Roza Pak: Karbala e Moalla Shareef, Iraq.

Shahadat: 10 Moharram, 653m 61 AH, Oct 10, 680 CE.

Four Phases:
a. With the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬, nearly 6 years.
b. Approximately 30 Years at the service of his Father, Hazrat Imam Ali ‫ كرم ا ووجهو‬.
c. 10 Years along with his brother Hazrat Imam Hassan ‫عليه سلم‬.

Hazrat Sayyiduna Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬is the beloved son of Hazrat Sayyiduna Ali ‫ كرم ا ووجهو‬and
Hazrat Bibi Fatima ‫ رضي ا تللعاللىَ عنها‬and the most Beloved Grandson of Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬.
He was born on the 5th of Sha'baan in the year 4 AH in the house of the Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬,which
presented the best image of both the Worlds - the Heaven and the Earth - a child who benefited
humanity as if he was Divine Impression reflecting the earth. Our Beloved Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬gave the 'Azaan'
(Muslim call to Ritual Prayers) in his right ear and the 'Iqaamah' (Call to Establish the Congregation fo
Ritual Prayers) in his left ear. His father was Hazrat Imam Ali ‫ كرم ا ووجهو‬, the best model of kindness
towards his friends and the bravest against the enemies of Islam, and his mother was Hazrat Fatima tuz
Zahra ‫رضي ا تعالﯽﯽعنها‬, the only Daughter and Child of the Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬who had, as universally
acknowledged, inherited the qualities of her Father. Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫عليه سلم‬, is the third Apostolic
Imam,then Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬made 'Dua' (Supplication Unto Allah ‫ علز وجلل‬for him.
On the 7th day he was named Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬and his 'Aqeeqa' (the child's head is shaved on the 7th Day
symbolizing Sacrifice) was performed. Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬commanded Hazrat Bibi Fatima َ‫رضي ا تللعاللى‬
‫ عنها‬to remove his hair and to give silver in charity equivalent to the weight of the hair.

Hazrat Hassan ‫ عليه سلم‬and Hazrat Hussain ‫عليه سلم‬, the two sons of the Holy Hazrat Imam Ali ibn Abi
Talib ‫ كرم ا ووجهو‬and Hazrat Bibi Fatima ‫رضي ا تعالﯽﯽعنه‬, our Lady of Light, were respected and
revered as the "Leaders of the Youths of Paradise" as stated by the Holy Prophet ‫ﷺ‬.
Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬was without doubt a very handsome personality. From his chest down to
his blessed feet he was the image of Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬, whereas his elder brother Hazrat Imam Hassan
‫ عليه سلم‬was the image of Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬from his chest up to his blessed head. The blessed face of
Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬was so bright that it would even shine in the darkness of night.
Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬was taught by Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬, Hazrat Bibi Fatima ‫ رضي ا تعالﯽﯽعنه‬and
Hazrat Ali ‫كرم ا ووجهو‬. Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬loved Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬due to his piety and pure
heart.
The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬was also aware that the time would come when his Beloved Grandson would
save the Ummah from destruction at the hands of a corrupt and tyrant leader.
Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬loved Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬dearly. Hazrat Umar Farooq ‫ رضي ا عنه‬said,
“Once, when I presented myself in the Court of Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬I saw that he was walking on his knees
carrying Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬on his blessed back. When I saw this, I said, “Your mode of
transport is most splendid. On hearing this, the Beloved ‫ ﷺ‬replied, “O Umar, the passenger is also very
splendid.”
Hazrat Ya'la bin Marwaa ‫ رضي ا عنه‬reports that Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬said, “Hussain is from me and I am
from Hussain. Whosoever has kept Hussain as his beloved, Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬is his beloved.”
Hazrat Jaabir ibn Abdullah ‫ رضي ا عنه‬states, “I heard from Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬, “Whosoever wishes to see
the leader of Paradise, he should look at Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬ibn Ali ‫كرم ا ووجهو‬.”
Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬was a very kind, gentle, generous, merciful and Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ه‬
fearing personality. He always cared for the poor and oppressed, assisted the helpless, gave comfort to
those in pain and sorrow and showed great love and affection towards orphans. He was the
embodiment of the character of his Grandfather Sayeduna Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬and of his Blessed Parents.
His tolerance and patience was also exemplary. This was manifested by the fact that his martyrdom had
been foretold by the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and even though he was aware of this, he still made 'Sabr'
(Patience) and waited for the Will of Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬to take its course. Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫عليه سلم‬
was also blessed with bravery of the highest degree and this bravery and fearlessness was manifested
on many occasions, particularly during the Battle of Karbala.

