ABWA Official Website – In a statement, the Assembly of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) Lovers of Afghanistan congratulated the birth anniversaries of Imam Hussain (a.s.), Imam Sajjad (a.s.), and Hazrat Abbas (a.s.).
The statement of the Assembly of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) Lovers of Afghanistan is as follows:
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Statement of the Assembly of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) Lovers of Afghanistan regarding the birth of Imam Hussain (a.s.), Imam Sajjad (a.s.), and Hazrat Abbas (a.s.)
قال رسول الله (ص): «حُسَیْنٌ مِنِّی وانا من حُسَیْنٍ اَحَبَّ الله من اَحَبَّ حُسَیْنًا حُسَیْنٌ سِبْطٌ من الْاَسْباط»
Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h): “Hussain is from me, and I am from Hussain. May God love the one who loves Hussain. Hussain is one of my grandsons.”
Although the theological differences among Islamic denominations are undeniable, there are many issues on which there is consensus, issues that can be considered in relation to the most essential need of the Islamic society, namely the unity of the Muslim Ummah. Among those cases, we can mention the uprising of Imam Hussein (a.s.) and the Ashura event.
There are many lessons to learn from this important event in Islamic history:
Imam Hussain (a.s.) himself; that there are consensus hadiths from Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) in the sources of all Islamic denominations about the virtues of that Imam.
1. Imam Hussain (a.s.) himself; whose virtues are mentioned in many consensus hadiths narrated from Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) in the sources of all Islamic denominations. In the four stages of his life, first, he was a disciplined soldier under the orders of his father Imam Ali (a.s.); second, he was a sincere advisor to his brother Imam Hasan (a.s.) during his Imamate; third, during the ten years of the Imamate for Muslims during the reign of Muawiya, he was patient and forbearing in order to protect the common interests of the Islamic society; finally, in the fourth stage of his life, he rose up and accepted the martyrdom of himself and his companions, as well as the captivity of his family to save Islam from destruction during the reign of Yazid, when he realized that the existence of Islam was endangered.
2. The life of Abulfazl al-Abbas, the brave and courageous son of Imam Ali (a.s.), pure obedience to and follower of the must-be-obeyed Imam, unparalleled selfless and self-sacrificed in human history, and the man who welcomed martyrdom in the defense of Islamic values and the existence of Islam, under the guidance and leadership of Infallible Imam, Imam Hussain (a.s.).
3. Imam Ali ibn al-Hussain, al-Sajjad (a.s.); who was present in the Ashura incident but according to divine wisdom, he survived. By attending the court of Ibn Ziyad and Yazid in Kufa and Levant, accepting the risk of martyrdom, he propagated the goals of the Ashura uprising and explained the tragic events during the Ashura event. Also, after witnessing the tragic events on the way from Karbala to Kufa and Levant, he practiced dua and supplications on the path of spiritual advancement and reaching God.
The life path of these three Islamic figures can be a model and an example for all Islamic societies, from all different denominations and sects, and in the current situation when Muslims in different parts of the world are being attacked by the enemies of Islam, it is possible to imitate them as a consensus axis.
Now that we are at the beginning of the month of Sha’ban, the days that are the birthdays of Imam Hussain (a.s.), Abalfazl al-Abbas (a.s.), and Imam Sajjad (a.s.) respectively, on the third, fourth, and fifth of this holy month, while congratulating on the occasion of these days, the Assembly of AhlulBayt (a.s.) Lovers of Afghanistan invites the Muslim Ummah, who consider the love of AhlulBayt (a.s.) as a part of their religion, to follow the example of the AhlulBayt of the Prophet (p.b.u.h), and follow the AhlulBayt of the Prophet (p.b.u.h), especially Imam Hussain (a.s.), the lord of the youth of heaven, whose beloved is the beloved of God, for the unity of Muslims, and the defense of Islamic values and the existence of Islam.
