With broken hearts full of grief and eyes full of sorrow and tears , the servants of the holy shrines of imam Al-Hussayn and Al-Abbas (peace be upon them) commemorate the anniversary of the martyrdom of the seventh of the pure Imams, the prosecuted wrongfully, the entombed unjustly, the tortured in the bottom of jails and darkness of cells, the one whose leg was bruised by the rings of chains, whose funeral was called with calls of humility of belittling, the poisoned oppressed Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (peace be upon him).

The Holy Shrines have prepared to commemorate this occasion and as usual in the recall and the commemoration of occasions, births and martyrdoms of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them). a condolence program including several parts that reflect this calamity that befell lovers and followers of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) before 1252 years. Both shrines of Aba Abdillah Al-Hussayn and his brother Aba Al-Fadl Al-Abbas ( peace be upon them ) have been covered with black expressing the heartfelt sorrow at such tragedy, and then started receiving numerous condolence processions and visitors that are coming from inside the holy city of Karbala and beyond, to offer their condolences to Imam Al-Hussayn and his brother Aba Al-Fadl Al-Abbas (peace be upon them) as well as holding a series of religious lectures speaking about the greatness of this personality and what he presented to Islam and Muslims, as well as a brief summary of the oppression and injustice that he suffered from under the Abbasid regime.

Among those condolence events, the condolence procession of the servants of the holy shrines in Karbala which started from the courtyard of the Master Aba Al-Fadl Al-Abbas (peace be upon him) led by the symbolic coffin of Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (peace be upon him) heading towards the courtyard of the second grand son of the prophet (Peace and Allah's Mercy be upon him and his holy lineage) Imam Al-Hussayn ( peace be upon him ) passing through the courtyard between the Two Holy Shrines, chanting lamentations that describe the outrageousness of this tragedy and finally arriving to the courtyard of the Master Abi Abdillah Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) for setting up a condolence council where they were reading elegies and some threnodies, with the intense presence of the visitors who were performing their rituals in the holy shrine.

If we cast a glance at history, we will observe the dynamic role of Imam Al-Kadhim (peace be upon him in promoting justice and materializing human values. And without the least doubt Imam Al-Kadhim (peace be upon him) was a shining luminary who continues to glow radiantly till this day as Bab al-Hawa’ej or the Gateway of Needs. The patience and forbearance of Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (peace be upon him) was such that he was given the title of Al-Kadhim meant Restrainer of Anger or Emotions, since he (peace be upon him) was subjected to very harsh treatment and periods of imprisonment by the tyrannical Abbasid regime. He (peace be upon him) was the embodiment of virtue and generosity. He (peace be upon him) devoted his nights to the prayers of God and his days to fasting. He (peace be upon him) always forgave those who did wrong to him. His kind and generous attitude towards the people was such that he used to patronize and help the poor and destitute of Medina and provide for them cash, food, clothes and other necessitates of sustenance secretly. It continued to be a riddle for the receivers of gifts throughout the Imam's lifetime as to who their benefactor was, but the secret was not revealed until after his death.

Our seventh Imam (peace be upon him) in spite of the restrictions upon him spared no effort to enhance people’s awareness and uplift their intellectual status. Succeeding his father Imam Ja’far as-Sadeq (peace be upon him) whose famous school of Medina contained 4000 scholars including the Father of Chemistry, Jaber ibn Hayyan. Imam Al-Kadhim (peace be upon him) also groomed various scholars in different branches of science. One of these disciples was the brilliant rhetorician Hesham bin Hakam.
