Let us think for one moment; how would we really feel if our most beloved child, or some one whom we loved the most, was unfairly imprisoned? Would we just forget about him/her and unworryingly, get on with our every day lives as if nothing has happened, or would we try, hope and pray for his/her freedom, and cry broken heartedly because of his/her unjust captivity?

 



In many ways in this site -kindfather.com-, we have been trying to show how the Religion of Allah, after the Prophets of Allah such as Moses and Jesus and … (PBUT), has been imprisoned at the hands of usurpers and oppressors. Yes! The Religion of Allah has become the victim of captivity; as documented in the Nahj-Ol-Balaaghah, "Aseer (prisoner)" is exactly the word used by the Amir-Ol-Mo'menin, Hadrat Ali (PBUH) in regard to the Religion of Allah and that which the usurpers were doing to it.

 

Throughout history, by disregarding and changing the commands of Allah, and also through attempting to confine the celestial Religion of Allah, in the earthly boundaries of Philosophy and calling it Divine, and restraining it in the imaginary horizons of all kinds of old and modern Sufism and Gnosticism, and …, the Religion of Allah has been imprisoned and therefore, the Eternal Salvation of humankind has actually been captured in the savage clutches of distortions!

 

For those who truly have loved Allah and His Wishes more than any thing else, more than money and power, even more than their children and loved ones, watching their most beloved being imprisoned, has been tough; on the other hand, of course for the dark hearted who have made themselves blind to see and understand the Truth, and have held themselves from finding their love for Allah, it has been worldly and animal life as usual, but at time of leaving this world, it has definitely been another story for them, and they have finally faced what they have been running away from … .

 

But, for those who truly have loved Allah the most, such as Imam Hossain (PBUH), this life has been full of heartbreaks, the hardest thing for such people -being so loving and benevolent- , has always been, watching the Religion of Allah in captivity, and therefore observing people on their way to Perdition. Of course Imam Hossain (PBUH) was the Chosen Imam by Allah, so on His command , he reacted and with his blood, he wrote in the hearts of all who care until Eternity, the red warning that the Religion of Allah has been imprisoned. But for the rest of us, living in the Occultation era of our Infallible Imam, we have just been trying, watching and experiencing the hardships of the Truth being in captivity; every once in a while we may have been blessed with the opportunity of trying to awaken some one, that is of course if we have not fallen asleep ourselves! We do cry wholeheartedly for our love -the Truth- that has been in prison, and we do pray for the Appearance of Imam Mahdi -the lord of Truth- (PBUH), until when finally the Religion of Allah will be freed after such a long captivity. And meanwhile, certainly in the same manner that we do not cry for Yazeed and 'Omar son of Sa'd and Shemr and … and their followers who were killed at 'Aashoora (The La'n of Allah and his angels and all Believers be upon them), we never do cry for the sufferings of all usurpers and their followers, those who have imprisoned the Truth and have been proud of it, such as they who have been celebrating 'Aashoora, have been setting their weddings on this day, have been fasting on this day, considering it blessed , and …; yes, we never compare 'Aashoora with any other day and most certainly have no sympathy for and surely do not cry for the enemies of the Prophets and the AhlulBayt (PBUT). As Imam Hassan said to his brother, Imam Hossain (PBUT), no day is ever like 'Aashoora!

 

Crying for 'Aashoora, is not just crying for the severe and unbearable pains which the most beloved and beautiful creations of Allah, those who were the manifestation of the Truth, endured -which itself is reason enough to cry forever, that is if we are blessed to recognize who Hossain, Abbaas, Zaynab and … are- but it is also, crying for the captivity of the Truth; it is, crying for the imprisonment of the Word and Religion of Allah; it is, crying for the confinement of Mahdi (PBUH) -the last manifestation of the Religion of Allah-, as the direct result of all distortions and usurpations, he who is the living Qur'an, the breathing Qur'an, the manifestation of the Word of Allah, the living Truth who is imprisoned in the prison of Disappearance, mainly because humankind have not cared enough and not taken Allah seriously!!! But there shall come the day when the Religion of Allah shall finally be freed, and only then, shall be when the tears will be over.

 

With all this in our minds and hearts, let us think deeply about a certain news which the most beloved ever created by the One and Only Allah -All Glory be to Him-, Hadrat Mohammad (PBUH&HP) delivered to his beloved daughter Fatemah (PBUH). You know how delivering any bad news is always the hardest, when it is delivered to a mother … .

 

When Hossain (PBUH) was only a child, the Prophet (PBUH&HP) told his beloved daughter Fatemah (PBUH) that Hossain would be killed. The Lady started to cry wholeheartedly. She asked her father about the time of it; the Prophet responded that it would be when she and he and Ali (PBUT) would not be there. The Lady cried harder and harder. Then she asked his father that if it was so, then who would mourn and cry for Hossain? The Prophet (PBUH&HP) replied that there would be men and women from his Ommat (nation) who would cry for Hossain and for the men and women of his Household, group after group, in every year; then he told her that on Judgment Day she would intercede for the mourning women and he for the men, and that they would take their hands and enter them to Heavens. Our beloved Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP) then stated the following unforgettable statement:

 

"ON THE DAY OF QIYAAMAT ALL EYES WILL BE TEARFUL, UNLESS THE EYES THAT HAVE CRIED FOR THE HARDSHIPS OF HOSSAIN."
