\n He -asws said...

\n He -asws said: \u2018Yes, you are one of those who take me -asws lightly\u2019. He said, \u2018Allah -azwj Forbid that I should take you -asws lightly\u2019. He -asws said to him: \u2018Woe be unto you, or did you not hear so and so, and we were near Al-Juhfa , and he was saying to you, \u2018Give me a ride for about a mile, for By Allah -azwj , I have become (very) tired\u2019?

By Allah -azwj , you did not even raise your head and took him lightly by it, and the one who takes one who Believes in us -asws lightly, has taken lightly and wasted the Sanctity of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic\u2019. [12] \n Why are we walking from Najaf to Karbala? \n On the day of Ashura, when our Imam Hussain -asws was left alone, after the martyrdom of relatives and friends, Imam -asws looked at the sky and invited all living creatures and souls to come forward and pledged their support.

Imam -asws invited them by saying: \u201cHal Min Nasirin Yansurna\u201d (“Is there anyone to extend support”). \u00a0The \u2018Nidah\u2019 (Call of the Imam -asws ) was heard by all living beings as well as the souls of the Momineen – residing in \u2018Alam-e-Arwah\u2019 (worlds of the Souls). \n So, the Momineen replied with \u2018Labaik Ya Hussain -asws \u2019 (At your -asws service Imam Husayn -asws ) which was later embedded in the Momineen\u2019s nature.

Today, we answer to this very call by reciting \u2018Labaik Ya Hussain -asws \u2019! Imam -asws replies to our calls but our impurities, tarnished with the love of the world, hinder our hearing to greet the reply of our Imam -asws .\u00a0 However, our souls are softly touched upon and our hearts cry out and tears start trickling through our eyes upon perceiving the warm welcome. \n A Momin, when unable to listen to the replies of the Masomeen -asws would say, what can I do for my Moula -asws ?

Except for mourning and trying to observe, in my very little way, the suffering you -asws and your -asws family -asws had experienced by those who usurped your -asws properties, plundered your -asws rights and violated your -asws sanctity. \n Masomeen -asws and the Imam -ajfj of our time deeply respect our sentiments and love towards Imam Hussain -asws with our trembling and tired bodies slowly progressing towards Karbala!

\u00a0Sadly, one has to realise, our slogans naive due to our infirm commitment. \u00a0Why?
