Shaam-e-Ghareeban, the Imam was being introduced as tents burnt

previous episode

The high point of this verse is the concept of cleansing (TATHEER), the object of chadar is not mentioned in it. That is because, the chadar is a material object while cleansing is an abstract concept, it is spiritual in its form as the honour bestowed upon the ladies by Allah, if they followed His commands. The object of chadar is mentioned in the ahdeeth when explaining this verse. It was the chadar belonging to Fatima Zahra that the Prophet had used to express this concept of special honour for the Ahlul-Bayt. This Hadeeth is known as HADEETH-E-KISA, and it is reported by such respected authors as Muslim and Tirmizi.
While a physical object can be taken away by a tyrant, the HONOUR BESTOWED BY ALLAH cannot be taken away. The tyrant thought that by taking away the chadar he would be able to dis-honour the ladies, very much like he thought that by killing Husayn he would take away the Divinely Bestowed Imamat away from him and his family.

At this point, we would quote two lines of poetry:

Tha-hro sar-e-Zaynab se rida cheen-ne walo,
Lipti hui tatheer ki ayat hai kisa main,

Translation: Stop, O you who take the chadar away from Zaynab's head,
There is the verse of TAKHEER wrapped in this chadar(kisa).

Shaam-e-Ghareeban (the evening for the lost and looted) was falling upon the plain of Karbala. Ladies had already been deprived of their chadars. The tents were now burning. Ladies had two choices - either to run out of the tents without their chadars, or to stay inside and get burnt to death with their children. Zaynab, who had now taken charge of the looted caravan of Huasayn, approached the ailing Zayn-al-Abideen. She asked him:

"Nephew, you are now our Imam, what is your command, shall we get burnt to death or go out without chadars and save our lives?"

Zayn-al-Abidee replied: "Saving your life is wajib, Phuphee, leave the tents."

The ladies and the children had to come out in the open. Zaynab helped Zayn-al-Abideen to get out of the burning tents.

That one action of Zaynab where she had asked Zayna-al-Adideen for the ruling on hijab has told the world for all time to come - even in that hour of misery, plight and confusion, Zaynab was intent on introducing the Imam of the Time. Zaynab did not need to ask anything. She had grown up with Islam. There was nothing hidden from her as far as the law was concerned. Zaynab, by asking that question of Imam Zayn-al-Abideen, was educating the world.

LET THE TYRANT EAT HIS HEART OUT - HE COULD NOT, AFTER ALL, TAKE AWAY THE HONOUR OF THE GOD-BESTOWED IMAMAT AWAY FROM THOSE GLORIOUS PEIOPLE.

We shall see how the same Zaynab, the daughter of Ali and Fatima, will re-introduce the God bestowed honour of the CHADAR in the court of Yazeed - the tyrant himself.

Diam Tanda Setuju

Hadith :
Dari Ab Hurairah r.a Rasulullah SAW bersabda:”Seorang wanita janda, tidak boleh dikahwinkan tanpa bermesyuarat terlebih dahulu dengannya. Seorang gadis perawan tidak boleh dikahwinkan sebelum meminta izin kepadanya.” Para sahabat bertanya:”Bagaimana bentuk keizinan gadis itu?” Rasulullah menjawab:”Jika dia diam sahaja.”

(Bukhari)

Huraian
Tabi’inya seorang perempuan sangat memerlukan seorang lelaki yang boleh melindunginya dan menjaga kemaslahatannya. Oleh itu seorang gadis adalah orang yang lebih berhak dalam persoalan perkahwinannya dan seorang ayah atau wali kepada gadis tersebut tidak boleh meremehkan pendapatnya serta mengabaikan persetujuannya kerana bagaimana mungkin seorang lelaki itu disifatkan dapat melindungi isterinya jika dirinya sendiri tidak disukai oleh isterinya. Begitu juga seorang ayah tidak boleh memperlambat-lambatkan perkahwinan anak gadisnya jika sudah ternyata ia telah dipinang oleh seorang lelaki yang baik, beriman dan berakhlak mulia. Maka, setelah membuat perbincangan, wali si gadis hendaklah menentukan sama ada mahu menerima sesuatu pinangan atau tidak dan sekiranya gadis tersebut tidak tahu membuat keputusan, eloklah menyerahkan perkara itu kepada walinya kerana pilihan walinya tentu tepat kerana seseorang bapa tidak akan sanggup menzalimi anaknya sendiri di mana wali yang baik akan memilih lelaki yang baik juga untuk anaknya.

Shaam-e-Ghareeban, the Imam was being introduced as tents burnt

previous episode

The story of the first fifty years after the Prophet of Islam is witness to the fact that Divine Leadership appointed by Allah was being challenged. Every Imam that came was either forced politically, militarily or economically away from that position. Then came Husayn, who exposed the entire conspiracy, and proved to the world as to who was Zalim and who was Mazloom.

Both Yazeed and Husayn were Quraysh who were among the progeny of Ibraheem through Isma'eel. But, one was Zalim and the other was Mazloom. During Mu'awiyyah's times the world was full of the propafanda that the real heirs of the Prophet were the Banu Umayya, everybody who opposed them, incluidng the family of the Prophet, were rebels.
However, Yazeed had, by becoming a Zalim, identified himself as totally un-deserving of the Divine promise.

The Zalim was so drunk in his stupor of WINNING that he wanted to complete his victory by taking away the honour that was given to women of the Prophet's family by taking depriving them of the cahadrs. But, that was the great folly of the Zalim.
The chadar was identified in the holy Qur'an in verse 33:33, as follows:

[Shakir 33:33] And stay in your houses and do not display your finery like the displaying of the ignorance of yore; and keep up prayer, and pay the poor-rate, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you, O people of the House! and to purify you a (thorough) purifying.

Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak today denied allegations that he had links with murdered Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu as claimed by a private detective.

Reading out from a prepared statement at a packed press conference in Parliament this evening, the embattled deputy premier reiterated that he had never met or knew Altantuya.

He dismissed the statutory declaration filed by private eye P Balasubramaniam, who was hired by Najib's close associate Abdul Razak Baginda to deal with the Altantuya problem, as "concocted" claims.

Shaam-e-Ghareeban, the Imam was being introduced as tents burnt

previous episode

When we look at the way the army of Umar Sa'd was managed, we have to conclude that everything was well-planned. No soldier would move without orders from the superiors. Taking away of women's chadars was a part of the plan at Karbala.

The murder of Husayn and his companions was done for one reason and one reason alone - Husayn had to accept Yazeed as the legitimate Khaleefa of the Muslim Kingdom. When Husayn refused to do that, he was first, driven out of his home, he was then surrounded and brutally butchered.

That should have been sufficient action in case of a worldly contest between two parties for power and throne. The very fact that Yazeed's armies were ordered to take away women's chadars away from them, tells us that the roots of this conflict went farther and deeper.

Allah had appointed man His Khaleefa on earth, as the verses of Sura Baqara tell us. The second stage of that Divine Leadership (Imamat) is completed when Allah promises Ibraheem for Imamat. Ibraheem asks Allah about his progeny. Allah replies that His covenant does not cover the Zalimeen.