The following incidents should give us a glimpse of the exemplary personality of Hazrat Imam Hassan
‫ عليه سلم‬and Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫عليه سلم‬:
Once, Hazrat Imam Hassan ‫ عليه سلم‬and Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬wrote some words in calligraphy on a
'Takhti' (Board used for Learning how to Write). After they had completed writing, they both told each
other that the other's writing was better. They could not come to an agreement as to whose writing was
better, so they took their work to Hazrat Ali ‫ كرم ا ووجهو‬and asked him to make the decision.
He looked at their work and asked them to take it to their mother Hazrat Bibi Fatima ‫رضي ا تعالﯽﯽعنه‬.
She looked at their work and said that the best person to make such a decision would be their beloved
Grandfather Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬.
Both brothers then went to the Court of the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬, who looked at their work and said,
“This decision will be made by Hazrat Jibra'eel ‫عليه سلم‬.
Immediately Hazrat Jibra'eel ‫ عليه سلم‬appeared and said, “O Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬of Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬ ‫ ه‬, this
‫ل‬ ‫ل‬
decision will be made by Almighty Allah َ‫سببلحانهه لوتللعالﯽى‬ ‫ل‬ ‫ل‬
‫ ه‬.” Thus Almighty Allah َ‫سببلحانهه لوتللعالﯽى‬
‫ ه‬commanded
Hazrat Jibra'eel ‫ عليه سلم‬to take an apple from 'Jannah' (Paradise) and to drop it over their boards. The
best piece of work will be that on which the apple will fall.
Hazrat Jibra'eel ‫ عليه سلم‬then did as commanded and dropped the apple over the boards. The apple fell
and split into two equal pieces, half on the board of Hazrat Imam Hassan ‫ عليه سلم‬and half on the board
of Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫عليه سلم‬.
Subhaanallah! This showed that both of their Calligraphic writing was equal. It also shows us what
excellence has been bestowed on the grandsons of Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬that the decision concerning their
writing is made in the Divine Court of Almighty Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬.
Once, Hazrat Imam Hassan ‫ عليه سلم‬and Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬had gone outside for a long time and
Hazrat Bibi Fatima ‫ رضي ا تعالﯽﯽعنه‬became very worried. She was still thinking about where the
children might have gone when the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬arrived at her home. She immediately asked her
beloved father, “Ya Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬, Hassan and Hussain cannot be found. They have gone out and we
do not know their whereabouts.”
Just then, Hazrat Jibra'eel ‫ عليه سلم‬descended and said, “Ya Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬, there is nothing to worry
about. Both the children are at a certain place and Almighty Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬has appointed angels to
protect them.”
On hearing this, Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬went to the spot pointed out by Hazrat Jibra'eel ‫ عليه سلم‬and He ‫ ﷺ‬saw
that both the beloved grandsons were resting and an angel had one of his wings under them and was
shading them with the other wing. The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬kissed both of them and carried them home
to Hazrat Bibi Fatima ‫رضي ا تعالﯽﯽعنه‬.
Once a Bedouin presented himself in the court of Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬and said, “I heard your
Beloved Grandfather ‫ ﷺ‬say that when one is in need of anything, then one should request this from one
of four persons; either from a Pious Arab, or from a Pious Master, or from a 'Hafiz ul Qur'an' (One who
has Memorized the Holy Quran), or from a Graceful Person, and all these four qualities are found in
you in the highest form.
The reason for this, is that if the entire Arabia received Piety, it is through your blessed family, and
generosity is your beautiful quality; as for the Qur'an, this was revealed in your home and concerning
your gracefulness, I heard your Beloved Grandfather ‫ ﷺ‬say, “If you wish to see me, then look at
Hassan and Hussain.”
Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬listened to his words and then said, “I heard my Beloved Grandfather
Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬saying, “Piety is according to one's knowledge.” I will thus ask you three religious
questions. I have with me this bag. If you answer one question I shall give you one third of what is in
the bag; if you answer two, then I shall give you half of what is in this bag and if you answer all the
questions, then I shall give you all of what is in the bag.”
Bedouin was very pleased and requested Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬to present the questions. He
asked, “Which action is the most exalted amongst all actions?”
The Bedouin replied, “To bring faith in Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬.” Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬then asked,
“What protects a servant from destruction?”
He answered, “In having complete 'Tawakkul' (Trust) in Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬.” Imam Hussain ‫عليه سلم‬
then asked, “What is that through which a servant attains his splendor?” He answered, “By knowledge
which is accompanied with good deeds.”
He asked, “And if one does not have this quality?” He answered, “He should have that wealth in which
there is generosity.” He then asked, “And what if one does not have such wealth?” He said, “He should
be Patient in his Poverty.”
Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬then asked, “And what if someone is not in such Poverty (where he is
Patient)?” The Bedouin replied, “Then he should be struck by a bolt of lightning.” On hearing these
answers, Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬smiled and gave him the entire bag.
Once Hazrat Imam Hassan ‫عليه سلم‬, Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬and Hazrat Abdullah ibn Jafar ‫رضي ا‬
‫ عنه‬had gone together on Hajj. On their way, the camel which was carrying food, water and belongings
went astray and was left far behind.
They came to a shack belonging to a very old woman. All three of them went over to the shack and told
the woman that they were very thirsty and asked if she could spare them something to drink. The old
woman kindly milked her goats and presented the goats milk for them to drink.
They then kindly asked if she had anything for them to eat. The old woman said that the food was not
prepared but if they wished to wait, she would slaughter the goat and cook it for them. They thus
agreed to wait. The goat was slaughtered and the old woman cooked a delicious meal.
All of them happily partook in the meal, and on leaving they informed the old woman that they were of
the Quraish tribe and they invited her to visit them in Medina Shareef, so that they may return her
generous favor. The three of them then continued on their journey. Her husband came home later that
day and found that she had cooked the goat. He was very angry that she had fed the goat to people she
did not even know.
Some time passed and both the old woman and her husband became very poor. They traveled to
Medina Munawwarra where they earned very little money gathering and selling camel droppings. Once
while she was walking in Medina Shareef, Hazrat Imam Hassan ‫ عليه سلم‬spotted her. He immediately
went up to her and asked if she recognized him.
The old woman said that she could not and Imam Hassan ‫ عليه سلم‬explained to her that he was amongst
those who stopped at her shack and partook in a meal which she provided for them. On hearing this she
was very pleased and she informed Hazrat Imam Hassan ‫ عليه سلم‬of her situation.
