ASHURA IN DENMARK

Ashura in Denmark !

This Year We where Gathered many people in Cobenhagen, I was so lucky that a fellow Muslim, got some picture's from that.

I was in that unlucky situation,that i didnt bring my Camera,so no pictures this year, but again Im helped out..

Thank you, Very very much Dear sweetshenu

Ashura This Year Was Also a Speciel day, as We Muslim's in Denmark also are Fighting with other thing's.

We must face insulting's by people in Common, and it was shown on Ashura.

Our Mourning was foremost in regard to Imam Hussein, and with our tear's we also signified our grief toward's all The Cruelty that goes on in the world.

We face insult's,killing's of our Brother's and Sister's ect...and in here we feel that too.

But Ashura this year was Big..So many came and street's where filled up, We walked from Central station of Cobenhagen and direct in middle of City..through alot of street's and ended at our Mosque Imam Ali..wich are the Largest Shiite mosque in Denmark..

Long live the banner of Islam which was saved by the holy blood of the Martyrs in Kerbala..

Hussain Hussain Oh Hussain

Every day is Ashura and every land is Kerbala

From Hell to Eternity of Ashura

The sun was shining above me and the heat was burning my shoulders… .

From the beginning, I have been -patiently and firmly- keeping the secrets of humankind in my heart; Ah!

How hard has it been to wait and Anticipate; every time that I have wished to swallow human race for things they have done, the gentle foot steps of the chosen-ones on my shoulders, reminded me that I had to wait and Anticipate… .

I am the dusty earth, the blessed one who have had the celestial opportunity to be the ground which all the chosen-ones have walked upon; my heart is where I have stored the fountain of their tears and I am the host of their immaculate bodies;

O’ yes! I am so blessed and yet so heart-broken from the dark secrets of the evil-ones… .

A long time ago, when the Prophet Adam (PBUH) walked on my land of Karbala, I remember that he took a handful of me and kissed it and cried; he talked about that which was going to happen in my Karbala… .

Throughout the ages, again and again, I heard from the chosen-ones the same sad melody regarding the land of Karbala; and when I heard the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP) -the most beloved creation of Allah whom the heavens and I were created for- holding his little grandson, Hossain, in his kind arms and whispering that he was the Hossain of Karbala.

I wanted to shake so hard that nothing would remain but I had Mohammad, Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hossain (PBUT), … , on my shoulders; O’ Allah!it has been so hard to wait and Anticipate… .

That day I knew not how was I to feel; that day, I was the ground which the caravan of Imam Hossain (PBUH) and his companions, were traveling upon;

I wished that I could rearrange my map and relocate my Karbala and place it on the other side of oceans, so far away where that caravan could never get to; but… .

In one of the resting places, not so far away from Mecca, Imam Hossain (PBUH) asked his companions to take additional water from me, much more than what they needed until their next stop;

I wondered why?!

The caravan was continuing the journey under the sun above; looking into Hossain’s eyes.

It was as if I could see the entire history of humankind which I had stored in my heart, those eyes were as vast as existence itself; I could not believe my dusty eyes! Was that the Prophet?!

No, that was Ali-Akbar, the son of Imam Hossain (PBUT); O’ my Lord! He looked so much like the Prophet (PBUH&HP)!

Suddenly I felt a trembling on my shoulders which was caused by hundreds of horses coming towards the caravan; who were they?

The Imam asked his companions to stop until those men on horses, would reach them.

They were coming from Kufah; Horr -a top officer of Obaidullah son of Zyyad,the ruler of Kufah- and 1000 men; the mouths of those men and their horses’ too, were as dry as I was, they were so thirsty; that kind Imam -he who was the manifestation of the Prophet’s kindness, benevolence, fairness,… -

gently asked his companions to give water to those men and their horses, too and he himself gave water to one of them who was thirstier than others and had fallen behind;

I knew then that Hossain -who with his Divine Knowledge, knew- had taken those additional waters for his enemies!

I felt smaller than my smallest sand, in the presence of all that greatness… .

All those years, on the one hand, I -the dusty earth- had been witnessing the purity, sincerity and beauty of the Prophet Mohammad and his God-chosen Successors;

it was not too long ago when I opened my arms and took thee Prophet in my heart, and a short while after that, his beloved daughter -Fatima, the ever green broken flower of his garden-; a few years later, I felt the warm and sacred blood of Ali on my shoulders.

I knew then that Ali’s spirit was eager to fly to where he belonged and I embraced his celestial body; then I had to take Hassan (PBUH), another heavenly flower from Allah’s garden, inside me!

