The Clairvoyance in Imam Hussein as a Constitution
of Lif an a Vessel of Survival
The clairvoyance in Imam Hussein forms a very wellknown
method of belief by the category that stick out
in the discipline of Imam Hussein (pbuh) to get rid
of the lesion of ignorance which stands as a barrier
between them and the valid faith. So،as a clairvoyant،I
might get benefited from my experience in showing
some of the aspects which are related to the subject of
the clairvoyance in Imam Hussein (pbuh). Thus،this
research،at first،contains the Nation’s attempt in
concealing Imam Hussein (pbuh) in Umayyad
method and it sheds lights on the roots of Umayyad
hatred against the members of the Household of
the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). This entails many
historical examples on this hostility beginning with
Sifeen Battle. This battle could be considered as the
foundation of the aggression against the

The research tackles the role of Zainab (peace be
upon her ) in Al Hussein’s revolution and thereafter
. it was a tremendous role on the encouragement and
information level ،or in evoking the emotion of the
Islamic world that led ، in the end to several uprisings
causing the early fall of the Ummoyyad nation and
the continuity of the Husseiny ritual to the present
،The thoughtful Mistress of the Household of Abi
Talib،(Sayyeda Zainab bint Ali) (pbth)،has devoted
herself wholeheartedly in a manner which has never
been witnessed in history. She has proved that the Jihad
of Imam Hussain (pbth) against tyranny and injustice
never stops by his martyrdom. The revolution of Imam
Hussain (pbth) continues through her significant role
in this renaissance،her acts and deeds.
The research is divided into three sections. The first
section handles her parentage،her chronicle before
the battle of Karbala،and her choice to accompany her
brother،Imam Hussain (pbth)،before his martyrdom.The second section spotlights her role from the 11th
day of Muharram till her arrival to the court of Yazid
ibn Muawiyah. The third section is devoted to her
successful informative outreach role. The research
comes up with some concluding points related to the
topic under study.

It is no doubt that Wilaaiat Aal al- Bayt the guardianship
paid the Household of the Prophet (pbuh) grants
the adherents set of the spiritual integrations and
it might promote their souls to the into the high
.)grade ) the Well Please and the Well pleasing
Basing on this essence،this topic includes the role
of Imam Hussein (pbuh) in vindicating the soul in
accordance with the holy Islamic Code. Hence،this
theme contains،at first،the definition of the Maqaam
the Rank and of the Nafs al- Mutma’ina the
Righteous Soul depending upon the Sacred Qur’anic
Verses that state the role of the soul in the life of
the individual and of the society. Then،the article
moves to make clear how Imam Hussein (pbuh)
became a complete confirmation to the al- Nafs al-
Mutma’ina. Finally،the research handles the affections
of al- Nafs al- Mutma’ina in the community.

Like all Ahlul – Bait) pbuh(Imam Husain ) pbuh(
inherited good -conduct and cultivation from the
prophets )pbuh (Ashura 'renaissance and uprising is but
one aspect of his biography of his approach on forming
and educating human beings accompanied by human
feelings and emotions as it revealed the superiority
and immortality of Husainy's education both in the
field of history and in the field of the geography of
the world . This paper dealt with Imam Husain's)
pbuh (sayings and speeches and his behavior and then
analyzing the subjects and his educational mission
and then figuring out and deducing his educational
methods . This was followed by dividing and setting
down in writing all his educational ، methods as
regards their relation to the basics and principles of
educational in order for the paper ( essay )to be more
practical and more specific and also to avoid repetition
of the sections and topics discussed . The results، the
researcher came out with was that both educational methods، lie the subservient love and being monotheist
when resorting and recoursing to Allah، the Most
High ; as no other way would do، Imam Husain's)
pbuh (way of viewing ontology is that of having the
look of the best discipline and system and consider
thoughtfully . Methods on anthropology included
the following : deduction and inference، education
،follow the examples، accept the results of one's
behavior، proportionateness in commission، being
truthful and avoiding seduction، call for good deeds
and spread love and finally، we referred to guidance
towards values together with using mild expression
showing the educational methods of )axiology(.
Key words : Imam Husain، Educational methods،Ways
of Knowing Allah،the Most high، Ontology، methods
of Anthropology ، methods of Axiology

