when we want to talk about Karbala we are not talking about some city

visited by millions of people each year , we are actually talking about

a city that takes a place in the hearts of the free people we are

talking about a place where a real hero who sacrificed with everything

he got , family brothers friends even his 6 months baby , he sacrificed

for Principles and values he fought for glory his army was a

group of heroes the army included the white and the black he did not

differentiated between them when his son ran out to the savages he said

oh Allah witness this a guy who is very similar to prophet of Allah Mohammed

got out to them and when he

died he ran out to the battlefield

and put his cheek on his son cheek and he made the same thing when one of his

black friends died this hero is dominates the hearts of the free people

he stood against a tyrant who wanted to made the people slaves for the

state but he stood against that tyrant and he said

When you enslave people and their mothers brought them to this life free

mean the people born free and that's the way they gonna live their life and

that is the way they gonna die

Karbala was a great battle between the Good and evil the savages had no

Principles they had nothing but the hero and his friends had the Dignity

Freedom Courage Ethics Values and principles and that is very obvious when

his brother Abbas peace be upon him got out

to bring water to the camp to the thirsty kids

he fought very well and he injured a man but

he did not kill him because Islam does not allow to him to finish a wounded

man although his 3 brothers died his nephews and his friends but he had faith

and they were only savages the hero and his friends were only 70 the savages

were 30 thousand and when they killed the hero and his friends they burned

the tents some of the kids died under the hooves of the horses and

some of them burned to death they were only innocent kids

the battle of Karbala determined the way of the life , the life of the free

people and

we learned a great lesson from that hero the tyrant what so ever he is

we should not go down to him only for Allah

the words of that hero it is in the ears of the free people

through ages

we born free and that is the way we are gonna live our life that is the way

we are gonna die free people

that is why we walk to Karbala kids , guys , women ,men , girls

old men , old women , scientists , doctors , engineers , workers and

every single person he wants to live his life as free man

that tyrant is gone

but there he stands the real hero in most sacred place in the world

Imam Hussein and his brother Abbas and his son and his friends and the

kids those who died burned to death and those who

died under the steps of

the hooves of the horses and of course his 6 months baby peace be upon them all

and you sir just say it deep down from your heart with a very loud voice

we are free people that is the way we born and that is the way we are gonna

live our life and that is the way we are gonna die

in the memory of the death of Imam Hussein and his family peace be upon them
