We don’t have many supplications like the Dua ‘Arafa, wherein there is a touching submission, an amazing order of seeking assistance from the Almighty God while seeing oneself as perishable before the Sacred Divine Entity.

Hawzah News AgencyThe brilliant and lofty character of Imam Hussain (as) has two aspects: one is the aspect which includes Jihad, martyrdom, and the storm he launched historically, still powerful with all the blessings it brought that you are familiar with. The other aspect involves that of spirituality and mysticism, which is particularly manifested, in an amazing manner, in Dua ‘Arafa. We don’t have many supplications like the Dua ‘Arafa, wherein there is a touching submission, an amazing order of seeking assistance from the Almighty God while seeing oneself as perishable before the Sacred Divine Entity. It is an amazing supplication.


It is in this moment of spirituality, mysticism, submission and getting lost in God--disappearing in the Beloved and not seeing oneself before the Will of the Divine Entity--that has created the everlasting event of Ashura with such glory and nobility. In other words, it is the first aspect—of jihad and martyrdom—which is the result or creation of the second aspect: spirituality and mysticism. There are many people who are believers and strive for the sake of God, and they achieve martyrdom, too—it is martyrdom, nothing less than that. However, there is a type of martyrdom which is more strongly driven from a great spirit of faith; a burning heart with a flaming spirit, restless on the path of God and the Lord’s mercy, buried within the Divine One and His attributes: such form of jihad (endeavor) contains a unique zest. It grants an exceptional effect on the spiritual form.
