Karbala: A Manifestation of Resistance on the Path of Truth, Says Pakistani Scholar

Karachi – In a powerful address marking the first ten days of Muharram, Hujjat-ul-Islam Shobeir Hassan Maysami, Secretary General of the Shia Ulema Council of Pakistan, emphasized that the tragedy of Karbala remains a timeless symbol of resistance against tyranny and injustice.

Hawzah News Agency- Speaking during a lecture series titled “The Religion of Muhammad (PBUH)” at the Quran Defense Center in Karachi, Maysami highlighted the enduring relevance of Ashura’s message, stating:

“The incident of Karbala teaches us that even in the face of overwhelming oppression and tyranny, one must never retreat when standing for the truth.”

A Call to the Oppressed: Stand for Your Rights

He pointed out that in today’s world, the struggle for individual, social, and political rights is often suppressed by those in power.

“Karbala sends a clear message to the oppressed and marginalized across the globe: Honor and victory belong to those who courageously stand for justice.”

The True Spirit of Muhammadan Islam

Maysami described the uprising of Imam Hussein (AS) and his loyal companions as the living embodiment of the true essence of Islam — a faith rooted in perseverance, sacrifice, patience, and devotion.

“Imam Hussein (AS) and his companions chose martyrdom not for personal gain, but to uphold the word of monotheism and preserve the dignity of Islam.”

A Timeless Model for Justice and Dignity

He concluded by honoring the sacrifice of the martyrs of Karbala, declaring that their blood revived the highest values of Islam and provided an eternal example for future generations:

“Their stand continues to inspire all freedom-seeking people in the fight for truth, justice, and human dignity — a legacy that will never fade.”
