Everywhere is Karbala and Everyday is Ashura

Question: Asalaamu Alaikum Dear Sayyidi, can you please expand our understanding of what is meant by, “Everywhere is Karbala and Everyday is Ashura”

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the statement “Everywhere is Karbala and everyday is Ashura” holds deep spiritual significance. This statement reflects the eternal struggle between truth and falsehood, light and darkness, and the ongoing battle between good and evil in our lives.

In Sufi teachings, Karbala and Ashura symbolize the ultimate sacrifice and unwavering devotion to the Divine. The events of Karbala, particularly the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (as) and his companions, serve as a timeless example of standing up for truth and justice, even in the face of oppression and tyranny.

By saying “Everywhere is Karbala,” Shaykh Nurjan emphasizes that the struggle of Karbala is not confined to a specific time or place. Rather, it is a universal and timeless struggle that manifests in various forms in our daily lives. It signifies the continuous battle between the forces of righteousness and the forces of corruption, which each individual must navigate.

Likewise, the statement “everyday is Ashura” underscores the perpetual nature of this struggle. It reminds us that every day presents us with opportunities to embody the spirit of sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering faith in the face of adversity. Just as the companions of Imam Hussain (as) displayed unparalleled courage and steadfastness on the day of Ashura, we are called to emulate their noble qualities in our daily lives.

Therefore, Shaykh Nurjan’s teaching encourages us to approach each day with the same determination, courage, and commitment to truth as the noble figures of Karbala. It serves as a reminder that the values exemplified in Karbala are not confined to history but are timeless principles that guide our spiritual journey.

May we draw inspiration from the legacy of Karbala and strive to embody the virtues of sacrifice, truth, and unwavering faith in our daily lives. Ameen.

And may we always seek the love of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), perfect our character, and be of service to the Tariqa and others.
