In one day...

In one day, he sacrificed his brothers, nephews and children on the land of Karbala’. He remained patient after seeing so many dead in one day. Did Husayn complain? No, never! On the contrary, after sacrificing his 18 year old son ‘Ali Akbar he looked up at the sky and said: “Ya Allah, give me more patience. Ya Allah, is there anything else I can give for Your sake?” Allah's will was Husayn's command. Husayn was prepared and willing to sacrifice his family.

He never prayed to Allah to save his family. Instead he prayed for Patience! Patience! And more Patience! Allah! What a big Heart Husayn had in Karbala’! ‘Aun - Muhammad had been killed. Qasim was trodden to pieces. ‘Abbas was lying on the bank of River Furaat. ‘Ali Akbar's chest was torn open with a spear. Is there anymore to sacrifice? Tonight is the night of ‘Ali Asghar. The little Mujaheed - the little soldier and the youngest Shaheed. ‘Ashura’ came to the land of Karbala’.

One-by-one, Husayn's friends and companions were martyred. ‘Aun - Muhammad, Qasim, ‘Abbas and ‘Ali Akbar went to the battlefield and were martyred. By Asr time Husayn was left alone. The time had come for Husayn to go to the battlefield. Husayn said Fi aman Allah to everyone. Husayn, with his sword Zulfikar on his waist, mounted Zuljiana, his horse. Husayn rode his horse to a small mount, he then called out loudly: “Is there anyone to help me?

Is there anyone to help the grandson of the Holy Prophet?” With this call, the grandson of the Holy Prophet, was giving one last chance to Yazid's men, the men who called themselves Muslims - the followers of the Holy Prophet. Hypocrites! That's what Yazid's men were. No one answered Husayn's last call. But Husayn heard the sound of crying coming from his camp. Husayn turned around and returned to his tents. “Zainab, your brother is still alive.

Why are you crying?” “My brother Husayn, when you called out, “ Is there anyone to help me? ”, ‘Ali Asghar fell from his cradle.” Husayn knew what ‘Ali Asghar was trying to say. Husayn went to Umm Rubab. ‘Ali Asghar was on her lap. He was crying and Umm Rubab was trying to comfort him. Husayn picked up baby ‘Ali Asghar and whispered in his ear. ‘Ali Asghar stopped crying. He looked up at his father and smiled.

“Umm Rubab, I am taking ‘Ali Asghar to the battlefield with me so that I can get some water for him.” What did Husayn whisper in ‘Ali Asghar's ear? What made ‘Ali Asghar stop crying, and to smile?
