Karbala – visit – reflections

In Imaam Hussain’s Harram there was a feeling of patience, sabr, thandak and sukoon.

In Abbas Alamdar harram there was a feeling of beauty and youthful energy. Almost as if you can achieve great things.

In Mola Ali Haram – it just is a very lively influence, a very pleasant revival of your true self, go fulfill your inner dreams. It’s where I found him telling me happiness is in action. Live. Unfold the magic. 

 ——In life the key is to accept. Accept your current circumstances. Only then can anyone plan and execute a fruitful life as that results into clarity. There is so much subjectivity on what’s right and wrong that it negates the concept of it, rather it’s attributed to the system of thoughts one is engaged in either by ideology, experience, exposure, pain, maturity or society.. 

After visiting Karbala sharif there has been such a profound understanding that I don’t think I will ever be able to painfully cry for Imaam Hussain, in fact it will only be in the honour of how risen he was, how well built his mind was, where all the physical pain stood invalid to him.. he was rather feeling one with Allah..as he crossed through the sufferings of the world.

One must know there is no one who has full understanding other than Allah and so no one can ever have the clarity to judge you.

It’s therefore, the freedom Allah has given each of us to act as if we are answerable to HIM

but then do we have free will?

the influence of everything around us is so much that we think we do..but the Almighty the Divine is really magnificent and the way he has created this live network is an illusion to us that we have control.

but these are explorations on my mind, not right not wrong…only acceptance of yourself, your feelings, your impulses. The key thing is to have patience and not react to emotions..let it wade through you…and then with clarity get on..