On the other hand, all those years, I was also witnessing the evil doings which those people -who called themselves the Caliphs and successors of the Prophet- were doing, mostly secretly, but Yazid son of Mo’aawiah -the Bani Omayah ruler of Hossain’s time- seemed the most shameless of them all, he did so many indecent and unjust acts, not only secretly but also openly.

I wondered, were all those regular people blind or had they chosen to be blind-hearted?!

The messenger returned from Kufah; He carried a letter from the son of Zyyaad.

In it, Horr was ordered to ask Hossain to pledge his allegiance to Yazid son of Mo’aawiah as the leader of the Muslims and successor of the Prophet;

Horr was told that if Hossain refused to do so, Horr had to be very hard on Hossain and prohibit him from entering Kufah and he was to keep Hossain and his companions in the hot and dry desert away from water… .

Imam and his companions -guarded by Horr and his men- entered my hot and dry Karbala on Moharram the 2, year 61 A.H.; entering Karbala, Hossain (PBUH) said that the land was where his Grandfather -

The chosen Prophet of Allah- had prophesied that their blood would be poured upon… .

There was a waterway to the Euphrates river, in the proximity; I wondered, why did Horr let the Imam stay there, while his orders were to be hard on the Imam?!

From Kufah, a top officer of Obaidullah son of Zyyaad named Omar son of sa’d, along with over 4000 soldiers, arrived in Karbala, and Horr and his men went under his command; as days passed, the number of soldiers grew to tens of thousands.

O’ my Lord! You only know, how I wished that I could swallow them and place my dirt over them and prevent them from what they were planning to do… .

On the 7^th of Moharram, Omar son of sa’d ordered his men to close the waterway to the Euphrates river -which Hossain and his companions had access to- and therefore, the supply of water was cut off from Imam Hossain (PBUH) and his companions!

How could the people of Kufah do that?!

Had they truly forgotten, just a few years back when Hossain was a child and my back was broken from dryness, there was a drought in Kufah.

I remember that at that time, the people of Kufah -many of them, the same people who were now standing against Hossain- went to Ali (PBUH) and asked him to implore the Lord for rain and Ali told them to ask Hossain and they did so;

it was Hossain who implored Allah for rain and Allah -loving Hossain so much- answered his prayer and the drought was over; had they truly forgotten or was it just convenient to forget?!

O’ my lord! I can not believe how ignorant some humans are!

Do they not know that their sustenance is from you?

So, why do they do so many wrong things, in order to just gain more?! Do they truly not know that everything is from you or do they just freely choose to be ignorant?!

I -with my dusty eyes- saw a different look on Horr’s face.

May be -now that they had cut off the water supply to Hossain and his companions-

Horr was thinking about the time when Hossain -so kindly- gave him and his thirsty men and horses water in the middle of the desert!

I saw the same look on Horr’s face, every time -during these few days-Hossain send messages to Omar son of Sa’d and tried to enlighten and guide his heart and mind and save him from Hell.

I was so sure that something was happening inside Horr, something wonderful.

When Omar son of Sa’d was getting ready to start the war, Horr -who could not believe that the son of Sa’d was actually going to fight the son of the Prophet- went to the son of Sa’d and asked him if he was really going to fight Hossain?

He responded that yes he was going to throw their heads on the ground, on me!

Then Horr asked him why he did not accept Hossain’s messages and recommendations, to prevent all this; the son of Sa’d just said that he had permission not!

I remember when Hossain talked to the son of Sa’d and asked him to obey Allah and choose salvation and Heaven, Omar said that he was promised the rulership of the city of Ray by the son of Zyyaad and right then, Hossain told him that he would never reach Ray, but Omar son of Sa’d laughed and chose Hell over Heaven.

That is when, I noticed that familiar look on Horr’s face, again.

That morning, the 10^th of Moharram, year 61 A.H. Horr was on his horse, standing next to one of his cousins; Horr asked him, whether or not he had watered his horse?

He responded that he had not and then left Horr to water his horse.

Every one was getting ready to attack Hossain (PBUH) and his companions.

Another one of horr’s cousins -named Mohaajer who was standing close- came to Horr and asked him, what was he planning in his mind? But Horr responded him not.

Suddenly Horr started to tremble, Mohaajer was so surprised, because he knew Horr very well, Horr was one of the most courageous and strongest men he knew.

Mohaajer asked Horr about his trembling; Horr said that he was seeing himself between Heaven and Hell and then Horr continued:

I swear to Allah, I hold dear nothing more than Heaven and I am not going to give up Heaven even if they cut me into pieces and burn me!

Then Horr rode his horse towards Hossain, towards Heaven and away from Hell; and I was proud to be the ground that he rode his horse upon… .

The Act's that happen just shortly after,was the cruelty of killing..meanless and without honor.

May Our Beloved Imam Hussein rest in peace.Ameen
