THE MORNING OF ASHOORA, THE DEFECTION OF HURR

previous episode

The most dramatic event soon after this was the defection of Hurr, the commander who had actua-lly led Husayn into Karbala, to Husayn's side. Hurr was followed by his son, his brother, and his slave servant.

Hurr obviously, came with a guilty feeling. Husayn accepted Hurr and his companions with open arms. Hurr then asked Husayn if he could turn to his own troops and fight them until his last breath. Husayn gave him the permission.

Hurr now confronted the troops he had been commanding a few moments ago. When Umar bin S'ad saw this dramatic change in Hurr's attitude he was filled with fear as well as anger. He sent one of his close company commanders known as Safwan bin Hanzala to go and talk to Hurr and persuade him to return to his previous post.

Safwan bin Hanzala came riding with a lot of pomp and pride. He addressed Hurr, saying: " O Hurr, you are one of the best soldiers and one of the ablest commanders on our side. What are you doing with Husayn? Your place his here, with us."

Hurr replied: " Safwan, you know that Yazeed is a debauch man, a drunkard and a libertine. And on this side is Husayn, the grandson of the Prophet of Islam. His mother was Fatima Zahra, who was married to Ali bin Abi Talib in Paradise. Husayn is the one whom Qur'an had addressed in the verse of CLEANSING (TAT-HEER). You know all this, and knowing this, you are hiding the truth."

Safwan once again said; "Yes, granted all those things, but you are a soldier and a commander. What good is cleanliness and glory of Paradise for soldiers like us? Our place is with Yazeed, who holds power, who has wealth and has everything that you need in this world."

Hurr said: "O you despicable man! You know the Truth and even then denies it!"

Ganjaran Orang Yang Memberikan Ilmu

Hadith :
Nabi s.a.w bersabda: "Apabila seseorang mukmin diuji oleh Allah dengan sesuatu bencana pada tubuhnya Allah Taala berfirman kepada Malaikat penulis amalnya: "Tulislah juga untuknya amal-amal salih yang biasa ia lakukan;" kemudian jika Tuhan hilangkan bencana yang menimpanya itu, Tuhan jadikan ia hidup berkeadaan baharu - bersih suci dari dosanya; dan jika Tuhan mengambil nyawanya, diberikannya keampunan serta dikurniakan rahmat kepadanya."

Anas r.a

Huraian
Pengajaran hadith:

• Setiap manusia hendaklah menerima segala ujian Allah dengan hati yang tabah sabar dan redha kerana sikap yang demikian akan membawa kebaikan pada dirinya di mana:
• a) Jika ia membiasakan dirinya dengan amalan yang baik semasa ia sihat atau senang kemudian tidak dapat melakukannya disebabkan kesakitan atau kemalangan yang menimpanya, maka Allah memerintahkan malaikat amal mencatat amalan yang baik yang tidak dapat dikerjakannya itu.
• b) Sekiranya Allah menyembuhkan sakitnya atau menghilangkan bencana yang menimpanya itu maka Allah jadikan ujian-Nya itu sebagai “kaffarah” yang menghapuskan dosa-dosanya yang telah lalu serta dijadikan hidupnya berkeadaan baru, suci dan bersih daripada dosa.
• c) Namun sekiranya Allah S.W.T sempurnakan ajalnya dengan kemalangan itu, maka ia akan dikurniakan keampunan dan dilimpahkan rahmat kepadanya.

THE MORNING OF ASHOORA, THE DEFECTION OF HURR

Husayn had shown that he did not want to fight. He wanted people to understand why he was doing what he was doing. He, in fact, had expressed the wish to leave the Arab lands and emigrate to India if he was allowed to do so.

NOTE: Two 20th century writers have questioned this entire line of reporting. Muqarram in his maqtal (Arabic text) and IKA Howard of Edinurgh in his English writings have argued that once Husayn had arrived at Karbala, he knew exactly what he was standing for. There was no weakness in his stance. This is mere propaganda by the Umayyad writers to show that Husayn was talking about this kind of compromise, because they wanted to show him weaker than
actually he was.

Husayn wanted to leave a perfect legacy of martyrdom and sacrifice for one's princip-les, for all mankind and for all generations to come. But when it came to dying for his prin-ciples, he was going to fight bravely and then die, while Yazeed and his military commanders were adamant that Husayn should accept Yazeed as the legitimate Khaleefa. Husayn had seen that if he did that, he would be undoing all the hard work done by his grandfather the Prophet, his father Ali Ibn Abi Talib, his mother Fatima and his brother Hasan.

Keadilan

Hadith :
Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda, maksudnya:“Sesungguhnya binasalah orang-orang yang sebelum kamu disebabkan orang-orang atasan apabila mencuri mereka membiarkannya , dan apabila orang lemah mencuri mereka menjatuhkan hukuman ke atasnya.”

