Allah swt berfirman dalam surat al Baqarah, ayat 23: “ Dan jika kamu (tetap) dalam keraguan tentang Alqur’an yang kami wahyukan kepada hamba kami (Muhammad), buatlah paling tidak satu surat (saja) yang semisal Alqur’an itu dan ajaklah penolong-penolongmu selain Allah, jika kamu orang-orang yang benar”. Dan pada ayat berikutnya Allah swt berfirman:” Maka jika kamu tidak dapat membuat(nya) - dan pasti kamu tidak akan dapat membuat(nya), peliharalah dirimu dari neraka yang bahan bakarnya manusia dan batu, yang disediakan bagi orang-orang kafir”.
Pada dasarnya bahasa qur`an sedemikian fasih dan indah sehingga setiap orang yang walaupun sedikit memahami bahasa arab, dengan membaca ataupun mendengar lantunan ayat, dengan sendirinya akan memahami bahwa tidak ada satu orator pun yang dapat berbicara dengan bahasa yang sedemikian rupa fasihnya. Bahasa dan ucapan fasih tersebut tidak mungkin berasal dari manusia. Mukjizat Alquran tidak terbatas pada pengetahuan-pengetahuan mendalam berupa ilmu logika, sosial, keindahan serta kefasihan bahasa dan ilmu tentang rahasia alam gaib yang sangat menakjubkan. Setiap hari terungkap bidang-bidang baru dari keajaiban-keajaiban Alqur’an.
* Kata “syahr” yang berarti bulan, diulang 12 kali dalam alqur’an sesuai dengan jumlah bulan-bulan dalam tahun.
* Kata “Yaum” yang berarti hari, diulang 365 kali dalam alqur’an sesuai dengan jumlah hari dalam setahun dalam hitungan miladi.
* Kata “Sajada“ yang berarti telah bersujud, baik kata tersebut berbentuk kata kerja lampau ataupun kata kerja yang sedang atau akan di lakukan, diulang 34 kali di dalam al quran. Jumlah tersebut sama dengan jumlah sujud-sujud shalat wajib sebab dalam setiap hari ada 17 rakaat shalat wajib dan terdapat dua sujud dalam setiap rakaatnya.
* Kata "Rajul” yang berarti lelaki sama seperti kata “Imraah” yang berarti perempuan, masing-masing 24 kali digunakan dalam al Quran
* Kata “ Malaaikah” bermakna malaikat dan kata “Syaitan” bermakna setan atau jin, masing-masing disebutkan 88 kali dalam al Qur’an.
* Kata “istiadzah” yang artinya berlindung dan kata "iblis" yang berarti setan 11 kali digunakan dalam al Qur’an.
* Kata “akhirah” yang berarti akhirat dan kata “dunya” yang berarti dunia masing-masing 115 kali disebutkan dalam al Qur’an.
* Kata “Alhasanaat” yang berarti kebaikan-kebaikan dan “Assaiyiaat” yang berarti kejelekan masing-masing disebutkan 180 kali dalam al Qur’an
* Kata “Alhayaah” yang berarti kehidupan dan “Almaut” yang berarti kematian masing-masing 145 kali disebutkan dalam al Qur’an.
11. Kata ”Arsala” bermakna telah mengutus, diulang 513 kali dalam al quran dan nama 28 nabi yang disebutkan dalam al Qran juga diulang 513 kali secara keseluruhan.
* Kata “Ar Rusul” bermakna para nabi dan kata “An Naas” bermakna orang-orang, masing-masing diulang 368 kali dalam al Quran.
* Kata “Ar Raqbah” bermakna keinginan dan kata “Ar Rahbah” bermakna ketakutan masing-masing 8 kali diulang dalam al Quran.
* Nama mulia Rasulullah ( Muhammad dan Ahmad ) 5 kali diulang secara keseluruhan dalam al quran ( 4 kali nama Muhammad dan 1 kali nama Ahmad ) dan kata “shalawat” yang bermakna ucapan shalawat yang banyak ditujukan kepada Rasulullah saww dan keluarganya juga diulang 5 kali dalam al Qur’an.
