Imam Hussain (A) stands as an eternal icon for those pursuing a moral, social, spiritual and political code to live by no matter how great or desperate the challenges may be. As a Master of Martyrs and Leader of Freedom Seekers, he proved that achievement is not found in a band of warriors or sophisticated artillery, instead lives of a few ones can be a catalyst for success.
The city of Medina witnessed the birth of a blessed boy in the house of Lady Fatimah (A) and Imam Ali (A) on the third of Sha'ban in the year 4 after Hijra.
Imam Husain, the third Imam was born on 3r'd of Shaban, 4 A.H. in Medina. On his birth, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S) prophesied that the faith of Islam would be rescued by his second grandson Husain (A).
And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect (30:21)
Wisdom from Prophets
To meet friends cheerfully and invite them to a feast are charitable acts –Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
Wisdom from Imams
Generosity is to help a deserving person without his request, and if you help him after his request, then it is either out of self-respect or to avoid rebuke. -Imam Ali (a.s.)
