Audio Lectures Abbas (a), Sublimination of the Self for the Sake of Perfection by Dr. Murtadha Alidina, Stanmore, London, UK Views: 27294
Night of 8th Muharram, 1424 AH, 2003
Imam Husayn (a) went to Karbala because of:
-resignation to will of Allah
-resistance to corrupt government
-reformation in corrupt society
-revolution
-he was part of the cosmic struggle between falsehood and truth, that is in operation even today
Everyone desires perfection -- some seek it in power, others in prestige, beauty, or wealth -- but the best perfection is in getting closer to the All Perfect Being.Everyone is given a chance to attain perfection, but refusal of that chance will come to chastise us now, later in this life and finally in the hereafter.
Abbas (a) represents sublimation, sacrifice, and subjugation of the self against individualism - he preferred Allah and his brother the Imam over himself.
Examples given from a book (published in the year 2000) by David Mires, a social psychologist, where he talks about individualism. Its tenets include:
-love yourself before you love others
-what's ethical is what's ethical to me
-what's moral is what's moral to me
-the individual above society
-avoid conformity
-"i don't recognize the right of any other over me for even one minute of my life. i exist for my life not for the life of others."
Discussion about individualism manifesting itself as self-esteem -- the way to improve yourself is for you to do your own thing and for me to do my own thing. Psychotherapists as prophets of our age. Collectivistic vs. individualistic societies.
Spending possessions in the way of Allah is an act against individualism -- many verses of the Qur'an are given as examples, including the story of the sacrifice of the Ahl al-Bayt (a) from Surat al-Dahr.
An extremely moving rendition of the story of the martyrdom of Hadhrat Abbas (a).Source: www.hujjat.org
