First of all...

First of all, God, the Exalted has promised to His sincere servants that their names will be commemorated and mentioned in this world as well as in the world to come. One of the signs of their eternal life in this world is the presence of handsome buildings on their tombs to remind of their situation, way of life and piety to their Creator. As these pious individuals have played exemplary roles during their lives, their shrines keep alive their examples in the minds of people.

This should be followed for winning happiness in this life and the life to come. The holy shrines too, have become the shelters of those who are inflicted with worldly disasters and those who seek refuge of God. Under the domes of such shrines all supplications to God are responded to, all screams of the repentant are heard and all cries of seekers of succor are answered.

These holy shrines finally, have very frequently been the seat of reestablishments of relations with the Lord, many revolutions against individual and shared wrong and injustice and many returns towards God. Location Historians have confirmed that Imam al-Husayn (a) used to carry the bodies of his soldiers who were killed in the battlefield to a special tent prepared for this purpose.

For instance, historians have confirmed that al-Hurr ibn Yazid when killed, was carried to the tent where those who had been killed were kept and Imam al-Husayn ordered some young men of his household to carry the body of his son ‘Ali to that tent, and he himself carried the body of al-Qasim, his nephew to the same tent.

It is also related that Imam al-Baqir (a) said: “Al-Husayn used to place the bodies of the killed ones in one place and used to comment: These martyrs are just like the martyred Prophets and sons of Prophets.”[^3] Nevertheless, Imam al-Husayn (a) left the body of his brother al-’Abbas in the place where he fell wounded at the banks of the River al-Alqami, near the dam.
