In this video, H. E. Sayyed Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah discusses the true purpose of Imam Hussein's uprising, stating that it was not meant for self-injury, such as hitting heads or injuring backs, but rather to confront and fight enemies and reject corrupt traditions. The expectation is for followers to uphold the message with its civilizational meanings, elevate human capacities like knowledge, science, intellect, and Jihad, and prove that Islam represents the core of civilization. The Sayyed also expresses a desire for the Imam's intercession (shafa′a).