* Kata “Itsar” yang berarti berkorban untuk orang lain dan kata "syah" yang berarti pelit masing-masing 5 kali diuang dalam al Qur’an
* Kata “suruur" yang berarti kebahagiaan dan kata "huzn" yang berarti kesedihan masing-masing 4 kali disebutkan daam al Qur’an.
* Kata “Al har” yang berarti panas dan kata "al bard" yang berarti dingin masing-masing 4 kali diulang dalam al Qur’an.
* Istilah “Hizbullah” yang berarti penolong Allah dan istilah “Hizbussyaitan” yang bermakna pengikut setan, masing-masing diulang 3 kali dalam al quran.
* Dalam al Quran secara langsung diisyaratkan bahwa 300 tahun syamsiah sama persis dengan 309 tahun qamariah. Hal ini juga diisyaratkan dalam kisah Imam Ali as yang ditanya oleh salah seorang ulama yahudi bahwa kenapa masa tidurnya Ashabul Kahfi disebutkan 309 tahun didalam aquran sementara dalam penjelasan kitab taurat disebutkan 300 tahun saja? Beliau as berkata: Tahun anda adalah tahun symasiah sedangkan tahun kita adalah tahun qamariah.
Nota:
Menariknya, salah satu dosen matematika melakukan penghitungan atas hal ini dan kesimpulan yang dapat difahami sebagai berikut:
Tahun syamsiah memiliki 365 hari, untuk itu 300 tahun syamsiah adalah 300 x 365 = 109500 hari. Sementara tahun qamariah memiliki 354 hari, 8 jam dan 48 menit, untuk itu 309 tahun qamariah sama dengan 309 x 354 hari & 8 jam & 48 menit = 109500 hari pula. Dengan demikian jelas bahwa 300 syamsiah sama dengan 309 qamariah, tidak kurang atau lebih walaup satu hari. Hal ini berjalan beratus-ratus tahun setelah turunnya alquran hingga kini masih tetap bahwa sehari semalam adalah 24 jam dan setiap jam terdapat 60 menit, padahal saat itu belum ditemukan jam. Oleh karenanya setiap kata-kata yang terdapat dalam alquran pada tempat dan jumlah tertentu mengandung pesan dan pemahaman spesifik. Sesungguhnya hal ini merupakan bentuk dari mukjizat, sebab kumpulan dari ayat-ayat quran yang turun untuk Rasulullah, pada rentang waktu yang relatif panjang 23 tahun dan dalam situasi serta kondisi yang beraneka ragam seperti, terkadang dalam perang, dalam perdamaian, dalam mekkah, dalam madinah, dalam pengepungan” Sya`bi Abi Thalib”, dalam perjalanan, dalam waktu siang dan malam. Tidak demikian hal nya bahwa Rasulullah menulis kitab layaknya para pengarang berbagai kitab yang menulis kitab dengan merujuk kepada referensi-referensi yang beragam di sela waktu kosong didalam perpustakaan. Bentuk lain dari kemukjizatan Al quran tampak pada firman Allah swt dalam surat Ash Shaff, ayat 6 yang berbunyi:” Dan (Ingatlah) ketika Isa ibnu Maryam berkata: "Hai Bani Israil, Sesungguhnya Aku adalah utusan Allah kepadamu, membenarkan Kitab sebelumku, yaitu Taurat, dan memberi kabar gembira dengan (datangnya) seorang Rasul yang akan datang sesudahku, yang bernama Ahmad (Muhammad)”. Dan dalam surat Al A`raaf, ayat 157 Allah swt berfiman:” (yaitu) orang-orang yang mengikut rasul, nabi yang ummi yang (namanya) mereka dapati tertulis di dalam Taurat dan Injil yang ada di sisi mereka”. Jika saat turunnya alquran, nama Muhammad saww tidak terdapat dalam kitab Taurat maupun kitab Injil, maka ulama yahudi yang senantiasa mengawasi Islam dari dekat akan segera menunjukkannya kepada kaum muslimin untuk membuktikan ketidak autentikan Alqur`an. Upaya mereka untuk membuktikan ketidak autentikan Al qur`an sampai pada kebuntuan karena nama suci Muhammad saww tercantum dalam kitab-kitab suci yahudi dan Kristen tatkala turunnya ayat tersebut. Sementara mereka sangat mengenal nama Rasulullah, yang dalam surat Al An`am, ayat 20 disebutkan:” Orang-orang yang Telah kami berikan Kitab kepadanya, mereka mengenalnya (Muhammad) seperti mereka mengenal anak-anaknya sendiri”.

