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.
Yet, what is one of the reasons for the collapse of the power of the Muslim Ummah over the centuries?
And what does Shaheed Murtaza Mutahhari say in this regard?
What are some of the philosophical or theological distortions and corruptions over the history of the Muslims that have caused severe damage to the power of the Muslim Ummah?
What is an incorrect notion of Shifa'at, the intermediation of the Immaculate Imams (A) and the holy Messenger of Allah (S)?
What is a major distortion in the narrative of Ashura and Karbala, which can have a hand in the destruction of the mission of Imam Husayn (A)?
Finally, in what ways have the enemies of Islam tried to falsely paint Imam Husayn (A) as the modern-day narration of Jesus Christ; and what are its dangers?
In order to answer these questions and more, we humbly invited Sayyid Muhammad Hashemi from the Islamic Republic of Iran to explain to us, "Is Imam Husayn (A) the Jesus Christ of Islam?"
Salutations be upon Husayn!
Salutations be upon Ali ibne Husayn!
Salutations be upon the children of Husayn!
Salutations be upon the companions of Husayn!
