Al-Husain (‘a), called out to them saying, “Be patient, O cousins! By Allah!After today you shall not meet any hardship at all.”[698] The assailants were comprised of ‘Awn Ibn ‘Abdullah, son of Ja’far at-Tayyar and thewise lady Zainab, his brother Muhammad son of al-Khawsa, ‘Abdul-Raman Ibn ‘Aqil IbnAbu Talib,[699] his brother Ja’far son of ‘Aqil, and Muhammad son of Muslim Ibn‘Aqil.[700] As many as eighteen wounds were received by al-Hasan II son of Imam al-Hasan, [older]grandson of the Prophet (S), and his right hand was cut off, but he was not martyred yet. Abu Bakr son of the Commander of the Faithful (‘a),[701] whose first name wasMuhammad,[702] came out and was killed by Zahr Ibn Badr al-Nakh’i.[703] ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Aqil now came out and kept fighting till his wounds overwhelmed him, sohe fell. ‘Uthman Ibn Khalid al-Tamimi took advantage of the situation, walked to himand killed him. Arabs are not only names for glory The sons of ‘Amr are only offspring, 
 
For there is for Prophethood a crown And for the Imamate a necklace worn. Two ornaments none but they can wear  How can you a wearer with a bare one compare? From Shaybat al-Hamd descended youths who Happily marched to support the creed  Neither arrogantly nor for a show. They smile as the heroes frown Showing pearls their front ones. Like ships they sailed to the war  And ships are only their vanguards. Had happiness not been their goal
 
 I would not have left any of their foes at all. They do not mind as the swords clamour  With warriors covering the plain like an armour. And the lances collide and sound And the arrows vary in their round, And heads get severed from their shoulders And chests are arranged in their insolence.[704] Al-Qasim and His Brother  Abu Bakr, son of Imam al-Hasan son of the Commander of the Faithful (‘a), came out.His first name was ‘Abdullah al-Akbar [‘Abdullah senior] and his mother was an “ummwalad”[705] named Ramla.[706] He fought till he was killed.[707]

Assalamo alaikum. Remember, the incident of karbala took place 70 years after Deen Islaam was completed. This incident is tragic. But it absolutely has got nothing to do with "Deen". What change has come to Islaam? Should the momineen stop namaaz, roza, huj, zakat, qurbani or other orders after the sad incident of karbala?--No! not at all! The "Deen" is the same "Deen' as it was at the........

The "Deen" is the same "Deen' as it was at the time of the Prophet(S). Whatever some people do in remembrance of this incident, is not at all Islaam. It cannot be proved on The Revealed Authority(Quraan).---The incident of karbala has not made any change in Islaam. The very sad incident of karbala has got no relationship with Allah's Deen "Islaam".

So no, we shouldn't stop with our other Wajibaats, but use this tragedy as a way to remind ourselves of how important they are :)

Hmmm... well, tbf it may not be wajib to mourn the tragedy of Karbala, but surely if by remembering this event, grieving for the martyrs and swearing that we would have helped them save if Islam, if we had been there at the time, we cannot be doing a bad thing. It is not part of religion, it just reminds you of how important our Deen is.
