How IMAM Hussain (A.S) Grandson of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) Stopped WAR? by Giving His own life.
After reading a couple of articles.
looks like there were two candidates for Caliphate(Leadership). at the time of Imam Hussain (A.S)
1. Imam Hussain (A.S)
2. Yazid bin Muawiyah
==> Yazid was appointed as the leader by his father (Muaviya That's His Name)
( People in the Muslim world, don't like a leader to be chosen from ruling family after this incident happened. whenever they see a leader coming from ruling family they relate to this event. the thing is you need a righteous person. if he is in the ruling family (well and good). if not you go find it somewhere else. but this does not become a rule that It always has to be from the ruling family, or it always has to be from not the ruling family )
==> Imam Hussain (A.S) was against it. because of his character. He didn't accept him as a leader. Why would he accept a person as a leader who is Liquor lover, and is cruel and controlling people through bribery and has no sense of leadership
He thought there will be a bloodshed between two groups. people supporting Yazid, and people Supporting Him will fight each other. and massive bloodshed could occur.
================ Some FACTS ===================
[[[[Some FACTS and some my personal thoughts. Before we move on ]]]]
Imam Hussain (A.S) opposed many wars. as per articles I read. and He didn't participate in them. Clearly, He was against bloodshed :) Murdering People was not his thing, He was never a part of these kinds of adventures but was a strong opposition to them. They were going in a horribly wrong direction. which needed to be STOPPED!
Yazeed's intentions were so bad, very bad. He wanted to murder people.Imam Hussain (A.S) was never a supporter of bloodshed and never had a desire to rule.
(if He wanted to rule, He could have called his support, He could fight a battle and win it, who would not stand by his side if he had given a call for war, after all, He was grandson of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) )
================ Lets Continue ====================
After realizing that bloodshed could occur, He took his family members and few close companions, 72 total members. and moved to Karbala(A place in Iraq). Leaving other support which was in hundreds behind in Makkah (Currently in Saudi Arabia). He could have given a call for WAR, but that would have resulted in mass murder. Which He opposed all His life
When He reached Karbala heart bleeding, sad events started happening, one by one all His companions and family members that include His 6 months old child, martyred by Yazeedi Armed forces and finally, His own life was taken away.
So that was the beginning of Terrorism. And Islam was not responsible for it. But was a Victim of it
Here are some key lessons, Which I learned
- Spreading Islam, by Sword was from Yazidees
- Spreading Islam, by Love, Peace, and Harmony was from Imam Hussain (A.S) He clearly revived True Islam.
- There were True Shias, with Imam Hussain (A.S) Shias of Ali (R.A) True Shias.
- There were Fake Shias, Which were the Shias of Yazeed, which were Terrorists.
- Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) never cursed anyone but prayed for the ones. who threw stones on Him, so did His grandson, He didn't take their lives but gave His own life.
- By Doing so, Moving from Makkah where he had thousands of followers, to Karballa where He had none..
He saved biggest War of the Time. which could have resulted in Mass murder.
He saved Islam, He proved to The whole world, Islam is not a name of wars and bloodshed which Yazidis were doing, But Islam is a name of love, peace, and harmony. where materialism(Becoming a Ruler) has no importance over Human beings, He proved Human's lives have important over power. He proved Love have importance over hate.
Now If you see, a group of people murdering people somewhere in the world. and pretending to be Muslim,
That is not Hussaini, but a Yazeedi...
If you see someone is taking lives to be in power, clearly is a Yazeedi and not Hussaini.
If you see someone is not fighting even if he could fight. He is Hussaini :) a true Leader ...
I also believe ISIS has roots in Yazeedi Army.
So if they someone comes to you. and say He is a Muslim, Ask him This question
Do know love Hussain (A.S) ?
If he says yes, then follow him, if he says no.. then Kick Him out.. Because He is a terrorist.
