 Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim I start in the name of Allah the All-Merciful, the Ever-Merciful and they have a lasting curse beyond the Satan and his followers. Allah's blessings and peace be upon Muhammad the Prophet and upon his pure family. Our respected viewers, before starting with this episode, allow me as usual to start with one of the saints of the Masjid of martyrs, Imam al-Hussain, alaihi salam, when he says, O Allah, I have left the entire world for your sake and I have also orphaned my children so that I can be with you. So if I am caught into pieces for your love, then my heart would never lean to none other than you. Our respected viewers, peace and blessings be upon you and welcome to Islam al-Hussain, a series of episodes in which we talk about the different stages of Imam Hussain's life starting from his miraculous birthday, talking about some of the stories and events happened to him during his holy life, mentioning some of the prophetic quotes said in his right and then ending up with his unmatchable martyrdom. My name is Hassan Hadi and I'm honored to be hosting this program. Our respected viewers, in the last episode, we spoke about Imam Hussain, alaihi salam, being in Mecca and we also spoke about the letters of support the Imam received from his followers in Kufa. However, in today's episode, we will talk about Imam Hussain's messenger sent to Kufa, Muslim bin Aqeel, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him. Our respected viewers, when Imam Hussain, alaihi salam, had dispatched Muslim bin Aqeel, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, with his response to the people of Kufa, he told him, I am sending you to the people of Kufa and very soon, Allah the Almighty will decide whatever he likes for you. I hope that both of us attain the exalted position and distinction of the martyrs, therefore, seek the assistance of Allah and begin your advance to Kufa. When you arrive there, stay with the most trustworthy person from among those people. The journey, however, to Kufa was arduous for Aqeel. Upon setting out, he traveled first to Medina to pray in the mosque of the Prophet of Islam and also to say goodbye to his family. He hired two guides to travel with him and the messengers as well and together they led for Kufa. But on the way, they went astray from the correct way and when they found their way again, they were afflicted by severe thirst from which their two guides had passed away. Our respected viewers, Muslim bin Aqeel, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, dispatched one of the messengers with a letter to the Imam, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, informing him of these two marginal events and their condition, saying, I have taken all of this as a bad omen for my mission. If you considered so, you could relieve me and send another in my place. After some time, the messenger returned with the Husayn's reply, I worry that you urging me in your letter to relieve you from the task for which I have appointed you is only out of fear. Therefore, continue with the task to which I have assigned you. Peace be upon you, O Master of martyrs, when you were born and when you were martyred and when you will be resurrected. Our respected viewers, let's pray out that Allah the Almighty hastened the reappearance of the master of our time to interpret the message of his grandfather, Al-Hussein bin Ali, when he says, I only desire to spread good values and to prevent evil. This is what we have for you in today's episode. Until we meet again, thank you very much indeed. Wassalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
