\n \n Imam Hussain -asws acted in accordance to Divine Commands, as per the Instructions exclusively laid out for the Imam -asws in the Divine Tablet: \n \n (An extract of a Hadith) \n \u2018The Tablet was handed over to Imam Hussain -asws who broke its seal related to him -asws and opened the Tablet, it was written that he -asws should rise up in order to be martyred and only those will meet martyrdom who will fight in his -asws support.\u00a0 Thus, Imam -asws acted upon these (Divine) Instructions\u2019 (see Ahadith in next section as well as in Appendix II).
\n \n Imam Hussain -asws \u2019s struggle had never been directed to topple the government of Yazid -la nor to form a parallel government but to awaken those who had fallen victim of propaganda of the falsehood: \n \n (An extract of a Hadith) \n Imam Hussain -asws replied (when told about unreliability of people of Kufa): \u2018If my -asws purpose of going to Kufa were to stage a war to topple the government (of Yazid -la ), then there was neither a need for me -asws to travel to Kufa, nor to Makkah, I -asws could have done so from my -asws home in Madina\u2019.\u00a0 Imam -asws showed them the arrays of armed angels lined up in the skies awaiting for the command to assist Imam -asws \u2019.\u00a0 (see ref.14) \n \n Imam Hussain -asws reiterated at several stations, I -asws know, we -asws will be martyred and our innocent children -asws and women -asws will be made captives, however, I -asws will still proceed towards Kufa, as I -asws have been told in my -asws dream by my -asws grandfather -saww ( -saww ) to leave Holy Kabah (Makkah) and to go to the desert of Karbala: \n \n (An extract of a Hadith) \n \u2018(Imam Hussain -asws said (to Muhammad Bin Al-Hanafiyya: \u2018Rasool-Allah -saww came to me (in a dream) after you left me (yesterday) and he -saww said: \u2018O Hussain -asws !
Go out, for Allah -zawj has Desired that Allah -zawj Sees you -asws being killed\u2019 (in His -zawj Way). \n Muhammad Bin Al-Hanafiyya said, \u2018We are for Allah -zawj and we are returning to Him -zawj .
So what is the meaning of your -asws carrying these women along with you -asws , and you -asws are going out upon a state like this?\u2019 \n Al-Hanafiyya says, \u2018So Imam Hussain -asws said to me: \u2018Surely, Allah -zawj has Desired that He -zawj Sees these (children and womenfolk) as captives\u2019. So he greeted Imam -asws and went away.\u2019 (see ref. 6).
