Imam Hussein (AS) and his companions detached themselves totally from everything except the love of God and jihad in His way. They abandoned all worldly obstacles to become free to fly in the sky of divine salvation. That’s why they succeeded to fight the enemies of God valiantly to the last drop of their blood. This way, they became the role model of freedom and bravery throughout history.

One of the elements that has perpetuated the epic of Ashura is the fact that Imam Hussein (AS) sought to create reform in the Islamic society and the Ummah of his grandfather, Prophet Mohammad (SAWA). But, any reform will be ineffective without revival of values and fighting anti-values. This fact is manifested in Islam in the form of an obligatory act, namely bidding what is right and forbidding what is wrong; or inviting toward virtues and preventing from vices.

It is obvious that one of the fundamental goals of the divine messengers was to fight corrupt and oppressive ruling systems of their time. They tried to take measures to reform corruption and create a new system. The divine messengers had no other choice but to struggle against those elements of corruption and oppression as they were the source of evil on earth.

One of the outstanding characteristics of every person is to attain the degree of freedom; freedom to fly in the sky of spirituality and humanity apart from the attachments and luxuries of this transient world. This freedom is different from liberalism which is the dominant thought in the West and mostly pertains to unbridled freedom of indulgence in every abominable act just to have pleasure. No doubt Imam Hussein (PBUH) and his loyal companions were the absolute symbols of freedom.

One of the mysteries of Ashura’s durability is that it does not belong to a certain race, nationality, religion and so on. Its addressee is every free-spirited individual or the entire mankind. This can be obviously seen in the greatest ever gathering of human beings with scores of millions of people marching during Araba’een towards the holy shrine of Imam Hussein (PBUH) in Karbala.
