An enlightening extract from the Friday Sermon delivered on 10th December 2010 by Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul-Masih V (aba). In this excerpt, Beloved Huzoor provides a deep spiritual commentary on the tragedy of Karbala and the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain (ra), his family, and companions. He explains that this tragic event was historically a continuation of the martyrdom of Hazrat Usman (ra). Beloved Huzoor highlights how a lack of Taqwah (fear of God) and prioritising personal or worldly interest over faith leads a society toward extreme cruelties, drawing a parallel to the modern-day persecution faced by those who profess the Kalima.
