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).
The worldly things which ye are given are but the conveniences of this life and the glitter thereof; but that which is with Allah is better and more enduring: will ye not then be wise? (28:60)
Wisdom from Prophets
To meet friends cheerfully and invite them to a feast are charitable acts –Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
Wisdom from Imams
A conceited and self-admiring person is disliked by others; charity and alms are the best remedy for ailments and calamities; one has to account in the next world for the deeds that he has done in this world. Imam Ali (A.S.)