Riwayat Al-Bukhari dan Muslim

Huraian
Pengajaran Hadith:

1. Keadilan hendaklah berlaku dalam semua lapisan masyarakat bermula dari dalam institusi keluarga, masyarakat dan pemerintahan negara.
2. Keadilan merupakan punca utama berkembangnya kehidupan yang harmoni, aman dan sejahtera sedangkan kezaliman akan mencetuskan kekacauan, kegelisahan dan huru-hara.
3. Keadilan hanya akan wujud sekiranya sesuatu itu dijalankan mengikut peraturan dan lunas-lunas Islam di mana Islam menolak perasaan pilih kasih dalam menjalankan hukuman, tetapi mementingkan ketegasan demi menegakkan kebenaran.

THE MORNING OF ASHOORA, THE DEFECTION OF HURR

previous episode

It was however clear that Umar and his troops were not going to change their stance.

After the prayers, Husayn's followers took it in turn to approach the troops and address them formally. This was important because every member in Husayn's party had one or more rela-tives, kinsmen or at least people from his tribe facing him from among the enemy camp. Then Husayn himself rode towards the enemy troops and addressed them explaining in detail who he was, his close relationship to the Prophet, his puritan way of life and that he was a peaceful citizen living quietly without cau-sing any distur-bance to anybody, and that they were going to commit a grave sin by harming the Prophet's family.

Watching the crowd listening to these discour-ses, Umar Ibn S'ad became concerned that some of these lectures could affect the morale of his troops. To pre-empt this effort to compro-mise and bring sense into people, Umar stood up and said loudly: `Every one in my troops witness to the fact that the first arrow of this battle is being cast by none other than the commander-in-chief, that is myself.' Saying this he put an arrow to his bow and shot it towards Husayn.

This was symbolically the official beginning of the battle. Following the arrow cast by the commander-in-chief, thousands of arrows were shot by other archers in this first round. But no one was hurt in Husayn's camp at this stage because of the intervening distance.

Kualiti Iman Seorang Muslim

Hadith :
Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda yang maksudnya:“Tanda cintakan Allah S.W.T. ialah mengingati Allah S.W.T (zikrullah) dan tanda Allah S.W.T murka kepada hamba ialah dia tidak suka mengingati Allah.”

Baihaqi

Huraian
Pengajaran Hadis:

• Ciri khas dalam akidah yang wajib ada dalam diri setiap individu adalah perasaan cintakan Allah kerana ia merupakan kayu ukur terpenting dalam menilai kualiti iman seorang muslimyang sebenar.
• Antara sifat mereka ialah sentiasa merasa bahagia apabilamengingati Allah iaitu mereka banyak berzikir, mengerjakansembahyang, membaca al-Quran dan sebagainya sebaliknya bagiorang yang tidak cintakan Allah, dia merasa bosan dan rimasapabila mendengar kalimah-kalimah Allah dan malas untuk berzikir (mengingati Allah) jauh sekali untuk beribadat kepadaAllah.
• Sesungguhnya orang yang selalu mengingati Allah (di kalasenang mahupun susah) akan mendapat pemeliharaan daripadaAllah S.W.T, kehidupannya sentiasa terkawal dan terpimpin,jalan hidupnya sentiasa sejahtera dan selamat. Sebaliknyamereka yang lalai daripada mengingati Allah, kehidupannyaakan didapati kosong, kecewa dan hampa.

THE MORNING OF ASHOORA, THE DEFECTION OF HURR

Husayn and his companions had spent the night in prayers. Early morning, they came out of their tents and assembled to offer the morning prayers behind Husayn. Husayn asked his son Ali (Akbar) to recite the AZAN (official call for prayers). The significance of this is that Husayn's son looked exactly like the Prophet Muhammad (pbh) in appearance and that the AZAN has a sentence in it meaning:

" I testify to Muhammad being a God-sent Prophet" which is said twice.

As if Husayn was giving a last chance to the people assembled to fight him to rethink their motives. For they all claimed to be Muslims and were following the orders of a man claiming to be the rightful Khaleefa of the Prophet of Islam, who openly flouted all Islamic cove-nants. And Husayn being the grandson of the Prophet and being the most righteous person of his time was being branded as a rebel. There were people in that crowd who had seen the Prophet and should therefore have been reminded of his looks by Ali standing up and reciting the AZAN.

Empat kunci kebahagiaan

Hadith :
Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda, maksudnya:”:Empat perkara yang membawa kebahagiaan iaitu wanita yang solehah, rumah yang luas, jiran yang baik dan kenderaan yang selesa!”

