From now on I will make myself mad."

nothing is scarier than a girl’s mind when she doesn’t have 30 different hyperfixations working concurrently to insulate her from any tangible complete thoughts

1. This is the letter of Hussain. You who called out labbayk, where are you?

2. Take me from myself and give me You in return

3. Last night I dreamt of father once more

4. Two pages from the book of patience of Zainab

5. Every drop of my blood is your soldier

6. From Mojtaba's throat, I will let out the battle cry

7. The sermon was thrown toward the heavens

8. You fell and my world fell apart

9. This wounded flag is the pillar of the heavens

10. That there is One and nothing except Him

If you feel stuck in your affairs, that your sins have piled up too high, that your heart has become too hardened for repentance, knock on the door of Husayn (ع). Sit and listen to the lamentations of those mourning his tragedy, and feel your heart soften. Remember what he sacrificed for the preservation of Truth, and allow yourself to weep. Seek Husayn's ع recourse to God, and see what favor and kindness is conferred upon you.

— Ayatollah Bahjat (r)
