Hawzah News Agency- This year, Islamic Iran—the nation of Imam Hussein and the devoted lovers of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT)—witnessed the hands of hypocrisy and hatred set fire to Hussaini mourning tents and congregations. Yet the nation knew full well that these flames only serve to polish their faith. As inscribed upon the Divine Tablet:
"They intend to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it." (Quran 61:8)
Amid the onslaught of the Umayyads and the Shimmers of the age, the free men and women of the Iranian land, armed with Hussaini insight, stood like Malek Ashtar, Ammar, Hojr ibn Adi, Habib, Muslim, Zuhair, Nafe', and Abbas—manfully defending the sanctity of the Ahl al-Bayt and the shrine of Shia Iran.
At a critical juncture, Iranians raised the phoenix of Resistance and etched their insight onto the pages of history. They know that Ashura is not an event confined to the geography of Karbala, but a battle between Truth and Falsehood stretching across the expanse of history.
From the ashes of the tents of Imam Sajjad (PBUH) and Lady Zainab (SA) to the rubble of the savage US-Zionist strikes on the home of the martyred Imam Khamenei—may his lofty station be exalted—a crimson trajectory has been traced, so that this time, the steadfastness of the Shia shall be made manifest and sovereign before the world.
We have learned that "Every day is Ashura" means that every moment presents a choice: lingering in the shadow of humiliation or standing upon the peak of honor.
The line between Truth and Falsehood is clearer today than ever before; we are the inheritors of those very tents that were burned but never fell. They burn, and we rise ever more resolute.
And the final word belongs to the martyred Imam, spoken at the gathering place of Islam's warriors at the Dokuheh garrison: "Imam Hussein declared, 'One like me shall never pledge allegiance to one like him.' Imam Hussein (PBUH) must remain for eternity the banner of Truth; the banner of Truth cannot stand in the ranks of Falsehood nor assume its color."
