Salamalykum,Today i was reading an reserch article written by Written by: Ayatollah Mohammed Yazdi. This is a beautiful research which i would like to summarise here. I hope our brother and sisters will read it to think....What is the real purpose of Majalis e husain(a.s)?
Ayatullah said "Three important members are involved in every majlis.
Organizer of the majalis (Convenor)
Participants of the majalis (Audience)
Preacher of the majalis (Khateeb)
First he picked the CONVENORS: and asked the Question to the different groups of azadar:-
The Question was Sir! What is the purpose for which you conduct these majalis?”
Result:
1)The upper class (of the society)
90% Majalis for customs and formalities 10% Majalis for the cause of Husayn (A.S.)
2)The upper most class consisting of noble and respected (persons
70% Majalis under social pressure and appearances’ sake30% Majalis for the cause of Husayn (A.S.)
3) The powerful and rich persons
70% majalis for regard of surroundings, friends and family30% majalis for the cause of Husayn (A.S.)
4) Other than these category:
80% Just to fulfill the obligations of trust 20% for the cause of Husayn (A.S.)
5) The inhabitants of villages or those who conduct weekly ladies and gent’s majalis and enquire.
90% of majalis for the sake of mediation with blind faith and in a useless way.10% though lawful (according to shariat) but having no concern with basic purpose of majalis.
This is the summary of the answers given generally by convenors of majalis. Of course we come across people who are well aware of the real object and meanings of majalis and they have their eye on the actual outcome. They give basic answers based on sensible reasons. They say “These majalis are means of our propagation (of Islam). Islam and meanings of Islam should be learnt in these gatherings. The facts about the ways and manners of life of Husayn (A.S.) and his ancestors (A.S.) should be propagated in the gatherings held in the name of Husayn (A.S.) because we conduct these majalis in the name of Husayn (A.S.) so that we can benefit by his teachings, learn a lesson from the sacrifice for the sake of Islam and Quran, the lesson of his fight against the oppressors for the cause of truth and freedom, and thus get near to God and his sacred book.”
Although it is true that people who give such answers do exist, they belong to an extremely small minority. These people are far less in number than those whose answers we have mentioned above. From the survey of the convenors and organizers of majalis-e-aza, on average seventy percent of them appear deviated from the actual aim and only thirty percent are aware of the purpose.
