 The Day of Arba'een, the story, the tragic story of Imam Hussein. Hello everyone, my name is Qathir Hashim. I am here with my family and friends to sadly revive the story of Imam Hussein and what happens on the Day of Arba'een. We are here today to tell the world the message that Imam Hussein had told us to spread around. A message of love, of peace and of humanity. A message that shares social justice. A message that tells the world to respect and love each other. We are here to tell the world about what happened, what tragically happened to Imam Hussein and his family and friends. On the Day of Ashura, Imam Hussein was brutally killed with him and his family and friends just because he decided to stand up for justice and for what is right. As a cultural thing, we give out food to people who had passed away on the 40th day. So today here, we want to spread the message by giving out food and other free things to people and to the people who want to learn about what happened to Imam Hussein. After Imam Hussein was killed, his sister took the leadership, the lady Zaynab. She took his leadership, she took care of the children and the women because they, the enemy, had taken his children and his women as a prisoners and they were not treated well as well. The lady Zaynab took care of the children and women and she had stood up against the evil president at that time, which is a huge thing to do. She stood up and told him that what he was doing is truly wrong and it is against the humanity and human rights and social justice and dignity. She told him that what he did is very disrespectful to the people around him and all people from all cultures and religions. Today we're here to revive the story of Imam Hussein. My name is Sama and Imam Hussein was killed because he said no to violence, he said no to unfair and cruel leaders, he said no to terrorism, to oppression, he said no to racism and no to evilness and cruelness. We stand with Imam Hussein today because we say yes to social justice, we say yes to human rights, we say yes to treating everyone equally, we say yes to dignity for all people, we say yes to good and fair leaders, we say yes to spreading peace. Now where do you stand? That's the question for you. Do you stand with Imam Hussein and Tiazid? Do you stand with Moses and do you stand with Jesus or Virtus or the wicked? Where do you stand? Now what famous people had said about Imam Hussein, people all around the world and what they had said about Imam Hussein. So today we're here in Vermont but every day for us, every day is Ashwara and every land is Karbala. This message is all over the world. Hussein stood against oppression and today we stand against the same things, we stand against oppression, we stand against racism, we stand against the oppressors and we stand for justice, just how he stood. So today we're in the land of Vermont, we're in the state of Vermont but every day we remember Karbala and what happened there. And I'm gonna show you guys an example of what Imam Hussein stood for. This sticker is basically saying, if you love Imam Hussein, you are standing with the message that he sent, the message of love, of peace and of respect to everyone and to all kind of people no matter who they are, what they are, what culture they're from or religion they're from and what race they are. And here we have some things that send the same message that loving Hussein is sending the respect to everyone and standing against things like oppression and standing with social justice and humanity. The message of Imam Hussein is sending love and respect and he stood up for social justice. Now for example things that he stood up against, he stood against unfair leaders, against war, against racism, against oppression, he stood up against violence and terrorism, he stood up against evilness and cruelness and he stood up for equality. Loving Imam Hussein has gathered us and will always gather us for human rights, to stand for human rights, to stand for dignity, to stand for justice and peace for love, for social justice and to stand against oppressors, racist leaders and to stand here today.
