      Hussain is mam Hussain was second son of Fatima (SA) and Ali bin abi Talib (AS).

      Hussain (AS) was born on 3rd Shabaan, 4th year of Hijri (10.1.626 AD) .Holy Prophet was given the news of the birth of his 2nd grandson. He arrived at the house of his daughter, took the little baby in his arms, said the Azan and Iqamah in his ears. People around the Prophet (PBUH) saw tears in his eyes. Fatimah (AS) asked what was the reason for this, he told her that this boy of her will achieve martyrdom, but consoled her by adding that God will create a nation who will mourn Hussain(AS) till the Day of Judgement. Another famous saying of the Prophet (PBUH) at the same time became synonymous with the name of his grandson Hussain. “Hussian-o-Minni wa Ana Minul Hussain”. (Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain). One can explain this Hadith that Hussain(AS), being the grand son of the Prophet (PBUH) was from him biologically. How a grandfather was from his grand son needs to be explained. Prophets of God speak spiritually rather than materially. He was talking about Islam the Deen he was assigned by God to propagate God’s religion.. He was for Islam and his whole life was for Islam and its establishment on earth. Any break in this mission would subvert this mission which was the purpose of his creation. The message of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in this saying was that Hussain will, in some near future save this mission from destruction, hence the very purpose of his being will be saved by the sacrifice of his grandson. He was giving the news of a future occurrence.

    Hasnain – Derived from the two names Hassan and Hussain put together

    When anyone of the Prophets Family(blessings be upon them) called both brothers they used to call “Hasnain” and both Hassan and Hussain would come

    Also when Hasnain is mentioned sometimes it refers to both Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain

    SunhanAllah

    IN RESPONSE TO PRESS RELEASE in Indian newspaper by Dr.Zakir Naik

    To whom it may concern

    Again I am addressing it without any salutations to anyone involved in supporting in anyway Mr.Naik for his views and a platform where he is representing ISLAM yes the ISLAM of Abu Sufyaan Muawiya and Yazeed. Rather let me rephrase it ISLAM is only one which was brought to us by our beloved prophet Muhammad s.a.w.and anyone who changes, opposes or twists the facts is not to be named ISLAM. You have very cleverly twisted the facts by mixing up one issue with another. You have written Dr.Naik do not endorse this heinous crime of killing of Imam Hussain a.s. but at the same time does not even condemn the drunkard Yazeed under whose order this whole event of Karbala took place. He did not satiate with the killing of Imam Hussain a.s. and his immediate male members of the family and his devoted companions (ALLAH SWT IS PLEASED WITH THEM FOR SURE) but after that his army looted the family of Ahlul Bayt s.a. and took them captives and they were brought as
    captives in the court of Yazeed and kept them in prison for one year in appalling conditions what would you say about this now.

    In general context do you know that if a Muslim commits a sin in private is not a big sinner like the one who does it publicly becos his actions are watched by e.one and this can lead any human astray.

    I think you and Mr.Naik should have complete insight of Islamic history before forming your opinion. In Sahih Bukhari it is quoted that our Prophet s.a.w. warned Ayesha of the forth coming events that one of his wives would come riding a camel against Imam Ali a.s. and that she will not be on HAQ (Truth). During Battle of Jamal when the army passed thru the valley Khawab where the dogs barked Ayesha was reminded by Hafsa what Prophet s.a.w. said about this and she wanted to retreat but was convince by Talha her brother in law that this valley is not the valley of Khawab and falsely this was testified by his supporters. This is the first false testimony in the history of Islam.

    I can go on and on with numerous references to the factual history of Islam that what respect and status Imam Hussain a.s. had in eyes of Prophet s.a.w. and do you think any of the Prophet s.a.w. actions are to the contrary to what Allah s.w.t. has revealed in the Holy book Quran. In the same Quran it is said that Prophet s.a.w. says and acts only according to what is revealed to him. I am copying the earlier mail sent to Dr.Naik so that things may be bit more clear to yourselves.

