Remember Hussain

An inspiring video. The description says: This is a tribute to Imam Hussain and an invitation to everyone in the world to stand up for truth and justice and to strive together to make our world a better place.



Muharram

More than 13 hundred years have passed since ...
Imam Hussain
the grandson of the Prophet Mohammad(pbuh)
gave the great sacrifice, on the plains of Karbala
in the month of Muharram,
for
God
Islam
Truth and Justice
Human Dignity
for a Better World

Hussain challenged the tyranny and corruption of the ruler
He stood up for justice and truth
His goal was to mark a clear distinction
between
the true Islam on the one hand
and the false ideologies of fatalism and oppression on the other

Hussain sacrificed everything he had...
his loved ones
his dear friends
his own life...

He was inhumanely killed
his body was torn
the oppressors tried everything possible
to disgrace him
to defeat his will
to kill him

but...
he did not die
even after so many years have passed
because...
his message is still alive
Islam is still alive

Hussain is alive in the hearts of millions of mourners
Hussain is alive in the cries for truth and justice
Hussain is alive in the struggles of the oppressed people
every day, everywhere...

Each year Muharram comes with an invitation:

Remember Hussain
Remember his great sacrifice
Remember what he stood for
Spread his message
Inspire hearts and minds
And strive for a better world.
