Zebh ‘Azim (Grand Slaughter) Part 2

Zebh ‘Azim (Grand Slaughter)

Part 2

 

In the article “Zebh ‘Azim (Grand Slaughter)” in this site we have already discussed the issue of the slaughtered Lamb prophesied in the bible, and how Shaitan- in order to oppose the one and only Path to Salvation i.e. the Wilayat of the 14 Infallible Ones (SBUT)- has twisted and distorted facts and has tried to create other fake paths to salvation which are in reality polytheistic and blasphemous paths to perdition, such as believing in the crucifixion of jesus as god and son of god as the fulfillment of the prophecy of the slaughtered lamb … This article is to be considered as part 2 of that article; the more revised version of the whole article shall Inshaa’Allah be presented as part of the E-book “Dajjaal … Antichrist” in this site: kindfather.com …

 

In the first part of the article we saw that the prophesied Lamb in the bible can not be Prophet Jesus (SBUH); let us now, as samples, look at two Hadiths in which it was prophesied that Imam Hosain (SBUH) would be slaughtered like a sheep or lamb; may Allah, moment by moment, add to the torments of the killers of Imam Hosain (SBUH).

 

The first Hadith is actually a portion of the main Hadith presented in the first part in which Allah Himself stated that Imam Hosain (SBUH) would be slaughtered like a sheep:

 

“Then Allah told Ibrahim that a group of people considering themselves of the ummah of Mohammad (SAWA) would kill, unjustly out of animosity, Mohammad’s son Hosain (SBUT), after Mohammad (SAWA), in the same manner of slaughtering and beheading a sheep; then Allah SWT said that they would become deserving of Allah’s Wrath for that crime.”

 

In another profound Hadith Imam Reza (SBUH) talking to one of his special companions and students said:

 

“… O' son of Shabeeb! IF YOU EVER CRY FOR ANY THING, SO DO CRY FOR HOSSAIN SON OF ALI SON OF ABITAALEB (PBUT); and indeed he was slaughtered as a sheep is slaughtered! And with him were killed eighteen men from his household whom no one resembles, on earth! And certainly the Heavens and the lands cried in his killing; indeed four thousand angels descended down to earth to assist him, and they surely found him killed, and they have been next to his grave, dusty and with disheveled appearance, until when the Qaa'em (PBUH) shall Rise, so that they will be his helpers; and their slogan has been:

 

"O' THE SEEKERS OF THE BLOOD OF HOSSAIN!“ …”

 

For the complete text of this precious Hadith refer to “A rain of red dust and blood” in this site: kindfather.com

 

This “Lamb as it had been slain” according to John in his vision of future, narrated in the book of Revelation of John 5:6 was “in the midst of the Throne” … and John heard “the voice of many angels round about the throne … the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand … Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” (Rev, 5:11, 12) … and the elders “sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain …” (Rev. 5:9) … “And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them” heard John to say: “Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the Throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever” (Rev. 5:13) … “For the Lamb which is in the midst of the Throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes” (Rev. 7:17) …

 

… Yes, there shall come a day when God shall wipe away all tears from the eyes of all those who have mourned for Imam Hosain (SBUH) …

 

At the end of this writing we wish to present a few more possible indications to the twelve Infallible Imams (SBUT) in the bible:

 

Since from the beginning of the creation the only Path to Salvation has been the acceptance of the Wilayat of these 14 jewels of creation, it seems that the hopeful and glad Tidings regarding to the future coming of the lords of humankind was a major part of even religious ceremonies. Thus distorting the facts regarding such holy ceremonies and rites would surely have been part of Shaitaan’s plan for covering the Truth …

 

As a sample: Hadrat Haaroon (Aaron, SBUH), like all Divine Prophets and Successors (SBUT), was obligated to accept the Wilayat of the Last and most Exalted Prophet of Allah and his twelve Successors (SBUT) and to keep the hope of their ever-Promised coming alive in the hearts of Believers until the final victory at the hand of the Last Successor, i.e. Hadrat Mahdi (SBUH) …

 

Thus it seems that even on the holy garments which Haroon and his sons were to wear, the names of twelve lords were engraved; of course if this is so, it again needs to be kept in mind that the issue of Ta’wil (other applications) of statements has always been a part of prophecies, and that also due to all Shaitanic distortions, the original versions of such commands are not openly available; let us read what God commanded Moses (SBUH):

 

