KARBALA & MUHARRAM

Every creation of Allah is best with flaws and shortcomings. It is only Allah who is exampt from this Every creation of Allah has a beginnning and an end. Again it is only Allah who is free from all faults and defects everything else is comprised of these. Allah Taala has no beginning and neither has He any end. He is the first without anything before Him and He is the last without anything after Him.
For us, our exitence is within the parameters of time comprising of second, minutes and hours. The clock of time ticks away and like a block of ice melting away in the sun, is our lives. Muharram has once again come upon us and many of us may be taken by suprise by the term new year in relation to Muharram, for sadly we only connect a new year to January. As Muslims Muharram is our new year and not January. The month of January marks the new year for the poeple of Baatil and falsehood where it has become synonymous to revelry, partying away the entire night, blaring music, and a host of other vices. For us as believers, the new year is not a reason to celebrate. Rather it is a time for reflection and pondering over the fact that one more year of our lives have gone by thus taking us closer to Allah Taala. A poet beautifully say:
“How is it possible that another year of your life has passed by and you are happy and rejoiceful? How is it possible that the movement of time can bring joy to a person whilst every new day is cutting away from his months and every new year is cutting away from his lifes? “When every moment brings him closer to his end, then just how can this call for a celebration.
So whether it is January or Muharram , either way they both mean one and the same thing. They are both cutting away from our lives. These celebrations of a new year, is only beacause those who are blinder than us have given in to their biddin. Hadrat Moulana Khatani Shaahib i this bayaan highlights our plight and folly when we join in these worthless and detrimental celebration in the name of a new year. We claim to be Nabi (S.A.W.) yet actions and our lifestyles believe these claims. Dressed in attire that is the dress code of theenemies of Allah Taala and His beloved Rasul (S.A.W.), we take streets, raising flags and shouting slogans, all in defense of the honour of our beloved Nabi (S.A.W.)-if this is not hypocrisy, then what is hyponcrisy?This type of claim cannot exonerate us in the court of Allah Taala. This is the message in the first part of this bayaan.
In the second part of this bayaan the orator enlightens us about the significance of Muharram of Muharram and the Hijri Calender, in particular the sacrifice and Qurbaani of Hijri that gave rise to our calander. In this part of the bayaan, the orator speaks on the aspect of sacrifices made by Nabi (S.A.W.) and his many companions for the upliftment of Deen. He then moves to the histroric and unforgettable battle of Karbala in which 72 members from the household of Nabi (S.A.W.) laid down their lives for the Deen of Allah.
In this Bayaan of over an hour, heart-wrenching detail of Karbala are given beginning with the order of battle right up to the actual martydom of the yongest grandson of Nabi (S.A.W.). Hadrat Hussain (R.A). The space contraints do not allow us to provide any further details of a bayaan that falls nothing short of heart-rending as we relive Karbala. A Bayaan that would move even the most hard-hearted of us to tears. A Bayaan that is sure to awaken the spirit of sacrifice for Deen in every one of us.
