I was in my late teens. Deeply troubled, with a severe sense of existential and philosophical loneliness. I was raised in a religious family, but I had fallen into a crisis of meaning and spirituality. Those were difficult days.


It was during this time that I discovered a music group: Vetr. A group whose songs are about Imam Hussain. Since childhood, I had known Imam Hussain and loved him, but this group's songs introduced me to him in a different way. Through their songs, I fell in love with him...


My difficult days continued and remained hard until just a few years ago, because such a profound crisis isn't something easily resolved. But amidst those recurring storms, Vetr's songs would carry me, even if just for moments, into the warm embrace of my Imam. This continuous connection with Imam Hussain gradually led me out of the dark whirlpools and toward the beautiful light of his existence.


That salvation... it was as if all my life I had only seen glimpses of light, then I became blind, and then I was healed. After that, I feel deeply indebted. I want my entire life to be for Hussain.


Now, when I listen to Vetr's songs, what I feel is not loneliness. With Hussain, no one is ever alone. What I feel is a sense of longing—a yearning for anyone who has not experienced this love. I think of all those young people like my former self, worn down by their solitude. I think of all those lost in existential crises, searching for a sure foundation. I wonder to myself, if someone were to encounter a love like this, wouldn't their wounds begin to heal? If one had an anchor this steadfast, could the storms of life ever truly break them?


I say this because I know that every human being, in the depths of their soul, thirsts for a connection like this. I have found this treasure, and I feel a profound sense of loss for those who are deprived of it.