Surah Al Waqiah Recited Beautifully By Sheikh Adbullah Basfar.
Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w. : “Ajarkanlah surah Al-Waqi’ah kepada isteri-isterimu. Kerana sesungguhnya ia adalah surah Kekayaan.” (Hadis riwayat Ibnu Ady)
Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w. : “Barang siapa yang membaca surah Al-Waqi’ah setiap malam maka dia tidak akan tertimpa kefakiran dan kemiskinan selamanya. Dan surah Al-Waqi’ah adalah surah kekayaan, maka bacalah ia dan ajarkan kepada anak-anakmu semua.”
- Ubay bin ka’b berkata bahwa Rasullulah saw bersabda:” barang siapa yang membaca surat Al-Waqi’ah, ia akan dicatat tidak tergolong pada orang-orang yang lalai.”
- Abdullah bin Mas’ud berkata bahwa Rasullulah saw bersabda”barang siapa yang membaca surat Al-Waqi’ah,ia tidak akan tertimpa oleh kefakiran selamanya”
- Imam Ja’far Ash- Shadiq sa (ahlul bait) berkata :”barang siapa yang membaca surat Al-Waqi’ah pada malam jum’at ,ia akan dicintai oleh Allah, dicintai oleh manusia,tidak melihat kesengsaraan, kefakiran,kebutuhan,dan penyakit dunia,surat ini adalah bagian dari sahabat Amirul Mukimin (sa) yang bagi beliau memiliki keistimewan yang tidak tertandingi oleh yang lain.”
- Imam Ja’far Ash-Shadiq sa (ahlul bait) berkata: “barang siapa yang merindukan surga dan sifatnya, maka bacalahsurat Al-Waqi’ah; dan barang siapa yang ingin melihat sifat neraka,maka bacalah surat As-Sajadah.”
- Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir sa (ahlul bait) berkata:”barang siapa yang membaca surat Al-Waqi’ah sebelum tidur,ia akan berjumpa dengan Allah dalam keadaan wajahnya seperti bulan purnama.”
Di dalam surah Al-Waqi’ah terkandung beberapa khasiat, antara lain:
• Bila orang membiasakan membaca surah ini setiap malam satu kali, maka dia dijauhkan dari kemiskinan selamanya.
• Bila di baca 14 kali setiap selesai solat Asar, maka orang yang membacanya itu akan memperoleh kekayaan yang berlimpah ruah.
• Jika di baca surah ini sebanyak 41 kali dalam satu majlis (sekali duduk), insyaAllah di tunaikan segala hajatnya khususnya yang berkaitan dengan rezeki.
• Supaya menjadi orang yang kaya sentiasa bersyukur, amalkan membaca surah ini sebanyak 3 kali selepas solat subuh dan 3 kali selepas solat Isya’. InsyaAllah tidak akan berlalu masa setahun itu melainkan ia akan di jadikan seorang yang hartawan lagi dermawan.
• Amalan orang-orang sufi, supaya dilimpahkan rezeki. Hendaklah berpuasa selama seminggu bermula pada hari Jumaat. Setiap selepas solat fardhu bacalah Surah Al-Waqi’ah ini sebanyak 25 kali sehinggalah sampai pada malam Jumaat berikutnya; pada malam Jumaat berikutnya itu, selepas solat Maghrib bacalah surah ini sebanyak 25 kali, selepas solat Isya’ bacalah surah ini sebanyak 125 kali diikuti dengan selawat keatas Nabi sebanyak 1000 kali. Setelah selesai, hendaklah ia memperbanyakkan sedekah. Kemudian amalkanlah surah ini sekali pada waktu pagi dan petang. Insya’Allah berhasil.
• Surah ini jika dibaca disisi mayat atau orang yang sedang nazak, insyaAllah di permudahkan untuk roh keluar dari jasadnya. Jika dibaca disisi orang sakit, diringankan kesakitannya. Jika di tulis, kemudian dipakaikan kepada orang yang hendak bersalin, InsyaAllah segera melahirkan dengan mudah. Boleh juga dibaca disisi orang yang hendak bersalin sebagai selusuh.
