In the name of God the Beneficent the Merciful Answer to your
questions ·
Matam
is irrelevant to the
outsiders. ·
Why
matam on the event of
1400 years old ? ·
Why
to live like Ali when the life of Holy Prophet is the best model
? ·
Did
Shia change the Kalma ? Dear ,
we have may practices in Islam which may
be very much irrelevant to the outsiders and you being a Muslim may
not be able to justify those actions on their point of view where as
no doubt every practice in Islam has a great philosophy on its back
and outsider without deeply studying the that philosophy can never
agreed upon . For example :- 1. If
some outsider ask that why you Muslim move round a ka’aba which
is simply ( to out-
sider ) an empty room ? If he ask that is your God live in that room
? 2. Hazrat Hajrah ( mother of Hazrat Ismail ) 4000 years ran between two hills for the search of water for her thirsty son , why you , the Muslim run till to day , do you also run for the search of water ? Why to keep alive the event of 4000 years old ? ( four time older then Karbala ). 3. Why the Muslim hit the self made stone pillars ? Is Iblees ( sitting over there ) Why to keep alive the event of 4000 years old which is concerning to Hazrat Ibraheem and Hazrat Ismail where as the Muslim are not their direct Ummah ? Mover
over the action of Rammi ( hitting of three pillars ) is highly
dangerous to life, as we all know that every year many people die
during Rammi so the risk to life is definitely present. No one has
died with Matam so for where as many people have died by
performing Rammi But
no matter how a great risk to the life is present Islam wants from
every men and women , old and young to perform the Rammi even at the
risk of your life. So
as per your point of
view as we have a lot of burning problems around us so why to be so
serious for the event of very old history ( 4000 years old )
Can
you satisfy the outsiders about these practices till you fully make
them understand the
philosophy of these actions ? Are should we leave these practices as
they do not look relevant to the outsiders ? Same
situation we have with the outsiders of Matam . They can never
understand it till they know the philosophy of Azza-e-Hussain for
which a countless lives ( from the time of Karbala till to this date
) have been given. We
are weeping or morning on Karbala after the event has happen but our
holy Prophet (a.s) wept on karbala 57 years before its happening .
( References are available ) Here will you not follow the
Serah of your Holy Prophet ? Why
Islam feel necessity to keep alive the event of 4000 years old,
because there is a great sacrifice at the depth of this event, how
the Islam will like to ignore the karbala where not one but series
of sacrifices are given by the grandson ( as per Holy Quran the son
) of holy Prophet (s)
We being not the ummah of Hazrat Ibraheem but yet Islam put
the responsibility on us to keep alive the sacrifice of Ibraheem at
all cast , will the Islam or the prophet of Islam let us to forget
the much more higher sacrifices of his own holy Race just by
thinking that it is the old event of 1400 years so why to morn on it
! !
According
to holy Quran the holy Prophet asked for
the reward of his Prophet hood
( Please ref. to the article No.1 of alhujat ) as the verse
says “ I do not ask for any reward for my prophet hood except to
keep high degree of love and attachment with my Qurba ( closest blood relative ) .
Who is the more close blood relative of holy Prophet on the whole
earth than Hussain ?
Love of Hussain is the reward of prophet –hood. The love of
Hussain will take you automatically to Karbala.
Holy
Prophet said “ O’ my Allah, I love Hussain, You also love Hussain
and you love those who love Hussain “ ( Reference is available )
Hussain is not the character of past but the alive character of
Islam and the demanded reward of Holy Prophet. If you ignore Karbala
just by saying that it is the event of past and nothing to do with
us , you have ignored Hussain
, you have denied to the demand of Holy Prophet.
Taking
the Karbala as a daily routine event of the life as you mentioned
like killing, raping etc is the extreme disgrace to the highest sacrifice of
the human race. Holy
Prophet love Hussain , and demands the highest degree of love of
Hussain as a reward of his prophet hood and on the other hand the
action of Ummah has resulted Karbala , Is it the result of following
the Serah of holy Prophet and the present Ummah want to pull down
the Kabala to non remember able event of past ! Karbala
has not passed but continuously repeating itself. Ummah has also
divided in to two blacks one is responding to Karbala at the basis
of extreme love and attachment whereas other is doing his best to
wipe
Off
the Karbala from the
mind of the people but Matam (the forceful agitation) will not let
them to achieve their goal and the Ashura will repeat itself on
every 10th
of Moharram. Now
coming to your an other point that “ why to live like Ali and why
not like Holy Prophet ? “Before
I explain it, I ask you that whenever in Pakistan ( taking you a Pakistani )
people talk about Islamic laws they refer to the govt. of
Khulfa-e-Rashedeen and it is said that we want to establish laws and
the rules of Khulfa-e-Rashedeen in the country . Can you tell me
that why they talk about the establishment the govt. of
Khulfa-e-Rashedeen WHY not the govt. of Holy Prophet being the best
model ? No
doubt the Serah of Holy Prophet is the best model for the Muslims,
But, is Ali and Hussain are not the 100% practical model of the
Serah of Holy Prophet ? To follow the perfect model is not as to
follow the original ? According
to Holy Quran ( Verse of Mubahela ) Ali is a Nafs-e-Rasool and
the Nafs means the 100% true replica of the original and about
Hussain the Holy Prophet said
“ Hussain _ O _
Mini Wa Ana Minal
Hussain )
Holy
Prophet said “ The one who love Ali is a momen and the enemy of Ali
is Munafeq” Here
is my question that why the Holy Prophet did not say that one who
love me is the momen and my enemy is the Munafeq ( and there is no
doubt in it ) but yet the Holy Prophet made Ali a standard for the
distinction of momen and Munafeq. For
the Holy Prophet both momen and Munafeq claimed to be the friend and
lover though the Munafeq were liar, yet they were badly mixed with
Momeneen ( please ref. to article of alhujat , “ Qamar Dar Najoom” )
this was the reason that the Holy Prophet did not make himself to be
the standard of distinction for momen and Munafeq. Ali is the best
standard for the distinction because ( as per Holy Prophet ) the
Munafeq will never at any cast love Ali and can easily and sharply
detected and this standard is very much effective even today and
will remain till to the last day. All
those who were killing Al-e-Mohammad in Karbala were also claiming
to be the follower of Holy Prophet but Munafeq will never claim to
follow Ali but he will be always the red hot enemy of Ali therefore
if some one is following Ali is sure Momen and is surely following
the Serah of Holy Prophet and that is the aim .
One
day holy Prophet said to one of his Sahabi hazrat Ammar Yaser :, “
Look Ammar , if all of the people moving in one valley and alone Ali
is moving in other valley,
Ammar you must go to that valley in which Ali is moving
because Ali will never let you to be arrant.
Coming
to your last point about Kalma, kindly if you see the index of
alhujat you will find the article in the awaiting list : “ Kalmay mey Ali Yun
Waliullah Kyun “ when this article will publish you may get the answer to your
query. Some thing which you may be thinking as a change in Kalma or
any where else may be based on the misunderstanding or misguidance
.
