Kashaful Aza

Qadqamatis Salat

This is the point where people try to damage the foundation of Karbala. Those so called scholars whom people practically worship, when they got power they started saying (maaz?Allah) the reason Imam Hussain (as) went against yazid (la) was to gain the power of government. You can read its details in our book "Kashaful Haqaiq".

When the people saw their so called scholars saying such evil things, they also did the same. They even openly insult Imam (as) in the imambargahs. Some people say (maaz?Allah) Imam Hussain (as) waged a war against yazid (la) without any planning. This is why He was unsuccessful and the Islamic government did not become established.

This claim was so dangerous; if it had gained even a little popularity (may Allah forbid), then there would be no sign of azadari today. People would instead be arranging condolence seminars and political gatherings, but no one can vanquish the Noor of Allah with their words.

Allah has taken the responsibility of the remembrance of Imam Hussain (as) upon Himself. It is not the responsibility of the creation. The greatest azadar (mourner) of Imam Hussain (as) is Allah Himself. Allah is the one who will take the revenge of the blood that was spilled from Imam Hussain (as).

Imam Hussain (as) did not stand against yazid (la) in 60 Hijra. It was decided upon the day of creation. From that moment, the preparations for this event began. Every Nabi (as) knew of the details of Karbala. Every prophet and his successor wept over Imam Hussain (as) throughout their whole lives. Every one is aware that all the prophets came to teach people about the oneness of Allah.

Tawheed can only be known and recognized through wilayat. In order to recognize and understand Allah, it is necessary to call upon Him using different names such as Rahman (Merciful), Raheem (Gracious), Ghaffar (Forgiving), Sattar ( ) etc. We cannot recognize and remember Him without these names. All of these names are related to His attributes.

All of His attributes are under wilayat. In order to understand tawheed, you must understand wilayat. The mahzer (manifestation) of the wilayat of Allah is Moula Ameerul Momineen Ali (as) ibn Abi Talib (as). The summary of religion is to gain the marifat (recognition) of the wilaya t e Ameerul Momineen (as). No one can understand tawheed and become the follower of tawheed without gaining the marifat of Ameerul Momineen (as).

This is why Ameerul Momineen (as) said, "All the nations were forgiven because of Me. All the nations were destroyed because of Me." This process kept going until it reached RasoolAllah (saw). Because He was the seal of all prophets, He was given the responsibility to deliver the message of the wilayat of Ameerul Momineen (as) to the people until the day of judgment.

He officially announced the wilayat of Ameerul Momineen (as). After RasoolAllah (saw) officially announced the wilayat of Ameerul Momineen (as), Allah declared His religion to be complete and informed the people the beginning and end of religion is wilayat of Ameerul Momineen (as). Wilayat is the key of tawheed. Without it, tawheed ceases to exist. Those who were Muslim in name only and in reality were enemies of Allah completely refused to accept the wilayat of Moula Ali (as), and they waged a war against tawheed.

These people had a psychological disease, and the hatred of Moula Ali (as) was its foundation. Its only treatment was the blood of Imam Hussain (as). This disease kept increasing. It reached its climax on the day of Saqifa. No expert surgeon will operate on a wound until it reaches a point where it is suitable for operation.

This is why Ameerul Momineen (as) bore every oppression with great patience and did not take out His sword. In the war of Siffeen, when the victory was only moments away and Hz Malik ul Ashtar (ra) had reached close to the tent of muawiya (la), Ameerul Momineen (as) called him back. When he came back, he was sobbing intensely.

Moula (as) gave him courage and said, "O?Malik! Now it will be decided in Karbala." The reason being this wound was not yet treatable. For the same reason Imam Hasan (as) did not stand against muawiya (la) and kicked the power of government away from Himself.

It was the responsibility of Imam Hussain (as) to operate on this wound. Finally that day which everyone was waiting for came. People?s denials of wahi (revelation), Quran, tawheed (oneness), and their attempts to vanquish the wilayat of Ameerul Momineen (as) had reached their climax.

24 The war of Karbala was fought on the basis of the wilayat of Ali (as). The proof of this is when anyone would come out of Imam Hussain (as)?s army, he would be chanting this slogan "I am on the religion of Ali (as)". Anyone who would come out from yazid (la)?s army would be chanting "I am on the religion of muawiya (la)".

Imam Hussain (as) practically proved wilayat in Karbala. This wilayat is mixed in the blood of every soldier, female, and child of Imam Hussain (as). This is the only war in which those who were oppressed defeated the oppressor. The meanings of defeat and triumph were changed in this war. In Karbala, the slain were victorious, and those who slay them were defeated.
