At the closing speech of the rally Mal Muhammad Turi reiterated the fact that the atrocities committed during Ashura on Imam Hussain (AS) and his followers has not being forgotten in history, but act as a catalyst in reviving and upholding the deen of Allah (T). The sacrifice of those slain at the plains of Karbala will continuously be remembered and the path be followed by all truthful believers and will always act a model in repelling and uprooting all form of tyranny committed by tyrants.
Of course, to emulate the path shown by Imam Hussain (AS), sacrifice is needed and tyrants will always not be at ease, and this very self sacrifice is the pancreas of uprooting all forms of vices. Thus in other to uphold justice and the laws ordained by Allah where there is a misnomer, Imam khomeni (QS) and Shehu Ahmad Tijjani (TR) have always proclaimed, “Kulli yumin ashura wa kulli ardin Karbala”, every day is ashura and every place is karbala.
The duty to uphold the deen of Allah (T) is incumbent on all faithful Muslim!!! The scenario of Ashura has given us a model to emulate Imam Hussain (AS) in sacrificing ourself to upheld our deen against all forms of atrocities!!!!
