It is said that as the good news of birth
of his grandson reached Prophet
Mohammad, he came and recited Azan
and other prayers in his right and left
ears, respectively. Prophet Mohammad
named him Husain in compliance with
God's command on the 7th day of his
birth. Prophet Mohammad prophesied
that his second grandson Husain
would rescue the faith of Islam when
Yezid attempts to destroy it.
When Yezid the son of Muawiya came
to power, he held himself as the
successor of Prophet Mohammad
demanding to be as the leading guide
of the faith. Imam Husain said that he
would never gives in at any cost to
anything other than God's commands
and what his grandfather had
established.
Imam Husain went to Medina and led a
secluded life. Yezid continued to
harass Imam Husain so he went to
Mecca. Yezid said he would murder
him in Kaaba so he had to leave Mecca
a day before Hajj pilgrimage. When
Imam Husain horse mysteriously
stopped in Kerbala and did not go
further, he knew that this is the land of
suffering and martyrdom.
On the 7th day of Moharram, water
supply was cut off the Imam's camp
including men, women, children and
the torment of thirst and hunger
began.
At 10th day of Moharram known as
Ashura (Ashoora), Yezid ordered his
army to march towards him. Imam
Husain gathered his followers and told
them that God (Allah) has permitted us
to be in a holy war on this day and
God will reward us for our Martyrdom.
He prepared his followers for death
and bridging from this world to the
other world.
After Imam Husain followers gave their
lives one by one, he brought his six
month old baby son Ali Asghar,
offering him to his enemy and
requesting for some water for the
baby who was dying of thirst. Instead
of water, poison was given to the
baby which killed him.
At last, Imam Husain came to the field
and was murdered. His head was cut
off and raised on a lance.The head of
Holy Imam began praising God and
saying "Allaho Akbar' meaning "All
glory be to God who is the greatest!"
