 I would like to start in the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Ever-Merciful, and the everlasting curse beyond the Satan and his followers. Now let me just quote what Al-Imam Al-Hussain, alaihi salam, said. I revolted neither for wickedness nor for fame, verily I rose to seek reform in the nation of my grandfather, namely the messenger of Allah. Nearly 1400 years have elapsed and still these words, said by the master of the murders, are still deeply ringing in the consciousness of humanity. Peace be upon your respected viewers and welcome to Ismail Hussain, a series of episodes in which we will be elaborately talking about the different stages of Imam Hussain starting from his miraculous birthday and ending with his unique unparalleled martyrdom. My name is Hassan Hadi and I'm honored to be hosting this program. Now talking of Imam Hussain's birthday and martyrdom, it's reported in the books of history that Imam Hussain, alaihi salam, was born in the third year after Hijrah and was murdered on the 10th of Muharram. For the year 61 after Hijrah. Imam Hussain, alaihi salam, was murdered by the army of Obaidullah ibn Ziyad, the governor of Kufa during the caliphate of Yazid ibn Muawiyah. Allah's curses be upon them both. Now talking of the great noble family to which Imam Hussain was born, Imam Hussain simply was born to a family known for its nobility, a family known for their equality, a family known for its compassion, for knowledge, for loving, helping the elderly and whatsoever. His grandfather was the prophet of Islam. His mother was the prophet's daughter, Fatima al-Zahra, the mistress of the women of the world. And his father was the commander of the faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib, alaihi salam. So this is who was Imam Hussain and this is where he was born. He was born to a family known for all these Islamic qualities and Imam Hussain accordingly inherited all these Islamic principles from that family. Now as it's narrated in the books of history that the period of time between the birth of Imam Hassan and the birth of Imam Hussain was 6 months and 10 days. Now speaking of the miracles that produced at the birthday of Imam Hussain, a sheikh sadoq quotes from Safiyah ibn Abu Talib that when Imam Hussain was born, she was attending to Lady Fatima, Imam Hussain's mother. While the prophet of Islam came and he asked Safiyah, oh and bring me my son. Safiyah replied, oh messenger of Allah, I have not yet purified the newborn. The prophet of Islam surprisingly replied, will you purify him? Rather Allah, the exalted has cleansed and purified him. This is one of the miracles, another miracle that happened to Imam Hussain during his birthday. Imam Hussain narrates that it normally none, a women's period of time is of 9 months and that a baby born in 6 months can never survive except for prophet Isa, the son of Mary and Imam Hussain. The last miracle that produced at the birthday of Imam Hussain, here both Imam Sadaq and Imam Rida, have reported that when Imam Hussain was born, he had received no milk from any women as an infant even from his mother Fatima. Rather said Imam Sadaq, he would be brought to the messenger of God who would place his thumb in the child's mouth and he would receive sustenance in this way that would tide him over for 3 days at a time. In this way, the flesh of Hussain and his blood has grown from the messenger's blood and flesh and therefore the prophet of Islam, peace be upon him and upon his pure family, has said that Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain. Whoever hurts Hussain, hurts me and whoever pleases Hussain, pleases me. Now let me move on to a glimpse of Imam Hussain's martyrdom. Imam Hussain's martyrdom was predicted and the prophet was foretold by Angel Gabriel that Imam Hussain will be killed right from the nation of the prophet of Islam. And here Imam Sadaq, peace be upon him, says that even before his birth, it was well known that Imam Hussain, peace be upon him, would be motted on the plains of Karbala. Imam Sadaq also continues saying that when Fatima, peace be upon him, became pregnant with Hussain, Angel Gabriel came to the prophet of Islam and told him, Fatima will give birth to a son who will be murdered by your nation after your death. So Imam Sadaq, peace be upon him, continues saying that when Fatima became pregnant with Hussain, peace be upon him, she was in a state of tribulation. And when he was born, she also was in a state of tribulation over his birth. The Imam continues saying, in this world, you will never see a mother in a state of tribulation over giving birth to her child, but she was upset by her knowledge that he will be murdered. In this regard, Imam Sadaq, peace be upon him, says this verse was revealed for this regard. If I may read out to you this verse from the Holy Quran, we have enjoyed man to be kind to his parents. His mother has carried him in tribulation and bore him in tribulation and his gestation and weaning take 30 months. In the next episode, by Allah's will, we will be talking about Imam Hussain's youth and the lessons that can be taken from the message and sacrifice of Imam Hussain. Let's pray that Allah the Almighty hastened their appearance of the master of our time to interpret what Imam Hussain came for when he said, that I desire to spread the values of good and to prevent evil. This is what we have for you today. Until we meet with a new episode, thank you very much indeed for joining us and assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
