The clearest example [of God giving blessing to a martyr’s blood] is the case of the pure blood of Imam Hussain (pbuh). The enemies tried very hard to reduce the splendor of Muharram this year, but they did not succeed. This year’s Muharram and Ashura were more fervent, more spirited, and more enlightening than all previous years. This is the work of God that the Karbala tragedy, which took place in a desert and which happened in less than a single day, created a flame that has been growing more and more throughout history
