Experiencing Love | Ali Reza Panahian
Husayn (as) will take you with himself…
[Imam Ali (as) said,] “Loving God is like fire. It doesn’t pass by anything without burning it.” If you want to experience this, God has given you the opportunity. Where? Love for Aba Abdillah al-Husayn (as). When can we experience it? From the moment when affection for him starts a fire in our heart and we see we are nothing when we are with him. Even if you want something when you go to his mourning ceremony, in the middle of the elegies, you suddenly see you don’t need that certain thing anymore. Even you yourself are not important. See how you burn for Imam Husayn (as)! You can experience it there.
You experience this love there. Then Imam Husayn will take your hand and take you to the main goal. Husayn (as) is God’s servant. Sow how God Himself will affect our heart! You may ask, “Is God oppressed like Husayn (as) that I will burn for Him like I burn for Husayn?!” Don’t think you burn for Husayn (as) because he was oppressed. Don’t make this mistake. It’s your love for Imam Husayn (as) that causes you not to be able to tolerate him being oppressed. Don’t even think that since he was a good person [you burn for him]. Are you able to understand these things?! I can’t! I can’t understand people’s goodness, so how can I understand Imam Husayn’s goodness? Imam Husayn (as) was no different from Imam Hasan (as). Don’t mention imaginary reasons.
God has gifted you this love and said, “I wanted you to experience a love.” That is the heat we feel in our heart due to Imam Husayn being killed [according to the traditions]. This heat is a small experience in love. Experience this and whenever you go to the mourning ceremonies, tell God, “God, is it possible for me to fall in love with You one day, for the curtains to move aside so that I burn for You?” Is it possible? Yes! Yes!