    Whenever there is opposition between 2 groups one is always on HAQ and other on BAATIL. A person can only support one group and cannot say that I endorse both the parties. I think Dr.Naik should have the courage to say the truth either accepts what he said was great mistake or he should publicly shows his support for YAZEED and declares himself from his group so that he should be dealt with by ALLAH swt on the day of judgement accordingly. Though he doesn’t need to do this becos Allah swt is the best knower of peoples heart and Niyya.

    INNAMAL AAMALO BIL NIYYAT. WAMA ALAINA ILLAL BALAGH.

    Copy of MAIL sent earlier to Mr.Naik

    Dear Mr. Naik

    Hello!!! I will not greet you in the way Muslims greet each other and as shown to us by our beloved Prophet s.a.w. Brother Husnain of U.A.E. was very courteous to greet you in this way. I and I think all my brothers and sisters in faith would endorse my opinion which will be more vivid in the later part of this letter.

    Your remarks in regard to tragedy of Karbala which is the most unfortunate, unethical and highly immoral event and most Black day not only in the history of Islam but in the human history, was painted by yourself as a politically motivated to gain power. I did not know that in this modern era where science and technology research is at its peak people like you whose CV apparently reflects you being quite learned and rational personality but to the contrary you are most IGNORANT and PATHETIC. I put this remarks with heavy heart for a person of your calibre but it is fully justifiable as any one who undermines and in some way insults Prophet s.a.w and his Holy progeny s.a. is not pardonable in this world nor hear after. I do not know how you did this but am pretty sure it was deliberate. You need to have an insight of Islamic history and also about the true status of Imam Hussain a.s. not only this pure person but his pure parents and ancestors. If you are
    unaware then I will try to give brief introduction of them though I do not even have that capacity to give due respect and introduction as only Allah swt has revealed Ayah e Tatheer in their honour. Now do you deny this as well this famous event of Chadar e Tat heer is quoted by the wife of Prophet s.a.w Aayisha in one of the Sahis quoted by Bukhari and Muslim.

    1. Whenever there is a fight/war between 2 groups whether political or any nature or any debate or argument one side is on HAQ (Truth) and other on BATIL (Falsehood). In case of Karbala by sending salutations to YAZEED (May he be cursed by Allah swt and his angels and doomed on the day of judgement) you have demonstrated that you are his supporter and MAZALLAH Imam Hussain a.s. the pure and truthful Imam of his time who was brought up and nurtured by Holy Prophet s.a.w. was not on HAQ.

    2. Do you have full information and analysis of Historical events of Islam? and about personalities involved in the event of Karbala. Who was YAZEED a tyrant, drunkard and debaucher as fully explained in letter of brother HUSNAIN from U.A.E. and brother MURTAZA BANDEALI of U.K. supported by authentic references. To add to these he was son of MUAWIYA son of ABUSUFYAN who was bitter enemy of ISLAM who entered in to peace pact with HOLY PROPHET s.a.w. and then broke it. He was the grandson of HINDA wife of ABUSUFYAN the chewer of liver of SHAHEED E UHAD Hazrat Hamza a.s. uncle of HOLY PROPHET whose death was mourned by him years and years and he used the earth from his grave for prostration of his prayers.
    Who was IMAM HUSSAIN a.s. son of IMAM ALI a.s. commander of the faithful the Standard bearer of the flag of ISLAM in numerous battles fought by the Holy Prophet s.a.w. Conqueror of Khayber. On the night of Hijra slept on Holy Prophet’s bed when Kafirs of Mecca were plotting to kill our Holy Prophet. Umar once said that “if ALI a.s. was not there I would have perished”.
    Imam Hussain a.s. is the Leader of the youths in paradise. He is from Ahlul Bait s.a. he is amongst the group of Mubahela which took place between CHRISTIANS OF NAJRAN and HOLY PROPHET s.a.w. on the order of Allah swt. when the verse of “abna ana wa abna akum wa nisa ana wa nisa akum anfosana wa anfosakum” was revealed.

