Ready?

This may sound very over dramatic to people but after watching Mukhtar Nameh(The Mukhtar Series) i have literally gotten goose bumps and a very unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach. Watching the events of that time in live pictures have really brought the message home for me.

We think we have loyalty to Alhulbayt(s.a) and would be willing to sacrifice our lives for them BUT how true is that? Looking at the series when the loyalist of people started questioning the actions of Imam(a.s), when people easily sold their eeman for gold, for security...can we say we have enough strength of eeman to not fall in these traps. When the call is made to choose the right side would we be able to give up the comfort of our house, be willing to sacrifice our lives? Do we have enough strength to go against the majority and even if the future looks bleak be ready to fight for the truth.

It's easy to say Al Ajal Ya Imam(ajtf) or Labbayk Ya Hussain(a.s) BUT do we truly mean it ?! The series has really made me realize how weak a person is, how easy it is to fall prey to the "whispering of the Satan"!

What can we do...how can we strengthen ourselves?! How can we ever be sure we will choose the right path when the push comes to a shove? Is that why Ghaybat doesn't end? Are our Al Ajal Ya Imam(ajtf) not from our heart...are we also like the weak willed people shown in this series?!

Ya Allah(swt) protect us...*cry*...strengthen our faith...Ameen...:(

  1. The movie gave me goose bumps as well , loved their beautiful dialogues and cried while watching each and every episode ... the story of mokhtar makes you really question your eman and reflect yourself , but doesn't fail a single moment to inspire you ... I hope we won't miss the caravan of Love and that we can strengthen ourselves like mokhtar ... this guy in the video describes it beautiful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI_xMOGT8co&feature=player_embedded ,

    ''Today, I will go out to fight hypocrisy. It is the strongest enemy of religion (Islam). Hypocrisy appeared in the field within a religious and pious shape. Hypocrisy like a Coin which wrote the name of Allah on one side, and the image of Satan on the other side. Public see the name of Allah, people of knowledge see Satan."
