Description:The topic
under discussion in this book is “Philosophy of Qayam-e -Hussain (a.s)” (Philosophy of Uprising of Hussain (a.s)). This
topic is highly significant in this era when a similar Yazidi
governance system as that in the era of Hussain (a.s)
prevails in different parts of the world today and specifically
in the Islamic world. Today attempts are being made to
distort the purpose and objectives of the uprising of Imam
Hussain (a.s). The uprising of Hussain (a.s) is a school of
thoughts and movements which inspires all the righteous and
truth loving people to stand for justice and not bear
oppression and tyranny. There are some ignorant preachers
and also some agents of enemies planted inside the Muslim
Ummah (nation) who repeatedly justify the personality of
Yazid ibn Muawiya and try to transform the cause of this
divine uprising into a family and self interest-oriented
political battle between two parties. This book serves as an
answer to such doubts created in the minds of the people
and after understanding to some extent the purpose of the
uprising of Hussain (a.s), the readers can themselves assess
and think about what motives such persons and groups have
who distort the sacredness of this uprising and justify the
tyrants like Yazid as someone whom Allah would get pleased
with.
This book is based on a four lecture seminar delivered shortly
after the brutal assassination of Martyr Muzaffar Kirmani
(r.a). Marty Muzaffar was amongst those few who
understood the philosophy of the Hussain (a.s) movements and
was inspired by it. His journey on the path of Imam Hussain
(a.s) became the cause for the bullets to pierce his chest. In this book the author, once again Ustad Sayed Jawad
Naqvi approaches this sensitive topic in a logical and
scholarly way. He presents twenty different opinions
regarding the purpose of the uprising of Imam Hussain (a.s)
and then addresses the actual purpose of this uprising
through the words of the pioneer of the uprising himself, which is
Imam Hussain (a.s).
