Ahmadinejad and the TIME SQUARE

When Iranian president Ahmadinejad announced his visit to NPT summit in UN in USA, there was a great deal of disturbance in the US establishment. They new Ahmadinejad is going to raise some issues like Israel Nukes and USA Bomb banks ,... Than out of nowhere , a car found in the Time square loaded with fuel, so amateur so foolish that a passing by vendor located it (hearing tik tak from distance, maybe a Wall clock time bomb!!!) which let all the channels be diverted from the summit. And more interestingly after astonishing Speech of Iranian president, the second old stereo type drama came on screen, "A PAKISTANI PLOTTED A BOMB IN USA". Don't they have a creative imagination, and come up with a better story. still we just don't get it and announcing our full support to investigate.

Martyr (Zaid ibn Ali & Yahya ibn Zaid)

Historians of both Shi'is and Sunnis recorded that when Hisham ibn Abdu'l-Malik became the caliph, he committed many atrocities. With regard to the Bani Hashim, he was particularly cruel. At last, Zaid ibn Ali, well known as a great scholar and a pious theologian, went to see the caliph to seek redress for the grievances of the Bani Hashim. As soon as Zaid arrived,

the caliph, instead of greeting him as a direct descendant of the prophet, abused him with such abominable language that it can not be repeated. Because of this disgraceful treatment, Zaid left Syria for Kufa, where he raised an army against the Bani Umayyad. The governor of Kufa, Yusuf ibn 'Umar Thaqafi came out with a huge army to face him. Zaid recited the following war poem: "Disgraceful life and honourable death: both are bitter morsels, but if one of them must be chosen, my choice is honourable death." Although he fought bravely, Zaid was killed in battle on the 2nd of Safar in 120 A.H. at the age of forty-two by Yusuf ibn 'Amr ath-Thaqafi (the Umayyad governor). His son, Yahya, took his body from the field and buried him away from the city near the river bank, causing the water to flow over it. However, the grave was discovered and, under Yusuf's orders, the body was exhumed, Zaid's head was cut off and sent to Hisham in Syria. In the month of Safar, 121 A.H., Hisham had the sacred body of this descendant of the Prophet placed on the gallows entirely naked. For four years the sacred body remained on the gallows. Thereafter, when Walid Ibn Yazid ibn Abdu'l-Malik ibn Marwan became caliph in 126 A.H., he ordered that the skeleton be taken down from the gallows, burnt, and the ashes scattered to the wind. This accursed man committed a similar atrocity to the body of Yahya ibn Zaid of Gurgan (or Jowzjan). This noble man also opposed the oppression of the Bani Umayyad. He too was martyred on the battlefield. His head was sent to Syria and, as in the case of his revered father, his body was hung on the gallows - for six years. Friend and foe alike wept at the sight. Waliu'd-din Abu Muslim Khorasani, who had risen against the Bani Umayyad on behalf of Bani 'Abbas, took his body down and buried it in Gurgan (or Jowzjan). In Sarakhs however, there is a site of pilgrimage at Miyami

ZAIDI's
People with the last name Zaidi, are purportedly the direct descendants of Prophet Muhammad's great-grandson Imam Zain-ul-Abideen whose real name was Ali ibn Husayn, which basically means Ali son of Husayn. Zaidi (or people belonging to this family) can be found all over the world especially in Iran and Indo-Pak subcontinent. Some Zaidis are known as Wasitis. Zayd ibn Ali was martyred in Kufa, Iraq, many of his descendants either returned to al-Hijaz or remained in Iraq. Some of those who stayed

in Iraq settled in Wasit. Some descendants from Wasit then moved to the Indian subcontinent. These Zaidis believe in twelve Imams and are part of Twelver Shiism. Most of them settled in India and Pakistan.[1] The largest group of Zaidis believing in twelve Shia Imams is known as Saadat-e-Bara. Saadat means descendant of the Prophet Muhammad and Bara means twelve in Hindi and Urdu. There are many interpretations of word bara and many spellings are current: Bara, Bahera, Barha (as spelled in Tuzuk Jehangiri and Akbarnama and other Moghul sources) and Bahira meaning "bright" in Arabic language. One explanation of the word is as mentioned above; another is that there are twelve villages in Muzaffarnagar District and their residents were called Sadat Barha. This explanation is mentioned by the Emperor Jahangir in his autobiography Tuzuk-e-Jahari or Memoirs of Jahangir. Living outside of imperial camps and not indulging in hedonism of court life is another explanation of the term, as these families never mixed up other noble families of Moghul court, most popular belief about Barha epithet is that they live in twelve villages in Muzaffarnagar district. These Sayyeds are descendants of Abul Farah Wasiti who came to India from wasit (Iraq) in the 11th century along with his four sons who settled in four villages of Punjab, Kundli, Chhatbanur,Tihanpur and Jajner giving names to all four clans of Sadat Barha. Kundliwals mainly live in Mujhera, Hashimpur, Valipura, Saifpur, Sikrehra, and Khujera Chhatraudies live in Sambalhera, Kakrauli, Morna and Kaithora. Their numbers are highest in Karachi (Pakistan) and Muzaffarnagar (India).
