Indeed, it is rightly said by Imam Khomeini that, "Anyone who tries to sow hatred between Shia and Sunnis is neither a Shia nor a Sunni, he is an agent of the oppressive."
It is firmly due to these agents of oppression that today SHIAPHOBIA came into existence.
SHIAPHOBIA? WHAT IS IT?
-It is the HATRED and VIOLENCE directed against Shia Muslims because of their religious beliefs.
-Today, Shias in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bahrain, Bangladesh and in many other countries are being restricted from practising their traditions. Even worse, Shias are butchered(beheaded), killed mercilessly through bombings and brutally massacred.
-My Dear Muslims! It is high time now!
The Holy Quran says:
إِنَّمٌا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللٌّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
Translation-Without doubt the believers are brothers of one another so then make peace and harmony between your brothers and have consciousness of Allah so that maybe He will show you mercy. (49:10)Yes, such kind of BROTHERHOOD is observed every year for ARBA'EEN.
WHAT IS ARBA'EEN?
-It translates to forty(forteith day). It is said that Arba'een is the day on which Hussain's family returned to the land of Karbala to properly bid farewell to them.
-In commemorating Imam Hussain's martyrdom millions WALK every year from Najaf-Ul-Ashraf to Karbala-e-Moallah.(around 90 km for 3-4 days)THE WALK OF HEAVEN!MILLIONS? REALLY? WHO JOINS THIS WALK?
-You will be surprised to know that people from across the world, irrespective of their cultures:be it a Muslim, Christian, Jew, Hindu joins this walk. There's one thing in common in all these people-THE LOVE FOR IMAM HUSSAIN(AS).
