descriptionSynopsis
This text presents a comprehensive introduction to Sheikh Abbas Qumis masterpiece, Nafasul Mahmoom (The Breath of the Grieved), which is based on the authenticated historical accounts of Imam Hussains (peace be upon him) life and the tragedy of Karbala. In this book, all the heartbreaking events from the Imams birth, his virtues, and the causes of his revolution up to his martyrdom have been brought together from ancient and authentic sources. The translators note clarifies the true Quranic concept of martyrdom and Jihad, defining it as a conscious struggle against oppression. The text also includes forty Hadiths and traditions that describe the spiritual reward for weeping over Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) as well as the prophecies of the Prophets regarding his martyrdom. Overall, this writing presents Karbala as the great battle between truth and falsehood, and projects the personality of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) as an eternal model of humanity, justice, and spirituality for the rest of time.
