[0:08]After years of disappearing from the media Haaj Basim Karbalaei appears in

[0:14]an interview prepared by his fans Via his official social network accounts

[0:25]Within a single week, there were eight hundred questions asked about different

[0:29]issues And here is Haaj Basim Karbalaei replying to his followers' questions

[0:51]INTERVIEWER: Tell us about Basim Karbalaei In the name of God, the

[0:55]Most Gracious, the Most Merciful I was born in the holy city

[1:00]of Karbala, in the year 1966 I am married to an Omani

[1:04]woman and I have four children INTERVIEWER: Do you wish to return

[1:08]to Iraq, if so, which city would you like to reside in?

[1:13]I do wish to return to Iraq, speifically to the holy city

[1:15]of Karbala, and that is very soon To serve my master Aba

[1:18]Abdillah al-Hussain (as) I want to live and die in Karbala INTERVIEWER:

[1:22]Why did you name your son Ali?

[1:25]Just like Aba Abdillah al-Hussain (as) as he is recorded to say:

[1:32]If I had a thousand sons, I would name them all Ali

[1:36]INTERVIEWER: Was allowing your son to participate in your albums a successful

[1:40]idea?

[1:41]In reality, I thought the studio duet was successful and took it's

[1:48]resonance And wherever I went, like in Karbala, I took my son

[1:53]Ali with me two weeks ago My fans would notice him and

[2:00]all turn to him to take photos, and talk about his participation

[2:07]INTERVIEWER: Do you plan to bring your son to recite with you

[2:11]live on the pulpit?

[2:12]The intention is there, and I plan to bring him up with

[2:15]me on the pulpits in the holy shrines in Iraq INTERVIEWER: Did

[2:19]you have a son called Mohammed Hussain?

[2:22]If so what is his story?

[2:24]Yes, I was granted a son by the name of Mohammed Hussain

[2:33]in 1996 and he died in the year 2000 INTERVIEWER: Will you

[2:51]return to producing albums outside of the Muharram and Safar seasons?

[2:56]I do hope so, but due to the increase in Majalis, and

[3:01]the fact that I am always travelling from one country to another

[3:06]I am forced to only stick with producing albums for the months

[3:13]of Muharram and Safar INTERVIEWER: How do you go about tuning your

[3:19]eulogies?

[3:20]All my days are Hussain, my day and night is Hussain, so

[3:24]I'm always thinking of the case of Imam Hussain (as) I am

[3:29]required to make a tune for each eulogy before it is written

[3:36]by the poet Thus I think of tuning everyday, throughtout the whole

[3:42]year, there is no day that passes that I am not recording

[3:48]a tune INTERVIEWER: Why have the tunes of this era become more

[3:53]fast in contrary to the more slow classical tunes?

[3:57]The reciters that came before us, May Allah have mercy on their

[4:02]souls, like: Watan, Abdul-Redha, Hamza al-Zighayir, Sheikh Yassin They used to recite

[4:13]only in their own towns and cities The situation now has changed,

[4:21]I am in a different country everyday When I go for example

[4:26]to Bahrain, I see that they're folklore is much faster, and so

[4:31]I can't catch up with them I can't find myself reciting the

[4:37]tune in it's correct speed Hence I am forced to recite in

[4:42]a faster manner Then I come to Iraq, in Iraq it is

[4:46]slightly slower I go to Iran, I see it goes back to

[4:52]the classical style So I have to cater for each situation, each

[4:59]country I visit has it's own style and speed INTERVIEWER: Why are

[5:07]your on-screen appearances very limited?

[5:09]Especially Television interviews?

[5:11]I like to go by the phrase: "Less talk, more action." INTERVIEWER:

[5:16]Is there a disagreement between you and the poet Jaber Kathemi?

[5:21]There is a disagreement, and I'm keeping it with me, until the

[5:33]afterlife INTERVIEWER: Will the duo, Basim Karbalaei and Jaber Kathemi ever make

[5:38]a comeback?

[5:39]I don't think so, after I started working with other poets Like

[5:45]how I got people used to the duo, it's now been seven

[5:51]years since I started reciting for more than thirty poets Every poet

[5:58]has his own style, culture and his own way to serve Imam

[6:07]Hussain (as) Even if I remember a poet with a single poem,

[6:14]maybe this single poem becomes the cause behind opening the path for

[6:18]him, in the service of Imam Hussain (as) You see there are

[6:22]numerous poets that have many poems, but they say we have no

[6:27]name, no one knows us, unless you (Basim) recite for us So

[6:31]I see it as an obligation upon myself to recite for him

[6:35]INTERVIEWER: Working with new poets, has that added something to the Hussaini

[6:41]eulogy?

