==============================
On the Day of Judgment, we will meet Aba Abdillah al-Husayn (as). God willing, they will take us to be in his presence. A question will arise within us due to his innocent, mystical, loving look. He won’t ask it directly. That question is, “What have you done for Husayn (as)?” Husayn (as) gave whatever he had. What have you done for Imam Husayn (as)?
Have you seen how people like to give whatever they have for Imam Husayn (as)? No one is ever satisfied he’s done enough, no matter what he has done [for the Imam]. Husayn (as) went through a lot for us. Are we able to compensate? He travelled through the plains and deserts with his family. Shouldn't we hold a mourning ceremony with our family? Shouldn’t we spend a few minutes for him?
I want to say something that may not seem polite. I wish we would suffer when we held a mourning ceremony. Then we would say, “O Aba Abdillah al-Husayn (as), we suffered because of you. But Husayn (as), whenever we hold a meeting for you, we enjoy it. This is our entertainment. Then we owe you more. What can we do for you? You hugged your child and went into the battlefield. Then you had to throw his blood up into the sky a few minutes later. Your tolerance was finishing, so you said, “This tragedy is easy for me, because God is watching.”
We hug our children and stand at the door of mourning ceremonies. Whoever comes shows affection to our child. Our children say, “What a pleasant meeting it was. Everyone was kind.” But you and your family went to Karbala. And the story unfolded in a way that your daughter begged you, “Don’t leave us alone.” The events were such that Sukayna said, “Return us to the shrine of our ancestor.” Whenever we participate in a mourning ceremony, afterwards we stand in front of the door in order to take our family back home. If we hold a mourning ceremony at home, we are honored even more. [O Husayn,] how are we able to compensate for your efforts? [Holding ceremonies] increases our dignity and spiritual enjoyment. O Aba Abdillah, how can we answer your kindness? What can we do for you, O Husayn (as)?
See how some people mourn in the mourning ceremonies. It’s as if they want to compensate somehow. But it’s impossible. Imam Husayn (as) will make up for you right away. Any step you want to take for Imam Husayn (as), he lets you taste its sweetness right away. He doesn’t leave it for the Hereafter. No one is thinking of the Day of Judgment in a mourning ceremony. Imam Husayn (as) makes up for whatever you do right away.