Dalam sebuah riwayat, Ubay bin Kaab berkata bahwa Rasulullah saw bersabda, “Barangsiapa yang membaca surat Al-Waqi`ah, ia akan dicatat tidak tergolong pada orang-orang yang lalai.”
Abdullah bin Mas`ud berkata bahwa Rasulullah saw bersabda, “Barangsiapa yang membaca surat Al-Waqi`ah, ia tidak akan tertimpa oleh kefakiran selamanya”.
Ulama fikih Imam Ja`far Ash-Shadiq as meriwayatkan beberapa hadits seperti “Barangsiapa yang membaca surat Al-Waqi`ah pada malam Jumat, ia akan dicintai oleh Allah, dicintai oleh manusia, tidak melihat kesengsaraan, kefakiran, kebutuhan, dan penyakit dunia”.
Juga dari Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir bin Ali Zainal Abidin bin Husain bin Ali bin Abu Thalib meriwayatkan bahwa Rasulullah saw bersabda, “Barangsiapa yang membaca surat Al-Waqi`ah sebelum tidur, ia akan berjumpa dengan Allah dalam keadaan wajahnya seperti bulan purnama”.
Demikianlah keutamaan Surat Al-Waqi`ah. Marilah kita biasakan membacanya agar senantiasa mendapatkan keberkahan dan berada dalam naungan Allah Ta`ala
9th Rajab - Birthday of Hazrat Ali Asghar(A) - The Greatest Martyr of Karbala
Hazrat Ali Asghar was the youngest child of imam Hussain(A). He was born only a few weeks before imam left Madina. His mother’s name was Rubab(A), daughter of Imra’u'l Qais who was the chief of the tribe of Kinda. Rubaab had two children, Sakina(A) and Ali Asghar(A) She and her two children accompanied imam to karbala. The fact that imam took with him a newly born baby further demonstrates the prestige of H. Ali Asghar(A).
At karbala, Asghar was only six months old. From the seventh Muharram there was no water in imam’s camp. Asghar was in great pain because of thirst. On Ashura day, after Ali Akber had been martyred, imam Hussain was standing outside the camp. He was left all alone and he was preparing to go into the battlefield. Just then he heard a child cry. It was Ali Asghar, tormented by the pangs of hunger and thirst.
Imam walked into Bibi Rubab’s tent. He lifted the child from the cradle. “Rubab,” he said, “I will take him to Yazeed’s army. Surely they can not possibly deny this little infant a few drops of water?” Rubab changed Ali Asghar’s clothes. She even tied a small turban on his head. Like any other mother she wanted her son to look at his best in front of strangers.
Imam Hussain carried the child to the battle field. Walking up to Yazeed’s soldiers imam Hussain said, “This child has done you no harm. He is dying of thirst. I am asking for a few drops of water for him.”There was no response. imam said, “If you are afraid that when you bring Asghar any water I will drink it, look, I will put him on the ground and you can come yourself and give him water.” He put the child on the sands of karbala and moved a couple of steps back.You can imagine how hot the desert sand was. Asghar lay there not even wincing. He turned towards the enemy and stared at them. A murmur arose among the soldiers but no one came forward to give water to the baby. imam took Asghar in his arms and in a clear voice said, “Asghar, my son, show them how thirsty you are!” Asghar turned his head towards the soldiers. He smiled sweetly. Opened his mouth. Brought out his dry tongue and moved it over his lips. The ultimate sword had been unsheathed !
The soldiers were so moved by this that they could be heard sobbing. Still, they were very afraid of Yazeed and none dared come forward to give water to Ali Asghar. Umar Sa’ad was worried. It seemed that Asghar was emerging victorious in this confrontation against the might of yazid. He looked at Hurmala, a famous archer, and said, “Silence Hussain!” Then a terrible thing happened. Hurmala lifted his bow. Aimed an arrow at the child. The arrow flew across the hot desert. There was a hissing sound. Asghar smiled. He lifted his head and arched his neck!! No civilized mind can even imagine what happened next. The hissing sound stopped and Asghar lay still on his father’s arms.
