Continued from the last post regarding the Four Sermons delivered by Shaheed Ayatollah Mutahari on Ashura..

From Sermon 1:
"Now my point is that we have introduced thousands of distortions in retelling the narrative of Ashura, both in its outward form, that is, in respect of the very episodes and issues relating to the major events and the minor details, as well as in respect of their interpretation and meaning. Most regrettably, this event has been distorted both in its form and content. At times a distorted version has at least some resemblance to the original. But there are times when distortion is so thorough that the corrupted version has not the least resemblance to the original: the matter is not only distorted, but it is inverted and turned into its antithesis. Again I must say with utmost regret that the misrepresentations that have been carried out by us have all been in the direction of degrading and distorting the event and making it ineffective and inert in our lives" . (To be continued)

From Sermon 2:
"The Umayyad regime did wage much propaganda of this kind, but their misrepresentations did not affect the history of Islam. You will not find a single competent historian in the world who might have said that Husayn ibn 'Ali, 'naudhubillah', made an unlawful uprising that he rose to cause conflict and disunity among the people. No. The enemy could not bring about any misrepresentation in [the history of] the event of Karbala'. Most regrettably, whatever tahrif has occurred in the event of Karbala' has been at the hands of the friends.". (To be continued).

🌹Imām Al-Bāqir (peace be with him) said:

📜Faith is declaration and act. Islam is declaration without act. Faith is the concern of the heart. Islam is the laws of marriage, legacy, and stopping bloodshed. Faith is a part of Islam while Islam is not necessarily a part of faith.

✅ Shahid Mutahhari's response to the oft heard criticism that fasting reduces the energy and efficiency of human productivity:

🔹Was man made only to work? Is he simply a machine whose productivity should be maximized? Is he just a workhorse?
Doesn't he have a heart? Doesn't he have a spirit? Doesn't he need piety? Does he only need one thing, that is to work? Does he no longer need his humanity? Does he not need to temper the wild side of his nature? Does he not need to keep his carnal desires in check? Doesn't he need to strengthen his rational and human will? Do we have to look at everything from the perspective of work and efficiency?!

The Islamic Association "Imam Mahdi" in Rome Italy organized an art exhibition entitled "The Ark of Salvation" dedicated to the Passion of Ashura in Islam and Christianity with the internationally renowned Iranian artist Hassan Ruholamin. After having held exhibitions in Paris and Berlin, he presented five of his new unpublished works for the Italian public. The first objective of the event was the reach of Ashura's message to Italians through artistic expressions closer to their culture and mindset. A great result was obtained through the presence of many Italians, several of whom non-Muslims, who participated in the event.

Man’s treasure is his connections and relations. If he is connected to the materialistic world then he, too, is worldly and temporary. And if he is connected to spirituality then he’s enlightened and eternal.


تمام سرمایه انسان، تعلقاتش و روابطش است‌، اگر او متعلق به دنياي مادي باشد دنيايي و موقت است و اگر تعلقاتش معنويت باشد نوراني و ابدي خواهد بود.


انسان کا سارا سرمایہ اُس کا تعلق اور رابطہ ہے، اگر دنیا سے تعلق ہو تو انسان دنیایی اور موقت ہوگا اور اگر معنوات سے تعلق ہو تو انسان نورانی اور ابدی ہو جائے گا۔

📜Guidance of Imām Sadiq (peace be with him) to his companion Abdullah son of Jundab
❇️Part 12/25

💠O son of Jundab! The one who runs toward fulfilling the needs of his brother is similar to the one who walks between Safa and Marwa. And the one who actualizes the needs of his brother is as though he sacrificed with his blood in the battles of Badr and Uhud. And God did not chastise a nation except that they ridiculed the rights of their poor brothers (in society).


💠یَا ابْنَ جُنْدَبٍ، الْمَاشِي فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِیه كَالسَّاعِي بَیْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، وَقَاضِي حَاجَتِه كَالْمُتَشَحَّط بِدَمِه فِي سَبِیلِ اللهِ َّ یَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَأُحُدٍ، وَمَا عَذ َّبَ الله َُّ أُم َّةً إِلا َّ عِنْدَ اسْتِھَانَتِھِمْ بِحُقُوقِ فُقَرَاءِ إِخْوَانِھِمْ


💠پسر جندب! آنکه براى انجام حاجت برادرش راھى رود، چنان است که بین(کوه) صفا و مروه سعى کرده و اگر حاجتش را برآورد چنان است که در جنگ بدر و احد در خون غلتیده، خدا ھیچ امتى را ھلاک نکرد جز وقتی که به حقوق برادران مستمند خود بی اعتنائى کردند.


💠اے فرزند جُندب: جو اپنے (دینی اور مومن) بھائی کی مدد کرنے کو نکلے تو ایسے ہے جیسے صفا اور مروہ کے درمیان سعی (حج) کر رہا ہو۔ اور جو حاجت کو پوری کر دے تو ایسے ہے جیسے جنگ بدر و اُحُد میں خدا کی راہ میں شہادت پائی ہو۔ پروردگار نے کسی قوم پر عذاب نازل نہیں کیا مگر یہ کہ ان لوگوں نے اپنے غریب بھائیوں کی مدد اور حمایت میں لاپرواہی کی ہو۔

💠It is He who accepts the repentance of His servants, and excuses their misdeeds and knows what you do.💠He answers [the supplications of] those who have faith and do righteous deeds and enhances them out of His grace. But as for the faithless, there is a severe punishment for them.

Ayatollah Motahari stated:

“The eighth Imām told one of his followers: ‘Enliven our mission. Enliven the mission of our guardianship.’ He asked the Imām how we could enliven?

The Imām commanded him: ‘Understand (first) and (then) spread by your actions and words the reality of our statements, the beauty of our speech, and the way of our lifestyle. This is enlivening our mission.’”
📚”Dah Goftar”, p. 144


شہید آیت اللہ مطہری:
امام ہشتم علی ابن موسی الرضا علیہم السلام نے اپنے ایک صحابی سے فرمایا:
ہمارے امر کو زندہ کرو۔ ہماری ولایت کے امر اور مقصد کو زندہ کرو۔ صحابی نے امام سے پوچھا کہ ہم آپکے امر کو کیسے زندہ کریں؟

امام نے فرمایا: ہمارے اقوال اور فرامین کے حقائق، ان کی خوبصورتی، اور ہمارے طرز زندگی کو سمجھو اور اس کو دوسروں تک پہنچائو۔ یہ ہمارے امر اور کام کو زندہ کرنا ہے۔
