As it is impossible to accommodate in this brief work here, all the heart-rending details of the greatest sacrifice offered by Husayn, only a few leading events are mentioned in these few pages which will suffice to give any intelligent reader, a view of the situation in which Husayn surrendered his all to fulfil the Lord’s Covenant to save Humanity from getting astray after the departure of the HolyProphet.

The Other Reference Used Having mentioned in the foregoing pages, the blessings, which the Holy had brought for mankind, it is needless to repeat the same. Only the relevant events directly connected with the great sacrifice are, as a necessity, referred to here for the guidance of the readers. Husayn's Mother - Why the Last Apostle of God was given only a Daughter and not any son to survive?

The Holy had two Sons and a daughter, but Sons he did not need, for his apostleship had to conclude with his ministry, and if any son of the Holy Prophet had survived, it would have given the chance to the people to hail the son of the Prophet also to be another prophet of God, whereas there was no prophet to come after him. It may be said that this was the reason of the male issues of the Holy Apostle leaving this world, in their very infancy.

But the Holy Prophet needed a daughter of his own purity of spirit and body, to reflect the divine light of guidance in her ideal character and present an authentic model of the correct Islamic womanhood to the world. Hence Fatimah, the Lady of Light, was born to the Holy Prophet, who, for her godly qualities, is known in the Islamic World by the following epithets: Az-Zahra - The Shining. Al-Batul - The Liberator of Sinners. A1-Azra - The Clean, the Pure. Sayyeddatun-Nisa - The Chief of Women.

Afzalun-Nisa- The Superior-most of women. Khairun-Nisa- The Best of Women. Mariam al Kubra - The Senior Mary. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was the mother of only one heavenly guide to the children of the House of Israel, whereas Lady Fatimah besides her being the daughter of the Holy Apostle of God, was the mother of the Eleven Divinely Commissioned Guides, (i.e., the Holy Imams).

It is a unique instance in the history of the world that the issues of a single pair to have Eleven Heavenly Guides, consecutively one after another. Al-Muharaka - The Blessed one of God. As-Sadiqa - The Truthful. Al-Muhaddisa - The one who talked to her mother from the womb of her mother even prior to her birth.