    I sincerely hope your eyes are opened my ignorant friend and you should be bold enough to accept the true facts and publicly apologise and eat your words else if you are happy to be with YAZEED on the day of judgement then no one will stop you doing so. GOOD LUCK to you.

    Finally you always hold talks and debate sessions with people from different faiths who themselves are misguided and act and belief to the contrary to what has been revealed by Allah swt not only in HOLY QURAN but BIBLE, TORAH and PSALMS. I invite you to hold debate with group of MUSLIMS who are the true followers of SUNNAH of HOLY PROPHET s.a.w. I take this opportunity to fully compliment and tribute Dr.Tejani Al Samawi who found the right path and salvation due to his rationality and will be honoured for his contribution in spreading the true ISLAM.
    May ALLAH swt guide us all and may we die on the true religion. Ameen

    While I am no authority to comment on your question nor have enough knowledge or research on all the topics of Zakir Naik – and quite frankly I too used to enjoy his speaches on Islam-Hinduism where he proved from Hindu Scriptures Islamic principals.

    But the fact of today’s world is that you cannot take anyone on face value or not be skeptical of their hidden agenda. Hence whatever one reads – hears – sees has to be done with an open mind.

    Personally I am careful even when I hear our own Maulana’s specially when they go overboard at times. Sometimes they too tread a very thin line specially the ‘wah’ ‘wah’ ones. This is one of the reasons that people get a chance to criticize us and our love for Ahlul Bayt.

    In today’s time and age…to protect one’s Imaan is the biggest challenge as Media is such a powerful force that can mislead if not properly evaluated.

    These are my thoughts.

    Thank you for your candid reply. I totally agree with your way of thinking. The media is the only way that our deen can be infiltrated and corrupted. Hence you are correct when you say that protecting our iman is the single most difficult task in this age of the electronic media.
    The best way forward is to literally go backwards and rid our minds of excessive thinking and research. Everything we need to know can be found in the Greatest book ever to be revealed, THE HOLY QURAN.
    May ALLAH s.w.a grant us all the ability to see through this web of deception that is being spun by these groups and individuals.

    I had been watching and commenting on Zakir Naik comments any way he is funded by the Dajjal forces and Dushmanane Ahle Baith so he will not say sorry.

    Now I have very GLAD TIDINGS for all Muslim brothers

    HASNAIN BROTHER PLEASE FOR ALLAHS SAKE VISIT THIS WEB SITE AND TRY TO SPREAD THIS SITE TO ALL OUR MUSLIM BROTHERS AS THIS HAS GOT VERY HIHG IMPORTANCE!!!!!! DON’T MISS THIS CHANCE SPREAD LIKE WILD FIRE FOR ALLAHS SAKE

    AWAKE NOW ALL MUSLIM BROTHERS & VISIT http://www.harunyahya.com/

    Please note that for the past 6 years I had been digging this web site and found that the site is fully in compatible with the teaching of Holy Quraan and Hadees.

    No cheating like nowadays who talk about Allah, Quraan and finally they are Hippocrates working and funded by Messiah Dajjals principals.

    The most striking article by the author Adnan Oktar’s whose pen name is referred to as Harun Yahya) writings which is flashing on the internet web site now is collapse of DARWINISM “THEORY OF EVOLUSION” by his book called ATLAS OF CREATION.
    &
    ISALM IS LIKE WATER & TERROISM IS FIRE
    THE WATER EXTINGUISHES THE FIRE

    Also see his open challenge and appearance of Mehdi A.S. and Nabi Allah Isa A.S is very near Insha Allah.

    This is not a simple statement it has got very deep meaning at present we are struggling with the world leaving in terror and highly corrupted Duniya. Apart from this all his articles are found to be in line with Quraan and Islam’s good teaching of peace and no blood shed.

