Al-Waqidi has recorded from various ways that Abdullah
bin Hanzallah narrated: 'verily we opposed Yazeed at that
time when we feared that Allah (swt) would send down
stones on us, Yazeed considered nikah (marriage) with
mothers, daughters and sisters to be permissible, drank
alcohol and abandoned prayers'.
Surely when Imam Hussain a.s said, "A person like me
cannot give allegiance to a person like Yazid who had
violated all tenets of Islam", he spoke of what Yazeed l.a
represented.
SubhanAllah! Imam Hussain a.s represented Islam,
Submission to Allah swt and His Oneness and Obedience and
Worship, only to Allah swt. Whereas Yazid l.a represented all
the opposite. No doubt Yazid l.a was Iblis l.a in human form.
Brothers and Sisters, By refusing to do Bayah to Yazid l.a
we see the standard of Imam Hussain a.s. He did not allow his
high standard to fall, for if he had done Bayah to Yazid l.a,
then for centuries after Islam would have changed into
something else and every tyrant would use this stick to beat the
masses with. Hussain a.s is the example. He has been written in
history as the one who never bowed to tyranny and oppression.
His morals and standard are there for everyone to see.
The Children of Fatima a.s are ones who exemplify
morality and Obedience to Allah swt, One after the other.
In fact from the Father of the Imams a.s, Ali a.s, up until
Imam Hasan Askari a.s all Imams a.s were martyred.
They were such a threat to the Evils Ones that one by one
they were poisoned. That fact alone should should ring alarm
bells in the heads of the people that go against the Imams
a.s,Mola Ali Waaris.
What was it about these Children of Fatima a.s, that posed
such a massive threat?
They called to the Supremacy of Allah swt and not the
Supremacy of the People.
All from Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman deemed themselves
worthy enough to Choose who to follow. Astagfarullah, Mola
Ali Waaris.
Surely they had forgotten what happened with Habil a.s
and Qabil l.a.
Both children of Prophet Adam a.s, but one was chosen by
Allah swt and the other deemed himself worthy so chose
himself.
The Brothers of Nabi Yusuf a.s envied Yusuf a.s so much
so that they wanted to kill him, in the end they threw him in the
well and he ended up in Egypt, far away from them...but did
that stop Yusuf a.s from being the Representative of Allah swt
at that time? No, because regardless of what the wish of
anyone is, the Will of Allah swt is Just and He is All Powerful.
He says, "Be, and it is". The Abu Bakr's, Umar's and
Uthman's can do whatever, but they can never deny Ali a.s, the
Hujjah of Allah swt was above them in everything. In
Knowledge, Ilm Divine and all other, Virtue, Honesty, Charity,
Justice, Equality, Battle for Islam, in everything Ali a.s was
ahead, before everyone. He raced to Preserve the Teachings of
Muhammad s.a.w. and Quran and even those who crowned
themselves as Caliph always went to Ali a.s in matter of Islam
and Jurisprudence. So, who is worthy to be a leader, the one
who has all the knowledge and he answers you straight away or
the one who says, "I do not know, go and ask that man
