Sheikh Hussain Akraf recites a latmaya/Islamic eulogy on the anniversary of Wafat/the death of Ummul Baneen (a). Ummul Baneen (a) is the wife of Imam Ali (a), and the mother of Abbas (a), who was killed in Karbala defending Imam Hussain and Islam from severe oppression, over 1,300 years ago.

الرغم من أن الإمام الحسين (ع) توفى قبل 1300 عام ، الا ان شهادته و جهوده و مأساته لا زالت مدرسةً للملايين . فالملايين حتى اليوم ، يبكون من اجله و ينعونه كأنه استشهد بالأمس فقط .

هذه اللطمية ذكرى لأهل بيت الرسول محمد (ص)و جهودهم و الظلم الذي اصابهم .
و اللطم هو طريقة تقليدية لإظهار الحزن ، و أساسه يمثل الإرتباط بأهل بيت محمد (ص)و مأساتهم ، كما يجعل جو الحزن . بالإضافة الى انه يبرهن ان حبهم امر مهم و نقي ..
و الله سيجزي المحبين خيراً ..

This eulogy is a remembarance of the family of Mohammed and their struggles and oppression. The chest beating as just a cultural way of mourning, many different cultures have their own ways of mourning and grieving. Chest beating is like clapping, it has no significant harm to the body. Mourning for the Holy Prophet (saw) and his family shows our grief and sadness for their tragedies. Showing love for them is important, pure, and rewardable by Allah (swt), and is a command of the Holy Quraan:

قُل لَّا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى
(Surat 42, ayaat 23)


Ummul Baneen (a) lost four sons in Karbala who all died defending Imam Hussain (a), the grandson of the Holy Prophet Mohammed (saw). Despite this, she did not ask about them, she only asked about Imam Hussain (a), because of her devotion to him. Her son was Abel Fothlel (the father of virtues) Abbas (a), the half-brother of Imam Hussain, displayed every virtue in Karbala whilst dying proctecting Imam Hussain (a.s.) and Islam.
Despite that Imam Hussain died over 1300 years ago, his martyrdom, struggle and tribulation is an inspiration to millions around the world today. Millions mourn and cry for him, as if he died yesterday.

***

Surely we belong to God, and to him we shall surely return

لاَّ يُحِبُّ اللّهُ الْجَهْرَ بِالسُّوَءِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ إِلاَّ مَن ظُلِمَ وَكَانَ اللّهُ سَمِيعًا عَلِيمًا
Allah loveth not that evil should be noised abroad in public speech, except where injustice hath been done; for Allah is He who heareth and knoweth all things.
(Surat 4, Ayaat 148)

وَمَا بِكُم مِّن نِّعْمَةٍ فَمِنَ اللّهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فَإِلَيْهِ تَجْأَرُونَ
And ye have no good thing but is from Allah: and moreover, when ye are touched by distress, unto Him ye cry with groans;
(Surat 16, Ayaat 53)

قُل لَّا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى
Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives;
(Surat 42, Ayaat 23)

ذَلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَائِرَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ
That (shall be so); and whoever respects the signs of Allah, this surely is (the outcome) of the piety of hearts.
(Surat 22, Ayaat 32)

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَى بِآيَاتِنَا أَنْ أَخْرِجْ قَوْمَكَ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَذَكِّرْهُمْ بِأَيَّامِ اللّهِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَاتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ
We sent Moses with Our signs (and the command). "Bring out thy people from the depths of darkness into light, and teach them to remember the Days of Allah." Verily in this there are Signs for such as are firmly patient and constant,- grateful and appreciative.
(Surat 14, Ayaat 5)
