Hurr (Arabic for free thinker). He was the man responsible for stopping Hussain's caravan in Karbala and restricting their water access while waiting for further orders from his seniors. Night before the battle, he finally gave in to his internal struggle and surrendered to Hussain, joining his forces to wholeheartedly fight for a cause. He broke out of his social pressures to choose a side he freely thought to be right.
You choose.
You choose a narrative to believe in.
You listen, read, learn, think, acknowledge, choose and decide to follow a certain narrative. A certain happening. A certain cosmic event.
So today, don't tell a tale of delusional unity where you exist in two narratives. Where you believe in a war of two rights or lesser right and rights. For when two stand, one is an oppressed.
Don't convince yourself of sweet illusions of existence of grey. There exists plain black and plain white.
As striking and brutal it sounds, there exists polarized Right and polarized Wrong.
Be free enough to choose then.
Be confident enough to first read unbiased narratives, independent of heritage, childhood and lineage broughtup and read.
Then decide. Choose a side you're convinced of.
Just like today, you have come to believe how Hussain and Karbala is for all, come to believe that Hussain and Karbala existed in the Realm of striking Right while negating striking Wrong.
In as much as Hussain teaches Humanity, it imparts the knowledge of courage. Courage of standing for the Right and fighting for it.
You can't possibly be selling 'Hussain is for all' while blurring right and wrong.
Once you say 'Hussain is for all', you are endorsing the fact that He stood for Right while the other stood for wrong.
Once you claim his notion for Humanity, you are standing up to recognising and fighting Oppression and Injustice within and outside.
Once you claim to respect him, you are joining the one who fought against him. 1400 years ago to till this very moment and beyond.
Don't make him exist like facebook Rumi where you swiftly and fluidly twist and turn his mission to fit a skewed definition of Peace and Unity.
For He is the man who stood for Peace and Unity while dying a death for rejecting oppression.
Those who understand His mission don't mourn the physical brutalities inflicted.
Those who understand His mission mourn the moment when he looked around wondering where His grandfather's supporters, followers and companions' families had gone as he stood alone asking one last time if there was anyone to help him.
He was the grandson of the man who happens to be a universal figure of Peace and Humanity and the Last Prophet of 2billion around the world.
So when he says today if there is anyone there to help him, you can't possibly be joining him without negating first absolutely all the forces and intentions that stood against him then and that work against His struggle for Justice today.
He wholeheartedly welcomed Hurr to join him. He compassionately forgave him. For he saw a free thinker in Hurr. He saw Hurr in Hurr.
As he addressed his enemies one last time, clarifying his defensive stance in the war, he said "If you don’t believe in any religion and don’t fear the Resurrection Day, at least be free in this world."
So if you really believe in joining His cause, do so while freeing yourself from the shackles of emotional biases and sweet illusions of believing in two opposing forces as right simultaneously. You can't respect his enemies or likes of his enemies while endorsing his mission. Be you then be from any sect, faith, no faith.
And that is how he stands Universal.
