=== Majlis 3: Janabe John ===
Janabe John was sent as a gift from Abu Dharr Ghiffari, to the household of Hazrat ‘Ali and Bib Fatimah. In the company of Hazrat ‘Ali he learnt the tafseer of the Quran and traditions of the [[Prophet|Holy Prophet]]. He also knew the Holy Qur’an by heart. When Hazrat ‘Ali was martyred, John stayed with Imam Hassan and after Imam Hassan's death he stayed on with Imam Husayn. The battle of Karbala’ started. One-by-one, Imam's friends took permission to go for Jihad. One-by-one Husayn's companions were martyred. John was very pleased with himself as he got permission and headed for the battlefield. He wanted to wake up the enemies and remind them of the truth, but Yazid's soldiers were evil. They were not Muslims. They were not prepared to listen to the truth. Janabe John was attacked. Arrows were fired from all directions. John fought the Jihad bravely.