Imam Hussain looked down at Asghar’s neck, he saw the arrow, he saw the neck, he saw the smile and then he could see no more!!! Our imam began to feel faint. For a moment everything went dark. He could not see! There was a total silence over karbala, broken only by the sound of the gentle waves of Furaat. Even the enemy appeared stunned. Slowly Hussain turned round and now looked at the baby in his arms. The arrow had passed through the tender neck and lodged in imam Hussain’s shoulder. He looked at the sky, and prayed “Ya Allah, give me the courage in this most difficult moment of my life. No Prophet ever was subjected to a test as severe as this.”
THUS THE YOUNGEST CHILD OF HUSSAIN(A) BECAME THE GREATEST MARTYR OF KARBALA
Imam Husayn on the day of Ashura went towards the enemies to ask for water for his young son who was only 6 months old... Imam reassured the enemy that the water was only asked to quench the thirst ...
Imam Husayn on the day of Ashura went towards the enemies to ask for water for his young son who was only 6 months old... Imam reassured the enemy that the water was only asked to quench the thirst of the young child and was not for himself.
They didn't believe him and they were so hard hearted that Uman ibn Saad ordered Hurmala to shoot an arrow at the baby.
The arrow was no ordinary arrow it was an arrow which had 3 heads and those arrows are used to pierce the neck of the camels in the desert! how hard hearted were these people that they shot the arrow at the small neck of the baby.. he was the little martyr on the Day of Ashura...
Salaams to you O Husayn for having the patience after seeing the neck of your 6month old rip open before your own eyes... Asalaamu Alayka ya Aba abdillah
This is the place where Ali asghar had the arrow shot at him!
Peace be upon you who was the small, young and thirsty child.. who also died thirsty
(alaa la'natullahi alal qawmiz dhalimeen) Ali Asghar is buried in Karbala today on the chest of Imam Husayn (As)
this is a tragic act of how the 6month old baby of aba abdillah Husayn (as) Gave his life for Islam... all he wanted was water.. La'nah on Hurmala
Ketika Imam Husain (as) menyaksikan dengan matanya, 'Ali Akbar dipanah dalam keadaan tekaknya kering kehausan. Tidak cukup itu, bayi kecil, 'Ali Asghar yang merengek-rengek perlukan air tetapi panah pula yang dilayangkan ke tubuhnya.
Bagi mereka yang begitu rapat dengan sejarah itu, emosinya membuak-buak, linangan air mata tidak dapat dibendung lagi. Kadang kala kerana faktor budaya setempat, ada yang terdorong melukakan badan mereka, mungkin ingin merasai penderitaan Imam Husain (as) dan ahli keluarganya serta para sahabatnya.
Apa peliknya jika bekas Presiden Mesir, Gamal Abdul Naser mati dibunuh oleh Khalid Islamboli, ada juga orang Mesir meratap hingga membunuh diri, inikan pula cucu Nabi (saw) yang dibunuh. Jadi tidak mustahil ada yang bertindak terlalu emosi dan meluahkan segala-galanya.
Namun wajarkah mereka yang dikatakan sebagai pengamal bid'ah itu dihapuskan dan dihalalkan darah mereka dengan aksi letupan bom sebagaimana yang sering terjadi di Pakistan dan juga Iraq apabila golongan bermazhab Ahlul Bait beramai-ramai keluar menyambut 'Asyura secara terbuka selepas puluhan tahun dihalang oleh rejim Saddam Hussein.

Shab-e-Aashura (HAZRAT ALI ASGHAR(as))Tonight is the eve of Ashura. A very tragic night. A very sad night. The last night for the 72 martyrs of Karbala.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Tonight is the 10th night of Moharram.
Tonight is the eve of Ashura. A very tragic night. A very sad night. The last night for the 72 martyrs of Karbala.
The last night for brothers to be with their sisters. The last night for sisters to be with their brothers. The last night for fathers to be with their children. The last night for mothers to be with their children. The last night for little Sakina to be with her beloved uncle Abbas(as) and dearest father Hussain(a.s).
Indeed, a night never to be forgotten.
A night to shed more tears. A night to do more matam.
