Ya Hussain! Ya Hussain!
shaheed-e-Karbala ki mominoN jab yaad aati hai

Ya Hussain! Ya Hussain!
Whenever the martyrs of Karbala are remembered
The world cries and sheds tears of blood
O Hussain! O Hussain!
shah hast Hussain baadshah hast Hussain
deen hast Hussain deen pana hast Hussain
sar daad na daad dast dar dast-e-Yazeed
haq aa ke bina La-Ila hast Hussain
Ruler is Hussain, Emperor is Hussain,
Faith is Hussain , guardian of faith is Hussain .
Offered his head and not the hand to Yazid.
Truly, the mirror of faith is Hussain
sajde mein sar kataane ko aakhir kata dia
lekin Khuda ke naam ka danka baja dia
Ya Hussain! Ya Hussain!!
Finally, he was martyred during prayer
But the word of God was made famous the world over
O Hussain! O Hussain!
deed ki gar talaash hai sar ko jhuka namaaz mein
dil se khudi ko bhool kar khud ko mita namaaz mein
aayega tujh ko jab nazar roo-e-Khuda jab namaaz mein
pahle Hussain ki tarah sar ko kata namaaz mein
aur keh
Ya Hussain! Ya Hussain!
If you search for God, bow your head in prayer
Forget the self, lose your self in prayer
You will then realise God in your prayers
When you first sacrifice yourself like Hussain in prayer and then say,
O Hussain! O Hussain!
kis ki majaal ai Hussain tujh ko ho tujh se ham-saree
baap ke ghar Imam the naana ke ghar payambari
shakl-e-Hussain dekh kar haq bhi kahega hashr mein
ai mere Mustafa ke laal ummat-e-Mustafa baree
Ya Hussain! Ya Hussain!
Who can claim parity with you O Hussain,
Your father was the leader and grandfather was prophet.
Even God will say looking at the face of Hussain
O the flower of Muhammad, all his followers are forgiven
O Hussain! O Hussain!
salaami Karbala mein kya qayamat ki ghari hogi
churi Shabbir ki gardan pe jis dam chal rahi hogi
kaleja thaam kar Meer-e-falaq bhi rah gaya hoga
kaleje per Ali Akbar ke barchi jab lagi hogi
What difficult time it would have been in Karbala
When Shabbir had the knife on his throat.
Even the prince of the Universe would have his heart out
When the dagger was drawn on the heart of Ali Akbar
mujhe jaane do paani bhar ke ye Abbas kehte the
kayi din ki pyaasi hai Sakina ro rahi hogi
luti hai jaise duniya Karbala mein ibn-e-Haider ki
kisi mazloom ki duniya na duniya mein luti hogi
Let me go, let me take the water with me, urged Abbas
Sakina is waiting, thirsty for days.
Like the world of father of Haider was lost
Nobody's world would have been lost this way
Mohammad ke nawaase ne jo kee teghoN ke saaye mein
bashar to kya farishtoN se na aise bandagi hogi
hamare khooN ke badle mein ummat bakhsh de Ya Rab
Khuda se hashr mein ye iltijaa Shabbir ki hogi
Ya Hussain! Ya Hussain!
As prayed the grandson of Muhammad under the swords
Let alone humans, even angels would not have prayed that way.
O God ! forgive the Muslims in lieu of my sacrifice
This will be the request of Shabbir on the judgement day.
O Hussain! O Hussain!
from wikipedia
The Mourning of Muharram is an important period of mourning in Shia Islam, taking place in Muharram which is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It is also called the Remembrance of Muharram (Arabic: ذكرى محرم or مناسبة محرم). Many of the events associated with the remembrance take place in congregation halls known as Hussainia.
The event marks the anniversary of the Battle of Karbala when Imam Hussein ibn Ali, the grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and a Shia Imam, was killed by the forces of the second Umayyad caliph Yazid I. The event is marked by arranging 'majalis' (gatherings) to review Islamic teachings and to commemorate Imam Hussain's sacrifice. The mourning reaches its climax on the tenth day, known as Ashura, on which the forces of Yazid killed the 72 individuals who fought, including Imam Hussain, his family and supporters. The women and children left living were made prisoners and transported to Yazid's court in Damascus.

