Second son of Fatima (SA) and Ali (AS), Hussain (AS) was born on 3rd Shabaan, 4th year of Hijri (626 AD). When he was born the Holy Prophet (SAWW) was given the bulletin of the birth of his 2nd grand son. He arrived at the house of his daughter, took the little baby in his arms, and said the Azan and Iqamah in his ears. Persons about the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.W tears in his eyes. BIBI Fatima A.S asked what the origin was for this, he told her that this boy of hers will attain martyrdom, but supported her by adding that ALLAH will create a nation who will mourn Hussain till the Day of Judgment. Additional famous saying of the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.W at the same time became synonymous with the name of his grandson Hussain. “Hussian-o-Minni wa Ana Minul Hussain”. Hussain (AS) is from me and I am from Hussain. One can explain this Hadith that Hussain, being the grandson of the Prophet was from him biologically? How a grandfather was from his grandson needs to be explained. Prophets of ALLAH speak internally rather than materially. He was talking about Islam the Deen he was assigned by ALLAH to propagate God’s religion. He was for Islam and his whole life was for Islam and its launch on earth. Any break in this mission would subvert this mission which was the purpose of his creation. The message of the Holy Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.W in this saying was that Hussain A.S will, in some close future save this mission from demolition; 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. The layer of Karbala unfolds.