    You all can watch, see, listen or read his stuff on line movies and the books once you start reading or watching his stuff you will never like reading any thing other than this. This is my past 6 years experience.

    He is a very good scientist with match less qualities and look at him how he matches the science with Quraan.

    Salaamun Alaikum wa rahmatullah brother Rana Umar

    I endeavour to answer your 2 questions:

    1) First and foremost, we Shias dont ABUSE anyone.

    We follow the dictate of the Holy Quran, “Dont abuse those whom they call other than Allah lest they abuse Allah, bearing enmity, out of their ignorance.” (Surah An’aam: Verse 108).
    Yes, we do say that we have to distinguish between vice and virtue, a fact declared by the Holy Quran and all sensible people of the world.

    As the Holy Quran says, “Or will We make those who believe and perform good deeds like the mischief-makers in the land. Or will We make the pious like the transgressors?” (Surah Suad (38): Verse 28.).

    The ONE MAJOR difference between the Shias and others is that the Shias call a vicious person as vicious regardless of his position or status – while the other Muslims think that anybody who saw the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) or kept him company SHOULD BE exonerated of all his vices!!!
    Therefore, they NOT only exonerate Khalid Ibn Walid, the nemesis of the Muslims in the Battle of Ohod, who killed Maalik Ibn Nuwairah (a very pious Muslim) and forced his wife into copulation without waiting for the Iddah period, but even go to the extent of calling him “Saifullah” (the sword of Allah). This applies to everybody, without exception.

    The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) declared, “Fatima is a part of me. Whoever hurts her has hurt me and whoever has hurt me has hurt Allah and whoever hurts Allah will go to hell-fire.”

    Fatema (s.a.) herself, declared,”O Abu Bakr and Umar, you two have hurt me and I curse both of you after all my obligatory prayers.” (al-Imamah wa al-Siyasah of Ibn Qutaibah al-Dainoori, a second century Aalim of the Ahle Sunnah). He continues, “And she continued to do so till the end of her life.’

    There are numerous such instances available in Sunni sources. Thus, the only fault of the Shias is that they call a bad person as bad.

    Now, this gives rise to another question: Does being a Sahaabi give a clean chit to a person to do anything that he wants? Does he become an infallible? Were all the companions of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) immaculate?

    The answer is clearly NO in the light of the Holy Quran and wisdom. Refer Surah Kahf: Verse 27. Moreover, for whom were the Chapters of Taubah (9) and Munaafeqoon (63) revealed?
    Please browse through the verses and check out. The Holy Quran clearly says, “And from those around you from the A’raab (Bedouins) are the Hypocrites and similarly from the people of Madinah are those who are obstinate in their hypocrisy. You do not know them. We know them. Soon We will punish them twice, then they will be returned to a great chastisement.” (Surah Taubah: Verse 101).
    Nothing can be more explicit than this. There are numerous such verses.

    The last point remains over here. Who is good or who is bad? That can be gauged only from the various historical incidents available in reliable books and of course, the acknowledgement of many of these so-called companions of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.).

    For example,

    What would you call a person who dares to call the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) Insane?

    What would you say to a person who raises his voice in front of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) who was on his deathbed and the Prophet had to drive him away?

    What would you say of a person who himself declared, ” O Huzaifah, I swear by Allah, i am from the hypocrites.’

    Who banned the narration of traditions of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) after his death?

    Who allowed the large-scale fabrication of traditions?

    Well, brother, all these were the achievements of Umar, the second caliph, of which the first two even documented in the Sihaah-e-Sittah!!
    The remaining are recorded in other books that are accepted by the Ahle Sunni wal Jammat reliable sources.

    The same argument (as mentioned above) applies for the wives. We NEVER, note, NEVER, say that all the wives of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) were bad or evil.

