Message of Muharram.

Muharram is not only a sacred month in Islam but as well as it was considered sacred during the period of Ignorance (Jahilia). The warring tribes of Arabia used to conduct ceasefire during these months. Muharram is the first month of Hijry year, whereas January is the first month of Christian year. The difference is in front of us. We celebrate our own new year with suicide bombing, killing, destructions and hatred whereas the Christian year begins with peace pleasant feelings, gifts New Year wishes and love. So the difference is of hatred and love. Anything if well started it�s half done. So our own year not start in a right way, that is way we Muslim are everywhere defeated murdered and hatred in this world.

The process of disintegration not started recently, this is the very long and old story of destruction and down fall, which began in the period of third pious Caliph and still its own way to down fall. Having seen the life of Imam-e-Hussein�s its obviously becomes clear that in Islam there is no place of blood shed and destruction. Imam left the city of Medina because he knew that there would be blood shed if he not left these holly city, he didn�t take initiative in battle.
He sacrificed his own life and the life of his whole family but didn�t accept the sovereignty of the Yazid. So the greatest message arises here for whole Umma is that never accept any dishonest dictator in Islam because in Islam there is no room for any dishonest dictator, so our today Islamic world is full of dictators. The feelings of an ordinary man is shattered and depressed; the Imam never accepted and dishonest ruler, nor even injustices done by the rulers of the time, and sacrificed his own life for the cause of truth, sovereignty of Islam and also for the pure principle of Islam. That is way everybody say Islam rebirth after every muharram month.

So we should not have to tolerate any injustices, we should not have not to welcome dishonest rulers, dictators and also the disguised champion of Islam who use Islam as a source of benefit for their vested interest. It is the great responsibility of every Muslim in general and of every Muslim youth in particularly to learn lesson from this month and great event of the history to play its decisive role for the purification of our Islamic society and for the renaissance of true Islam, for the peace prosperity and well being of the whole Umma and the whole world.