[edit]Etymology
Majlis in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
The words Azadari (عزاداری) which mean mourning and lamentation; and Majalis-e Aza have been exclusively used in connection with the remembrance ceremonies for the martyrdom of Imam Hussain. Majalis-e Aza, also known as Aza-e Husayn, includes mourning congregations, lamentations, matam and all such actions which express the emotions of grief and above all, repulsion against what Yazid stood for.
The term majalis has both a grammatical meaning and a meaning which relates to Aza-e-Husayn. In its technical sense, a majalis is a meeting, a session or a gathering..

[edit]Background
Shi'a Muslims in Bahrain strike their chests during the Remembrance of Muharram.
According to Shia sources, The Azadari of Muharram was started by the family of Muhammad (the Ahl-ul-Bayt) after the death of Muhammad's grandson Husayn ibn Ali at the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD. Following the battle of Karbala, Muhammad's granddaughter Zaynab bint Ali and sister of Husayn, began mourning for the fallen and making speeches against Husayn ibn Ali's opponents: Ibn Ziyad and Yazid I. News of Husayn ibn Ali's death was also spread by Imam Zain-ul-Abideen, who succeeded Husayn as the Shia Imam, via sermons and speeches throughout Iraq, Syria and Hejaz.
Zainab and Zain-ul-Abideen informed the people that Yazid had martyred Imam Husayn and seventy-two of his companions including his six month old son Ali Asghar, and that their women and children were taken as prisoners to Syria. When word of mourning reached Yazid he decided to release the captive women and children from the prison in Damascus, out of fear of public revolt against his rule. He sent for Zain-ul-Abideen, informed him of the impending release and asked if he wished for anything further. Zain-ul-Abideen said he would consult with Zainab. She asked Yazid to provide a place where the people could mourn for Imam Husayn and others of Muhammad's household. A house was provided, and here Zaynab binte Ali held the first Majlis-e Aza of Husayn and started the Mourning of Muharram.[citation needed]

The mourning and commemoration for Husayn ibn Ali originated in Iraq, as this is where Husayn was martyred. However, they were held in Iran as early as the twelfth century, when both Sunnis and Shias participated in them. In the Safavid period, the annual mourning ceremonies for Imam Hosayn, combined with the ritual cursing of his enemies, acquired the status of a national institution. Expressions of grief such as sine-zani (beating the chest), zangir-zani (beating oneself with chains), and tage-zani or Qama Zani also known as Tatbeer (hitting oneself with swords or knives) emerged as common features of the proliferating mourning-processions (dasta-gardani). Mourning for the martyred Imam also takes place in assemblies held in buildings erected especially for the purpose, known either as Hussainia or takia, as well as in mosques and private houses.

In Lucknow, India, the Muharram processions and rituals are known as Azadari. The processions, including the Chup Tazia, have been observed since the sixteenth century or earlier, when Lucknow was capital of the state of Awadh.
In the 20th century, beginning in 1906, Azadari became a focus of communal tension in Lucknow. In 1977, after riots broke out for the fourth time since 1968, the government of Uttar Pradesh banned the Azadari processions. Shia leaders protested the ban, and many Shia Muslims courted arrest by defying the ban each year.
In 1997 a hunger strike was launched to protest the Azadari ban. In April three Shia youths committed self-immolation and died. A noted Shia scholar called for a peace march on 18 April 1997 that reportedly drew more than 200,000 Shias.[citation needed]
Late in the year, after months of arrests and clashes between police and protesters, the government granted limited permission for Shias in Lucknow to hold Azadari processions.
[edit]Types of mourning
Main articles: Marsia, Noha, and Soaz
Shia Muslims take out a Alam procession on day of Ashura in Barabanki, India, Jan, 2009.
How the event is mourned differs between different branches of Shia and different ethnic groups. The event is also observed by many Sunnis, but to a lesser extent, and as a time of remembrance, rather than mourning[citation needed].
In the Twelver three traditional schools (Usooli, Akhbari, and Shaykhi), mourners, both male and female, congregate (in separate sections) for sorrowful, poetic recitations performed in memory of the death of Husayn, lamenting and grieving to the tune of beating drums and chants of "Ya Husayn." Passion plays are also performed, reenacting the Battle of Karbala and the suffering and death of Husayn at the hands of Yazid. They offer condolences to Imam-e-Zamana also known as Imam al-Mahdi whom they believe will avenge the blood of Husayn and bring justice to the world.
Bektashis and Alevis also mourn, and they keep themselves from eating and drinking ("fasting") the first 10–12 days of Muharram. In this period, the Alevis wear black clothes, do not shave themselves and avoid any type of entertainment and pleasure. Originally, it was also forbidden to bathe and change clothes during this period, but today most Alevis do not follow this rule. This is called "Muharrem Matemi", "Yas-i Muharrem" or "Muharrem orucu". But because it is also called "fasting", many people falsely think that Alevis celebrate the Muharram. The definition of the "fast" in this connection is different from the normal type of "fasting". Bektashis also greet each other by saying "Ya Imam! Ya Husayn."
The only Ismaili group which mourns are the Mustaali, who mourn similarly to the majority of Twelvers. Although, Nizari Ismaili commemorate Muharram through the tradition of not celebrating marriages, birthdays, and other religious celebrations during this time to show respect to there other Muslim brothers who are mourning.

