Who Is Hussain?
He gave everything he had, including his life, for the greater good and for the benefit of those around him, and his epic legacy continues to inspire millions across the world on a daily basis.
Know the story of Karbala and you will...
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.
Hussain had a choice to make. To endorse Yazid would no doubt mean a handsome reward and a life of luxury. To refuse would invariably lead to his own demise. What should he do? What would you or I do? For Hussain the choice between the easy thing and the right thing was no choice at all.
Hussain refused.
He said: "I will never give Yazid my hand like a man who has been humiliated, nor will I flee like a slave... I have not risen to spread evil or to show off... I only desire to enjoin good values and prevent evil."
