Sayyid Ammar al-Hakim says, “We are followers of Hussain in the sense of the word, not just by name but by spirit, not just by supplication but by foresight, not by hoping.”
Sayyid Ammar al-Hakim has stressed that the sons of the Martyr of the Niche Movement are Hussainis in the meaning and not just by name, in spirit and not just by supplication, in vision not in anticipation, expressing his pride because the sons of the Martyr of the Niche Movement follow in the footsteps of al-Hussain (Ú) in word and in action, in creed, in methodology, stressing that Kerbala is the compass of the sons of the Martyr of the Niche at all critical moments, pointing out that this clarity in understanding the Hussaini issue will get the sons of the said Movement to bypass the tough stages. This came up in the speech of His Eminence on the anniversary of the 9th of Muharram which was held in Baghdad and 14 other governorates simultaneously on Saturday, November 24, 2012.
His Eminence stressed that the sons of the Martyr of the Niche Movement are Hussainis by outgiving and perseverance, and they understand the vision of al-Hussain (Ú) and follow his principles, attracting attention to working in tough circumstances, undertaking hard decision and staying firm while facing tough life are all Hussaini lessons. He stressed that staying truthful and with the truth is the truest evidence of loyalty to the methodology of al-Hussain (Ú), explaining that the Hussaini culture is supporting the nation’s plan with outgiving, without bargaining on the nation on this outgiving, regarding outgiving despite scarcity is an honor for the sons of the Movement of the Martyr of the Niche instead of being many and they take much, calling on them not to abandon their responsibilities though their supporters may be few, for this represents the Hussaini vision.
Sayyid Ammar al-Hakim called for investing Ashura saying, “Ashura must not bypass us while we drown in tears without we stop at the meaning of this great event.” He stressed that al-Hussain (Ú) did what he did in order to make for our life a meaning, for our destiny a goal, for our vision a plan, and for our plan a label, stressing that there is no label more honorable that that of al-Hussain, of loyalty to al-Hussain, of fusion into al-Hussain, calling on them to turn Kerbala into a label for unity so the nation’s plan may be saved. He pointed out to Kerbala of the past defeated falsehood, so let Kerbala of our day defeat division and dispute so it may create the unity of the goal, the unity of the plan, and the unity of the vision.
