Today is
the 10 Muharam ul haram (first lunar month of Islamic Calendar) and this day is
the day which reminds the world to speak the truth, never succumb before evil
persons, oppressors, and despotic souls, though one has to sacrifice one's
life.
Stand by
the truth and Ibn e Ali (as) Imam Hussain (as) was martyred on this day and
Muslims celebrate this day with love and adoration to remind the martyrdom of
72 martyrs including infants in the Karwan of Imam Hussain.
May their
souls rest in an eternal peace and those all be remain at peace as well, who
are celebrating the day being faithful today all over the world

Following are the quotes of Imam Hussain; hope these are useful
for the mankind of the world:
I am not
taking up arms in order to make merry, or be ecstatic over what I possess. I am
not making mischief, nor exercising oppression. But I am ready to fight for the
sole goal of seeking reform of the ummah of my grandfather, the Prophet of
Allah (saw). I want to enjoin good and forbid evil and guide the affairs of the
people as my grandfather, and my father, Ali Bin Abi Talib (as), were
doing
Person,
who ignores worldly wealth irrespective of possessor thereof, gathers highest
respect
Beware of
your apologies; for a true believer does not sin and does not have to
apologize, whereas the hypocrite commits sins every day and apologizes everyday
Neighborhood
is best kind of kinship

others stands for goodness at heart
Practice
brings experience and experience enhances the intellect
Hospitality
promotes worship
Cordiality
proves wisdom
O Son of
Adam! Your life extends over days, so that passing of every day shortens your
life
Do not be
aggressive towards a person who has nobody to defend against u except Allah
Do not
act in a manner that sequels an apology .It is not the practice of a man of

person eradicates sorrow & grief sequel to calamities with strength of his
will & utilizes his reason for solving his difficulties
A person
not trapped in chains of wish & desire & contented with what Allah has
bestowed on him, is wealthy in true sense

is a sufficient teacher and old age a sufficient Warner
The
biggest pardoner is he who forgives in spite of being strong enough to
retaliate
A man’s
grace lies in independence from other people
Remember!
Your souls have no value less than the paradise; do not sell them cheaper
A
person happy over worldly belongings pleases himself with nothing but trifles
Being
thankful for what u have already had, paves way for future blessing from Allah
Almighty
Allah brings insult on a tyrant, makes him a victim of His displeasure &
will depute on him bigger tyrant to impose on him disgrace & insult
Do not
say a word, which may make you repent and force you to make excuse
A man’s
merit lies in not interfering with what he is not concerned with

like medicine; a small dose of which cures and excess kills the patient

virtue one can enslave the free
Greatness
lies in the nobility of aspiration and not in the decaying bones of ancestors
Silence
is graceful
Keep your
tongue tied. Excellence lies in obliging others
Tolerance

When you
have to depart from this world and have to meet death (eventually), then why
wish delay (why feel nervous about death)
Kind
treatment towards relatives is a virtue while true friendship is a blessing
Pride is
undesirable attitude & impetuosity is stupidity

efforts to achieve excellence & proceed to earn pious living
It is
blessing on u from Allah if somebody begs of u something with humility
Most
generous is he who obliges a person expecting favor
He who is
greedy is disgraced; he who discloses his hardship will always be humiliated;
he who has no control over his tongue will often have to face discomfort
It is
better to die gracefully than to live in insult
Do not
talk about anything not useful for you; it is possible mention of such a thing
may lead you to sorrow & repentance
Wisdom is
the noblest heritage
Theoretical
and practical knowledge are the best signs of distinction
Avoid
speaking until there is reasonable occasion; those who enter into useless talk,
even if expressing truth, are found reprehensible
Avarice
is disgrace; cowardice is a defect; poverty often disables an intelligent man
from arguing his case
A poor
man is a stranger in his own town; misfortune and helplessness are calamities;
patience is a kind of bravery
Deep
thinking will present the clearest picture of every problem
Do not be
cause of breach of trust by injuring confidence of others
Cheerfulness
is the key to friendship
Keeping
secret is a sacred trust
A
conceited and self-admiring person is disliked by others
Self-importance
leads to indignity
Never
wish to have a return better than your action
Beggar
stakes his prestige by begging. Do not stain your personality by refusing him
Man at
fault is always worried & in chaos
Charity
and alms are the best remedy for ailments and calamities
