1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,160
Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him.

2
00:00:08,660 --> 00:00:14,620
Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him, the grandson of our Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,

3
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,980
and the son of Hazrat Ali, peace be upon him, was born in the fourth year of the Hegira.

4
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:28,200
His mother was Hazrat Fatima, the only daughter to continue the line of our Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

5
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:37,360
He was given the name Hussain, meaning fine or handsome in Arabic, by Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

6
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:49,140
Some of Hazrat Hussain's nicknames were Sibit, grandson, Sayyidi, shuhada, tabili, amrila, he who obeys Allah's command,

7
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,540
Zaki, and Mubarak.

8
00:00:52,540 --> 00:00:59,960
Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him, bore a close resemblance to the Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

9
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,020
Hazrat Ali, peace be upon him, said of that similarity,

10
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,700
Hassan resembled Rasulullah from his breast to his head, and Hussain from there down.

11
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:17,920
Hazrat Hussain passed in the deep love and affection of Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

12
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,820
Following the martyrdom of our Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,

13
00:01:23,340 --> 00:01:28,920
he completed his education and upbringing at the side of Hazrat Ali, peace be upon him.

14
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,420
He had eight children, five boys and three girls.

15
00:01:33,340 --> 00:01:38,920
Like his older brother, Hazrat Hassan, peace be upon him, Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him,

16
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:46,840
would also sit on Rasulullah's, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, blessed knees, and grew up with a profound love in his heart.

17
00:01:47,580 --> 00:01:53,960
Our Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, was full of love for his grandsons and enjoyed playing with them.

18
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,760
A group of companions accompanied Rasulullah to a dinner to which he was invited.

19
00:01:59,380 --> 00:02:02,800
They met his grandson, Hussain, on the road. He was playing with the children.

20
00:02:03,140 --> 00:02:10,220
When Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, saw the boy, he passed in front of the group and opened his arms to embrace him.

21
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:13,440
The boy began scampering to the right and to the left.

22
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,580
Rasulullah copied him, running right and left until he caught him.

23
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:23,340
When he caught him, he placed one hand under his chin and the other on the back of his neck and kissed him.

24
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:31,340
Hussain is my descendant. Whoever loves Hussain, Allah will love him. Hussain is a grandson of grandsons.

25
00:02:32,620 --> 00:02:36,940
In one hadith, our Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said,

26
00:02:37,780 --> 00:02:42,380
Hasan and Hussain are the two sa'idh of the young people of Paradise.

27
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:50,780
Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him, was full of the love of Allah, heroic, morally virtuous, compassionate, and generous.

28
00:02:50,780 --> 00:02:54,520
In his will, addressed to his brother, Muhammad bin Hanifiyah,

29
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,360
Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him, said,

30
00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:01,460
Let the people of the world know that I am not the one who seeks rank or station,

31
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,560
nor a spreader of strife, a disturber of the peace, or a despot.

32
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,000
I have no such aims.

33
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,260
My position is to purify.

34
00:03:09,740 --> 00:03:12,780
My aim is to purify the ummah of my ancestor.

35
00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:17,020
I wish to command what is lawful and forbid what is unlawful.

36
00:03:17,020 --> 00:03:19,120
In similar words, he also said,

37
00:03:19,940 --> 00:03:25,180
I did not leave Medina out of excess, for rank, to spread strife, or to oppress others.

38
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:28,100
My aim is to purify the ummah of my ancestor,

39
00:03:28,460 --> 00:03:31,300
to command what is lawful and forbid what is unlawful,

40
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,540
and to act along the line of my ancestor Rasulullah and my father Ali.

41
00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:40,700
The Martyrdom of Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him.

42
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,840
Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him, served as imam for ten years.

43
00:03:47,020 --> 00:03:52,020
All but six months of that time were spent under the most harsh and difficult conditions.

44
00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:56,320
Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him, was martyred at Karbala,

45
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,040
together with seventy-two blessed companions,

46
00:03:59,580 --> 00:04:03,580
on the tenth day of the month of Muharram, in 681 A.D.

