His Eminence, peace of Allah be upon him, declared his lofty aims in his own words as follows: “I did not come out to spread mischief, aimless things or oppression. Indeed I have come out to reform the nation of my grandfather, the Messenger of Allah (s). I wish to enjoin good and forbid evil…” It was due to these lofty principles that the tale of Husain became immortal and it entered all the languages of the world.

They were absolutely helpless and nothing remained in their society to oppose or resist or protest against the oppressions of the tyrannical rulers.
