Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Kashaful Aza Last Sajda Our scholars and zakireen explain the last sajda of Imam Hussain (as) to make people cry. They do not understand its truth. If you ponder upon this last sajda of Imam Hussain (as), then you will realize the whole of Karbala was gathered in this brief sajda of Imam Hussain (as). Just ponder upon this point. Why did Imam Hussain (as) do this sajda? Why was it necessary? This wasn?t a sajda of prayer nor was it a sajda of shukr.

Then what was it? History tells us when my Mazloom Imam (as) fell down from Zuljenah, His sacred body was not on the ground. It was stuck upon the arrows. Just imagine when my Moula (as) had done sajda, all the arrows would have gone through His whole body. May our lives and the lives of our children be sacrificed on our Master (as). That was such a scene which caused the heavens and earth to shake. All of the prophets and angels were shocked. Their hearts were trembling with great amazement.

What was that last sajda? The reason is Imam Hussain (as) completely showed His wilayat. I swear by Allah if Imam Hussain (as) had not done this sajda, then today there would be a statue of Imam Hussain (as) in every home and every person would be worshipping Imam Hussain (as). This was the last sajda of Imam Hussain (as) who is the savior of tawheed. This is the reason one of the names of my Moula (as) is "Daleel ala al Tawheed" (Proof of Oneness).

This was the reason Imam (as) stood against yazid (la). Imam Hussain (as) sacrificed everything for Allah. Imam (as) kept nothing for Himself. If the gaining of government was His purpose, then Imam (as) would have taken an army and weapons with Him not females and children. His only purpose was to save the tawheed of Allah and wilayat of His Father (as). He achieved His goal. Rules of Aza (mourning) The remembrance of Imam Hussain (as) is the greatest act of worship one can do.

When we remember Imam Hussain (as), we also are remembering Allah, RasoolAllah (saw), Ameerul Momineen (as), and all other Aimmah (as). All other remembrances are alive because of the remembrance of Imam Hussain (as). All of our acts of worship revolve around the remembrance of Imam Hussain (as). Those people are very unlucky who have abandoned this great act of worship in order to show off their prayers to people. Prayer is nothing without Imam Hussain (as).
