Ehsaee’s escape from Karbala
Bahaismiran:
After Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee had excommunicated by the third martyr in Qazvin city for the first time[1], he headed off towards Karbala. When the Ottoman government attacked Karbala and massacred Shiite people, he escaped towards Mecca[2].
Seyyed Kazem Rashti has stated: “He escaped towards a God who secures everybody who turns to Him. Sheikh escaped towards God, too and said: Escape towards God[3]. Then he turned towards Mecca for pilgrimage like the Lord of the martyrs (peace be upon him) who had escaped from the holy prophet’s (P.H.) holy Shrine towards Kaaba. So, Sheikh was defeated by the heavy-handed. He sold all of his goods and traveled with his family, his son and daughter and left me alone in this inferior tribe.
There are some notes in the writing:
1) Hajj is a religious duty done for approaching God not for the fear of Pharaohs of body of believers. As if, he has had covert intention.
2) Sheikh’s travel has been assimilated to Imam Hussein’s (P.H.) one to save the religion of Islam[4] because he had came out of Medina city; while Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee had to came out of Karbala.
3) Seyyed Kazem Rashti has called all Shiite people and the religious authorities as hoodlums as he said “He left me alone among hoodlums†and also Seyyed Kazem Rashti has called the Shiite people and sources of religious authorities as Pharaohs of the body of believers.
