Bismihi Ta'ala
Yoon to Muharram Islami saal kaa pahlaa maheenaa hai jo chaand ke hisaab se chaltaa hai. Jise hijri saal bhee kahte hain. Lekin aaj Muharram sirf ek maheene kaa naam naheen rah gayaa hai balki aaj Muharram naam hai ek aandolan kaa, bhrashtaachaar ke khilaaf aandolan, atyaachaar ke khilaaf aandolan, naa insaafi ke khilaaf aandolan, buraaiyon ke khilaaf aandolan. Duniyaa ke saare calendar naye saal ke saath khaushiyon kaa paighaam le kar aate hain lekin sirf ek Islami calendar aisaa hotaa hai jo naye saal ke saath gham kaa paighaam le kar aataa hai. Yah gham vo gham hai jo sote hue insaan ko jhinjhorhtaa hai, dil ke zakhmon par marham rakhtaa hai, mazloomon ke andar ummeed kee kiran paidaa kartaa hai aur zaalim ke khilaaf aavaaz uthaane kaa hausalaa detaa hai. Aaj se taqreeban 1400 saal pahle kee baat hai, san 61 hijri ke Muharram kaa maheenaa thaa, jab Hazrat Muhammad (s) ke navaase, Imaam Husain (a) ko unke 72 saathiyon ke saath bahut bedardi se Karbala, Iraq ke bayaabaan men, zaalim Yazeedi fauj ne shaheed kar diyaa tha. Yazeed ek zaalim baadshaah tha. Uski hukoomat sirf Arab deshon par hi naheen thee balki Iran, Iraq, Yamen, Syria yahaan tak ki Africa, Russia aur Europe vaghaira ke kuchh hisson par bhi thee. Agar yah kahaa jaye ki use us zamaane kaa superpower samjhaa jaataa thaa to ghalat naheen hogaa. Syria jise Shaam bhi kahte hain, uski raajdhani thi. Yazeed mazhab ke naam par buree baaten phailaanaa chaahtaa thaa. Apni ayyaashi aur zulm o sitam ko Islam kaa naam denaa chaahtaa thaa. Lekin use maaloom thaa ki voh apane is iraade ko pooraa karane men tab tak kaamiyaab naheen ho saktaa jab tak Hazrat Muhammad (s) ke navaase Imaam Husain (a) uskaa samarthan na karen. Yah sonch kar usne aadesh diyaa ki Imaam Husain (a) se samarthan liyaa jaye aur agar inkaar karen to unhen qatl kar diyaa jaaye. Yazeed kee is taanaa shaahee ke khilaaf koii kharhe hone kee himmat naheen kar rahaa thaa. Aise men Imaam Husain apne 72 saathiyon ke saath uth kharhe hue aur Yazeed ko apne naajaayez maqsad men kaamiyaab naheen hone diyaa. Imaam Husain (a) ke saathiyon ne unkaa saath diyaa aur yazeedee fauj ke saamane dat kar kharhe ho gaye. Yahaan tak ki 10 Muharram ko jise aashooraa bhee kahte hain, Imaam Husain (a) aur unke saathiyon ne shahaadat ko gale lagaa liyaa. Zaalim Yazeediyon ne unkaa paanee tak band kar diyaa thaa. Usne sirf naujavaanon ko hee shaheed naheen kiyaa balki boorhon ko bhee shaheed kiyaa. Yahaan tak ki chhah maheene ke bachche Ali Asghar ko bhee apane baap kee god men teer kaa nishaanaa banaa diyaa. Jang ke khatm hone ke baad Yazeedee fauj ne aurton, bachchon aur Imaam ke ek beemaar bete ko qaidee banaa kar Yazeed ke paas Shaam bhej diyaa, jahaan unhen qaidkhaane men sakhtiyaan jhelnee parheen. Lekin in qaidiyon ne tamaam sakhtiyon ke baavajood haar naheen maanee aur Imaam kaa sandesh duniyaa tak pahunchaayaa. Imaam Husain (a) shaayad isee liye auraton aur bachchon ko bhee saath laaye the. Imaam Husain (a) kee yah qurbaanee naa insaafee ko khatm karane ke liye thee. Isee liye har saal Muharram men is qurbaanee kee yaad sirf musalamaan hee naheen manaate balki har voh insaan manaataa hai jo insaaf pasand hai chaahe uskaa taalluq jis dharm aur jis mazhab se ho. Jab kabhee ham duniyaa men aatankvaad, bhrashtaachaar aur zulm dekhen aur apane aap ko akelaa mahsoos karen to Karbala ke paighaam ko yaad karen. Jo hame yaad dilaataa hai ki agar zulm ke khilaaf muqaable men akele ho yaa taadaad men kam ho to thak kar ghar men na baith jaanaa. Sachchaaii kee raah men agar kadam aage barhaaoge to yaad rakho ki jeet hameshaa sachchaaii kee hee hogee. Phir chaahe us sachchaaii ke liye tumhen apnee jaan kyon na denee parhe. Itihaas gavaah hai ki zaalim Yazeed saare zulm karne ke baad bhee apane maqsad men kaamiyaab naheen ho sakaa aur haar gayaa lekin Imaam Husain (a) jaan de ke bhee jeet gaye. Kyonki voh zulm ke aage naheen jhuke aur insaaniyat ko bachaa liyaa.
