Since then I’ve tried to learn a lot more about the history behind it, and the religion. Imam Hussein (a.s.) witnessed the deteriorating political and social situation and clearly recognized that the general policy of the authorities did not jibe Islamic principles. He was aware of the ummah’s numerous and painful afflictions, and was determined to exercise his religious duty, being the duly sanctioned leader and central figure capable of restoring Islamic values. To re-educating the ummah in line with Islamic laws and to rectifying deviation and putting in to practice the shariah. Also, breaking the wall of fear and terror that was imposed on the ummah and stirring the sprit of revolution and sacrifice in it. Thus he rose. His revolt is rich in lessons and divinely inspired attitudes. Imam Hussein embodied the sacrifice of self, money, family, social status and the challenge to terror and cruelty. He patiently traversed hundred of miles, moving both night and day. The epic protest he engendered come at the most critical political juncture. In fact, the prophet’s grandson had vowed to sacrifice himself. Eventually he was killed along with his sons, most of his household and all of his companions. The bodies were mutilated and their heads were carried from Karbala’, to Kufa and finally to Damascus. His womenfolk were taken prisoners and marched across the desert. He himself was expecting all that, but didn’t budge an inch. An uprising led by the noblest and best respected personality in the entire ummah. is certainly one which is uniquely distinguished as a movement abounding with spiritual, moral and religious ideals. Due to the importance of this personality, we are honoured to remark the most outstanding incidents of the dynamic Husseini movement, which stands unequaled in its greatness and fills pages upon pages of history. Such a sublime revolution has to be studied, dissected and fully understood. Lessons should be drawn from it. Here we note that the backward and downtrodden nations must one day follow in the footsteps of Imam Hussein if they are to challenge the despots. I hope that one day when you’re much older to understand political and global issues, you’ll write more on ‘this’ as much as you write on pheromones.😉 🙂 May God bless the future scholar. “The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr” - Prophet Mohammad ---