[6:41]Change happens with diversity, each poet differs from the other Each poet

[6:48]has a different way in looking at history, and so each poet

[6:54]will come up with a new image And so here, it's like

[7:00]colours, when you gather all the colours, you get a beautiful image

[7:05]But if you stick to a single colour or two, you will

[7:07]be limited INTERVIEWER: How do you go about choosing your poems?

[7:12]Because I've read a lot of eulogies, when I read a poem,

[7:19]I always search for new imagery, something I haven't come across before

[7:26]A new spirit in poetry If you're a famous poet or not,

[7:35]that does not affect me Some poets wrote for me, but I

[7:44]did not recite their poems I worked with many poets, some very

[7:51]known, but I still have not recited their poems INTERVIEWER: Does the

[7:58]name or position of a poet affect your revision of the poem?

[8:04]Impossible.

[8:04]I revise all my poems, unless the situation at the time is

[8:13]very tight But even if my time is limited, I still try

[8:19]make sure I learn the poem by heart, I can never recite

[8:23]a poem without knowing what has been written Most of the eulogies

[8:28]I recite, I go through them with the poet, I make some

[8:34]changes sometimes With all the poets, I have changed a lot, at

[8:38]some point some of the choruses have actually been mine And some

[8:41]of them, the idea is mine, this is the approach I have

[8:45]taken INTERVIEWER: What is the reason behind the decrease in the production

[8:49]of video clips, especially in the time where suitable eulogies exist?

[8:52]In reality, the last eulogy that we recorded, which was last year

[8:58]"Innocence of Love" The quality of that production was nice, and I

[9:07]think the video reached more than ten million views I wouldn't like

[9:13]to go below that standard and produce something lower than that production

[9:17]The production has to be elegant in all it's aspects INTERVIEWER: Basim

[9:22]Karbalaei is a servant of Imam Hussain (as) that is very popular,

[9:28]many speak about you negatively, what do you think of this?

[9:33]Firstly, I always advice myself, but I would like to say to

[9:40]every servant of Hussain (as): My reply is to the servants of

[9:45]Hussain (as) Our situation isn't easy when it comes to serving Imam

[9:51]Hussain (as) Tuning has it's own world that is very wondrous, poetry

[9:55]is another, where the poet takes some time to come up with

[9:58]something Searching behind a letter, word or subject, to sort the poem

[10:07]So you come and see the world of tuning, the world of

[10:10]poetry, and then the reciter takes the poem and tune He goes

[10:14]up the pulpit, then when he comes down, you see in the

[10:18]end he is extremely exhausted and sweating Then one of the believers

[10:22]comes along and says Basim is tall or Basim is short or

[10:26]Basim doesn't suite me Hence I say: I am not satisfied if

[10:29]you talk behind my back, so you do not speak INTERVIEWER: Is

[10:33]there a future plan to launch a satellite channel exclusive to you?

[10:38]The idea exists, and we strive towards it INTERVIEWER: Will you fulfil

[10:44]your idea of opening a Hussaini school that helps improve the voice

[10:48]and exhibit talent?

[10:49]I have been holding this idea for more than four or five

[10:56]years I met with many different groups in and outside of Iraq

[11:02]I am striving to reach this goal I hope from Hussain that

[11:11]I can bring up a generation An organised generation, aware of the

[11:18]melodic modes, knowing what to present on the pulpit INTERVIEWER: Many say

[11:25]you use musical instruments in your albums, what is your reply?

[11:30]My productions, sad or joyful, that are recorded in the studio are

[11:39]all music free All of the sounds you here are human voices

[11:44]You might see the sound engineer play the tune that I have

[11:52]made Then a group of youth enter the studio and record the

[11:58]melody with their voices However the instrument never stays in the track,

[12:03]and the sounds are all human voices INTERVIEWER: What do you rate

[12:07]the participation of children with you in your albums?

[12:10]Did it succeed or does it need more time?