Hazrat Imam Hassan ‫ عليه سلم‬took her to his home and gave her one thousand goats and one thousand
dinars in cash. He then asked his servant to take her to the home of Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫عليه سلم‬.
Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬asked her what her brother had given her, and he too blessed her with one
thousand goats and one thousand dinars.
Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬then asked his servant to take her to the home of Hazrat Abdullah ibn
Jafar ‫ رضي ا عنه‬. He was very pleased to see her and asked what both Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain
(R.A) had given her. She replied that all together they had given her two thousand goats and two
thousand dinars. On hearing this he gave her two thousand goats and two thousand dinars.
The old woman was now very pleased, and took the four thousand goats and four thousand dinars and
went to her husband. She presented these to him and said, “This is a gift from that generous family to
whom I had fed one goat.” Subhan Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ! ه‬What generosity did Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫عليه‬
‫ سلم‬and his family possess.
May Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬Grant us the 'Taufeeq' (Ability/ Opportunity) to instill in us; and our children the
Beautiful Qualities possessed by Hazrat Imam Hassan ‫ عليه سلم‬and Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫عليه سلم‬
Ameen.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬, had openly Prophesied that the Faith of Islam would be rescued by
his second Grandson Hazrat Hussain ‫عليه سلم‬, when Yazid, son of Muawiayh, would endeavor to destroy
it. Yazid was known for his devilish character and brutish conduct. He was known as the most
licentious of men. The people having known and understood the character of Yazid, fromed a covenant
by which Muawiyah could not appoint Yazid as his successor. This undertaking was given by
Muawiyah to Hazrat Imam Hassan ‫ عليه سلم‬from whom Muawiyah had snatched power. Muawiyah
violated this undertaking and nominated Yazid who succeeded his father. Immediately as he came to
power, Yazid began acting in full accordance with his known character. He started interfering in the
fundamentals of the faith and practiced every vice and wickedness freely with the highest degree of
impunity and yet held himself out as the successor of the Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬, demanding allegiance to
himself as the leading guide of the faith. Paying allegiance to Yazid was nothing short of
acknowledging the devil as Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬. If a Divine personality like the Holy Hazrat Imam
Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬had agreed to his authority, it would be actually recommending the devil to humanity in
place of Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬. Yazid demanded allegiance from the Holy Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫عليه سلم‬,
who could have never agreed to it at any cost. The people fearing death and destruction at the hands of
the tyrant had yielded to him out of fear. Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬said that come whatever may, he
would never yield to the devil in place of Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬and undo what his Grandfather, the Holy
Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬had Established. The refusal of the Holy Imam ‫ عليه سلم‬to pay allegiance to this fiend,
marked the start of the persecution of the Holy Imam ‫عليه سلم‬. as a result he had retired to Medina where
he led a secluded life. Even here he was not allowed to live in peace, and was forced to seek refuge in
Mecca where also he was badly harassed, and Yazid plotted to murder him in the very precincts of the
great sanctuary of Kabah. The people of Kufa getting tired of the tyrannic and satanic rule of Yazid, had
written innumerable letters and sent Emissaries to Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬to come over and give them
guidance in faith. Although Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬knew the ultimate end of the invitations, he,
as the divinely chosen Imam could not refuse to give the Guidance sought for. When the Holy Imam
with his Entourage had reached Karbala, his Horse mysteriously stopped and would not move any
further. Upon this the Holy Imam declared: "This is the land , the land of sufferings and tortures."He
alighted from his Horse, and ordered his Followers to Encamp there saying: "Here shall we be
Martyred and our Children be killed. Here shall our Tents be burned and our Family arrested. This is
the land about which my Grandfather the Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬had foretold, and his prophecy will
certainly be fulfilled." On the 7th of Moharram, Water Supply to the Imam's Camp was cut and he
torture of thirst and hunger started. The Holy Imam's Camp consisted of Ladies, Innocent Children
including babies and some Male Members of the Holy Prophet's ‫ ﷺ‬Family; along with a Small Band
of some Faithful Friends of Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬who had chosen to die with the Holy Imam
‫عليه سلم‬, fighting against the devil for the cause of Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬.
The Day of Ashura (10th of Moharram):
At dawn, the Imam glanced over the army of Yazid and saw Umar ibn Saad ordering his forces to
march towards him. He gathered his followers and addressed them thus:" Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬has, this
day, permitted us for our Martyrdom. So Prepare yourselves to fight against the enemies of Islam with
patience and resistance. O sons of the noble and self - respecting persons, be patient! Death is nothing
but a bridge which you must cross after facing trials and tribulations so as to reach Heaven and its joys.
Which of you do not like to go from this prison (World) to the lofty palaces (Paradise)?" Having heard
the Imam's address, All his Companions were overwhelmed and cried out , " O our Master! We are all
ready to defend you and your Ahl ul-Ba'ait, and to sacrifice our lives for the cause of Islam."Hazrat
Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬sent out from his camp one after another to fight and sacrifice their lives in the
way of the Lord. Lastly, when all his men and children had laid down their lives, Hazrat Imam Hussain
‫ عليه سلم‬brought his six- month old baby son, Hazrat Ali al- Asghar ‫عليه سلم‬, and offering him on his own
hands, demanded some water for the baby, dying of thirst. The thirst of the baby was quenched by a
deadly poisoned arrow from the brute's forces, which pinned the baby's neck to the arm of the helpless
father. At last when the six-month old baby also was killed, Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬Addressed
Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬: "O Lord! Thy Hussain has offered in Thy way whatever Thou hath blessed him
with. Bless Thy Hussain, O Lord! with the acceptance of this sacrifice. Every thing Hussain could do
till now was through Thy help and by Thy Grace."Lastly Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬came into the
field and was killed, the details of which merciless slaughter are heart rending. the forces of Yazid
having killed Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬, cut and severed his head from his body and raised it on a
lance. After the wholesale, merciless and most brutal slaughter of the Holy Imam with his faithful band,
the helpless ladies and children along with the ailing son of Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫عليه سلم‬, Hazrat Imam
Ali Zain ul - Abidin ‫عليه سلم‬, were taken captives.

