Imamia Mission UK
Muharram-ul-Haraam 2009
Every Day is Ashura, Every Land is Kerbala
Muharram, the first month of Islamic calendar, reminds us every year of the gallant and
unprecedented struggle of Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S) and his companions against the forces of
evil and corruption. It also reminds us, in equal measure, of the need to continue the noble and
chosen mission of Imam Hussain (A.S) in today’s age when the forces of evil are out in force to
stop the march of the followers of Ahle-Bait and their teachings. This holy month strengthens
our resolve and serves to renew our commitment to steadfastly follow the path of truth set by
Imam Hussain (A.S) and his followers in the battle of Kerbala, on the day of Ashura.
Muharram makes us aware of those elements, then and now, who attempted to destroy Islam,
the Holy Prophet’s family and what that they stood for – and those who stood in silence. Islamic
world needs the spirit of Ashura, more urgently than ever before!
“You have more forces at your disposal today than Imam Hussain (upon whom be peace)
did, who resisted and struggled with his limited forces until he was killed. If (God forbid)
he had been a weak, apathetic and selfish person, he could have come up with some
excuse for himself and remained silent. His enemies would have been only too happy for
him to remain silent so that they could attain their vile goals, and they were afraid of his
rebelling.” (Ayyatollah Khomeini on the Lord of the Martyrs)”
