“I am proud to associate myself with millions of Muslim brothers and sisters all over the world in commemorating the Thirteen hundredth anniversary of Imam Husein supreme martyrdom.

The tragic story of Kerbala, after thirteen centuries is as fresh, as poignant and heart-breaking as on the day when the greatest saint of Islam was slain, but after thirteen centuries, the inspiration of Imam Hussain’s example still shines, in undimmed splendor, to guide countless seekers after truth and freedom.

He stands high above all conflicts and the challenge of time, the immortal symbol of Victory over wrong and unrighteousness. In the words of our late friend and leader Mowlana Maohmed Ali Jauhar:”

‘Qat-le Hussain Asl me Mar-ge Yazeed hai

Islam Zinda hota hai har Kerbala ke bad’
