, then whoever is given his book in his right hand they will read it, and they will not be wronged so much as a single date-thread.
The one who truly mourns for Imam Husayn (a) asks Allah (swt) to give him the ability to reach the same position, because he is not going to separate from his masters; therefore, we are to follow their lead."
