HAZRAT ALEE/ALI AKBAR THE BELOVED SON OF HAZRAT IMAAM HUSAIEN رضی
اللہ عنہ
He left the body there and returned to the tent and saw his
eighteen-year-old, young son Hazrat 'Alee Akbar رضی اللہ عنہ who was the ‘look
alike’ of the
Holy Prophet
He said to Imaam Husaien رضی اللہ عنہ, ‘O My father! Let me go out into the battlefield for I don’t want to live if you are slain.’ Hazrat Imaam Husaien رضی اللہ عنہ said. ‘O my son! You are the mirror image of the Holy Prophet ﷺ, We look at you and satisfy our desire to see the Holy Prophet. By sending you I am sending image of the Holy Prophet ﷺ out of my home. Don’t go they are after my blood.’ But Hazrat 'Alee Akbar said, ‘I would also like to go there where my brother Qaasim is. Let me go and quench my thirst in paradise. Please send me out with your blessings.’ Who was leaving for the battlefield, it was the life of Hazrat Imaam Husaien رضی اللہ عنہ, the apple of the Holy Prophet’s ﷺ, eye, the flower of paradise from the garden of Hazrat Bibi Fatimah Zahraa. Hazrat 'Alee Akbar رضی اللہ عنہ recited the following as he went into the battlefield:
He faced the enemy and said: I am 'Ali Akbar the son of Imaam
Husaien رضی اللہ عنہ, who is the son of 'Alee Murtaza we are the Household of
the Holy Prophet ﷺ, most loved by him.
O slayers of the Prophets Household, destroyers of the flowers of
the garden of Bibi Fatimah Zahra…come have my blood on your hands also. [Radiyal laahu ’Anha]
He proved it in the battlefield that he was the grandson of the
Conqueror of Khyber, Hazrat 'Alee رضی اللہ عنہ and in his blood and arms was
the strength of Hazrat 'Alee رضی اللہ عنہ. He killed eighty Yazeedis before
being severely wounded and then martyred. As he fell from his horse he
exclaimed, ‘O my father! Catch me your son is falling.’ As Hazrat Imaam Husaien
رضی اللہ عنہ ran towards his son’s body and before he could reach him, he saw
that his son had been killed.
Hazrat Imaam Husaien رضی اللہ عنہ stood crying at his son’s body
crying and then he carried the body to the tents. Hazrat Zaienab [Radiyal laahu-’Anhaa] came out of
the tent looked at the body and said, “these tyrants have obliterated ‘the
resemblance of the Holy Prophet ﷺ. Imaam Husaien رضی اللہ عنہ too his sister by
the hand and led her into the tent. He asked her to be patient and endure all
calamities for everything that was happening was the test from Allaah Almighty.
