[English Subtitles] Martyrdom of Zuhayr ibn Qayn al-Bajali(A) – Draft Workprint
In His Name, the Most High
Dramatization of the Martyrdom of Zuhayr ibn Qayn(A) one of the heroic companions of Aba Abdillah(A) Imam Husayn(A) on the day of Ashura (Muharram 10, 61AH) against the forces of the despotic tyrant Yazid ibn Muawiyyah headed by Omar ibn Sa’ad and Shimr ibn Dhil Jawshan on the plain of Karbala in Iraq.
This portion shows the night of Ashura when Aba Abdillah(A) removed any obligation to remain from the companions and the candles were blown out. It shows the heroic statements of Zuhayr ibn Qayn(A) to the army of Yazid and in particular to Ibn Sa’ad and Ibn Dhil Jawshan. It shows his fight, and the break he requested for prayers.
It shows that famous prayer of love that imam Husayn(A) led his followers in while a barrage of arrows from the Army of the enemies of Allah fell upon the prayers.
Ultimately it shows the final stand of Zuhayr ibn Qayn(A) against the forces of evil and his ultimate martyrdom.
Video dramatization taken from the excellent Mokhtarnameh produced by Iranian TV and Radio, directed by Davoud Mirbagheri(HA). Subtitled by Shabbir R Hassanally on behalf of Inspire Pictures Limited.
This is a draft workprint, and the subtitles are draft. They are reasonably accurate, but have no been proofed. As it’s Muharram it was felt that getting this online with subtitles that conveyed the meaning was a priority.
We ask that Allah hasten the return of our beloved Master(AJ), the grandson of Aba Abdillah(A), al-Hujjat ibn al-Hasan al-Askari(AJ), may our souls be his ransom), and alleviates our suffering. Ameen, Ya Rab al-Alemeen.
Labbayka Ya Husayn(A)
