Paradise on earth 🌹

Mawla Hussain's shrine is what the eyes and heart crave for. I couldn't attend the Arbaeen walk in Karbala, Iraq but the pencil and paper came to the rescue. Love and pain always walk together, Hussain is the prime example. He gave it all and when left with nothing, his head in prostration ready to be sacrificed. The nature of divine love, surrender, longing and justice was found through the one and only Hussain, no surprise there as he is the son of Maa Fatema Uz Zahra & Mawla Ali. A real beacon for all who seek the truth.

Sorrow, devotion, bravery and spiritual depth for the Ahlulbayt comes from the blood of Hussain. Surrounded, thirsty and outnumbered yet he refused to bow before tyranny. May our limitations, weaknesses, and untamed love keep us awake at night to be closer to the Lord of Hussain. Labbaik ya Hussain. Shah Ast Hussain, Badshah ast Hussain.
