Winning Without Victory

If you want to see someone lose everything and still win
If you want to read about incredible story of perseverance
If you want to hear of true friendship and loyalty
If you want to witness how can men battle without water for three days?
If you want to be reminded of miracles
If you want to know the greatest sacrifice of all time
Then see the book of history and travel 1,400 years back in time
Then read what became of the cousin of Jesus (p.b.u.h.)
Then hear the name Husain, the grandson of the last Prophet of God, Muhammad (p.b.u.t.)
Then witness how he sacrificed his sons and self, for the repentance of
you & me
Then you’d be reminded of the victims of Kerbala and their helplessness
Then you’d know the secrets of winning without victory

by S. Ali Zaidi
p.b.u.h stands for peace be upon him.
p.b.u.t. stands for peace be upon them.
