Your books never taught you about the high regard with which so many great men and women authors, historians, presidents, Nobel Prize winners, artists, etc held Hussein. Although victor in resistance and the stand against in justice, Hussein did not live to speak of his victory. The survivors did, the people who witnessed his head being marched through their cities did, and the families of those martyred did.
Still, your children will probably never read a famous history book about Islam that included the Battle of Karbala. It won't be a story you think of when you remember the greatest battles of mankind.
However, you should know it, our children need to learn about it. It teaches us more than how to combat ISIS and stand up to any injustice. We can learn from it feminism, ethics, morality, and unity.
Even if we don't want to teach our kids and our students about Islam and Hussein, we can remove the religious factor of the equation and what remains is a story that has brought people to tears for centuries. The Lebanese writer Antoine Bara once wrote, "No battle in the modern and past history of mankind has earned more sympathy and admiration as well as provided more lessons than the martyrdom of Hussein in the battle of Karbala.
Ask yourself, if the Battle of Karbala can teach us so much about standing against the image of Islam that the world and media hold today, then why don't we ever learn about it?

Irshad al Sari Volume 10 page Bab ul Fitan states clearly that Yazeed was happy at killing Imam Husayn as and his disrespect of the family of Rasulullah s is a proven fact.
Thus, reports which show that Yazeed was very happy at the martyrdom of Imam Hussain as but later altered his opinion and became sad shall not assist the present day Nawasib since the sadness letter expressed by Yazeed was not on account of remorse for his unforgivenable sin but was to a response to the public opinion that had swelled against him.

But despite this, the Ibna i Sad, fearing the revolt of his forces in the sympathy of the Imam at once ordered Hurmula to answer Hussain. They tyrant shot a three pronged arrow from his bow which after piercing the Imams arm got stuck in the tiny arm of the innocent baby. The son of the Second 2nd Holy Imam, Imam Hasan, a young boy, who ran out of the tent to save Hussain when he being martyred, and was martyred before the Holy Imam.
He had come to Kufa from Medina, and joined the Imam. His wife also accompanied him to serve the Holy Ladies. When Abdullah was martyred his wife sitting at the dead body of her husband said: -. O Abdullah! Thou hath entered Paradise, take me along with Thee. The good Lady had not finished her lamentations when a slave of Shimar delivered a blow on her head with an axe and she was martyred.
The joined the noble Imam and were martyred. The eighteen 18 year old son of the Imam who resembled the Holy Prophet the most, was martyred by a lance pierced through his breast. Here is sent in Thy way, the one who resembleth the most with Thy Prophet Muhammad, whenever we did desire to have a view of the Holy Face departed away from us, we used to look at the face of this Youth.
These two 2 boys were the only young boys of about nine 9 and ten 10 years of age. At the persistent implorings from his sister the Imam permitted, and these two 2 young souls were martyred before the eyes of their mother. This lady after being liberated by the Imam was married to a gentleman and brought her son Qarib and presented him to the Imam, and he was brought up by the Imam.
He was martyred along with the other devotees, offering himself in the way of the Lord! When the young Qasim aged fourteen 14 years, son of Imam Hasan sought, permission to go, it is reported that Imam Hussain remembered the wish of his brother, Imam Hasan, that one of his daughters be wedded to Qasim.
At the same time when Qasim presented to the Imam Hussain a closed note, written to him by his father Imam Hasan to be opened in the worst calamity situation, in which was written addressing Qasim My dear son Qasim when your Uncle Hussain is besieged by his enemies from all sides and when every true lover of God and the Holy Prophet, lays down his life, defending the cause of truth, you sacrifice yourself for the cause on my behalf.

An aged veteran who had earned a glorious name and fame for his valour and prowness against the infidels. When on the Ashoora Night, the Holy Imam told his companions to find their own ways and save themselves from the wholesale massacre of his supporters, which was in store for them the following day, he said to the Imam: -. He came to Karbala and got martyred. He came to Karbala and presented himself to the Imam and got martyred.
Is still as fresh, which time has failed to quell In every heart this day a new pain appears And of your sufferings men each other tell They see a vision through slow falling tears Of that lone battle where athirst you fell. From: ashah bass. Look at the heads atop the spears and the eyes that are full of tears. Husayn has gone and his sister is alone, and her lonely sight is so hard to bear. It will touch so many hearts of stone but her suffering, so few shall share.
The daughter of Fatimah is full of sorrow. In her path, so many woes have been steered. The world has seldom seen such a bold woman. So courageous and without a spec of fear. But this day, she is without her brother.
And no comfort seems to be near. The people present, do nothing but stare. For the victims, everyone should shed tears. This lady is not afraid to loose her life. She speaks out against cruelty, without fear.
On hurting the innocent, the cruel are bent. But these wicked plots fail and she perseveres. She faces calamity with her spiritual strength. She is anguished, but holds back her tears. Imam Hussain sacrifice himself and companion, followers and family members for Islam. Yazeed L wants to change the islam as per his own wish and Hussaim ibn Ali take strong stand against his wish and in favor of islam.
Imam Hussain win the battle of Karbala. Imam hussain was not defeated his son ali zainul abedin was alive and so on now sayedi mufaddal saifuddin is alive he was never defeated. Imam was not defeated he sacrificed his entire family for the goodwill of humanity my suggestion to the writer is to Google Karbala and he will know who is the winner.
And he was not going for war he was travelling with his family and kids and no one goes for war with family and kids my dear writer please be careful do some home work before publishing such statements.
Yazid is a rogue,scoundrel,illegal person he killed Imam Hussain who was the grandson of our holy prophet s. It was a incident of peak of brutality.
S was camping in the desert along with there family members including women,children and few male companions and all of them were not equipped as they were traveling to Kufa with family for preaching only.
I suppose you have no knowledge of what defeated means! Imam Hussain never pledged his support or loyalty to tyrant of his time Yazid. If Yazif and his forces were successful in killing Iman Hussain and his companions but no more anyone knows about them, they perished! But the Legacy of Hussain continues to inspire millions and millions each year.
Yazid and his forces were destroyed by History! Hussain istil rules millions of hearts! So please before writing something without having an insight perspective is wrong. Victory to saviour of Humanity! Completely agree with Inzemam hussain,, please do edit that hazrat hussain RA was not defeated he knows about it since child hood.. The blogger must be from the lanati progeny of lanati yazeed….
Lanat on you oupblogger…curse on you and your family. Please have some corrections: Imam Hussain a. He sacrificed his progeny for Islam. And women and little daughter and neice at otherwise but a dastardly act of cowardice by yazid and still they had broken the rule of battle instead of one to one battle they sent to attach each one.
Still writer need more info to correct his wrong statement. Islaam was there and still is here Yazid was there and Hussain is still here. Say who stands defeated.