The history of Jihad Religious war in Islam
includes two decisive battles. The first of them was for
the revelation of the Qur'an and was led by the Prophet
Muhammed (pbuh) himself،through which he faced
the most arrogant disbelievers and polytheists،he
could have triumph over them and forced them to
confess and say the words of monotheism:- There is
no god but one God Laa 'Ilaah 'Ila Allah. While the
second battle was for the exegesis of the Qur'an and
was led by another Muslim personality،Imam 'Ali in
which he fought the Al- Naakitheen the Faithless،Al-
Qaasiteen the people who left the rightlessness and
the Apostates. This brave attitude motivated Prophet
Muhammed (pbuh) to say:- "Oh Ali you will fight
for the sake of the exegesis as I fought for the sake of
the revelation". Hence،as Imam Hussein is regarded
the natural extent of the prophets،he told their goals
in a prayer of his when he said:- «Oh God،you know
that we have not committed a deed for a competition
of sultanate or for a wealth but for supporting the
faith». Thus،Imam Hussein is considered the heir of
the movement of the prophets،the simple of the rest of
Imams،Adam،the elite of Allah،Abraham،the friend
of Allah،Moses،the God Addresser،Jesus the soul of
Allah and Muhammed the God beloved.

Karbala Battle and the martyrdom of Imam Husain
)pbuh (has been considered a prominent event
both in the Islamic and human history whose
effect has been clearly noticed on all aspects، the
political، the military the intellectual and the social
all through the Islamic history . This has been an
impetus for a great many writers to write on such
a historical happening either in separate books or
as part of their books by narration or by analysis.
One of such writers was Al -Qadhy Abn Hanifa
Al -Numan Al -Maghraby who was considered the
highest considerable scholar of Al -Ismaeely sect and
one propagandist for Al -Fatimyah state when first
established.
Al -Qadhy Al -Numan dealt with Imam Hisain’s
revolution since its beginning . He talked about
Imam Husain ’s relation with the Umayyad power
before leaving towards Iraq،He،then،dealt with his
course and progress towards Iraq and his meeting with Al -Hur bin Yazeed Al -Riyahy . He also
dealt with the happenings that took place on the
tenth of Muharram mentioning the names of those
who died martyrs with Imam Husain( pbuh )and
the grief people felt over Imam Husain)pbuh(.

This study tackles an important issue in the first Islamic
history as it is considered a starting point for
development and human development since the
emergence of Islam at the hand of the Prophet ،Muhammed
( pbuh & progeny ) the Holy Quran is the
major core for understanding many of the human
development issues in addition to the auspicious
Prophetical Sunna . These two sources ( tributaries)
were adopted by Imam Husain ،the grandson of the
Prophet (pbuh & progeny) . Accordingly ،we shed
light ،in this study ،on the significance of Husainy›s
march ،its adopted principles in all dimensions and
in particular human ones . All Husainy›s march represented
a developmental project which provided different
al ternatians for human beings in the light of
legitimacy which guaranteed welfare and happiness
both in this world and the her after . In the light of
this horizon،the Husainy›s march contributes to the
(positive change ) on all levels according to a scientificplanning and a leader who feels responsibility and
who makes every effort to achieve communication
and be in touch with the peoples› (Ummah) concerns
and need ; he renewed hope and life through renewing
the concepts of values and their application in
the real world in order for it not to stay within the
d omain of theory and words .
Th is Husainy›s industry of the human scene is the only
warranty ،all over the ages for the Husainy›s march; it
is a lamp of honour of which human heritage is proud
and it ensures the possibility of achieving victory over
the tyrants ( the injust) even after sometime .

