As an annual routine on Chamber of Beauty, here I am again, to share with you all the facts about the mournful month of Muharram. In fact this year I felt a desparate need to share this keeping in mind all the barbaric, dreadful killing that is haunting the lives of so many citizens of various nations. These acts are inhuman, a big stain on the image of the peaceful religion of Islam. I'm sure most of you must have understood what I'm referring to.
Imam Hussain bin Ali, the martyr of Karbala, forever demarcated the truth from falsehood. Before heading to Karbala for a decisive battle against Omayyid tyrant Yazid bin Muawiya, Imam Hussain said, “Surely the aim of my stand is not inspired by vain exultation and it is also not for the quest of kingdom, neither is it to cause dissension and corruption nor is it to wrong anybody unjustly.” These words of Imam are enough in themselves to prove that his stand was neither for the lust of power nor for any personal gain. It was to safeguard the religion of his grandfather from the clutches of Yazid, who was hell-bent on distorting the real picture of the religion.
