Imam Hossein (as), the second son of Imam Ali (as) and his wife, the prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) daughter Fatemeh Zahra (sa) is known as the saarallah (the blood of Allah). His martyrdom at the hands of the people of Kufa, near Karbala in Iraq in 680 AD marks the most significant event in the Shi'a calendar. The life and martyrdom of Imam Hossein (as) had impacts on the Mulsim world and in particular on Iranians who have special affection for the Imam. Look how the Iranian Marxist activist and poet, Khosrow Golsorkhi, starts his defence in the military court in 1971, by his great praise for Imam Hossein (as) and his campagin against injustice. Rumi (Molavi) remembers them in his poetry:
کجایید ای شهیدان خدایی
بلاجویان دشت کربلایی
کجایید ای سبک روحان عاشق
پرندهتر ز مرغان هوایی
کجایید ای شهان آسمانی
بدانسته فلک را درگشایی
کجایید ای ز جان و جا رهیده
کسی مر عقل را گوید کجایی
کجایید ای در زندان شکسته
بداده وام داران را رهایی
کجایید ای در مخزن گشاده
کجایید ای نوای بینوایی
درین بحرید کین عالم کف اوست
زمانی بیش دارید آشنایی
کف دریاست صورت های عالم
زکف بگذر اگر اهل صفایی
دلم کف کرد زن نقش سخن شد
بهل نقش و به دل رو گر زمانی
برآی ای شمس تبریزی ز مشرق
که اصل اصل هر ضیایی
Iranians great respect and affection for Imam Hossein has its roots in Imam's first wife, Princess Shahr Banu, the younger daughter of Yazdegerd the 3rd who was chosen as a suitable wife for his hounger son by Imam Ali (as). The eminent Harvard professor and researcher Dr Ahmad Mahdavi-Damghani has done extensive research on this topic and has proven that Shahr Banu was indeed Imam Hossein's wife and therefore all the other nine Imams of the Shi'a sect had Iranian blood in their veins and their ancestry can be traced back to the kings of the Sassanid era and the kiani traditions.
Dr Mahadavi-Damghani has been a proferssor of Islamic sufism and Arabic lterature at Harvard School of Divinity and university of Pennsylvania since 1987 (see the vdieo).
Iranians have mourned the tragedy of Karbala in the most emotional ways even by the leaders of the Sialmic regime who have betrayed all Imam Hossein's (as) Ideals and principles:
Imam Hossin in Karbala (recreation):
This is the most famous prayer for Ashura:

صد روز دگر برو چو امروز
بشکاف سر و بکوب دنده

هی بر سر و ریش خود بزن گل
هی بر تن خود بمال سنده
هی بر سر خود بزن دو دستی

هی گو که حسین کفن ندارد

Shahrbanu is a myth -- 2
by Fesenjoon2 on Sat Nov 26, 2011 03:45 PM PSTSays Encyclopedia Iranica:
"According to the oldest sources that have come down to us, the historic mother of the fourth Imam was not much of a princess. Ebn Saʿd (d. 844-45) and Ebn Qotayba (d. 889) describe her as a slave, originally from Sindh, called Ḡazāla and/or Solāfa."

Shahrbanu is a myth
by Fesenjoon2 on Sat Nov 26, 2011 03:42 PM PSTEncyclopedia Iranica writes:
"Neither do any of the scholars of ancient history that have chronicled, at times with great attention to detail, the invasion of Persia by Muslim troops and the fate of the last Sasanian sovereign and her family, establish any relationship between the wife of Imam Ḥosayn and one of the daughters of Yazdgerd III."

Re: From Rumi to Golsorkhi
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Sat Nov 26, 2011 03:23 PM PSTI was not around to know Rumi or Ferdowsi in person.There is ample evidence that claims Ferdowsi was a Shia are false. And were manufactured.
I was around and do know of Golesorkhi. He was insane. Using a "divaneh zanjiri" as example hardly gives credibility to the person. Islamist Marxists were a confused and crazy lot. Prime idiots who helped bring about the IRI and MEK.
Besides I make my own mind and don't need anyone to tell me.

Why Shiism is a Kiani tradition
by salman farsi on Sat Nov 26, 2011 03:00 PM PSTIn Sunnism Khlelafat is by election and not hereditary. Iranians due to their love for Imam Hossein and thanks to Salam Farsi, owned Shiism and in the same way that their kings were succeding each other in a hereditary way the Imams of Shi'a who had Iranian blood in their veins adopted the tradition of their royal Persian fathers and until the twelfth Imam (atf) the leadership was from Imam to his son (usually the elder son). You may not like it but you can't keep denying it, Imam Ali in Al Hossein (as) also known as Imam Sajjad, was the son of Imam Hossein and the Persian princess Shahrbanu, Shahrbanu was sent to Iran and waiting for Imam Hossin to arrive in Iran after visiting the people o Kufa and sttle in Iran. Unfortunately Yazid (la'enallah Alaih) aborted Ismam Hossein's trip and the tragedy of Ashura took place.

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Sat Nov 26, 2011 02:14 PM PSTYou may want to mourn an Imam others have different views. I absolutely do not buy there is anything Kiaani about Shia. To me it is a caricature; a distorted image at best.

This is no time to debate politics. The month of Muharram is begining and with it a new lunar year. We are here to mourn the death of a Shi'a Imam who was the son in law of the last Persian king of the Sassanid dynasty, Instead you are condeming Islam. Don't you realize that the Shia Islam has Perisan;kiani roots?
