The Brute Yazid lowered the one standard of Truth which the Holy Imam held in Karbala but today God alone knows how many millions of such token standards of the Holy Imam are made and honoured in the world by his devotees. It should be remembered that the Alam is not at all an idol it, any sense of tire word. It is never held either in the place of God or in the place of even the Holy Imam.

It is only a copy of the Holy Standard of Truth carried by theHoly Imam when he fought against Falsehood The 'Alam' is held in high esteem and honour as stated above and it is never in any way worshipped. Worship in Islam is due only to God and not even to the Holy rophet who is next only to God in authority over his followers.

About the Holy Imam Husain, Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti one of the great mystics of India has said:- "Husain is King, the King of Kings, He is Faith, Defence of Faith from him springs. Beheaded though He never bowed to Yazeed By God, God's unity by him is established" In which grave is his thone, and his crown where is it. 'O' Earth! show us where is the might ,of Yazid today.

(Josh Malehahadi) Let Muslim remember the well-known declaration of the Holy Prophet : "And act is naught but with its intention" and "Verily the actions are judged only by the intentions." Take for instance, when a man dies, the nearest of his relatives particularly his own children, and even among his children, they who love him the most will naturally feel the separation from the departed soul, more than any body else.

One of the sons may be violentin thc expression of his grief, hurting himself in an uncontrollable state of behaviour, while the other son may be quietly shedding tcars, and others who may also be sorrowful remains suppressing their grief.

At the same time such of the relatives and selfish friends, who were only waiting for the death of the man, to have a share in the property left over by him, or to occupy the post or position which he may be vacating, will naturally feel happy though appear- ing quiet on the occasion. [he same is the case in regard to the degree of expression of the grief for the 'Ahlul-Bait' by the Shias, and the rejoicing made at their martyrdom by others.
