On the 10th of Muharram while addressing to the Yazid forces Hazrat Imam Hussain (as) had said; “O people if you have deserted Islam at least you are human beings and I am crusading for your human rights. I am seeing that the sword of tyranny is on your heads and the morsels of loaves have been even snatched from you.” Imam Hussain was reminding them of human rights. Islam is the religion of human values and human rights. In the above-mentioned words of Imam Hussain it is candidly portrayed that he was an exponent of human freedom and justice. Hazrat Imam Hussain presented practical evidence of the existence of God. He sacrificed his life with the lives of his dear kinsmen and companions in the way of God. He was slaughtered mercilessly. On the plain of Karbala he exhibited unprecedented daring feat. His determination, valor and prowess have left indelible traces on the pages of history. Dr. Iqbal says: “He wrote the word; no god but Allah on the sands Engraved he the title of our redemption. Until doomsday he cut the roots of fascism The surge of his blood invented a flower bed.” Yazid asked Imam Hussain for allegiance which he denied. How could he endorse the un-Islamic rule and regime of Yazid. He fully knew the aftermaths of this refusal but with robust energy and unyielding will he bore the brunt. As he had carried the standard of Tawhid he did not bow before a drunkard and debauch who was the tyrant of the time. The last words on the lips of Imam Hussain, when Shamir Bin Zee Josham was cutting his throat, were Allah, Allah. While addressing the savage troops of Yazid at Karbala he had said; “If Islam cannot be established without my murder, O, swords come and mangle me in to pieces.” The survival and establishment of Islamic code of life was the only mission of Hazrat Imam Hussain. How pathetic verses he chanted on the hot plain of Karbala addressing Allah; “I have left the whole world in your desire. I accepted the orphanage of my children in your remembrance. If in your love my body is mangled in to pieces, even then my wounded heart will be in your quest.” Labbaik Ya Hussain (AS)
