It is a true story of the world.
The final stand of Hussain ibn Ali.
That night Hussain assembled his group, stressing to them that it was
his life that Yazid wanted and that they might be able to escape.
Again, Hussain’s selflessness shone through. There he stood, amongst his
family and companions, all having been deprived of water in the
scorching desert for three days, pleading with them to leave him and
save themselves!
No more than 50 years had passed since the death of Muhammad (the last Prophet of Islam) and the Muslim Empire was sliding into corruption under a tyrant from the Ummayad dynasty, Yazid.
Hussain ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad took a stand
against Yazid’s illegitimate rule. Whilst Yazid was in equal parts
feared and despised for his ruthlessness, Hussain was admired and
respected by society at large. Mindful of this, Yazid decided that he
would demand Hussain’s allegiance, hoping to gain some form of
legitimacy for his inherited rule.
