Imam Husayn's Sacrifice

When we look at Imam Husayn and the tragedy of Karbala, we see that he sacrificed everything. His women were taken prisoner. His sons were killed. He was killed. His brother was killed.

His six months old infant was killed all to protect the message of Islam from being corrupted by the rulers of the time. When we look at it, he sacrificed everything so we can have what we have today. But then I think about it. What are we doing to protect this message, to carry this legacy on, because he sacrificed so much just so that we can have what we have today. Do we pick up the banner of Imam Husayn and carry this message on, or do we let it fall aside?

The question is up to. The answer is up to you. We read in the Quran. And, Surah Asafat, I have 107 and 108. When it talks about Prophet Abraham and how he was going to sacrifice his son to fulfill the vision that he had from Allah.

Allah replaced his son with a lamb. And he says that we read in the Quran. It says he ransomed him with a great sacrifice. Allah calls it a great sacrifice, A'zeem. And he said, the next ayat, the following says.

And we put it off for a later time. And this later time when it was fulfilled with Imam Husayn, alayhi as-salam. With the tragedy of Karbala. In another instance in the Quran, where we look at Allah sends his wrath down on the people of Saleh who killed the She-Camel.

They killed a camel that belonged to the Prophet of Allah, and they were cursed for this. Just imagine what type of penalty Allah would have or what type of wrath Allah would have on someone who would killed the grandson of his messenger and the people they call themselves Muslims.
