A Prophet who had changed the course of history and had transformed the meanings of life and alone he stood against the great powers who stood in his way of spreading the word of God.

And he did not care for them and told his uncle, Abu Talib, the believer of Quraish: “By Allah, if the sun is placed in my right hand and the moon in the left and I am asked to refrain from this (prophethood of Islam) I shall not do so till I die, or that the Almighty Allah may make them successful.” By this powerful determination he confronted the powers of polytheism and was able to dominate the direction of the events.

In the same way the eminent grandson of His Eminence arose against the Umayyad kingdom and without any doubt and announced his denial to pay oath of allegiance to Yazid, and in spite of the scarcity of his helpers he left for the battlefield of the holy war, so that he may bestow loftiness to the word of truth and destroy falsehood, while the large number of Umayyad fighters were mobilized to confront him.

However, His Eminence did not worry about it and he announced his intention and aim in his immortal words, saying, “I don’t see death but as success; and life with the oppressors as nothing but a deviation.” He moved towards the field of honor and respect with his family members of Ahle Bayt (‘a) and his companions so that he may hoist the flag of Islam and obtain a great success and victory for the nation of Islam till he finally reached martyrdom.

Peace of God be on him as he was the strongest person with regard to determination and foremost with regard to will and intention. He did not mind bearing all those circumstances that make the intellects and minds bewildered. 2 – Refusal to accept Injustice Among the characteristics of Imam Husain (‘a) was the illuminated quality of: Refusal to accept oppression.
