The Life of Imam Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ
abode! The loneliness, dread, and darkness of the grave! Ah! The grave will destroy my beauty, all strength and power will vanish, my eyes will melt and flow away, flesh will fall off. Ah! This beautiful body of mine will be mingled with the soil, and then, on the Day of Judgment, I must rise and appear before Allah Almighty and give accountability for my deeds.
In this manner, let us make it a habit to visit graveyards for reflection and admonition. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه! The rust of the heart will be removed, hatred for sins will be gained, and a mindset for performing good deeds will be formed.
May Allah Almighty grant us all the ability to act.
اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ
A sermon by the Imam of high status
Finally, let us listen to a lesson-filled sermon by the Sayyidunā Imam Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ: As mentioned in Tārīkh Ibn ꜤAsākir, on the morning of 10th Muḥarram, the day of Karbala, Imam Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, delivered a sermon, saying:
O servants of Allah! Fear Allah Almighty! And beware of this world! Indeed, if anyone were to live forever in this world, then certainly the Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام would have remained forever. However, Allah Almighty created this world for trial, and all its inhabitants are destined for annihilation. The new things of this world are destined to become old, its bounties are to cease, its joys are to end. Therefore, prepare your provisions for the journey! Indeed, the best provision for the journey is piety. Fear Allah Almighty, so that you may be successful![1]