[12:13]We need a period of time, so we can bring up a

[12:18]generation that comes out in the correct image in the service of

[12:22]Hussain (as) This generation, whether it is my son Ali, or any

[12:28]other child For the strive towards the service of Imam Hussain (as),

[12:36]this child needs some time to practice for perfect results So I

[12:43]have to go down to him, and bring him with me and

[12:46]create a duo, whether in the studio or on the pulpit I

[12:50]have to give him some space, so he can see the light

[12:55]INTERVIEWER: Is your idea to record eulogies in different languages successful?

[13:01]I see them as successful, and many people encouraged me towards them

[13:04]INTERVIEWER: Is there an idea to record eulogies in languages that you

[13:08]have not worked with yet?

[13:09]I do have the French and Turkish languages in my head INTERVIEWER:

[13:18]Why have your participations in the Gulf countries decreased?

[13:22]And who decides where you recite?

[13:24]I decide where I recite, inside Iraq or outside Why have I

[13:32]not been around a lot in the Gulf?

[13:36]That is Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman or Qatar That is due to Iraq

[13:44]and it's situation post the invasion INTERVIEWER: What was your feeling when

[13:51]you found out that you will be buried near Imam Hussain (as),

[13:55]in his shrine?

[13:56]In honest fact, I was very pleased, but it is the strongest

[14:00]rumour I have ever had INTERVIEWER: Many accuse you to recite for

[14:05]money and prestige, what is your response to this?

[14:09]In terms of the prestige that I am in, and the name

[14:14]I hold, this is an honour for me and I am very

[14:19]proud of it Because it came to me from the blessings of

[14:23]Mohammed (pbuh) and his holy progeny, and my service to the master

[14:26]of martyrs As for the money, in all my life, I do

[14:33]not remember ever requesting anything from any Hussainiya or Centre, be it

[14:40]a dollar or a million dollars INTERVIEWER: What is your opinion on

[14:45]the matter of Tatbir (striking the head with a sword)?

[14:47]I am not a Marja' (Shia authority), but I support Tatbir, and

[14:52]support all the symbols of Imam Hussain (as) INTERVIEWER: Do you have

[14:57]any problems with any scholars?

[14:59]I am not a scholar nor a Marja', I am a servant

[15:03]to Imam Hussain (as), and I do not have any problem with

[15:07]any Marja' or scholar INTERVIEWER: Tell us about the secret of the

[15:11]success of Basim Karbalaei Success is a cycle of connected rings One

[15:16]of the rings, is the obedience of the parents Before my father

[15:22]passed away, he used to weep and pray for me And my

[15:29]mother who is still alive, says to me, by God when you

[15:32]place your hands on dust it shall turn to gold for you

[15:36]INTERVIEWER: If you see Imam Hussain (as) face to face, what would

[15:41]you read to him?

[15:43]I would request from my master Imam Hussain (as) to request me

[15:48]to recite a specific poem for him INTERVIEWER: Who is closest to

[15:54]you from the Infallible personalities?

[15:57]I was very close to my grandmother Her day came and she

[16:13]passed away I spoke to my mistress Lady Fatima Zahra (as) and

[16:20]said to her: From today you are my grandmother, and until this

[16:24]very day And until this second, when I ask from her, she

[16:29]never sends my wish back INTERVIEWER: Do you feel you service to

[16:33]the Ahlulbayt (as) is accepted?

[16:34]And how do you feel this?

[16:36]I was invited in Damascus, Syria The majlis was in the Shirazi

[16:50]Hawza I went up the pulpit, I recited for just over an

[17:01]hour So I came down To keep away from the audience, as

[17:07]they were applying pressure to the stage and pulpit, there was a

[17:10]door near the pulpit I went down through the door to the

[17:15]basement I saw my situation changed, I reached the stage of death,

[17:20]I was feeling death I told one of the brothers, if they

[17:27]could find me a ride to my sister's apartment So he got

[17:34]me a ride and I went to my sister's place.

[17:39]She welcomed me, and I told her I needed to sleep as

[17:44]soon as possible So I slept, but in the process of trying

[17:48]to get to sleep, I started speaking to Imam Hussain (as), I

[17:51]told him what more do you want me to do?

[17:54]Because I was feeling death, I can feel my heart, my breath,

[18:01]everything So I fell asleep I saw Hussain (as) I saw Hussain

[18:28](as) come to me running Running.

[18:31]He wasn't walking, and along side him around a hundred million scholars

[18:42]And I knew from them two scholars, and I can't bring their

[18:47]names One of them was walking with him, and the other running

[18:51]in front of him saying 'O' master you have honoured us' 'O'

[18:56]master please come this way'.

