Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Kashaful Aza Preaching of Aza The third aspect of azadari is its preaching. All the azadars (mourners) of Imam Hussain (as) came out of their houses and imambargahs and marched into the streets, roads, and bazaars. They do matam, zanjeer, and qama zani while being barefoot and having bare dust covered heads. They march from one street to another. The chant of "Ya Hussain (as)" can be heard on every street.

It seems as if every single living being on this earth is chanting "Ya Hussain (as)". This is the way to express one?s grief and protest. Every one who sees this scene is forced to think; there must be a very important reason to make these people act this way. Who on this earth likes to give himself pain or put himself intentionally into the difficulties of this world? They ask each other "What has happened?" They were told the day of judgment before the day of judgment has occurred.

That Nabi (saw) which they follow, His Son (as) and His Son?s whole family (as) were brutally martyred in Karbala. His Daughters (sa) were taken bareheaded into the bazaars and courts. All of this was done by the so called followers of this Prophet (saw). Anyone, who has even a little iman (faith), will be unable to bear hearing this. He will then join the mourners by doing tabarra (disassociating himself from the enemies of Ahlul Bayt as) on the enemies of His Prophet (saw).

Believe me when I say the mulvi (scholars) did not convert the people to Shia. Even if they did cause someone to become Shia, it is like they have taken him out of kufr (disbelief) and entered him in the deviation. This is a great miracle of azadari of Imam Hussain (as). The one who becomes Shia because of azadari gives his whole life to Imam Hussain (as). The azadari of Imam Hussain (as) is the great source which caused a revolution to spread throughout the whole world.

The enemies of Imam Hussain (as) became so afraid that they made plans to end the whole of azadari of Imam Hussain (as) but especially the juloos e aza (procession of mourners). In order to fulfill their shaitani purpose, they started attacking the procession of Ashura every year. History is a witness that as the violence increased, the attendance of these processions also increased. The glory of the processions reached its highest peak.

The enemies of Imam Hussain (as) immediately realized it is impossible to harm these processions from the outside.
