Alhamdolillah ! My write up on ASHARA OHBAT - Noha wa
Aweel received a good response
which has motivated me to share further thoughts on
Grief and Tears shed by mumineen during Muharram on the azeem musibat and bala'
that befell on Imam Hussain ( S.A.).
While trying
to understand more fully on the nature of tears shed because of grief, I was
amazed to find that Rose Lynn Fisher had carried out a scientific experiment,
placing one hundred different samples of tears under microscope.
Every tear we shed carries with it a tiny bit of our
human experience. Emotional tears contain protein based hormones that act as
natural pain killers.
Herein below are two types of tears when put under a
microscope. The dense is tear resulting from onion cutting, and the other is tear of Grief.
I have on purpose written about the scientific
experiment on tears, in order to arouse your interest, and to better understand
that tears are no ordinary, and they have a great depth and meaning. Tears shed
on the musibat and bala' of Imam Hussain (S.A.) are the means of a mumin's
emancipation and salvation.
Allah has blessed us and wired us with a divine
nature - and this is FITRAH which is selfless and identified with our soul, and
this divine nature in us stays even after death. Whereas TABIHA - the animal
nature, that is essential for our survival, at death merges into the earth
elements.
By Noha wa Aweel we are reinforcing our FITRAH and
subduing our TABIHA.
Aqa Muffadal Moula is giving Dawat to our FITRAH. The
means is Noha wa Aweel. Hope this is understood properly.
Muharram is one such month, which brings it's own
miracles. It makes us reflect, shed tears of grief on the tragic events of
Karbala. The sufferings of Imam Hussain (S.A.) and ah'le bait tugs are souls
and awakens and strengthens our FITRAH.
The tragic events of Karbala, poignant and vivid as
ever, are alive these more than 1400 years and will remain so, till the day of
Kayamah, not on account of learned discussions and philosophy of the tragedy of
Karbala - but on account of your Noha wa Aweel mumineen !!
The zulm o sitam perpetuated by Yazeed and his TABIHA driven henchmen has failed
miserably to dampen the spirit and zeal of the true followers of Ah'le bait.
Each passing year it is gathering more momentum. Just look back a few decades
and realise and reflect yourself.
Muharram is the time for spiritual metamorphosis and
Noha wa Aweel is the best means to bring about a faster transformation. An
awakening to die before death and to visualise the eternal bliss of FITRAH
induced spirituality, that brings us Nearness to ALLAH.
I end this post by quoting from the Dua Of Araf'at of
Imam Hussain ( S.A.)
' My Lord what did he loose , who found YOU
And what did he find, who loosed YOU'
Please do reflect that this coming Muharram with our Noha wa Aweel, we mumineen are not going to loose anything, but are surely going to be blessed and find Nearness of ALLAH, the shafa'at of Imam Hussain (S.A.) and the khusi of our Moula Sayedna Muffadal Saifuddin (TUS)

Exemplary and point well explained.
Only I wish you had delved a bit deeper on the different types of tears and how it physically and emotionally benefits us.

Beautifully penned on tears,as how tears are essential for one and how grief is important to all .
EmotionalTears comes when you cross the bridge of pain...and when you cross the bridge of pain you achieve Love, so to achieve Love ,Mohabbat Mola tus ask from us to go through the pain of our Imam AS to achieve his Love and reach the goal we have come for...
Noha o buka zaroor chhe Zahra Na la'al per, chhe sogwari farz Shafi ul maa'al per. Qanoon je Na gham no chhe falak ma tamam, pusht e falak khamida chhe ye gham Thaki mudaam. This is what Syedi Sadiqali said years ago in very his nasihat. Good science on tears of grief and that of other kind. When compared we find ourselves blessed. More details of science on tears required for in-depth knowledge. From: Mohammedi saifuddin Rangoonwala Kolkata.n
