It is Muharram today. The day of remembrance for the Muslims of the world. On this day Muhammad Paigambar and his whole family was killed by his enemies. They died martyrs' death. And, in death as well, hey did not deviate from their beliefs.
This may be a great sacrifice for Muhammed Sahib and his family. The Paigambar was trying to set up a civil society in what might have been a chaotic community. One would like to believe that what He called caphir is not the believer of another faith, but the non-believer, in His commands towards a civil society.
However, what is astonishing is, besides Hinduism, most of the other religions demonstarte their heroes as martyrs! The Hindu Gods and deities have always won wars against the evil. The gods won against the demons in Dev-Asur Sangram, even if they needed help from the Gods (Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh). Ram killed Ravan, and Krishna helped decimation of Kauravas. Narsinh Avatar also killed the Hiranyakahyap, and the Varah avatar salvaged the earth from the deep sea.
It has always been the proverbial victory of good over bad. Not so in the Islam or even in the Christianity. While we see the Paigambar sahib facing all sorts of trouble and pain and fnally being killed, Jesus also is hanged. He resurrects not to defeat the evils but to tell the world He was the Son of God.
Is it not strange that these faiths do not highlight the victory of good over bad but only pain in the oath of good, and God? It is rather shocking. Some mythological error at some time in History?
Hope anyone reading this post has an answer.
