I'm not usually a fan of documentaries, but I made an exception for this one. It's on a topic which I can never get tired asking questions on because I really do want to know more to understand it. And it is usually in the month of Muharram that I become more interested in it.
It's on Imam Hussain (AS). And while Googling more about it, I came across this video posted on youtube. It was entitled Karbala - When Skies Wept Blood, a production by redtears. I figured out form there that this was a documentary on Imam Hussein's massacre and those hardships faced by him and his family. The one thing I absolutely love about this video is that it talks about everything and not just Imam Hussain.
We all know that we're not allowed to see like caricatures or any sort of drawings or depictions on these Imam's because we don't know for sure what they look like. In this video, I admit there a few depictions on thier silhouettes but that's it. Regardless of that, the majority of the video basically talks about from when Prophet Muhammad died all the way to on the 10th day of Muharram i.e. Ashura and all he happenings till then.
Its in English and therefore, easier, actually much, much easier to understand than the preachings we hear in the masjid. I'm not saying I don't understand the preachings in the masjid, I do but this is definitely way more clearer. I would encourage everyone to watch this. I cannot deny the fact that I had tears in my eyes listening to the story they were saying.
I understand that there are many versions to the story of Imam Hussain, but I guarantee that this one is 99% as accurate as the ones we have been constantly hearing in masjid. I don't know when this video was released or if any of you knew about this before I found it, but it is a definite must-watch. Period.