No doubt that ،the Prophet’s companions had their
noticeable effect on Islam ; they sacrificed their souls
for the sake of Islam . It is still no doubt that most of
the tenets of religion and the principles of doctrine and
code Sharia reached different parts of t he world through
them . The justice of the Prophet’s companions ( of all
companions) has been and is still a controversial m atter .
It is true that some companions sacrificed their
souls for the sake of Islam and those deserve respect
and praise .
After the prophet›s ( peace be upon him & his
progeny) passing away،some of his companions
strictly followed his Sunnah The Code and religious
teachings ; accordingly ، those should no doubt ، be
taken as an example . For those who disobeyed
Allah ،the Most High ،and His Prophet ( pbuh&
progeny) ،it is no doubt ، that they are treated
as disobedient people by Allah،the Most High .
When comparing the biographies of the Prophet’s companions and the biographies of the other previous
Prophet’s companions ،one may notice that a divine
secret lives behind . When going back to the history
of the messengers and to the history of the Prophet›s
companions one may see how they disappointed their
prophets in troubles and how they left them for fear
of death .
The Prophet’s companions who were coeval of
Imam Husain ( pbuh) witnessed the blood bath in
Karbala but they were completely passive . They did
nothing but looking with very few comments. Those
companions who supported Imam Husain ( pbuh)
were very few; their opinions and situations towards
Imam Husain ( pbuh) revolution were different . Some
of them supported Ibn Ziad in killing Imam Husain
and his companions and some others only gave advice
،some of them thought that what Imam Husain was
going to do was but seceding from or rebelling against
the Imam with homage .
That minority who believe in and supported Imam Husain ( pbuh) never thought of defeat and that
defeat was not sign to defeat of right or triumph of
wrong . Imam Husain ( pbuh) tried to rescue the
Ummah the Nation from the state of deadlock ; he
urged the Ummah to revolt against the Ummayd
power . That was never to be achieved without bloodshedding
As a matter of fact most of the prophet›s
companions disappointed the grandson of the
Prophet ( pbuh& progeny) and they left him alone
armored by nothing but faith; they witnessed how
his virtuous blood rose to sky . Now،at the present
time ،who is going to carry the flag،of Imam Husain
( pbuh) ? Accordingly we could clearly notice that
Imam Husain›s companions felt peace of mind and
psychological rest in addition to the fact that life in this
world meant nothing to them as they described death
with Imam Husain ( pbuh) to be sweeter than honey

Imam Husain’s ) pbuh(address is not far from the cognitive
dealing with that which is different on the level of the
viewpoints and dimensions in time sphere . From the value
angle، one notices a huge amount of this type of address where
it plays its role in correcting and directing a human being’s
way of thinking in his relations with his surroundings . From
a cognitive side،one notices the effective grounding in the
deep contextual directing stimulant to the brain in its cause
of existence and what it will look like in its travailing towards
the absolute in order to raise questions having functions، the
universe may raise which will be answered by the divine caliph
on earth . His address ( pbuh )contained codifications which
showed the way the leader ( the responsible ) behaves by word
and deed . This is of great importance coming in value after the
duality of the struggle on authority living inside the Islamic
imagination in the domain of the concept of dominating and
authority ignoring the motions and prerequisites to which
authority refers.
Accordingly، this paper came into being not to research the stimulating factors related to the struggle on authority
according to the Islamic mind and thinking nor concerned
with the reasons and roots behind such inclination . The
study، rather، put as priorities the study of the symmetry and
patterning of the movement of leadership in Imam Husain’ s
)pbuh(address proceeding to the pattering of the techniques
of that principle in reality . The leader has a centrality and a
strategy not confined by time span or restricted by distance
،but rather the discernment and clear-sightedness in
activating the relation between the ruler and the citizens in
addition to rationalizing the concept of leadership so as for
the citizens to feel happy along with falsifying the fabricated
address of the authority . All these represent major features the
research intentionally highlighted through the active texts in
the confeat of the event and reality.
The research consisted of a preliminary and three sections:
The strategy and the leadership، the basics of the concept،the
leadership and Imam Husain’s )pbuh(the duality of
adjacency and interrelatedness and the skills of leadership
in Imam Husain’s )pbuh(address . Then came two sections :the first was on the leadership in the symmetry and the
second was on the leadership in the essence ( self ،)This
was followed by the conclusions and endnotes together
with a list of the. sources and the references used

Semiotics can be seen as a complementary field to linguistics.
It expands linguistic studies beyond the traditional basic level
of structure; the phoneme and the sentence. Semiotics moves
to texts and discourse in order to discover their ideological,
performative، and rhetorical functions. Therefore, its wide
scope is human communication and its multimodality. The
present study is an analysis of textual communication in a
محاسبة النفس اللوامة‘ traditional book written in Arabic entitled
Watching out the Self-Reproaching Soul and ) › وتنبيه الروح النوامة
Al-Kaf›ami), a ) ‹ الكفعمي ‘ Awakening the Sluggard Spirit) by
religious scholar who lived in the 9th. century A.H. in Karbala,
Iraq. The analysis is semiotic in nature through two processes.
The first process approaches the text,through some selected
extracts, in terms of the seven standards of textuality by De
Beaugrande and Dressler (1981) and other complementary
paths. The second process is saved for an attempt to read the
whole text in terms of three stages: comprehension, interpretation,
and criticism. The study has concluded that not any ordinary
reader is able to work on these three tasks particularly
employed to the texts in hand: reading within the text for the
sense, reading upon the text for the value, and reading against
the text for the critique.
