Video The Imamat of Ibrahim (a) / Free Will in Karbala by Shaykh Amir Mukhtar Faizi, Shi'a Assocation of Bay Area
Islamic Guidance Center
San Jose, CA, Muharram 1422 / April 2001
Views: 3976
9th Night of Muharram
First part of this outstanding lecture is in English, second is in Urdu. Imamate is achieved by offering sacrifices in the way of Allah (swt). Nabi Ibrahim (a) had to sacrifice his son Ismail (a). How can a parent's sacrifice of his child be considered other than cruelty? Interpretation of relevant verse in Surat Saaffaat where Ibrahim (a) explains his dream to his son and leaves it up to his son to give his opinion (fandhur maadhaa taraa). This is a beautiful sacrifice which is the acceptance of the son and his willingness to submit to his Lord and to be among those who are patient (saabireen). This is free will and a partnership of father and son. Similarly, in Karbala, Imam (a) did not force anyone to fight in the battle. They did so out of love. Parallel between sacrifice of Imam (a) and sacrifice of Ibrahim (a). Imam (a) tried to find an excuse for all those who lined up for shahadat except his own son Ali Akbar (a). Ibrahim (a) was not raised to the level of Imam (a) because he sacrificed Ismail (a), but rather because he was able to raise a son that was willing to be sacrificed.

Audio Lectures The mission of Imam Husayn (a): Resignation vs. Revolution by Dr. Murtadha Alidina, Stanmore, London, UK Views: 4712
Night of 6th Muharram, 1424 AH, 2003
Resignation to the will of Allah vs desire for revolution and reform. When we submit to the will of Allah, we should submit fully. Examples from Karbala of Abdullah ibn Hurr who submitted his horse and sword but did not submit himself. Another man submitted himself on the condition that if victory seemed doubtful, he would escape, and on the day of Karbala he did manage to escape by means of a horse he had hidden away. The story of `Awn and Muhammad, the grandsons of Ja`afar ibn Abi Talib al-Tayyar, who submitted fully to the will of Allah and were among the young martyrs of Karbala.Source: www.hujjat.org

Full-Length Text The Sacred Effusion: Reflections on Ziyarat Ashura by Sh Muhammad Khalfan Views: 5809
A unique and original piece of research on the sacred supplication of Ziyarat Ashura of Imam Husayn (as). The reader will come to appreciate the core reality of the ziyarah being: "to deflect from other than the visited one". The reflections in this publication centre around this theme: if we truly intend Imam al-Husayn (as) then we must realize that he is the very epitome of Islam. The more we revive Islamic values individually and socially, the closer we come to Imam al-Husayn (as) and therefore our ziyarat gains true meaning.

- Reports from those who fought against Imam (a) and his companions in Karbala show that despite their small number, fatigue, and thirst, the army of Imam Husayn (a) fought extremely valiantly. What triggered this divinely inspired power?
- Imam Husayn (a) had requested that they be given Thursday night (`Ashura was on Friday) to read Qur'an, perform salaat, and to do istighfaar. An analysis of these actions and how they bring one closer to Allah.
