🏴 The innocence of the greatest human being Imam Hussain (pbuh) is the greatest fighter in the history of Islam for he stood in such a field, was not afraid, and fought in the way of God. But this great man was oppressed to the same degree as his greatness. ❝Imam Khamenei @monjimovement

🏴 Imam Hussain (pbuh) was completely submissive to God When hundreds of people sent letters to him stating that they were his honest followers and his Shi’a waiting for him in Kufa and Iraq, Imam Hussain (pbuh) did not become arrogant with pride. He did not say we will do such and such. He did not threaten his enemies or entice his friends by offering them official positions. On the day when less than 100 of his followers remained with him when he was surrounded by 30,000 ruffians, who threatened the lives of his dear ones and him, and who also threatened to capture the women who were under his protection, this man of God and dear personage in Islam did not feel a tinge of anxiety. @monjimovement

🏴 The achievement of Imam Hussain’s uprising: Reviving the spirit of fighting oppression The movement led by Imam Hussain (pbuh) awakened the people and turned the prevalent spirit of irresponsibility into a spirit of responsibility and fighting oppression. In other words, Imam Hussain (pbuh) aroused the people’s consciences. As a result, you see that after the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, Islamic movements emerged one after another. Although they were suppressed, a movement being suppressed by the enemy is not what is most important. Of course, this is painful. What is more painful is when a society reaches a point that it is passive in the face of oppression. This is a great danger. @monjimovement

🏴 Commemorating the blood of martyrs of Karbala Sometimes the sufferings and efforts made to commemorate the blood of a martyr are no less than martyrdom itself. Such are the thirty years of suffering of Imam Sajjad (pbuh) and the years of suffering of Zainab Al-Kubra (pbuh). They suffered to be able to keep alive the memory of this blood. ❝Imam Khamenei @monjimovement

🏴 If Imam Hussain (pbuh) had not risen up,… It has been reported that when Imam Sajjad (pbuh) returned to Medina after the events of Ashura, someone went to him and said, “O son of the Prophet! Did you see what happened because of your going?!” Imam Sajjad (pbuh) replied, “Think about what would have happened if we had not gone.” Yes, if they had not gone, the bodies would have survived but the truth would have been destroyed, the human spirit would have been lost, people’s consciences would have been trampled underfoot, logic and wisdom would have been blamed throughout history, and not even the name of Islam would have remained. ❝Imam Khamenei @monjimovement

🏴 The reason for the Karbala martyrs’ greatness This is the reason for the greatness of the Karbala martyrs! They did not fear the greatness of the enemy because of a sense of duty, which was jihad in the path of God and religion. They were not terrified by their being alone. They did not seize on the excuse of being few in numbers to escape from the enemy. This is what brings greatness to a person, a leader, and a nation—not fearing the phony greatness of the enemy. ❝Imam Khamenei @monjimovement
