Muslims Remember Imam Hussain’s Martyrdom, But Don’t Remember His Birth Day: A unique effort by the Safeguarding Peace Committee to commemorate Imam Hussain’s birth day.
KOLKATA: The martyrdom of Imam Hussain has given such life to Islam that today the followers of Islam are spread in every corner of the world but it is a pity that people always remember the martyrdom of Imam Hussain but they do not remember that Nawasa Nabi was born on which date and in which month? To make the world aware of Imam Hussain’s birthday and to inspire people with his teachings, the Safeguard of Peace Committee would take out a tram from Kolkata’s Nonnapokar Tram Depot on the 3rd of the Islamic month of Sha’ban every year on the occasion of Imam Hussain’s birthday like every year, this year too, the Safeguarding Peace Committee started the tram journey from Nonapukkar Tram Depot on the occasion of Imam Hussain’s birthday.
The tram was very beautifully decorated. On which the lovers of Imam Hussain were riding. They included people of all religions. The tram traveled from Nonnapokor Tram Depot to Guriya Haat and then to College Street. Meanwhile, sharbat was distributed and efforts were made to convey the message of humanity of Imam Hussain to the people.
On this occasion, Maulana Syed Maher Abbas Rizvi said that it is a pity that today most of the people are not aware of the birth anniversary of Imam Hussain. Scholars are also guilty of this. He said that by serving people, Imam Hussain showed the world that one can become a good person in any case. Muhammad Feroze of the Safeguarding Peace Committee said that the whole world knows about the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, but very few people know about his life. Whereas to know martyrdom, it is necessary to know birth. That is why we celebrate the birth anniversary of Imam Hussain (AS) in a different way every year. So that people remember Imam Hussain’s birthday.
