In these days when certain people -some unaware of the lies and distortions and some quite aware- have been commemorating December 25th as the birth anniversary of the Prophet Jesus (PBUH), as a token of our humility to those sincere-hearted former Christians who have been blessed to see the Light, we wish to present a heart-touching beautiful true story regarding Lady Maryam -Mary- (PBUH) and Karbala. But first, we wish to share with you a sincere statement from a formerly christian lady; another living proof that the love of the One and Only Allah, His Everlasting Truth, and His Pure and Humble Chosen Guides (PBUT) exist in all hearts and souls, and if Fetrats (innate Divinely bestowed Recognition of Allah and His Chosen Ones …) were not buried under piles of dust and dirt of ignorance, the love of this world, sinfulness, selfishness and …, the Light of the Truth would have surely shone through:
Assalamu Alaykum
Peace and Greetings to you at this time when the view of Hussein The Brave and Beautiful (as) has come into focus and his life and death have been brought to mind yet again. Surely his life has shone with such brilliance that death has been overcome in the magnificence of martyrdom. Just as the stars shine forth on the backdrop of darkest night, we see the outcome of his sacrifice in the living faith of Islam through which the blackness of deviation and evil in his era were defeated. The pain is overcome by the joy which has been brought forth through his life, his death ...Truly he was the Victor in this saga…..proof of Allah’s bestowal of Wilayat.
May Allah’s blessings be with you at this time, and may this find you well.
Fi Aman Allah
Wassalaam

In Surah Maryam (19) of the Majid Qur'an, the story of Hadrat Maryam (PBUH) has been narrated:
Qur'an 19:16 And mention Maryam in the Book when she drew aside from her family to an eastern place.
Qur'an 19:17 So she took a veil (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our (created) Spirit, and there appeared to her a perfect man.
Qur'an 19:18 She said: "Surely I seek refuge from you to the Beneficent Allah, if you are one having Taqwa (guarding against evil)."
Qur'an 19:19 He said: "I am only a messenger of your Lord, that I may bestow on you a pure son."
Qur'an 19:20 She said: "How shall I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?"
Qur'an 19:21 He said: Even so; your Lord says: "It is easy to Me: and that We may make him a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us, and it is a matter which has been decreed."
Qur'an 19:22 And she conceived him (Hadrat 'Eesa -Jesus-) and she withdrew with him to a far place.
Qur'an 19:23 And the throes (of childbirth) drove her to betake herself to the trunk of a palm tree. She said: "Oh, would that I had died before this, and had been a thing quite forgotten!"
Qur'an 19:24 Then (the child) called out to her from beneath her: "Grieve not, surely your Lord has made a stream to flow beneath you;
Qur'an 19:25 And shake towards you the trunk of the (dry) palmtree, it will drop on you fresh ripe dates;
Qur'an 19:26 So eat and drink and refresh the eye. Then if you see any mortal, say: Surely I have vowed a fast to the Beneficent Allah, so I shall not speak to any human today."
Qur'an 19:27 And she came to her people with him, carrying him. They said: "O Maryam! surely you have done a strange thing;
Qur'an 19:28 O sister of Haaroon! your father was not a bad man, nor, was your mother an unchaste woman."
Qur'an 19:29 But she pointed to him. They said: "How should we speak to one who is a child in the cradle?"
Qur'an 19:30 He (Hadrat 'Eesa) said: "Surely I am a servant of Allah (not the son of God!); He has given me the Book and made me a Prophet; …
As we read the aforementioned verses of the Holy Qur'an, we see that two moves had occurred; firstly the Lady went to an eastern place (Qur'an 19:16) where the angel appeared to her and gave her the wonderful news about the miracle of conceiving a pure son and thus she conceived the Prophet 'Eesa -Jesus- (PBUT); then secondly, she with the child in her womb withdrew to a far place (Qur'an 19:22). The fourth Imam, Ali son of Hosain (PBUT) has clarified that after Hadrat Maryam conceived the child, the "far place" she went with him (Qur'an 19:22) was Karbala, and then she gave birth to Hadrat 'Eesa in the place where Hadrat Hosain would be buried; she then miraculously returned the same night. (Tafseer Borhaan, …)
The All-Knowing Allah -Glory be to He- with His encompassing Knowledge of the past, present and the future, from the beginning knew that certain humanoids! freely would choose this world to the extent that they would commit the lowest crime of history in Karbala; so from the beginning the Prophets and their Successors (PBUT) and … were told the sad and heart breaking news about Karbala, and they visited Karbala and cried … . The angel Jebraa'il (Gabriel) sang lamentations regarding Karbala and Imam Husain (PBUH) for Adam (PBUH) and he cried …; the Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) at time of his trial regarding his son Ismael (PBUH) was told about Karbala and Imam Hosain (PBUH) and he cried …; the Prophet Zakariya (PBUH) …; and … .
Yes Karbala is where Imam Hosain (PBUH), the Chosen Hojjat and Wali of Allah, the grandson of the most beloved by Allah, the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP), with his holy blood and the sacred blood of his beloved family and companions has written until eternity, in front of the eyes of the conscience of the entire humankind that the Truth of Allah has been distorted … . Karbala was the result of disobedience of humankind; the direct result of the sad fact that many had turned their backs to the Prophets of Allah and their Chosen Successors (PBUT) . And today this question must be answered by all: How long more is humankind going to live with lies and distortions and not care?!
Finally there shall come the day when the Truth will appear, when Hadrat Mahdi (PBUH), the last Successor of the Last Prophet of Allah shall Emerge and will put an end to all lies; the Prophets and Successors (PBUT) and … who have been mourning for Karbala will return and witness the glory of the Truth; the unjustly taken blood of Prophets and Chosen Ones such as Imam Hosain (PBUT) shall be sought and avenged … .
Among those who'll return, shall be the Prophet Jesus (PBUH) who will assist Hadrat Mahdi (PBUH); the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) has said:
'Eesa (Jesus) will descend to the Moqaddas land, upon a passage way called 'Afiq'; then he ('Eesa) shall enter the Bait-Ol-Maqdas (Jerusalem) while people will be in (preparation of ) the Morning Salaat (Prayer); and the Imam (Mahdi) will step back, but 'Eesa shall give him (Mahdi) the lead, and ('Eesa) will perform the Salaat behind him (Mahdi) based on the Shari'at of Mohammad, and ('Eesa) will say: YOU ARE THE AHLUL BAYT THAT NO ONE SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER.
(Shi'ah documents: Montakhab-Ol-Athar, p. 316; Yawm-Ol-Khalaas, p. 552; …; Sunni documents: Sawaa'eq-Ol-Mohraqah, p. 162; …)
