As Salaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barkaatuh!
The early history of Islam
is replete with examples of men and women who patiently put up with all
sorts of persecution and willingly laid down their lives for the sake
of truth. However, the later-day Muslims needed a more stirring example
to serve as an eternal reminder that social and political ills cannot
be held in check without paying a really heavy price. Allah willed that
this supreme example be set by the grandson of the Messenger of Allah.
The martyrdom of Hazrat Husain
has a significance of its own. He stood firmly, against overwhelming
odds, for what he believed to be the right cause in the interest of
Islam. He had no delusions about the outcome of the struggle. But the
grim outlook only added to the strength of his resolve.
The supreme sacrifice of Hazrat Husain exalted him to a position of glory,
which the mightiest of emperors might well envy. Hazrat Husain
became a symbol of the eternal struggle of right against might.
Whenever and wherever men feel overawed by the forces of evil, their
thoughts turn to Hazrat Husain. They take heart from his example and carry on
the fight with a renewed faith.
A Brief Historical Account of Events Leading to the Martyrdom of Imam Husain
r.a. Al-Husain was the second son of Fatima, the daughter of Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh), by her husband Ali, the fourth Khalifah. A brother to Al-Hasan(r.a)
The Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) said,
"Both
of them are my children and the sons of my daughter. O Allah! I love
them both. So you too, love them as well as those who have love for
them."
Imam Husain ibn-i-Ali stands
out as the beacon of light throwing his pure and lustrous effulgence
attracting the votaries of Truth and self-sacrifice. The noblest
martyr...

My Lord!
Grant me that I should be grateful for Thy favor
which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents,
and that I should do good
such as Thou art pleased with,
and make me enter, by Thy mercy,
into Thy servants, the good ones.
Aameen, Ya Rabb-ul-Aalameen!