    Those who did evil were evil. Those who were good were good. Again browse through your own documents and find out. If you cannot,
    I will help you out. Brother, if you go through your own Sahia Sitah you will get all your answers – rather than listen to people who do not want to talk/discuss these issues among your sect who call themselves learned and well read (including people like Zakir Naik)

    2) Regarding your second question, why Shias dont believe in the Sihaah-e-Sittah, I ask you, Have you gone through the Sihaah-e-Sittah yourself thoroughly? Can you read it in front of your family members without any qualms or hesitation? I will get back to you after receiving these two answers from you. Inshallah.

    Anyway, thanks brother, for your queries because our Imams (a.s.) have taught us, “A good question is half the answer.”

    Wassalaam

    Wa alaykum salaam Brother Faisal

    I am very happy to hear your good news of your baby Son.
    I am also very pleased to hear that you have chosen his name to be Hasnain.

    You may be aware that Hasnain means HASAN + HUSSAIN. When our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him and his familY) wanted to call both his grandsons together he would call them HASNAIN.

    I would like to inform you that I come from a Sunni-Shia family. My mahrum father was a Sunni and my mother is a Shia. Hence I have seen/read/experienced/understood both the major sects of Islam. My parents have lived their lives with an open mind accepting both sides of the issues and living in complete harmony as indeed I have within myself.

    This blog is my humble effort to remove some of the misconceptions in the minds of the general Muslim brothers about Shia’ism and the common grounds between both these sects.

    In the bargain I come across the brainwashed fanatics within the Islamic sphere who I am not interested to change as their minds and hearts are sealed and brainwashed by their Mullah’s.
    It is these people and their extremist ideology and beliefs which they promote which states that either one follows their way of thinking orelse one is either doing shirk or the non-muslims are not worth living that has today given Islam a bad name.

    May Allah (swt) give all of us taufiq to evaluate between Right and Wrong and guide us to the right path. Ameen.

    Wa alaykum salaam Shaab bhai

    I will respond to you in English if you do not mind.

    Shaanbhai – the simple answer to you without getting into any detailed analysis of why we do what and the logic and reasons and the supporting hadith etc for it is…

    We are doing whatever we are doing…no one is asking you to do it….no one is forcing us to do what we do in memory and love of the Ahlul Bayt of our Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family).

    So brother Shaan…with you your aamaal and with us ours.

    If you are so keen to understand the ideology and what Shiasm is all about there are enough information on the internet…ofcourse there are enough material posting on my blog too….you just need to be open minded and take time out to read it….rather than expect someone to put things on a plate for you.

    One website I can advice you to visit and read is http://www.al-islam.org if you sincerely want to learn and understand what and where the Jaferia shias sect have come from.

    Hope I have given you enough food for thougth. Inshallah Allah (swt) will guide you if you truly believe you want to know the truth.

    As Salaam o Alaykum

    I am really glad to read all these Q&A and would like to congratulate Hasnain for all this good work. It really is an achievement to take time out and answer all these question and defending the true islam.

    I have 1yr old boy who shares the beautiful name Hasnain aswell and I was trying to find the meaning. As far as I know the meaning of Hasnain should be Handsome. The reason why I say this is as follows:

    As you are Mashallah aware the name Hasnain is short for HASSAN and HUSSAIN. They both mean Handsome, as Hussain is a Diminutive of HASAN meaning small handsome. So if both mean handsome then together it should be same.

    Keep up the good work and may ALLAH bless you.

    Wa alaykum salaam Brother Khurm

    Thanks for your best wishes.
    I am glad that you find the information shared useful. They are there for the open minded.

    Brother Shaan….you have sent a long message in urdu written in english…which I do not have the time to read or reply. Hence I am not going to approve it.

    Obviously people like you are not interested in seeking knowledge…rather criticize and find faults without taking account of yourselves….hence its a waste of time for me at least.

    I have replied to you quite comprehensively above and also given you links if you desire to learn the true Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (s) from non other than the Progeny of the Holy Prophet (s).