For the duration of the remembrance, it is customary for mosques to provide free meals (nazar) on certain nights of the month to all people. These meals are viewed as being special and holy, as they have been consecrated in the name of Imam Husayn, and thus partaking of them is considered an act of communion with Allah, Imam Husayn, and humanity.

In South Asia, a number of literary and musical genres, produced by both Shias and Sunnis, that have been inspired by the Battle of Karbala are performed during the month, such as marsiya, noha and soaz. This is meant to increase the peoples understanding of how the enemies fought The Battle of Karbala against Husayn and his followers. In Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica all ethnic and religious communities participate in the event, locally known as "Hosay" or "Hussay"[citation needed]. In Indonesia, the event is known as Tabuik (Minangkabau language) or Tabut (Indonesian).
[edit]Ziarat Imam Husayn Shrine
Main articles: Imam Husayn Shrine and Ziarat
Many Shia also tend to embark on a pilgrimage to the Imam Husayn Shrine in Karbala itself, as it is one of the holiest places for Shias outside of Mecca and Medina. Up to one million pilgrims a year visit the city to observe the anniversary of Husayn ibn Ali's death. [1] The shrine is located opposite that of Abbas ibn Ali.
[edit]Matam
Zanjir(Chain) used for 'Zanjir matam'
Many of the male and female participants congregate in public for ceremonial chest beating (matam) as a display of their devotion to Imam Husayn and in remembrance of his suffering. In some Shi'a societies, such as those in Bahrain, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan and Iraq, some male participants incorporate knives or razors swung upon chains into their matam.
[edit]Taziya
Main article: Ta'zieh
Indian Shia Muslims take out a Ta'ziya procession on day of Ashura in Barabanki, India, Jan, 2009.
One form of mourning is the theatrical re-enactment of the Battle of Karbala. In Iran this is called taziya or taziyeh. Theatrical groups that specialize in taziya are called taziya groups.[1] Taziyas were popular through the Qajar dynasty until the early twentieth century, but the re-enactments slowly declined until they were mostly abandoned in the large cities by the early 1940s. Nonetheless, taziyas continued to exist in Iran on a smaller scale especially in more rural and traditional areas. Reza Shah, the first of the Pahlavi dynasty, had outlawed taziyas. Despite some attempts since 1979, Muharram processions and various forms of the rawza khani are still more common.[2]
In South Asia where dramatic commemorations are less significant, ta'zīya came to refer specifically to the miniature mausoleums used in processions held in Muharram. It all started from the fact that the great distance of India from Karbala prevented Indian Shi'is being buried near the tomb of Imam Husayn or making frequent pilgrimages(ziyarat) to the tomb. This is the reason why Indian Shi'is established local karbalas on the subcontinent by bringing soil from Karbala and sprinkling it on lots designated as future cemeteries. Once the karbalas were established on the subcontinent, the next step was to bring Husayn's tomb-shrine to India. This was established by building replicas of Husayn's mausoleum called ta'zīya to be carried in Muharram processions. Thousands of ta'zīyas in various shapes and sizes are fashioned every year for the months of mourning of Muharram and Safar; and are carried in processions and may be buried at the end of Ashura or Arbain.[3]

