sacha ali zaidi

This moment highlights a grand theme of history: the willingness of the Mola Hussain AS to sacrifice his own safety and preserve the sacred Kaaba, while Yazid who was by force holding power illegally was willing to desecrate the sacred to preserve his position. 4/4

Mola Hussain AS is fully aware of the conspiracy. He realizes that the sanctity of the Holy Kaaba, where even harming an animal is strictly forbidden, is about to be violated with his blood. He makes monumental decision to convert his Hajj to Umrah. 3/4

Today is 5th Dhu al-Hijjah, 60 AH. The holy city of Makkah is buzzing with thousands of arriving pilgrims, completely unaware that a plot to kill Hussain AS is unfolding in the shadows. Yazid’s secret agents had breached the city walls 1/4 #HussainsJourney #GrandTarikh #OnThisDay

While the world prepared for the rituals of Hajj, Imam Hussain AS prepared for the ultimate sacrifice, choosing truth over silence. On the 7th of Dhu al-Hijjah, the final choices made. 3/3

For Imam Hussain AS, these were not mere political messages, but a sacred and divine call to act. Meanwhile, Yazid’s governor Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad had quietly entered Kufa in disguise. He started unleashing terror, executing Mola’s loyalists, and crushing resistance. 2/3

Today is 6th Dhu al-Hijjah. As the streets of Makkah filled with pilgrims, over 12,000 letters from Kufa reached Imam Hussain AS pledging allegiance and begging the grandson of the Prophet ﷺ to lead them against tyranny. 1/3

Imam Hussain AS was leaving the safest place on Earth to face an uncertain desert. He chose sacrifice over safety, proving that rituals without truth and justice lose their soul. Tomorrow, the journey begins. 3/3

The Imam said it was better to be killed outside the sanctuary than have the sanctity of the Kaaba violated with his blood. But at the same time in Kufa, Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad had sealed the roads, trapped people under terror, and began crushing them. 2/3

7th Dhu al Hijjah. Makkah stood ready for Hajj, but Imam Hussain AS made shocking announcement in a historical public address: He will not complete the Hajj rituals and is leaving for Iraq. Why? Yazid’s assassins had infiltrated the city. 1/3

I have stayed out of active politics. But this cannot go without being said. They couldn’t beat you at the ballot. So they illegally incarcerated you. They tried to finish your party. They even took away the symbol. When that didn’t work, they stole the whole election. Now they want to raise the voting age to 25. If an 18 year old can take a bullet for this country, why can’t he be allowed to vote? This is not policy. This is panic. They fear you and it does not get more naked than this. @ImranKhanPTI

Over the next few weeks, we will live through the agonising timeline of Imam’s final journey out of Makkah toward eternity. Follow along as we retrace the exact footsteps that shook the world. Tomorrow, the shadows deepen as Yazid's covert agents breach the city. Stay tuned

Today, the holy sanctuary of Makkah is filling with thousands of arriving pilgrims. But beneath the surface, a tense countdown has begun. Imam Hussain (A.S.) has spent months here under sanctuary, but the political shadows are rapidly closing in.

History is not a collection of random events; it is a single, unfolding arc. To understand the tragedy of Karbala, we must understand that the threads of this sacrifice began long before 60 AH. It was the culmination of an eternal struggle!

“And do not consume one another’s wealth unjustly, nor give bribes to authorities so that you may knowingly consume a portion of others’ wealth sinfully.” (Al-Baqarah 2:188) Gul Plaza did not burn by accident. It burned after 18 years of theft, corruption, and criminal neglect in Sindh, where SBCA functions as a bribe factory, illegal buildings are approved without fire safety, and outdated systems are ignored until people die. The truth is stark: Karachi would have been completely helpless if @ImranKhanPTI had not provided 50 fire tenders. This is not mere mismanagement. This is state-enabled crime. The blood is on the hands of those who rule and those who protect them. Rulers who loot are oppressors. Their enablers are partners. Silence in the face of corruption is complicity. Accountability in Islam is not political. It is moral, legal, and divine. Heartfelt condolences to the families who lost their loved ones and livelihoods. May Allah grant patience to the bereaved and justice to this city.

“And We shall set up the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be wronged in the least.” Qur’an 21:47 No Prophet (Peace Be Upon Them) ever claimed immunity. No Khalifa exempted himself from accountability. Every divine faith is built on the belief that no soul is above judgment. Heaven, Hell, and the Day of Reckoning all exist for this reason. When divine scripture and law exempt no one, then how can a constitution written by man dare to do so?

TO THE LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD: You had once banned Modi for his crimes. Then you watched in silence as he took over India, the world’s largest democracy. Driven by RSS/Nazi ideology, this fascist is attacking sovereign neighbours and dragging South Asia to the brink of a dangerous war. Just like he oversaw the massacre of thousands of Muslims when he was CM of Gujarat, Modi tonight even fired missiles on his own citizens. Till now Pakistan has shown restraint. BUT THAT ENDS NOW. We don’t want war, but it is being forced on us. UNDERSTAND THAT WE WILL FIGHT TILL OUR LAST BREATH. SO ACT NOW. TOMORROW WILL BE TOO LITTLE TOO LATE!

Modi: Your Navy is not sailing into a Bollywood set. This is the Arabian Sea, and Karachi isn’t some soft target. It’s a fortified port with eyes on every ripple. If you’re looking for another fight, don’t be surprised if it reaches your own shores. Sail off carefully before your entire western coastline, from Okha to Visakhapatnam, lights up in flames. You have no idea what our Navy is capable of. Trust me. I know. #PakNavy #PakistanZindabad

None of us can comprehend this level of heartbreak. My god
