Hijab and Modesty at Karbala

The Eleventh of moharrum was the most terrible day. On this day Sakina a.s. was forcibly separated from the headless corpse of her father. The cruel enemies beat her with canes and spears to take her away from her beloved father`s body. At that moment she did not complain that the enemies were hurting her or that she is dying of thirst.
Her only complain was, "Father these people have taken away my chadar ! Father! Arise and see that I am without chadar. These people are beating Aunt Zainab (s.a.) with canes."

O my sisters ! Come let us seek guidance from Karbala, which is the best centre for learning modesty, shame and chastity. Let us act upon the lessons taught by Imam Husain (a.s.) and be not content just by weeping on the oppressed ones of Karbala