v t e
Muhammad said:
Surely, there exists in the hearts of the Mu' mineen, with respect to the martyrdom of Husayn, a heat that never subsides.[4]
Muhammad said:
O Fatimah! Every eye shall be weeping on the Day of Judgment except the eye which has shed tears over the tragedy of Husayn for surely, that eye shall be laughing and shall be given the glad tidings of the bounties and comforts of Paradise.[5]
Ali ibn Hussein said:
Every Mu'min, whose eyes shed tears upon the killing of Husayn ibn' Ali and his companions, such that the tears roll down his cheeks, God shall accommodate him in the elevated rooms of paradise.[6]
Ali said to Ibn Abbas:
(Once when he happened to pass by Karbala), Isa (Jesus) sat down and began to weep. His disciples who were observing him, followed suit and began weeping too, but not comprehending the reason for this behaviour, they asked him: "O' Spirit of God! What is it that makes you weep?" Isa (Jesus) said: "Do you know what land this is?" The disciples replied: "No." He then said: "This is the land on which the son of the Prophet Muhammad shall be killed.[7]
[edit]Reason for Mourning
Zaynab binte Ali Sister of Imam Hussain after Karbala vowed that as long as the people do not recognise the actual cause of Karbala, the followers of Hussain will continue to protest on the streets and in the dwellings as to what happened in Karbala. Though besides Sunnis several Shias do not know that it's a protest and invitation to people to come and listen to mourners as to what happened in Karbala. It is believed by many[who?] that Hussain's journey to Karbala was to claim his Imamat over the people of Kufa who had written letters inviting him to Kufa. Whereas per Shia's belief Husain knew he was to be killed there. He undertook this journey to deny his approval or Bait to Yazid becoming Caliph because he considered Yazid to be a danger to the Muslim Ummah and a threat to Islam. His sacrifice and revolution were to preserve Islam and his Grandfather's Ummah against the innovation, hypocrisy, wickedness as well as the attempts to destroy and alter Islam and the quest for worldly pleasures and worldly gains by Yazid and his people. It was a matter of right and wrong, just and unjust and Hussain chose what is just, despite the consequences.[citation needed]

Hazrat Qasim was the son of Imam Hassan and the nephew of Imam Hussein. He was born 7th Shaban 47AH 3 years before his father passed away. After Imam Hassan passed away Imam Hussein took Hazarat Qasim into his care and both Imam Hussein and Hazrat Abbas taught him valuable skills and lessons.
Hazrat Qasim was only 13 and he was very salient, courageous and brave. When Imam Hussein was preparing to leave Medina in 60AH Hazrat Qasims mother Umme Farwa asked Imam Hussein to take her and Hazrat Qasim with him and Imam Hussein agreed.
On the day of Ashura after Aun and Mohammed had fallen in the battlefield, Hazrat Qasim went to Imam and begged him for permission to go and fight but Imam Hussein refused. Hazrat Qasim was very disappointed and he went to his mother. When Ummie Farwa saw how disappointed her son was, she remembered that just before Imam Hassan had died, Imam Hassan had written a letter and told his wife Ummie Farwa that if Qasim is ever in difficulty, to give him this letter. The letter was given to Hazrat Qasim and inside it was written that Qasim must represent his father when Islam will need to be saved by sacrifice.
Hazarat Qasim presented the letter to Imam Hussein. Imam read the letter and after reading it allowed Hazrat Qasim to fight as this is what Imam had wanted Hazrat Qasim to do. Hazrat Qasim was also known for his handsomeness, when he approached the battlefield the enemy’s begin to think “how can we kill someone whose face shines like the moon”. On the battlefield Hazrat Qasim killed several warriors who came towards him. When the enemy’s saw his bravery and realised that they couldn’t overpower him in a single combat, they sadly stood behind Hazrat Qasim and he was hit on the head with a sword.
Hazrat Qasim tried to continue fighting but unfortunately he was very young and thirsty. He fell from his horse saying “Oh my uncle, accept my last prayers”. Sadly by the time Imam Hussein read his nephews body it had been trampled all over by all the enemy’s horses. Imam Hussein covered his body with his cloak, and then returned to camp. He went to visit Umme Farwa’s tent with the other sisters to give Umme Farwa the news. She was found praying to Allah saying how proud she was of Hazrat Qasim and asking Allah to give her strength to bear the news of her son.
