SHAFAQNA – It is narrated that at the time of travelling towards Karbala, Imam Hussain (AS) said: Indeed this world has changed and has become unfamiliar and its good has perished. Nothing left expect a bit of moisture absorbed by the bowl, and nothing but a troubled life has remained. Do you not see that the truth/justice is not deployed and the untruth/injustice is not abandoned in order that the believer submits to God in death and closeness of God? Indeed, I do not see death except prosperity and I consider living with oppressors as destruction. Indeed, people are all world lovers and the religion is on the tip of their tongues, and as long as there are facilities for their livelihood, they turn it round, and when they are tested with a calamity, there are less of the religious ones [1].
