Our condolences to all the believers, all across the world, wherever they are, upon the holy months of Muharram and Safar.
This year, countless millions across the world once again proudly commemorated the mission of Imam Husayn ibn Ali (A) and most eagerly mourned over the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (A), and his family members and companions who accompanied his eminence into the divine hands of martyrdom as they stood up for Truth and Justice against the overwhelming forces of evil and falsehood.
Is the entire message of Karbala and Imam Husayn (A) limited to tears and mourning?
Will the heat and fire regarding Imam Husayn (A), ever subside in the hearts of the believers?
And what can this heat and fire be described as?
What does it mean when we say that we want to spread the message of Imam Husayn (A)?
And is it the whole purpose of Karbala that the whole world merely mourns over the tragedy that Imam Husayn (A) faced?
What are some of the fundamental components of the movement of Imam Husayn (A)?
What does Imam Khomeini (R) say about the tears that are shed for Imam Husayn (A)?
Did Imam Husayn (A) force anyone to join him in Karbala?
And how does the Qur'anic story of Prophet Abraham and Prophet Ismaeel relate to the above question?
Finally, how is the statement of Qasim ibn Hasan and the 8-year Sacred Defense of the Islamic Revolution relevant to the idea of nurturing and educating the youth regarding the mission and movement of Imam Husayn (A)?
In order to answer these questions and more, we invited Shaykh Muzaffer Hyder from the United Kingdom to answer for us, "Can Death Really Be Sweeter Than Honey?"
Salutations be upon Husayn!
Salutations be upon Ali ibne Husayn!
Salutations be upon the children of Husayn!
Salutations be upon the companions of Husayn!
