A
miracle under Imam Hussain (AS)'s dome
(From HOLY KARBALA) - People witnessed
on Sunday 28 November, 2004, a miracle of grandson of holy Prophet
Muhammad bin Abdullah (p), Chief of Martyrs Al-Imam Al-Hussein bin Ali
bin Abi Talib (p), in favor of a young renowned Husseini dirge-chanter
Ghassan Al-Karbalayi.
According to details, Ghassan Al-Karbalayi, born in Baghdad, had been
serving the Husseini pulpit in Iran, Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon, Syria and
many other countries until the day he faced a road accident two years
ago at a road from Tehran to Isfahan while returning from Kuwait after
observing and reciting dirges there to mark Arbaeen Al-Husseini, or the
40th day after the martyrdom of Al-Imam Al-Hussein (p). As a result of
this accident, Al-Karbalayi lost his memory. After six months he was
relieved of it, but his health continued deteriorating and he remained
dumb and paralyzed until Sunday 28 November, 2004 when for the first
time after two years he was able to stand on his feet, then he walked
and spoke.
Al-Karbalayi’s father told that they came here from Iran to perform
zyarah and offer dua at the holy mausoleum of Al-Imam Abi Abdellahil
Hussein (p) after they were barred for several years from this due to
Saddam regime which forced his family to migrate from their own country
– Iraq -. He said when we entered the holy compound and therefrom the
holy mausoleum, my son Ghassan asked me through gestures to leave him
pulling himself on his knees and hands until he himself reaches to the
zarih (tomb) of Al-Imam Al-Hussein (p) and asks Allah to heal him for
the sake of Al-Imam Al-Hussein (p). Our tears were flowing with our each
step towards the holy zarih. And Husseini miracle appeared when Ghassan
asked me through gesture to help him in standing on his feet after he
informed me through gesture that he is feeling a heat running towards
his feet and then to his other body parts. I did what Ghassan asked me
to do. When he stood up, suddenly I found him speaking to me: “Leave me
to stand up by myself,” and more than this that he took steps. I could
not control myself seeing all this miracle, and unconsciously ran
towards the holy compound telling everyone in loud voice with great
happiness all what happened to my son praising Allah and invoking His
blessings on the Holy Prophet (p) and his Ahlil Bayt (pure progeny (p)).
When Ghassan Al-Karbalayi was asked: “Did you know what would happen to
you if you would achieve an honor of visiting Al-Imam Al-Hussein (p)
after a long time?” He replied: “Yeah, I had seen all this in dream
before reaching in the holy city of Karbala, and as if it was promised
from Al-Imam Al-Hussein (p) to his servants that they will succeed with
his special favor and kindness in this world and the hereafter. And what
happened to me is the biggest proof of Ahlul Bayt (p)’s high status and
the greatest reply to those who disbelieve Ahlul Bayt (p)’s supremacy
and their miracles.”
He further told that the physicians treating me had many a time asked my
father to donate my body parts as they were disappointed of my recovery
and had declared me dead. But by the grace of Allah and favour of this
great Imam (p) I can move now, see and speak as if nothing had happened
to me.
Replying to this query “what was the first deed you performed soon after
your healing?”, he said: “I came out of the holy mausoleum and my sight
focused on a pulpit. I went to it immediately, people gathered around me
and I started reciting Husseini dirges while weeping. People were also
weeping.”
One of companions of Ghassan Al-Karbalayi in his travel to Holy Karbala
told that when they were about to begin their journey, some of their
friends and neighbors came there to see them off. One of them was a
Christian man, when he came to know their intention he said ‘if you
would achieve this miracle from Al-Hussein (p), I will announce my
Islam.”
