Imam Hussein in the eyes of Non-Muslims ANTOINE BARA, A Lebanese Christian Scholar: If Hussain was one of us, we would have put up a flag and a minaret for him in every part of the earth and called the people to Christianity No battle in the modern and past history of mankind has earned more sympathy and admiration as well as provided more lessons than the martyrdom of Hosanna in the battle of Karbala. MAHATMA GANDHI, The preeminent leader of Indian independence movement in British-ruled India: I learnt from Hussain how to achieve victory while being oppressed. My faith is that the progress of Islam does not depend on the use of sword by its believers, but the result of the supreme sacrifice of Hussain the great saint. DR. K. SHELDRAKE Of that gallant band, male and female knew that the enemy forces around were implacable, and were not only ready to fight, but to kill. Denied even water for the children, they remained parched under the burning sun and scorching sands, yet not one faltered for a moment. Hussain marched with his little company, not to glory, not to power of wealth, but to a supreme sacrifice, and every member bravely faced the greatest odds without flinching. EDWARD GIBBON, An English Historian In a distant age and climate, the tragic scene of the death of Hussain will awaken the sympathy of the coldest reader. RAJENDRA PRASAD. The first President of the Republic of India: The sacrifice of Hussain is not limited to one country, or nation, but it is the hereditary state of the brotherhood of all mankind. CHARLES DICKENS, An English Novelist: “If Hussain had fought to quench his worldly desires…then I do not understand why his sister, wife, and children accompanied him. It stands to reason therefore, that he sacrificed purely for Islam.” THOMAS CARLYLE, A Scottish Philosopher: The best lesson which we get from the tragedy of Karbala is the Hussain(as) and his companions were the rigid believers of God. They illustrated that numerical superiority does not count when it comes to truth and falsehood. The victory of Hussain(as) despite his minority marvels me! SAROJINI NAIDU, Indian independence Activist and Poet: ...after thirteen centuries, the inspiration of Imam Hussains(as) example still shines, in undimmed splendor, to guide countless seekers after truth and freedom. He stands high above all conflicts and the challenge of time, the immortal symbol of victory over wrong and unrighteousness.
