Qualities of a true Warrior of Imam (as)
Burair-e-Hamadani (as) was among many other Sahabis of Imam Hussain (as) who use to recite a complete Holy Quran daily. It is mentioned that he was a very serious kind of a person. He hardly used to smile or interact with other people unless required. But in Karbala on Shab-e-Aashur, it was this Burair (as) who was very happy and was continuously smiling and talking with other Sahabi-e-Husayn (as). Someone asked him, “Why are you so happy today? It was you who never use to smile enough and now when you are going to die tomorrow, you are laughing.” He replied, “Don’t you think this is the best day when Jannat is awaiting us, Allah (swt) is happy with our deeds and Bibi Fatima Zahra (sa) is praying for us.”
Moral: We must daily recite at least 50 ayats of Holy Quran. Also, we must be happy when we think our Allah (swt) and our Imam (as) is happy with us. Our happiness should be based on our Aakhirat and not this world. May Allah (swt) give us taufiq to be as our Imam (atfs) wants us to be like. Elahi Aameen!