Riwayat Ibnu Hibban

Huraian
i)Kehidupan yang selesa adalah suatu bentuk kehidupan yang dialu-alukan oleh Islam di mana kehidupan yang sempurna memerlukan empat elemen asas yang penting iaitu:
a) Wanita yang solehah- iaitu isteri yang baik yang dapat menguruskan keluarga dan rumahtangga dengan sempurna.
b) Rumah yang luas yang boleh memberikan keselesaan untuk bermesra dengan keluarga dan anak-anak di samping dapat melapangkan fikiran dengan baik dan tenang.
c) Jiran yang baik kerana jiran merupakan orang yang paling rapat selepas sanak saudara dan keluarga. Jiran yang baik dapat menjamin keharmonian hidup bermasyarakat sehinggakan ikatan kejiranan itu boleh bertukar seakan-akan sebuah kelurga yang kasih-mengasihi dan saling mengambil berat di antara satu sama lain.
d) Kenderaan yang selesa kerana ia memberikan kemudahan dalam segala urusan.

ii) Antara tabiat buruk yang mengancam kebahagiaan hidup ialah berfoya-foya dengan kehidupan mewah, boros harta dan membazir ketika berbelanja. Tabiat ini sering disebut dalam al-Quran sebagai punca kehancuran beberapa umat yang terdahulu.

iii) Kemewahan hidup berbeza antara satu zaman dengan zaman yang lain, mungkin mewah pada suatu ketika dahulu, tidak dianggap mewah pada hari ini, kerana perbezaan masa, suasana dan pendapatan menjadikan ukuran kemewahan turut berbeza.

HUSAYN AT THE PLAIN OF KARBALA

previous episode

On the 16th of January 1991, US Air Force bombers attacked the country of Iraq, under the code-name Desert Storm, with United Nation's approval. The campaign lasted some six weeks during which several thousand bombing sorties were flown. In all these raids, under strict orders from the US high command, the bomber and fighter pilots carefully avoided damaging the shrines both at Karbala as well as Najaf. However, soon after a cease-fire was declared, an uprising against the oppressive rule of Saddam Hussein erupted in Iraq.

During the skirmishes great damage was done to the shrines at Karbala by the infamous Republican Guards of Saddam Hussein. Who could tell that in our life-times, the shrines would be destroyed, not by an external enemy but, by a local butcher. The pathos that is apparent from the ruins of the shrines cannot be expressed in words. The pictures speak for themselves. The story of the great sacrifice of Husayn and his Companions was revived once again in the memories of the faithful devotees by this latest destruction of the shrines at Karbala.

Before this latest destruction, Karbala was a thriving cosmopolitan town of about 150,000 inhabitants. People from Iran, Syria, India, Pakistan and East African countries had travelled to Karbala and settled down, over the centuries. They still speak their own languages and are actually identifiable with their original nationalities.

No one knows how long it will be before normal life will be resumed once again, in the city of Karbala. For, all utilities have been destroyed. There is no water supply nor is there any electricity. People are dying, mostly children, of hunger and disease.

In spite of all this, there is no doubt in this author's mind that the pilgrims would continue to flock to the shrines at Karbala. Because, it was not the splendor of the golden dome and the crystal chandeliers that attracted them to Karbala. The pilgrims came to pay homage to Husayn and his companions for the great sacrifice they made and the legacy of protest against oppression and tyranny they left for all mankind to follow, and they will continue to do so.

Tangan Di Atas Lebih Baik Daripada Tangan Di Bawah

Hadith :
Dari Hakim bin Hizam r.a katanya:”Tangan yang di atas (tangan yang memberi) lebih baik dari tangan yang di bawah (tangan yang menerima atau meminta). Maka kerana itu mulakanlah memberi kepada keluargamu. Sebaik-baik sedekah ialah ketika kaya. Sesiapa yang memohon dipelihara (agar ia tidak sampai meminta-minta) Allah akan memeliharanya dan sesiapa yang memohon dicukupkan (agar ia tidak bergantung selain kepada Allah) Allah akan mencukupkannya.”

(al-Bukhari)

Huraian
BERSEDEKAH dalam Islam bukan sekadar memberi wang ringgit kepada mereka yang memerlukan. Konsep bersedekah dalam Islam adalah luas, membabitkan perkara yang membawa kebaikan sama ada dalam bentuk kerohanian mahupun fizikal. Setiap orang yang berbuat kebajikan nescaya diberkati Allah dengan dikurniakan kesejahteraan hidup dan mendapat rahmat-Nya. Allah juga akan mengelakkan hartanya daripada kecurian atau hilang. Dalam surah al-Lail, Allah telah menyatakan tentang sifat kedekut dan ego di mana orang yang bersifat demikian kehidupannya akan dipenuhi dengan liku yang sukar dan bermasalah. Bahkan Seseorang yang tidak suka bersedekah adalah umpama seseorang yang mempunyai benih tanaman, tetapi tidak pula ia menanamnya. Orang yang tidak suka bersedekah ini tidak akan dapat memungut atau menuai hasil rezekinya itu.

Bedo'oh lalu is "too much" or "over the limit". Bedo'oh comes from the Arabic bida'ah which actually means "new" or "innovation" . Theologically, it means "not in the original teachings" and therefore not acceptable.
