Al-Husain’s Prior Knowledge of His Martyrdom - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief Al-Husain’s Prior Knowledge of His Martyrdom 2021-06-22 380 Views Imam Husain , Martyrdom of Husain , Husain ibn Ali The Shari’a condones one’s walking to his death when doing so to serve a common interest greater than that of his own life, such as the continuity of the creed or of the Shari’a , or to bring to life a certain fact, an objective which cannot be realized in any other way, such as the case with regard to al-Husain (‘a.s) taking such an amazing stand, thus reciting to the multitude a white tablet which generations and epochs have been reciting ever since.

Through his holy uprising, Imam Husain (‘a.s) acquainted present and future nations with what the Umayyads did and with those who discarded and violated the sacred laws of the Shari’a . Nations have learned lessons from the courage demonstrated by the most oppressed one (‘a.s), that they should welcome death with open arms, that they should sacrifice their all in order to support the call propagated by Muhammad (PBUHH) and learn from it lofty lessons.

They learned how to persist in defending their principles, and to sacrifice everything precious in order to liberate themselves from the claws of oppression.

Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan al-Shaybani rejects the notion that it is despondency that causes one to attack a thousand men knowing that he has no chance of survival or of defeating the enemy by so doing, saying that such an action is not suicide because there is a benefit in it for the Muslims: it strengthens their determination and provides them with a shot in the arm that rejuvenates their energy and determination to defend their principles and to die in dignity.

Abu Abdullah, al-Husayn (‘a.s), by the same token, surpasses everyone else in doing so when he defied the large multitude that had sunk in falsehood. He, it is true, caused the death of his holy self as well as that of pure ones from among his family and followers.

He exposed the offspring of the Messenger of Allah (PBUHH) to plundering and captivity, yet he inscribed upon the face of time with words of noor the truth about his uprising and the falsehood of all the allegations propagated by his foe that had deviated from the canons of truth and became immersed in oppression.
