Karbala Event as a Learning Experience for all Times
"The incident of Kerbala is never forgotten. This event can be a learning opportunity for all times."
Prof. Hossein Khneifer, the president of Farhangian Teacher Education University (FTEU).
Karbala is not just sword, fighting and death, it is not over, every single one of us sinks in and out of Karbala every day.
He called Karbala the shortest revolution in the world and the most victorious revolution that removed the 90-year-old Umayyad government. He described the epic, message and mourning as a triangle formed in Karbala. Connection between reason and emotion is a necessity in recognizing this event .
Preserving the originality and purifying the society from any filth and informing the people and enlightening the public opinion was one of the important goals of Imam Hussein (AS).
The heartbreaking uprising of Karbala is of great importance, especially among the Shiites. Because all movements and uprisings in the history of Islam originate from the life of Imam Hussein (AS) and the Ashura movement.
Regarding careful study of Shiite history and culture as a confrontation between truth and falsehood, nunnery and academy and shortcomings and truth, said: "Karbala is a field for displaying beautiful human behaviors and manners that anyone can learn from these behaviors." This event does not only belong to the Islamic world, but human society can be guided by understanding its lofty meanings.
Ashura is a comprehensive culture and offers areas and dimensions of honorable life for the human world.
Dr. Khanifar described distortion of facts, storytelling, far-fetched similes, exaggeration, metaphor, dangerous extremes, and strange adaptations as important factors in distorting the Karbala incident. He called the Karbala incident a movement and an evolutionary school. The movement of this event is towards perfection. Contemplation and hesitation in oneself and valuing every moment of life are among the valuable messages of the great uprising of Ashura.
