So his question is, I'm a new Muslim.
My question is why don't we commemorate the
martyrdom of of Hussein alaihis salam? As Sunnis,
shouldn't we be concerned
that within 50 years of the prophets of
death, his grandson was murdered. It seems like
we should commemorate
his martyrdom too. Yes. We should. I I
agree. We should commemorate his martyrdom.
We should remember him.
We should constantly
be praising
the. And, of course, Imam al Hussein
is, as the questioner said, a grandson of
the prophet
not only that, he's a he's a companion
of the prophet
So a lot of the times I think,
people get caught up in emotion. They get
caught up in, again, this kind of divisive
rhetoric.
So there are people who I mean, I've
I've quoted
I've quoted hadith in our books
during the chutba
praising.
And people will come up to me and
say, are you a are you a shiri?
And they don't know I'm from Iran because
of the that would be mean, if they
knew I was an Iranian, they would
assume yours. But they don't know anything about
me. Right?
So are you I said, why do you
think I'm a Shi'i? You could you said
this about Imam Hassan. I said that this
hadith is an. This hadith is a. This
hadith is a. This had what are you
talking about? Oh, I've never heard this hadith.
You know, that's that's a shame.
You know? So I think people for the
sake of not
being labeled a certain thing are not being
true to their tradition.
You know? And that's that's unfortunate.
You know?
But that we should we should definitely, you
know, when you say commemorate his martyrdom,
you
know, there there's certain practices that our Shia
brethren do to commemorate the the martyrdom that
are not acceptable according to
the Sunni urdama.
Okay. So there's different ways. As as I
said in my lecture, there's different ways in
which we commemorate Athan Beit.
There's different ways in which in which different
sunnis,
commemorate the molid of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam. Everyone believes in the molid of the
prophet. Molid means he was born. Right? Everyone
believed. You have to believe that. And everyone
has to show joy. They have to have
joy in their hearts that the prophet was
born. You have to.
But it doesn't mean you have to go
to a gathering
and listen to poetry about the policy. You
can if you want. You don't have to.
Right?
So
we commemorate Imam Hussain in different ways.
The Dean is
vast.
Right?
