Despite his martyrdom, my family will endure until the Day of Judgement through him.

Meaning of حُسَیْنُ مِنِّی

Dear Islamic brothers! The Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

حُسَیْنُ مِنِّی  وَ اَنَا مِنْ حُسَیْن

Ḥusayn is from me and I am from Ḥusayn.

This means, “Ḥusayn and I are two bodies, but one soul. Love for me is love for Ḥusayn, and love for Ḥusayn is love for me. Whoever attempts to battle Ḥusayn actually attempts to battle me.”

Remember! Via prophetic foresight, the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was aware of Imam Ḥusayn’s upcoming fate on the plains of Karbala. This is why he exhibited such immense and profound love for his grandson.^[1]

The virtues of loving Imam Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم also said:

اَحَبَّ اللہُ مَنْ اَحَبَّ حُسَیْنًا

Allah loves he who loves Ḥusayn.^[2]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه Dear Islamic brothers! Think about this for a moment! Having heartfelt love for Imam Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ has such excellence, that whoever loves the imam becomes a beloved of Allah Almighty.
