Dotting the I’S & Crossing the T’S
In Ashuraa, there is an inevitable speech
Written by Nasser Kandil,
The thing which deserves a remembrance of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, away from the religious aspect which is being handled by the merited people who talk about religious affairs, and away from the ceremonial emotional nature of the followers and fans, that he is a rare figure in the history concerning the attitude, which led to his death in this dramatic way, and which becomes a fact that we can live and moralize in the life after, through transforming the death into an outrageous creative energy that is inherited through generations. The story of the biography of Imam Al-Hussein has a rare influence after the death of a leading, regional political intellectual figure; it is still alive and has a growing effect in stirring the emotions and the souls for more than thousand years.
Any contemporary historian can not separate between the biography of Imam Al-Hussein and the intellectual environment of establishing contemporary historical movements; the Iranian Revolution and the Islamic Resistance. The Martyrdom of Imam Al-Hussein through defending on the right, has established an approach to agitate thousands of the young people who have made the victory of the revolution in Iran, and who have constituted the decisive force for the triumph of the resistance in Lebanon. As a result of these two victories and their approaches, the two achievements have been deep-rooted, so Iran and the resistance have become the most effective presence in making the strategic balances in the Middle East, since they have the big favor in announcing the end of the Israel’ s power legend, and the plan of the American domination, and consequently , the eras of Wehhabism of Saudi Arabia, the Ottoman of Turkey, and the Brotherhood of Qatar, through which the plans of the American domination have constituted from, in the region. All of these have happened because the two achievements do not satisfy with the emotional force which leads the willingness to sacrifice, but also because they have succeeded in expressing the national outlook of the history of the region’s people and their rights on one hand, and because they have depended on the knowledge and the modernity in the war and politics industry on the other hand.
The presence of ISIL considers the most important test that faces these two victories, it is not mere a division and fragmentation plan, as when the native inhabitants of the southern of Sudan, or the native inhabitants of Kurdistan of Iraq have moved towards the secession and have established an entity, which participated in fragmenting the region on an ethnic or religious basis, although it expressed the choice of the native inhabitants, but ISIL is different, it is not a mere a strife plan or a division according to sects, but it is a foreign settlement entity plan for occupying the land of the Levant and establishing the state of the ( divine promise ) for the account of the ( Chosen people of God ) in the (Land Of Pledge), in addition, gathering the settlers from all over the world on the basis of the supposed religious belief, they abandon the native inhabitants and kill them as the pioneers of America of the Europeans had done against the American Indians, and as the pioneers of southern of Africa had done against the Negro, and the coming Jews to Palestine against their inhabitants before and who have settled in their place, accompanied with many of those who have emigrated from the Muslim countries to the West, the returners to the Caliphate, and those who have attracted or frightened towards / from the extremism and the savagery.
The source of challenge is that Iran and the resistance through their demographic and geographical location have the ability to eradicate the new settlement entity, in order to prove the strategic outlook of their victories, it is not hidden the magnitude of the relationship between emerging of this entity and the open war from the West against the growing of Iran and the triumph of the resistance, just as how the plan of the settlement entity of the Jews in Palestine has succeeded in terminating the plan of the Arab nationalism, it is intended for the new settlement entity to fall the new strategic balance, which has put Israel, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia away from the major players.
The link between this challenge and Imam Al-Hussein’s biography is that the victory upon the foreign settlement plan today, depends on the progress of the resistance’s plan as a plan that is capable of separating between the battle with this entity, which depends on the sectarian religious issue and the people of doctrines whom the entity has wanted to agitate them against the resistance and its forces, so the renewal dare understanding of the biography of Imam Al-Hussein has a big role in achieving this task.
The biography of Al-Hussein is sequel to the biography of Imam Ali; the issue starts from an understanding in which there is no compliance. Clearly, the story of Imam Ali was not any more a competition with his predecessors of the caliphs on the pledge, since he granted it for Abu Bakr and Omar. There is no one of the followers of Imam Ali and Imam AL-Hussein who can appoint himself and who is wiser or saner than both of them in opening a new section about the merit. It is not possible among the followers of Imam Al-Hussein to find one who considers the understanding of Al-Hasan a questionable issue. The popular understanding among the majority of Sunnis and Shiites is superficial and instinctive, it needs a brave confrontation, there were no Sunnis or Shiites in the era of Imam Ali and Imam Al-Hussein. The doctrines were founded with Imam Jafar Al-Sadik, whose his students have founded the four doctrines of Al-Sunnah, they did not ask for the caliphate as their master did, because the imamate is different from the succession, and the criterion of the relationship between the Imam and the successor, i.e. the ruler, is the justice and not the religion or the devoutness. The alleged dispute between Sunnis and Shiites is ideological, it is not known by most of the followers of the doctrines, which their founders are still students who respect their master Jafar Sadik, and who obtained enlightenment according to his knowledge and his doctrine. Moreover, there is no place at Imam Ali and Imam Al-Hussein for those who attacked the companions of the prophet and his wives, and who re-evaluated the behavior of the Imams themselves and the behavior of the prophet himself.
The tribalism of the Sunnis and Shiites dispute is emergency, it has no relation with the martyrdom of Imam Al-Hussein, who has honored by the people of Egypt, Morocco, Aleppo, Damascus, Baghdad, and Samarra, who are of the inveterate Sunnis, they have honored his sister Zainab as well. The tribalism has been founded historically by the Ottomans, since the Omayyad and the Abbasids rules have faced the rejection of the Sunnis scholars before the Shiites ones, they have considered them royal rules, where there is no speech about the pledge of a successor, while the Turkish Ottomans have remerged the political with the religious, after they have suppressed, imprisoned, and killed everyone who opposed the pledge of their caliph among the Sunnis scholars, they have announced the caliphate and considered it a base for a sectarian war against Shiites, in order to provoke a sectarian tribalism issue that separates among the ranks of the Muslim Arabs, and takes from them followers who can opledge allegiance to Turanian and the Seljuke occupation which came in the name of the caliphate. The history witnessed that those who rebelled and resisted this occupation were leaders of Sunni doctrines and their scholars and were at the head of the resistance of the Ottoman occupation, the same as the churches of the East, which were a title of the confrontation with the foreigners’ campaigns which were named the Crusades.
The Wahhabism which is the outcome of the Britain intelligence has revived the doctrinal tribalism, just to impose a place among the Sunnis through a dual service which was discovered by fighters and intellectuals from the Hijaz, like the martyr Nasser Al- Saeed, between the entity of Saud Family in the Arabian Peninsula and the Zionist entity of the Jews in Palestine. Today with the retreat of the Zionist and Saudi plans. ISIL’s plan has proceeded by combining between these two plans. It is an ideological settlement entity for a foreign occupation, and a plan for a sectarian strife that takes from the Shiites- Sunnis tribalism coverage for it, it kills the Sunnis whom it claims that it represents in hundreds and thousands as the situation of the clans of Albunemr in Anbar of Iraq.
In the remembrance of Ashuraa, the revolution of Imam Al-Hussein is renewing by transcending the force of blood in achieving victory over the sword, it is the force of mind in achieving victory over the instinct. This is the most important challenge to ensure the triumph in the new war.