47
00:04:04,420 --> 00:04:07,460
Following the martyrdom of Hazrat Ali, peace be upon him,

48
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:10,240
the Caliphate passed to Muawiyah.

49
00:04:10,580 --> 00:04:13,140
Muawiyah sought to ensure, during his lifetime,

50
00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:17,040
that the Caliphate would pass to his son, Yazid, after his death.

51
00:04:18,140 --> 00:04:20,720
He made his supporters swear allegiance to Yazid.

52
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,280
When Yazid took over, the first thing he did was to write to the governor of Medina

53
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:27,500
and demand that he swear allegiance to him,

54
00:04:27,860 --> 00:04:31,420
not to Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him, on pain of death.

55
00:04:31,420 --> 00:04:35,340
At this point, Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him,

56
00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:39,660
was receiving letters from the people of Kufa, offering their allegiance.

57
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:46,980
At this, Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him, and his companions set out for Kufa.

58
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,080
They pitched camp at Karbala, near Kufa.

59
00:04:51,020 --> 00:04:55,260
Yazid sent an army of thirty thousand against Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him.

60
00:04:55,260 --> 00:05:01,660
Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him, and his blessed family were deprived entirely of water.

61
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:10,640
Then, Hazrat Hussain's, peace be upon him, six-month-old son, Ali Askar, was martyred by an arrow.

62
00:05:11,620 --> 00:05:16,320
Following the martyrdom of Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him, and his seventy-two companions,

63
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:19,800
the women and children with him were taken prisoner by Yazid.

64
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:26,020
Among those who spent years in captivity were Hazrat Hussain's, peace be upon him,

65
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,960
sister, Zainab, and his son, Zainal Labidin.

66
00:05:31,660 --> 00:05:34,820
Our blessed Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,

67
00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:39,900
foresaw the martyrdom of Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him, in a most miraculous way.

68
00:05:40,620 --> 00:05:43,260
Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,

69
00:05:43,780 --> 00:05:45,600
described that martyrdom as follows,

70
00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:48,260
and it happened, just as he foretold.

71
00:05:48,260 --> 00:05:52,040
The messenger of Allah was sleeping one day.

72
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,200
There was red earth in his hand.

73
00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:58,060
O Rasulullah, what is that soil, I asked.

74
00:05:58,820 --> 00:05:59,360
He said,

75
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:03,080
Gabriel said he, Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him,

76
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:05,320
will be martyred in Iraqi lands.

77
00:06:05,860 --> 00:06:07,380
This soil comes from there.

78
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,760
Hussain, my son, will be martyred in the place known as Karbala.

79
00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:15,800
Let anyone who sees him go to his assistance.

80
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,980
At this, Enes bin al-Harris went to Karbala.

81
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,300
He was martyred there, together with Hazrat Hussain, peace be upon him.

82
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:30,340
Adnan Oktar

83
00:06:30,340 --> 00:06:34,700
Hazrat Hassan and Hazrat Hussain are my forebears.

84
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,780
I curse those who martyred them.

85
00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:37,980
May Allah curse them.

86
00:06:38,580 --> 00:06:42,180
My lion, Hazrat Ali, peace be upon him, was also martyred.

87
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,400
Hazrat Hamza was also martyred.

88
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:45,920
They were most heroic.

89
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,440
We have always given up martyrs, and we must never mourn them.

90
00:06:49,980 --> 00:06:51,460
One must not mourn for martyrs.

91
00:06:51,540 --> 00:06:52,600
One must be proud of them.

92
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,560
I am proud of them, Inshallah.

93
00:06:54,940 --> 00:06:56,980
But we remember them with love and affection.

94
00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:58,660
They are most dear to us.

95
00:06:59,140 --> 00:07:02,080
They are the Sa'ids of the people of Paradise, Inshallah,

96
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,600
as our Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, says.

97
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:35,580
I am proud of them, Inshallah, as our Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, says.
