WE ARE PROUD OF YOU

It has become a tradition in almost all countries of the world to designate a particular day in a year as "Teacher's Day" to respect the teachers of the nation. In India the day coincides with the birthday of Dr. Radhakrishnan the philosopher president of India. In Iran the day is 2nd May which corresponds to the martyrdom anniversary of Ayatollah Murtaza Muthari. I was 20 years old when Murtaza Muthari was martyred and still remember the shock and anguish it caused although it was very early period of the revolution and the contribution of this great thinker and writer was still not fully appreciated. Now thirty years down the road of history we can appreciate the tremendous loss inflicted on us by his martyrdom. Anyone who has read him whether he agrees or disagrees cannot ignore his importance. He was martyred at the peak of his carrier and one can imagine how much more he could have contributed to development of Islamic Thought. Well martyrdom of Murtaza Muthari painful as it is is not surprisng. He is part of a tradition we followers of Ahlul Bait are proud of and cherish. Like the martyrdom of many of his predecessors starting from the martyrdom of our Imam and leader Ali ibn Abitalib his martyrdom is also a sign of weakness and cowardice of our opponents. There is a long list of them even in the contemporary world. You may have left us and succeeded in the mission of your life by following in the foot-steps of your Imam but you make us feel proud. Your memory kindles the fire of hope, dedication, and courage in the hearts of the followers of the school of Ahlul Bait. May Allah bless your, soul, accept your martyrdom and assign you place near the Leader of the Martyrs Hussain ibn Ali (A.S) and may Allah give us Toufeeq to carry on your mission.

" Culture and heritage are not about stones and buildings, they are about identities and belongings . They carry values from the past that are important for the societies today and tomorrow. We must safeguard the heritage because it is what brings us together as a community; it is what binds us within a shared destiny"  Irina Bokova (1)       The two images above are graphic representations of the problem I want to highlight in this post. The image below is the image of Baqee cemetery as it was before it was vandalized by the Wahabi, Saudi regimen. The image above is it's current status not only demolished but chained and guarded.

WE PREPARE AND THEY ALSO PREPARE

We prepare to commemorate the martyrdom of the grandson of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and they prepare to kill us. We just want to cry for Imam Hussain (A.S) and they want to prevent us from doing so. How does our crying effect them? If we are commemorating an event which is not recent and does not concern them then why are they angry with us? They say Karbala was merely a poltical battle between two persons and has no religous significane. O.K then why are you afraid? What makes you so uneasy? If few thousand mad people are commemorating an event which took place more than 1400 years ago and insist on crying, hurting themselves beating their chests how is it harming you? Just leave them alone, and they will fizzle out. Yesterday a 20 year old suicide bomber blew himself up in Kohat killing 20 people most of them shia women and children at a bus stop. What did you tell this 20 year old suicide bomber and how did you motivate him to do what he did? What danger did these women and children