THE NIGHT OF ASHURA
ON THE LAND OF KARBALA
Mothers are sitting with their children. Umme Laila(sa) is with Ali Akber(as), Umme Farwah(sa) is with Qasim(as), Bibi Zainab (sa)is with Auno- Mohammed.
What are these mothers of Karbala telling their beloved children?
They are preparing them for Jehad. They are preparing them to sacrifice their lives. Preparing them to die!
Why? Because they know Hussain(a.s) is on the right path. The right path to save Islam!
Let us send our salaams to those mothers of Karbala for sacrificing their most precious for Islam.
Abbas (as)the Alamdar! Like every night, Abbas (as)was guarding the camp.
Where was Hussain(a.s)?
Hussain(a.s) had gathered all his friends and companions in his tent.
"My friends, my companions, tonight is the last night. Tomorrow is the day of Ashura. Tomorrow is the day of Shahadat - martyrdom! None of us will be spared by Yazid's soldiers."
Imam Hussain(a.s) continued:
"My friends, my companions, you have suffered enough. There is still time to save your lives. Escape in the darkness of the night. I will have no objections. I will forgive you. Go, my friends! Go, my companions!"
Imam Hussain(a.s) blew the candles off. There was total darkness.
Anyone could have escaped without being seen or embarrassed.
After a while, Hussain(a.s) lit the candles.
How many ran away? One? Two? Five? Ten?
No one! Why did they not run away to save their lives?
Because, my fellow Hussain(a.s)i, they had recognised the truth.
Because they knew Hussain(a.s) was right.
Because they knew Hussain(a.s) was on the true path.
Because they knew their sacrifice would save Islam.
Hussain(a.s) was lucky to be blessed with true friends and best companions, - faithful, truthful and pious!
Our greetings to those 72 martyrs of Karbala for their great sacrifice for Islam.
Imam Hussain(a.s) made the biggest sacrifice.
In one day, he sacrificed his brothers, nephews and children on the land of Karbala.
He remained patient after seeing so many dead in one day.
Did Hussain(a.s) complain?
NO, NEVER!
On the contrary, after sacrificing his 18 year old son Ali Akber (as)he looked up at the sky and said:
"YA ALLAH, GIVE ME MORE PATIENCE. YA ALLAH, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN GIVE FOR YOUR SAKE?"
Allah's will was Hussain(a.s)'s command. Hussain(a.s) was prepared and willing to sacrifice his family. He never prayed to Allah to save his family.
Instead he prayed for PATIENCE! PATIENCE! AND MORE PATIENCE!
ALLAH! WHAT A BIG HEART Hussain(a.s) HAD IN Karbala!
pieces. Abbas (as)was lying on the bank of River Furaat. Ali Akber's(as) chest was torn open with a spear.
Is there any more to sacrifice?
Tonight is the night of Ali Asghar(as). The little MUJAHID - the little soldier and the youngest SHAHEED.
Ashura came to the land of Karbala.
One-by-one, Hussain(a.s)'s friends and companions were martyred.
Auno - Mohammed, Qasim, Abbas and Ali Akber went to the battlefield and were martyred.
By Asr time Hussain(a.s) was left alone.
The time had come for Hussain(a.s) to go to the battlefield. Hussain(a.s) said KHUDA HAFIZ to everyone.
Hussain(a.s), with his sword ZULFIQAR on his waist, mounted ZULJANA, his horse.
Hussain(a.s) rode his horse to a small mount, he then called out loudly:
"IS THERE ANYONE TO HELP ME? IS THERE ANYONE TO HELP THE GRANDSON OF THE HOLY PROPHET?"
With this call, the grandson of the Holy Prophet, was giving one last chance to Yazid's men, the men who called themselves Muslims - the followers of the Holy Prophet(s.a.w.w).
Hypocrites! That's what Yazid's men were.
No one answered Hussain(a.s)'s last call. But Hussain(a.s) heard the sound of crying coming from his camp.
Hussain(a.s) turned around and returned to his tents.
"Zainab(sa), your brother is still alive. Why are you crying?"
"My brother Hussain(a.s), when you called out, "IS THERE ANYONE TO HELP ME", Ali Asghar (as)fell from his cradle."
