Lessons of Karbala

The day of 'Shahadat-e-Karbala' on the 10th of Muharram is the great ''Martyrdom Day'' of the Muslims.
The lesson of the martyrdom is the promise of 'Kalema' i.e. the root message of a faithful life, and the holy martyrdom of the Imam (RA) is also the supreme example of sacrifice which distinguishes between truth and falsehood.
Remaining steadfast to truth and not accepting any oppressor in the disguise of either Muslim or non-Muslim is the lesson of this day.
This day proves that the deviant, oppressor and evil-forces in the disguise of Muslims are heinous foes of Iman (Faith). Even if those remain unrecognized, the relation to truth i.e. the existence of Iman must be at stake.
Getting freed from the grip of falsehood, injustice, oppression, extortion, as well as a truth and justice based universal state and governance are directions of 'Shahadat-e-Karbala'.