Exodus 28:1 And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office ... 28:3 And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office ... 28:4 And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office ... 28:10 Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone ... 28:12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial … and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial … 28:21 And the stones shall be … twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet … 28:29 And Aaron shall bear the names … in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually …

 

Now let us read what Dr. Thomas McElwain, a biblical language expert, has said in one of his lectures about Imam Hosain (SBUH):

 

“The word Hoosen is found in Exodus 25:7; 28:4,15,22,23,24,26,28,29,30; 29:5; 35:9,27; 39:8,9,15,16,17,19,21; and Leviticus 8:8. In every case it refers to the article of clothing worn by the ministering high priest on his chest, and containing twelve stones engraved with the names of the twelve tribes and the Urim and Thummim, oracular stones used to ascertain the divine will. No other word is used in the Hebrew Scriptures from the same root at all.”

 

Therefore the word HOOSEN in the bible is used to refer to a holy symbol of the God-chosen priest, bearing the names of twelve special ones before God.

 

If the holy breastplate with twelve holy names and stones was, prior to distortions, an either implicit or explicit indication to the twelve holy Imams (SBUT) … and if this holy breastplate of judgment called HOOSEN was in fact a special memorial and reference to the future martyr Imam HUSEIN (SBUH) from whom the last nine Infallible Imams (SBUT), including the Savior of humankind, were to come … Allah Knows Best …

 

Dr. Thomas McElwain also believes that in the book of psalms in the bible there are still indications to the twelve holy Imams (SBUT); again let us keep in mind the issues of prophecy, Ta’wil and distortions:

 

“What must be examined is the many series of twelve that exist in the Bible for evidence of characteristics for each of the twelve slots in the series, and whether or not those characteristics parallel those of the twelve Shi’ite Imams (as) and correspondingly of Imam Husayn (as) in particular.

 

“These series are specifically the twelve reigning patriarchs of the Book of Genesis, the twelve sons of Ishmael (as), the twelve sons of Jacob (as), the twelve judges of the Book of Judges, the twelve righteous kings of Judah, and the twelve apostles of Jesus (as). Aside from series of human figures, there are many series of twelve to be found in the Bible.

 

“Among these are passages containing twelve sections, and passages containing twelve references to a particular word. The former type is particularly fruitful. There are a number of such passages in the Book of Psalms, including many Psalms of twelve verses each, and most notably the series of twelve Psalms entitled Psalms of Asaph.

 

“A careful comparison of the twelve Psalms of Asaph to the names of the twelve sons of Ishmael, which give the clues to the characteristics of each of the twelve slots, shows that these Psalms reflect the character of each of the twelve Imams.

 

“We shall focus specifically on Psalm 74, which is, within this schema, prophetic of the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (as). It is the third of the Psalms of Asaph.

 

“1 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the SHEEP of thy pasture?

 

“The maschil is a didactic Psalm, one for instruction. The instruction is not necessarily in the wisdom genre, nor even law. It can be instruction in prophecy in the sense of future events. The content of this Psalm appears strange as a subject of instruction, since it is couched in words of appeal to God to intervene in a difficult situation. In fact, this appeal to intervene is the anguish the Psalmist feels as he contemplates the future event about which he is instructing.

 

“The word Asaph means a convener or collector, and is probably a title conferred on the one who convened the liturgical choir established by David (as), noted in 1 Chronicles 6:39. This may have been taken as a personal name, or having been born to the post may have been given a name appropriate to his activity.”

 

[Here it is noteworthy to mention that according to Islamic documents the name of the God chosen Successor of Prophet Solayman (Solomon, SBUH) son of the Prophet Daawood (David, SBUH) was Aasef (Aseph, Asaph …) son of Barkhiya (SBUH), a Knowledgeable and gifted man; if this Asaph is the same person, indeed he was obligated to save and propagate the pure teachings of Prophets David and Solomon (SBUT), for he was the Successor of Hadrat Solayman who himself was the Successor of Hadrat Daawood (SBUT). For more information in this regard please refer to “Dajjaal … Antichrist, part 9”, as part of the E-book “Dajjaal … Antichrist”, in this site: kindfather.com]

 

“As the prophet [David (SBUH)] contemplates the tragedy of Karbala’, he exclaims these words in anguish. It is possible that David (as) wrote this Psalm, although many researchers suggest that it was written by Asaph. It is also possible that David (as) was an ancestor of Imam Husayn (as) through a marriage contracted when he was a refugee among the Arab Kedarites, from whom the prophet Muhammad (as) is descended.

