Effects of Ashura

The role of Ashura in the survival of Islam

Ashura is not an incident but a culture; A culture originated from the text of pure Muhammadan Islam, which has played a vital role in the strength of its roots, the growth of its branches, and its growth. The Ashura movement has never been limited to a specific time and geography, but has always been an inspiration to Shia in line with the true Shia movements, movements and uprisings, but also many other freedom-seeking movements against the centers of oppression, disbelief and hypocrisy.

Undoubtedly, the character of Seyyed al-Shohada (peace be upon him) and the circumstances that happened to his life by divine destiny gave a characteristic to his life (peace be upon him) and especially his martyrdom, from which these blessings can come. Likewise, we believe that all the pure Imams (peace be upon them) are a single light; Any other imam in the place of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) should have implemented the same program. If there is a difference in the behavior of Imams (peace be upon them), it was due to the social conditions of their time. For example, Imam Hassan (peace be upon him) first fought and then made peace. The fact that it is known that Imam Hassan (peace be upon him) was a symbol of peace compared to Seyyed al-Shohada (peace be upon him), does not mean that they had two tastes and two readings of Islam, a peaceful reading and another violent reading;
Being in Karbala and being a member of Imam Hussain's (pbuh) corps, which is not just thirst, swordsmanship, and wound removal, choosing a path that prevents the creation and formation of another Ashurai essence, is a permanent and proud membership in Hussain's (pbuh) corps.
Have we ever thought why they said (the whole day of Ashura and the whole land of Karbala)? Ashura and Karbala remained and today they have reached us to say that every day is Ashura for us, with the choices we make and the paths we take, in every place and responsibility we are placed, it is Karbala for us to see Ashraf coins. Ibn Ziyad and the craving for the government of Ray deceive us and we draw the spears on our heads and pray the thanksgiving prayer or....
Preservation of appearances and the development of Hosseini's rites is important and valuable and has its own effects and blessings, as it has left deep and profound effects on societies in all the past centuries, but only paying attention to appearances will definitely affect the innermost and the truth of the lasting movement of the Karbala caravan. It will have bad effects, and this is definitely not what Imam Sajjad (a.s.) and Zainab (s.a.) have asked us to do as visionaries and messengers of Karbala.
In these sad days, which is adorned with the name and lasting and eternal memory of Aba Abda...? Al-Hassan (AS), we ask the Almighty God to help us in the Ashuras on our way, that in front of Ibn Ziyad's army outside and inside us, with With a strong faith, a high head and a firm stature, let's go to the tent of pride, love and bravery of the caravan of Hossein (AS). God willing.