Sayings of the Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬during his Lifetime with Reference to Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫عليه‬
‫ سلم‬:
1. Hassan and Hussain are the Leaders of the Youths of Paradise.
2. Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain, Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬Befriends those who befriend
Hussain and He is the Enemy of those who bear Enmity to him.
3. Whoever wishes to see such a person who lives on earth but whose Dignity is honored by the
Heaven Dwellers, should see my Grandson Hussain.
4. O my son! Thy Flesh is my Flesh and thy Blood is my Blood, thou art a Leader , the son of a
Leader and the Brother of a Leader; thou art a Spiritual Guide, the son of a Spiritual Guide and the
Brother of a Spiritual Guide; thou art an Apostolical Imam , the son of an Apostolical Imam and the
brother of an Apostolical Imam; thou art the Father of nine Imams, the ninth of whom would be the
Qaim (the Last Infallible Spiritual Guide).
5. The punishment inflicted on the murderer of Hussain in Hell would be equal to half of the total
punishment to be imposed on the entire sinners of the world.
6. When the Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬informed Hazrat Fatima ‫ رضي ا تعالﯽﯽعنها‬of the Martyrdom in store
for his Grandson, she burst into tears and asked, "O my Father! when would my son be Martyred?" "In
such a critical moment," replied the Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬," When neither I nor you, nor Ali would be alive.
"This accentuated her grief and she inquired again," Who then, O my Father, would commemorate
Hussein's martyrdom? The Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬said, "The men and the women of a particular sect of my
followers, who will befriend my Ahlu l-Bayt, will mourn for Hussain and commemorate his martyrdom
each year in every century." Ibn Sad narrates from Ash-Shabi: Hazrat Imam Ali ‫ كرم ا ووجهو‬while on
his way to Siffin, passed through the desert of Karbala, there he stopped and wept very bitterly. When
interrogated regarding the cause of his weeping, he commented that one day he visited the Holy
Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬and found him weeping. when he asked the Apostle of Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬as to what was
the reason which made him weep, he replied, "O Ali, Jibr'iel ‫ عليسسه سسسلم‬has just been with me and
informed me that my son Hussain would be martyred in Karbala, a place near the bank of the River
Euphartes. This moved me so much that I could not help weeping." Hazrat Anas ibn Harith ‫دحمت ا علے‬
narrates: One day the Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬ascended the pulpit to deliver a Sermon to his Associates while
Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬and Hazrat Imam Hassan ‫ عليه سلم‬were sitting before him. When address
was over, he put his left hand on Hazrat Imam Hussain and raising his head towards Heaven, said:"O
my lord! I am Muhammad Thy slave and Thy Prophet, and these two are the Distinguished and Pious
Members of my Family who would fortify My Cause after me. O my Lord! Jibr'iel ‫ عليسسه سسسلم‬has
informed me that son Hussain would be killed. O my Lord! bless my cause in recompense for Hussain's
Martrydom, make him the leader of the Martyrs, be Thou his Helper and Guardian and do not Bless his
murderers".

