IMAM HUSSAIN & THE TRAGEDY OF KARBALA
Imam al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) was a great character who epitomised the essence of Islam in thought, words and actions. In all corners of the Muslim world, his name lives on to represent bravery, piety and selflessness.
This booklet (42 pages, A5, paperback) highlights the one event that Imām al-Husayn (may Allāh be pleased with him) was best known for, his martyrdom in Karbala. From the most reliable sources (Tarikh al-Khulafa, Tarikh al-Islam, Tarikh al-Tabari and al-Bidaya wa al-Nihaya) this work charts the events leading up to the fateful battlefield, his martyrdom and the aftermath of his sacrifice. At the end of the work, there are several appendixes related to the event, such as ‘was Yazid forgiven?’ and the superiority of the Day of Ashura.
This work is the efforts of Allama Muhammad Shahid Raza Na’imi, may Allah elevate his status in al-Firdaws, Ameen.
