Brief Sayings of the Imam Hussain

Brief Sayings of the Imam Hussain (A.S.)

1. Imam Hussain (A.S.) said on the day of Ashoora: "People are the servants of the World and touch the religion by their tongues. Till such time that they know that religion does not carry any harm for them, they would move and spin around it. But when the test comes then the real religious ones are (to be seen) actually very few in number."

2. Imam Hussain (A.S.) told his son Imam Zain ul Abidin: "Avoid being cruel to anybody who does not have any helper except God."

3. During fare well to his son on Ashoora day he said: "Oh my son do not weep, do not shed tears on my leaving, your distress and calamity does not come to an end. But that will be the beginning of your discomforts, agonies and grief's. Be strong, because God is your supporter. Beware, after I pass away, do not say a word before the enemy so that your worth comes down."

4. Worst of the people is the one who gives (surrenders) his dooms day for his world (material gains).

5. Do not perform any good work for the sake of people's praise and do not abandon it for fear of shame.

6. Those who worship and adore God do not worship others.

7. Whatever my brother Hassan (A.S.) did during his life was upon the command and order of God. And that which I do is also upon the order of God.

8. Do not say a word, which may make you repent and force you to make excuse.
