00:00Welcome, in today's Vajahiti presentation, we are going to talk about such an incident from human history,
00:07Which literally changed the course of history.
00:10We are talking about Yom Ashura, the scorching field of Karbala and this great tragedy.
00:17The magnificent art of Urdu Marsiya was born. Just think, these are not just some fragments of the past, but
00:25This is the combination of steadfastness and art whose echo will last forever.
00:29Even today, we can hear it clearly after passing by. Okay, let's get straight to the point.
00:35And let's see what aspects we're going to cover today. First, we'll look at the Qadim of Ashura.
00:40We will see the history, then the contents of Karbala,
01:01If we look at the Ahl-Sunnah tradition, this is the day when Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) and his people were expelled from
01:06They were relieved from the oppression of Allah, and in gratitude for this, the fast is observed. On the other hand, the Ahl-e-Tashyū and the Majmu'i
01:12But most of the Muslims observe this day
01:27It is evident that the roots of the ten Mahrams are indeed very strong. According to Islamic tradition, this was the day when
01:33The repentance of Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) was accepted. On the same day, Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was saved from the blazing fire.
01:40And Hazrat
01:44The safe coming out of the stomach of the fish by Junas Alaihsalaam is also attributed to this day.
01:49This means that this day has always been a day of defending the truth. The second part is about the causes of Karbala.
01:57Why did all this happen? Let's move on and see.
02:00This timeline helps the companion understand the rest of the situation.
02:05On 27 Rajab 60 Hijri, Imam Hussein was forced to leave Medina. To understand the situation
02:11He sent his cousin Muslim bin Aqeel to Kufa
02:29It becomes clear what the true foundation of this entire conflict was. It was the tension that created this world.
02:35It was a completely valid rejection of Imam Hussain's Yazid rule and its demise. their
02:42The situation was very simple that this was hereditary.
02:45This was an open protest against the Islamic system of mutual consultation. So, this was simply a power struggle.
02:52It was not a battle for the sake of justice, but rather a battle for principles. Now we turn to the third part of Karbala.
02:58Historical incident.
03:15He stood firmly in front of the soldiers. Just imagine this unwavering balance, with an army of thousands on one side.
03:21And on the other hand, what greater example could there be of a better person standing up for what is right?
03:27Just before the actual initiation,
03:34He said, people, look at my lineage and see who I am, am I from your river?
03:40Not a grandson. He reminded me of his family lineage, but power and worldly desires turned against him.
03:47To the hearts of the army
04:00These eight of his soldiers were brutally martyred one by one and the matter did not end there.
04:06Even the tents of the women and children of Ahl Bayt were set on fire and they were taken prisoner.
04:11Fourth part: The great character of women when the camp
04:26The sons of Hazrat Ame Kulsoom and Nani Hazrat Sukaina, wonderful women like Ame Wahab and Bahariya bint Masood
04:32He displayed courage unparalleled; he led the convoy of these captives with great determination and withstood every difficulty.
04:39faced head-on
04:40So the most important point to understand here is that the real victory of truth is not in the battlefield but in the courts.
04:46happened in
04:47The sermons delivered by Hazrat Zainab in the courts of Kufa and Damascus completely exposed the cruel rulers.
04:53kept it done
04:54His bold statement told the world that swords might cut heads but they could not cut the heads of truth.
04:59Can never suppress housing
05:01It was due to the miracle of these women that the message of Karbala has reached us today.
05:08Now that this story of Karbala has passed through hearts and oral traditions
05:12So, after reaching Bare Sagir, it took the shape of a well-organized and well-organized literary group.
05:18Istalai is derived from the love of Marsiya Arabi
05:22It means describing the qualities of the deceased and expressing pride in him.
05:28But in Urdu literature this language is especially used to describe the events of Karbala and the martyrdom of Imam Hussain.
05:35reserved for
05:36You will be truly amazed to know how organized and intricate the structure of Urdu Marsiya is.
05:42This is not just a poem but a complete story, it starts with the face i.e. introduction.
05:48Then there would be the hero's departure and his return, followed by a declaration of Khandani bravery in the form of Rajas.
05:54Is
05:54Then the fierce battle of swords, painful martyrdom and finally the ban i.e. mourning, this is a complete emotional journey.
06:02History tells us that Urdu Marsiya, referring to Karbala, formally started from Saout.
06:07That is, it originated from the Qutb Shahi and Adil Shahi princely states of Deccan.
06:11People like Mula Vajji and Gavasi started it
06:14And then he travelled till Lucknow in the north.
06:17Where Sauda, Zameer and Khaliq gave it the shape of Musadas i.e. a six-line poem.
06:23Which we have been reading and hearing till today
06:26The nineteenth century is known as the golden age of Urdu Marsiya.
06:31And this era stands on two very big pillars
06:34Mir Anees and Mirza Dabir now both of them had completely different styles
06:37Mir Anees's identity is his simplicity, powerful visualization and true reflection of human emotions.
06:43In comparison, Mirza Dabir's style was very majestic, with a magnificent vocabulary of Arabic and Persian.
06:50was filled
06:51And this clearly shows how vivid Mirza Dabir's imagination was.
06:59Pay attention to these words, whose lion has arrived that the run is trembling, the run is spinning aside.
07:05is shivering
07:06The majesty and awe that they have captured in these Egyptians is simply amazing.
07:12On the contrary, when we come to Mir Anees, we find human nature and very soft emotions.
07:18see you
07:19He says, the heart wants justice from the children, this is the reason for the father's glory spreading across the world.
07:26The pain a father feels over the dead body of his young son
07:30Anees presents these universal emotions in such a way that the listeners automatically start crying.
07:36But don't think that the art of Marsiya is limited to the old times only.
07:42When we come to the modern era, great poets like Josh Mali Habadi have given it a completely new and
07:47gave it a revolutionary colour
07:49His Awaaz-e-Haq in 1918 and then his elegies like Hussain and Inquilab made Karbala not just a mourning place.
07:55Gave
07:56Rather, it became a powerful symbol of human dignity, unity and standing against oppression.
08:02After this long and emotional journey, we have now come to the very end of this explanatory presentation.
08:08But before we conclude, there is a question that makes us think.
08:12That single day of 69 Hijri, even after centuries, continues to shape global literature.
08:18And how is it affecting the movements for justice with such intensity?
08:23Well, with this question we end today's conversation, to stay together in this journey.
08:27Thank you very much
