Hussain RA went against the ruler of His time.
He stood against injustice.
He stood for what He believed was right.
He embraced martyrdom on that path.
We cry every year on Muharram for the pain faced by Hussain RA.
Yet we are all like people of Koofa. Silent. Not doing anything. Not even realizing ‘wrong as wrong’ in our hearts.
And above all, we are proud of it.
Our ignorance is our pride.
The lesson from Prophets is to stand against oppressors.
To stand against unjust powers.
Moosa AS against Pharaoh.
So as others.
But today, I guess, paths of Prophets are too tough to follow. To even realize right thing at heart is tough. We think it’s bad to think ‘wrong as wrong’ today.
Ignorance. Circling us from all sides.
And after ignoring all our Islamic traditions, we think we are the right ones while those who actually take the Islamic path are wrong ones.
These silent blind followers are the most cowards ones.
Afraid to think.
Happy to accept.
Following whatever is accepted widely.
Yeh 10 crore hain
Jehal ka nachor hain
