All wounds heal with time, for every hardship there is solace to be found, yet the <em>bukaa\u2019<\/em> on Imam Husain has no solace, the tears know no end. The remembrance of Karbala comes back with renewed intensity every year, every 10<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0of Moharram al Haram.<\/p>\n<p>Syedna al-Qadi al-Noman elucidates that <em>imaan<\/em> consists of three parts: articulating with the tongue, believing from the heart, and execution by the limbs. Imam Husain\u2019s <em>shahaadat<\/em> redeemed Islam and Iman; his <em>shahaadat<\/em> is the heart of Islam and Imaan. Imam Husain\u2019s <sup>SA<\/sup> <em>gham<\/em> is felt by the heart, but that is not enough. It needs to be manifested through tears, <em>maatam<\/em> and the call of \u201cYa Husain Ya Husain!\u201d. Al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin <sup>RA<\/sup> said, \u201cCry so much that the hands naturally rise in <em>maatam<\/em>, and do <em>maatam<\/em> with such intensity that tears start to flow naturally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Taher Saifuddin <sup>RA<\/sup> writes in his elegy \u201cPass away O soul!

Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin <sup>TUS<\/sup> is, today, furthering this grief and lament by mandating that each and every <em>mumin<\/em> attend Asharah Mubarakah <em>waaz<\/em> from the very first day, so that not a single <em>mumin<\/em> is deprived of the <em>barakaat<\/em> of Imam Husain <sup>SA<\/sup>.
