Karbala: The Tragedy of Sacrifice and Justice.
Once upon a time, during the early years of Islam, there existed a noble and righteous man named Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad. He was the son of Imam Ali and Lady Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet. Imam Hussein was known for his piety, wisdom, and unwavering devotion to upholding the principles of justice and righteousness.
However, the Islamic world was plagued by corruption and tyranny, with Yazid Ibn Muawiya, a cruel and tyrannical ruler, ascending to the position of caliph. Yazid demanded complete allegiance from Muslims and sought to establish his despotic rule over the entire Muslim community.
Imam Hussein, being a pious and conscientious leader, refused to pledge his loyalty to Yazid. He believed that Yazid's rule was antithetical to the true teachings of Islam and that he had a moral obligation to stand up against tyranny and fight for justice. With this noble purpose in mind, Imam Hussein gathered a small band of loyal and brave followers, including his family members, and set out for the city of Kufa to rally support against Yazid's regime.
News of Imam Hussein's intention to challenge Yazid's rule spread like wildfire, reaching the ears of the corrupt governor of Kufa, Ubaidullah Ibn Ziyad. Terrified by the prospect of losing his power, Ubaidullah dispatched his forces to intercept and quell the rising rebellion.