Hussain(a.s) knew what Ali Asghar (as)was trying to say.
Hussain(a.s) went to Umme Rubab. Ali Asghar(as) was on her lap.
He was crying and Umme Rubab was trying to comfort him.
Hussain(a.s) picked up baby Ali Asghar (as)and whispered in his ear. Ali Asghar(as) stopped crying. He looked up at his father and smiled.
"Umme Rubab, I am taking Ali Asghar (as)to the battlefield with me so that I can get some water for him."
What did Hussain(a.s) whisper in Ali Asghar's ear? What made Ali Asghar(as) stop crying, and to smile?
Hussain(a.s) had whispered:
"My son, Ali Asghar(as), do you want to come to the battlefield with me? Asghar, do you want to show your strength on the battlefield? Come, let us go, my little Mujahid, my little soldier, Asghar(as)."
Umme Rubab changed Ali Asghar's clothes.
Imam Hussain(a.s) carried Ali Asghar (as)to the battlefield. It was very hot. Ali Asghar(as) was thirsty. Hussain(a.s) covered baby Ali Asghar(as) with his abaa, to protect him from the scorching sun.
Yazid's men saw Hussain(a.s) approaching with something in his hand.
"Look, Hussain(a.s) is coming with the Quran. He has no one left to help him. With the help of the Quran he is hoping to win."
Hussain(a.s) walked to Yazid's soldiers. By moving his abaa he uncovered Ali Asghar(as).
He held Ali Asghar(as) high with both his hands and said:
"O soldiers of Yazid, you feel I have offended you, but what has this little child done to you? His mother's milk has dried up. He has not had a drop of water for three days. He is dying of thirst. I beg you to give water to this innocent little child."
Not one of Yazid's soldiers brought any water for Ali Asghar(as).
Once more Imam Hussain(a.s) said:
Maybe you think that when you bring water for this child, I will drink it too. I will put this little child on the ground. You can come and give him water yourself."
Hussain(a.s) placed Ali Asghar (as)on the burning sand of Karbala.
Ali Asghar (as)lay quietly on the hot sand of Karbala. His turned his head and stared at Yazid's men.
No water came for Ali Asghar(as).
Hussain(a.s) picked up Ali Asghar(as) and said:
"My son Ali Asghar, my darling, you are too young to fight with a sword or a spear. My little Mujaheed, my little soldier, you are a grandson of Ali(as). Ali Asghar(as), fight your Jehad with your tongue."
Little Asghar (as)stuck his dry tongue out and moved it over his dry lips looking towards Yazid's men. He fought Jehad with his tongue.
The little soldier shot a strange arrow - his dry tongue.
It hit the hearts of Yazid's soldiers who had children of their own. They became restless. Some started crying.
They spoke amongst themselves:
"Hussain(a.s) is saying the truth. What has this child done to us? Why is he punished like this? Let us give him some water."
Umar Saad got worried that his soldiers will turn against him.
The little soldier's fight was very effective. Little Ali Asghar(as) was fighting Jehad his way.
Umar Saad ordered his best archer:
"Hurmullah! What are you waiting for? Silence the little child! Don't you know he is a grandson of Ali(as)? Hurry, shoot your arrow, before it is too late."
Hurmullah aimed an arrow at Ali Asghar(as). A small arrow for a little child? No! An arrow not with one head, not with two heads, but with three sharp heads.
Why? Why an arrow with three heads for such a small child?
My fellow Hussain(a.s)i! You will not be able to stop crying when you hear what happened next.
An arrow with three sharp heads flew across the desert of Karbala. It was heading for Ali Asghar(as). Hussain(a.s) saw the arrow coming. He covered Ali Asghar (as)with his arms.
The arrow reached Hussain(a.s).
The arrow went through Hussain(a.s)'s arm and lodged in the tiny neck of Ali Asghar(as).
Ali Asghar(as) died instantly.
Allaho Akber! Allaho Akber!
Poor Hussain(a.s), the poor father, who came to get water for his little child.
Instead of water, Ali Asghar(as) got an arrow in his neck.
What shall Hussain(a.s) do now? What shall Hussain(a.s) do now?
Hussain(a.s) gently pulled the arrow from Ali Asghar's (as)tiny neck.