    However you and your like have taken your Islam from the 4 Imams called Shafi, Maliki, Hambal and Hanifi…none of whom were present during the time of the Prophet nor do they have a family or link to him.
    As a result you’ll reply on the reportings of Bukhari and Muslim while we take our Islam from the chain of narrators from the linage of non other but who our Prophet (s) had called the Gate of Khowledge….Imam Ali (a) who was the closest to our Beloved Prophet (s).

    I suggest before trying to understand what and why we Shia’s do – first you take time out and read about the authenticity of your sources and your above Imams and the Sahih’s which you’ll consider as second to the Holy Quran. You do not have to go too far – read it on my blog. Thereafter, read the Shia books and you will get your answers.

    But Brother Shaan…whatever you do…do not expect me to give you your answers on a plate…I am not obliged to do it…and I do not have the time. Search for the truth yourself …if your heart is sincere you will reach it…if it is not…then brother nothing in the world is going to change you.

    May Allah (swt) guide you!

    http://hasnain.wordpress.com/2009/01/10/azadaari-mourning-and-quran/

    This is a special link with another conscious attempt to prove to the adversaries the reasons why we the lovers and Shia’s (followers) of the Family of the Beloved Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) mourn at the calamities that have befallen him and his family after he departed from the world.

    My Ahle Sunnah wal Jamaat Brothers have forgotten or choose to overlook the following verse of that the Holy Quran has ordained that the recompense for the efforts of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) is love and affection for his progeny (a.s.)

    The Holy Quran states,
    “That is of which God given glad tidings unto His servants who believe and do good deeds; Say you (O Mohammed), I demand not of you any recompense for it (the toils of the apostleship) save the love of my relatives; and whosoever earns good, We increase for his good therein, verily Allah is Oft-forgiving, the Most Grateful.”

    May Allah (swt) guide the misguided…but HE alone knows what is in the hearts of HIS creatures.

    Shaan bhai,

    Instead of asking silly questions why don’t you investigate the religion yourself. I understand you do not have the BRAINS for it.

    Read the material available to you or go to some mosque and ask for the urdu collection, as english might be hard to grasp.

    You can even start from reading 6 famous sunni traditional books namely Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and al-Nasa’i.

    If you are honest in your heart and want to know the truth, then Allah will open your heart and you will see the truth.

    May Allah guide you.

    Nahid – Shaan and all those of you who expect me to be have nothing better to do in life but to answer your questions…

    My answer is the same for all of you…who are not actually looking for or interested in seeking answers or gaining knowledge or even making any effort to “think of of the box” and open your minds to what you guys have been brain washed.

    I have enough information posted on my blog and in my previous comments on various articles that clearly and with full evidence from non other but your sahih’s that answer every so-called question of yours.

    But the fact is you do not want to read them…
    And the fact is you do not and have not read your own Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim and the rest of the sources…otherwise you would not be asking me to spoon feed you….

    And I am sorry for sounding rude or frank…but I really do not have the time to baby sit you guys or spoon feed you…and neither is my intention to brain wash you into believing anything….

    The facts and the sources are laid all over…you have to be sincere to yourself – to your conscious and above all to your GOD and search for the truth.

    Inshallah Allah (swt) will guide you….you cannot fool HIM with your hidden agenda and hence if you are looking for answers in a sincere way and making some effort towards it…INSHALLAH HE WILL GUIDE YOU TO THE TRUTH AND HAQ.

    If the above is not something you want to do…then I suggest move on.

    Dear Hasnain,

    to add to your explanation of name “Hasnain” I would like to say that the word Hasnain means two Hasans. This may sound strange and the name of the other Imam was Hussein. However the word Hussein mean a smaller or younger Hasan,

    Hence Hasnain means two Hasans the first being Imam Hasan and the second being Imam Hussein ( The smaller or younger Hasan)
