- Who is Hussain (A.S)
The Man Who Stood for Truth
Imam Hussain ibn Ali (A.S.), the noble grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), is remembered as a symbol of unwavering truth, bravery, and compassion. In 680 CE, he stood up against the tyrannical rule of Yazid, who sought to corrupt the values of Islam for personal gain. Refusing to give allegiance to injustice, Imam Hussain (A.S.) chose the path of sacrifice over submission, fully aware that his stand would cost him his life.
On the plains of Karbala, alongside his family and a small group of loyal companions, Imam Hussain (A.S.) faced an army many times larger. With no access to water and under immense suffering, they upheld their principles with unmatched patience and dignity. His powerful stance was not for power or revenge, but to protect the moral fabric of society and to awaken the conscience of the Muslim Ummah.