[18:58]The whole street was filled, packed with millions of scholars Then I

[19:04]suddenly woke up, and I felt there was nothing wrong with me

[19:08]and I continued my day normally Then I completed the third night

[19:14]of the Majlis as this took place on the second night So

[19:20]these are the blessings of Imam Hussain (as) INTERVIEWER: When do you

[19:24]start you preperation for your eulogies, and how long does it take?

[19:28]All my days consist of a new tune or three, I'm always

[19:36]tuning And with the presence of modern technology, like the phone and

[19:43]sound recorders I record my tunes, then what remains is my observation

[19:48]of the general situation, whenever I have a program I prepare myself,

[19:52]by listening to the tunes and which tune suits which majlis Does

[19:59]this Majlis require a sad tune, so I work on that When

[20:06]I make a tune, I start by just tuning the chorus The

[20:12]verses come after it easily, the hardest bit is the chorus Just

[20:19]like writing poetry, if you ask poet: when does a poem become

[20:24]complete?

[20:24]He says when I write down the chorus Same goes with the

[20:32]tune, as soon as I tune the chorus, I can easily tune

[20:36]the verses Hence I watch out for the occasion, for example if

[20:41]it's Ramadan, I do not need very sad tunes You have the

[20:46]anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Ali (as) So we need intense

[20:54]and enthusiastic tunes Not on the sad side so much Thus throughout

[21:03]the year my tunes are ready before I begin with an occasion

[21:11]INTERVIEWER: There are some that take your eulogies in other Majalis, do

[21:17]you mind?

[21:18]Personally, the eulogy that I recite on the pulpit, it is not

[21:24]mine anymore, it becomes Imam Hussain's (as) So I give permission to

[21:29]every servant of Imam Hussain (as) to recite them wherever he likes

[21:33]INTERVIEWER: How does a upcoming reciter learn how to recite from a

[21:39]melodic perspective?

[21:40]My teacher did not teach me the melodic modes, infact he did

[21:46]not even know them I used to ask him about eulogies, and

[21:51]how they were recited, he was older than me, and had heard

[21:56]many reciters Hence I used to seek his help, and most of

[22:01]my poems, I used to write them by hearing them of cassettes

[22:06]I used to practice the eulogy, exactly how I would hear it

[22:09]being recited I would perform it at the same level I would

[22:16]hear it more than ten times, so when I performed, I had

[22:21]owned the eulogy It's been printed in my mind, so when I

[22:27]perform, I was comfortable They used to hear me in my beginning

[22:30]days, they used to say, Hamza (al-Zighayir) did not go, he is

[22:32]present INTERVIEWER: In your opinion, who is your successor after you?

[22:40]In reality, let me be honest in this matter There are beautiful

[22:48]voices, performances, concentration, poetry The blessings of Hussain (as) are present in

[22:54]every servant of Hussain (as) As for the successor, it remains until

[22:59]this day...

[23:00]INTERVIEWER: What makes a Majlis differ to another majlis in your opinion?

[23:05]If I wanted to recite the slow eulogies, and hear the right

[23:12]melody, then it would be with the chest beaters in Iran If

[23:17]I wanted the Karbalaei heat, and some speed, then it would be

[23:23]Bahrain If I was looking for good chest beaters that gather all

[23:30]these characteristics, that have a good understanding in poetry, then it would

[23:36]be Kuwait And finally if I wanted the spirit and memories of

[23:41]Imam Hussain (as) then it would be in Iraq INTERVIEWER: Have you

[23:46]been short with participating with any Arabian countries or any other countries?

[23:51]I went to the United States for two consecutive years I went

[24:00]to the United Kingdom atleast twenty or thirty times Last year in

[24:08]2014 I went to China to revive the birth of Imam Mehdi

[24:23](ajtf) Countries like Iran, countries in the Gulf, I've been to Sweden,

[24:31]Holland, Denmark and Norway I have served the servants of Imam Hussain

[24:37](as) in all of these countries INTERVIEWER: Are we going to hear

[24:43]Haaj Basim Karbalaei recite Quran besides the Hussaini eulogies?

[24:48]I do hope so, and request your prayers INTERVIEWER: A word to

[24:53]your followers I say to you: I thank you all, and my

[24:57]first prayer goes to you Prepared by: Abdullatif Khaledi Interviewer: Mirza Hussain