My fellow Hussain(a.s)i, put your hand on your heart and imagine the scene - a father removing an arrow from his child's neck. What a tragic scene!
Blood gushed out from Ali Asghar's neck.
A voice came from the ground:
"No, Hussain(a.s), do not let Ali Asghar's blood fall to the ground, otherwise no crops will ever grow from this earth." Hussain(a.s) looked up at the sky.
A voice came from the sky:
"No Hussain(a.s), do not let the blood gush towards the sky, otherwise, no drop of rain will ever fall from this sky."
What shall Hussain(a.s) do now? What shall Hussain(a.s) do now?
The sky is refusing, the earth is not happy to accept Asghar's blood.
Poor Hussain(a.s) wiped Ali Asghar's blood on his face.
Hussain(a.s) started walking towards his tents.
He saw Ali Asghar's mother - Umme Rubab - standing by his tent. A mother anxiously waiting for her baby.
Hussain(a.s) thought:
"How can I face Umme Rubab? What shall I tell her? How can I tell her that her baby has been martyred without water? How? How?"
SEVEN TIMES, Hussain(a.s) went forward and then turned back,
Saying:
"INNA LILLAHE WA INNA ELAIHE RAJEOON."
He finally reached the tent where Umme Rubab was standing. "Rubab, come and take your Ali Asghar(as). Rubab, your little soldier has died for the sake of Allah."
Umme Rubab took her little child, Ali Asghar(as). She hugged him and cried her heart out.
"Come with me Rubab. Enough, Rubab, enough. Let us bury our baby Asghar(as)"
Hussain(a.s) and Umme Rubab walked to the back of the tents.
Hussain(a.s) dug a small grave with his sword, the Zulfiqar.
Umme Rubab placed Ali Asghar (as)in the small grave.
My fellow Hussain(a.s)i why should we not cry tonight? Why should we not do matam tonight?
Have we ever heard of any other father and mother digging a grave and burying their own child?
Where can Hussain(a.s) get water to sprinkle on Ali Asghar's grave? There is no water to sprinkle on Ali Asghar's(as) grave.
Hussain(a.s) sat by the grave crying.
Tears poured on the grave. Ali Asghar's grave was sprinkled with Hussain(a.s)'s tears.
INNA LILLAHE WA INNA ELAIHI RAJEOON!
WE ARE FROM GOD AND TO GOD WE RETURN!
SYEDA ZAINAB ABBAS.
Tiga doa untuk pasangan suami isteri ini diambil dari kitab Makarimul Akhlaq: 209.yang diperolehi dari sebuah laman web dari Indonesia.
Doa ini adalah daripada salah seorang cucu Rasulullah SAW iaitu Imam Ja'far Ash-Shadiq a.s., Putera Muhammad Al-Baqir bin Ali Zainal Abidin bin Al-Husein (a.s.) cucu Rasulullah SAW.
Ya Allah, dengan amanat-Mu kujadikan dia isteriku dan dengan kalimat-kalimat-Mu dihalalkan bagiku kehormatannya. Jika Kau tetapkan bagiku memiliki keturunan darinya, jadikan keturunanku keberkahan dan kemuliaan, dan jangan jadikan syaitan ikut serta dan mengambil bahagian di dalamnya
Allâhummarzuqnî alfahâ wa wuddahâ wa ridhâhâ bî, wa ardhinî bihâ, wajma` baynanâ biahsani ijjtimâ`in wa aysari'tilâfin, fainnaka tuhibbul halâla wa tukrihul harâm.
Ya Allah, kurniakan padaku kelembutan isteriku, kasih sayang dan ketulusannya, redhai aku bersamanya. Himpunkan kami dalam rumah tangga yang paling baik, penuh kasih sayang dan kebahagiaan, sesungguhnya Engkau mencintai yang halal dan membenci yang haram
Ya Allah, kurniakan padaku keturunan, dan jadikan ia anak yang bertakwa dan cerdas, tidak ada kelebihan dan kekurangan pada fizikalnya, dan jadikan kesudahannya pada kebaikan.
Sesungguhnya ilmu yang baik dan bermanfaat itu datang dari Allah SWT. Source: Read More