 

“Whether or not the prophet sees Imam Husayn (as) as a son, his anguish is similar to that of those who are horrified in all generations by the suffering he went through. The Hebrew expression does not imply that God is the originator of the tragedy or that it is a punishment. Such expressions in Hebrew merely refer to God’s sovereignty as a basis for making an appeal for help.

 

“2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

 

“Verses 2 and 3 begin by giving a pre-Islamic context. The appeal is for God, at the event of Karbala’, to remember the great things He did in ancient times to save His faithful people. The text, being didactic, uses the supplication language to insist on the need for divine deliverance. The rod of inheritance suggests that Imam Husayn (as) is descended from David (as).”

 

[Also, as discussed in “Names of Mohammad and ‘Ali (SBUT) in the Bible, part 3”, according to Genesis 49:10 (Genesis 49:10 (AMP): The scepter or leadership shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes to Whom it belongs, and to Him shall be the obedience of the people.) the scepter or the rod of inheritance was prophesied to be transferred to Shiloh, who as mentioned in the article, is the last Successor of Hadrat Mohammad (SAWA), Hadrat Mahdi (SBUH).]

 

“Redemption does not imply saving from sin, but that the person involved is especially beloved by God. The reference to Mount Zion is probably specific, although the word itself could refer to any fortress. However, it is more likely that we should see here the idea that the place of the martyrdom of Imam Husayn thereby gains the same sanctity, at least in some sense, as the house of God, which at the time of David was Quds or Jerusalem.

 

“3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

 

“The expression “lift you your feet” is again an appeal to save, but as a didactic Psalm its main import is to describe the situation as hopeless without divine intervention. The expression “perpetual desolations” aptly describes the tragedy of Karbala’. The Psalmist draws the divine attention to what the enemy has done to the “holy ones,” and by so doing draws the attention of the listener as well.

 

“4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.

 

“Verse four refers to the great tumult of enemies brought against the congregation of Husayn (as). It mentions the ensigns or banners that they raised against him.

 

“5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.

 

“6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.

 

“Verses five and six refer graphically to the mutilation of the bodies at Karbala’. It uses a continuation of the temple figures of the preceding verses. It is not unknown to compare people to trees, especially wooden embellishments in the temple. The sanctuary or temple or house of God is made up of the “people of the house.” By defacing the people of the house, the enemy was effectively carving up the house of God itself.

 

“7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

 

“Verse seven is a graphic description of the vandalizing of the camp of Husayn (as).

 

“8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

 

"Verse eight is a prophecy of the fact that the enemies of the Imam (as) had firmly decided to destroy him and his companions altogether. The prophecy continues by saying that in so doing they had effectively, from their own point of view, destroyed every place of prayer on earth. This is an extension of the figures in verse six.

 

“9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

 

“Verse ten [nine] is a lament referring to three aspects of Karbala’. At that point the banners of the Imam (as) were not to be seen flying. Secondly, there was no prophet. Thirdly, there was none among us “that knoweth how long.” That is, the man of knowledge, the Imam, had been martyred. The verse begins with the fact that the colors were not flying, and mournfully goes on to the fact that the prophet (as) was no longer. Furthermore, the last living one of the holy house that the prophet had gathered under his mantle was dead. There was no longer anyone to know how long.

 

“10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

 

“Verses ten and eleven refer to the condition of enemy dominance over the imamate. This began effectively with the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (as) and will end at the return of the Mahdi (as). The condition is one of blasphemy. Usurper rule is blasphemous, since no matter what position a ruler takes on the matter of the oneness of God, if he takes power for himself without divine authority, his action is blasphemous. This is the condition of all rulership that does not acknowledge the imamate.

 

“11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.

 

“Verse eleven uses rhetorical question and an imperative appeal to continue the prophecy in this didactic Psalm. There are two possible implications in this context. For God to pluck His hand out of His bosom means the rectification of what happened in Karbala’. It may refer only to the return of the Mahdi. On the other hand, it could well refer to the resurrection and reappearance of Imam Husayn.”

 

At the end it is noteworthy to mention that many more research are in progress by different researchers in regard to the names of Hadrat Mohammad and AhlulBayt (SBUT) in what is known as previous scriptures which will Inshaa’Allah soon be published … and may Allah hasten the glorious Appearance of Hadrat Mahdi (SBUH) when the original and everlasting Truth shall be divulged … AAMEEN …
