Dasht-e-Karbal Mein Khara Soch Raha Tha Islam

Faida Kiya Huwa Kafir Ko Musalman Kr Kay 

(Allama M. Iqbal)

       In these verses Iqbal has squeezed a brief history right from the era of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W). On the event of Fatah-e-Makah, Abu Sufian embraced Islam, before this he was considered as a head of opposition for Islam and its preaching. Lot of our people admit that he embraced the Islam whole heartily but as the time passed results came in front of the audience, Basically he accepted the Islam but hypocrisy against the Islam did not came to an end.

       
        By covering the skin of Islam he and his descendants tried to harm the identity of Islam, and when the age Caliphate rose head Moviya, son of Abu Sufian stood against Hazrat Ali a.s and after him he still stood against Hazrat Imam Hassan a.s which were the real successor (Janasheen) of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W). Abu Sufian and his descendants launched too many conspiracies (sazish) and tortured the successor of Prophet (S.A.W.W) as much as they can. So the question raises, Is that the Islam and Prophet taught?? Islam taught the lesson of brotherhood instead of harassment. This all was performed for governing the stage as emperor of Islam. The question raised that, How a person can become the emperor of Islam who has passed more then half of his life in circumstances to damage the fundamentals of Islam.

       Same germs transferred in there offspring and in 61 Hijri, Yazeed (Grandson Abu Sufian and Son of Moviya) stood in front of Imam of that time, and he asked Imam to put his hand in his hand for pledge. But Imam Hussain a.s told him that he will prefer death instead of pledging in the hands of such a worthless person. Because he (Yazeed) and his forefathers all the time worked against the Islam.

        So Iqbal defined this history in these words that what was the benefit of converting the man (Abu-Sufiyan) as a Muslim that his descendants are now fighting against the Fact (Imam Hussain a.s, his companions and his family). He fought against the pearls of destiny and wisdom. Poet is describing that the place of KARBLA is morning (afsoos) for conversion of such type of man. Although there are people who were non-Muslims in that period but they were not disturbing Prophet and his Ahle-bait, but that was the Muslim who brought his sword against the successor of Prophet (S.W.W.W)
