What a world of difference...

What a world of difference, the difference in the point of view a reader creates, can very well be seen from the various opinions which the readers of one and the same holy scripture, from, for the view of one and the same object, naturally differs a great deal from angle of angle.

Taking for instance the example of the HOLY QUR'AN which being the unmistakable and the unchallengeable Final Word of God; it is understood differently by different people who study it from the different points of view, away from the correct one. Some are rightly guided by the HOLY QUR'AN but from the very same Holy Book of God, some draw a different meaning altogether misleading, and get themselves beguiled to criticize its teachings and to attack the Holy .

The HOLY QUR'AN has itself declared this aspect of its study saying: "This book (the QUR'AN) no doubt is there (about its being the Word of God), (but) it is a guidance (only) for the pious" [HOLY QUR'AN, 2:2]. "This (The HOLY QUR'AN) is only a narrative for (the ordinary) people, and a guidance and an exhortation to the pious" [HOLY QUR'AN, 3:138].

Thus to have a correct view of the great sacrifices offered by the Holy Prophet and the divinely chosen members of his family, more particularly the invaluable sacrifices offered by the HOLY IMAM HUSSAIN, the second grandson of the Holy Prophet, it is essential to view the events in their proper context connected with their causative factors and the other important environmental background.

It is only to serve this unavoidable demand for the correct understanding of the Great Events that some of the important factors connected with the Great Tragedy, are herewith given with the maximum possible brevity, leaving the other details for a deeper study of the subject by those interested in it.

THE WHOLE HUMNA RACE- ONE FAMILY Humanity or the human race as a whole, was originally one family, consisting of the children of one and same parents, which fact had long been forgotten and even today, in many parts of the world, it is totally neglected and has become practically unknown.

Leaving aside the wild tribes of the wilderness of Africa, one cannot help sorrowfully and disgracefully citing the living instance of the treatment which the colored members of the human family, receive from the white ones of the same lineage, in spite of the latter's lofty claim to the high standard of civilization and culture.
