One word that we didn't hear that we should have; heroism Do we love to hear of true nobel heroism more than sad tragedy? With karbala there was both as in nothing else

Such an open minded speech 👌.

There’s an interesting book by Syed Akbar Hyder called Reliving Karbala, that discusses the mourning rituals that emanates a unique south asian vernacular. As for your emphasis on how the importance has been given on the tragedy of Karbala and it’s intended psychological schema should not be surprising, as every culture and society throughout human history has etched a certain record in varied formats; the recent of which we see in the west is the VE day celebrations, poppy days etc. It’s sole purpose is to keep the flame burning, so to speak. We consider the events of Karbala as a vital flashpoint that needs to be remembered to make sense of the present and to prepare for the future. There is a whole philosophy behind this that has sustained the shia community and it’s scholarship.

Mashallah as always mufti Saab

Yes this can be found in many works of psychology and philosophy that deal with redemptive suffering and tragedy. The mourning actually began in a persianate and Arabic background as can be seen in mourning motifs stretching the Balkans to Bengal and beyond. The tragic stories in Greek mythology also come to mind. Indeed, Karbala is another narrative of this genre albeit the difference is how Muslims view their sacred history. It isn't to be reduced to the merely psychological, anthropological or a cultural artefact. Rather there are metaphysical and spiritual dimensions, a sense of the numinous and mysterious. No doubt, the aforementioned areas allow us to explicate the phenomena but not exhaust it of its spiritual and esoteric significance السلام عليك يا ابا عبدالله الحسين عليه السلام

When mufti says “what” sounds so desi!

OMG Hermano you look amazing! I do not need a house to live. I have to move to a gym to live in💪💪💪.

The human psyche can an be divided on a spectrum of masculinity and femininity where certain traits and characteristics sit at different positions along that spectrum. Shiaism is essentially a collective manifestation of the feminine face of Islam where there is far more emphasis on emotions, drama, love, cursing, crying, self-sabotage etc.

Good video brother but I would like to add that the tradition of weeping for imam Hussain (a) and the tragedy of Karbala originated from the Prophet Muhammad saww and this sunnah was revived by the great grandson of the Prophet Muhammad saww Imām Zayn ul Abideen (a) the sole surviving son of Imam Hussain (a)

Haq ya ali

Really brother? This is your take away from karbala? I really enjoy your talks but I would have thought you might actually talk about the events because let's face it most sunnis have no idea what happened at karbala. You basically likened imam Hussein to a character in Hindu religion. Sad day

@@wth1982 who is he to you? Without being sectarian if you can manage? My point is why not actually educate people about Imam Hussain as rather than dissecting this commemoration. If what our Shia brothers do is questionable then by all means bring an alternative perspective on the matter. I have great respect for Mufti Abu Layth. He is truly a breath of fresh air and it's not that I even fully disagree with his perspective. I was simply stating my dissatisfaction with the fact that there was no effort to elucidate the actual events of Karbala. I personally think there is a lot of wisdom in knowing the history of the progeny of our Prophet as. Who would have known his way better? Imam Hussain who was martyred because of his faith or Yazid who openly lived a life of debauchery and denounced Islam. Let's be real here. Put the sectarian bullsh aside for a moment and please make an effort to know our history. This is the problem in our society. Mufti has masterfully pointed out how blindly people have followed something just because someone else said it's true. Even to the degree that the overwhelming majority of Muslims have come to accept Muhammad saws as a pedophile. Please wake up.

Adam Zack well, this is a clip from one of his Q&A live sessions, so he probably didn't want to go into detail. You're also arguing to several points I haven't made (like comparing Yazid and Hussain [ra]???) , so I'm not sure how to respond to much of what you're saying here. You are literally arguing with a fictional version of the beliefs you assume I hold, or the knowledge of "our" history you assume I don't have. As for who Hussain (r.a.) is to me - a great Sahabi with a special blood relation to our Nabi (s.a.w.s), which he never tried to use to his advantage. His murder was unjust, but it doesn't change our beliefs regarding him, or others, a single bit - it was a historical event, which we should draw lesson from. Similar to other internecine conflicts in the Ummah, which preceded and followed it. Not something to be venerated on a yearly basis, and especially not in the manner the majority of Twelver Shi'i do.