Allama Muhammad Iqbal says: Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬uprooted despotism forever till the Day of
Resurrection. He watered the dry garden of freedom with the surging wave of his blood, and indeed he
awakened the sleeping Muslim nation. If Hazrat Imam Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬had aimed at acquiring a worldly
empire, he would not have traveled the way he did (from Medina to Karbala). He weltered in blood and
dust for the sake of truth. Verily he, therefore, became the bed-rock (foundation) of the Muslim creed;
La ilaha illa Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ( ه‬There is no Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬but Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫) ه‬.

Hazrat Ghareeb Nawaz, Sultan al Hind, Khwaja Muin ud Din wal Haq wal Millat ‫ دحمت ا علے‬says:
“He gave his head but did not put his hand into the hands of Yazid.
Verily, Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬is the foundation of La ilaha illa Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬.
Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬is Lord and the Lord of Lords.
Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬himself is Islam and the shield of Islam.
Though he gave his Head (for Islam) but never pledged with Yazid.
Truly Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬is the Fountain head of "There is no Deity except Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬."

Brown in his A Literary of Persia Writes: As a reminder, the blood-stained field of Karbala where the
Grandson of the Apostle of Allah َ‫سببلحانلهه لوتللعاللﯽى‬
‫ ه‬fell at length, tortured by thirst and surrounded by the
bodies of his murdered kinsmen, has been at any time since then sufficient to evoke, even in the most
lukewarm and heedless, the deepest emotion, the most frantic grief and the exaltation of spirit before
which pain, danger, and death shrink to unconsidered trifles. Yearly, on the tenth day of Moharram, the
tragedy is rehearsed in Iran, in India, in Turkey, in Egypt, wherever a Shiite community or colony
exists. Hazrat Moula Hussain ‫ عليه سلم‬was Martyred in Karbala (Iraq) at the age of 57,on Friday, 10th
Moharram 61 AH and is buried there.
