Muharram 10th is coinciding with martyrdom of Hazrat-i-Imam Hussain (MGBPWH). In this historical day, he along with his 72 family members and faithful colleagues were martyred in this historical day in hot desert of Karbala by supporters of Yazid and with uprising and accepting of martyrdom, the grandson of prophet Mohammad (PBUH) created a border between the fighter of right and wrong.
According to Bakhtarnews.com.af, during this historical day, the wife of prophet Mohammad (PBUH) Um-i-Salma said: In a night, Hazrat-i-Mohammad (PBUH) left his home for outside. He returned lately. His hand was full, I said, "Oh, Mohammad (PBUH). What is the situation?"
The messenger of Islam replied: This night, I was brought in a place of Iraq that is named as Karbala. It was asserted to me that there is the place of murdering of a group composed of your some offsprings and his family members. In that time, the prophet Mohammad (PBUH) opened his hand and suggested: Keep it, and when I inspected it, it was like a reddish soil and in the connection with it, the prophet (PBUH) has asserted: if this soil be changed into a fresh blood, you should know that Imam Hussain is martyred.
When Imam Hussain left for Kufa. Tomorrow that was Moharram 10th , and Imam Hussain was martyred in that day, that soil had its own state, and when I considered it at the end of that day, the soil was changed into a fresh one. I cried and desired the enemies of family member of prophet Mohammad (PBUH) be remained unaware.
As in beginning, Hazrat-i-Imam Hussain has tightened his loins due to a charter to condemn this demand of Yazid and warned not to stretch his hand to important issues of Muslims and prepared himself to fight against Yazid misbehaviors. As it was the order of Almighty Allah, with limited number, Imam Hussain hurriedly entered into bloody fighting in the land of Karbala and instructed his followers not to spare from shedding the last drop of their clean blood in the way of Almighty Allah. He regarded faith and Jehad as his life and was encouraging his colleagues and family members in this Jehad and the dignitaries of Yazid kneed to Imam.
Finally, he martyred with the arrow of enemies of Islam. Yazid bin Maawia was man of pleasure and the atmosphere of his life was full of corruption and immoralities. He was tyrant. Through varieties of intrigues, Yazid was annihilating his enemies. When he was wanting to take the allegiance from his fiefdom tyrannically, soon he was facing with the harsh resistance of Imam Hussain and his colleagues.
The uprising of Imam Hussain against Yadiz was a righteous one. Celebrating from Moharram 10th that according to messenger saysing is named as Ashura necessitates to be done and welcome by performing worships and giving alms to poor and other charity behaviors. Our pious people mark this day with grand functions country-wide. In this day, our cities and villages are witnessing of fully recitation of holy Quran with high interests and enthusiasm. In Muharram 10th, our Muslem people go to graveyards and resort to giving sermons in mosques and takias.
